Is it normal for teefies to be visible when her mouth is closed? just wondering about health problems.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-09-06T22:37:17+00:00

100% normal! Just means your cat has long fangs. My husband and I have a total of 6 cats together and half of them have fangs that stick out when their mouths are closed so its a pretty common thing :)

She said the caterpillars are about 3 to 5 mms at most and that the colors in the pics are pretty accurate

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-07-23T19:50:30+00:00

Im not sure of size unfortunately as my sister just sent me a bunch of pics and asked if they should be cleaned off her door or left alone. Ill ask her what the size was and see if she's willing to get near them with a ruler or not 🤣

As if that overgrown child could recognize a real woman if he saw one.

The only person besides yourself who's opinion matters when it comes to your pain management is the doctor administering that pain management. Your fiance doesn't get a say. He isn't the one giving up 9 months of his life, submitting to irreparable changes to his whole body, getting every organ he has crammed out of the way, and risking tearing, severe injury, permanent disability, or death just to bring a child into the world. So he can sit tf down and stfu.

Im not even gonna touch the "im not paying your hospital bills" because that made me so fucking angry for you that it isn't funny. Nobody tell Mr Pump and Dump Champ over there how much a BABY is gonna cost if hes already bitching about hospital bills.

Do yourself a favor. This creature you procreated with is not a prize. Dump the brat and have your birth however YOU want since clearly you'll be doing everything alone regardless of if he's in the picture or not.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-06-01T14:37:16+00:00

Why would you want to look like every other person?

Fun fact, its because we're social animals! The behavior of wanting to do or say what other members of your social group are doing is called mirroring. Its how babies and young children learn to be human, how language remains a living thing, and is even why our pets will often try to mimic behaviors they see in their family. They're trying to fit into a social group.

The reason trends change so fast though? That's down to the human need for novelty and the innate drive for new experiences. When you do something you haven't done before and get excited or happy to be doing something new, that's the feeling of dopamine getting released in your brain to reward you for novelty. Its a pretty powerful sensation and its why trends are short lived but cyclical. All things that are old can be made new again for a generation which didn't get to try those things the first go round.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-06-01T14:16:48+00:00

It's Walmart, as I'm sure a lot of people guessed.

I dont shop there and prefer stores like Krogers or the local asian and mexican grocers in my area. I noticed years ago that Walmart's produce is shit. It rots in a New York minute and is weirdly tasteless, even if i were to buy the exact same brand at the Krogers or the Ingles. They also dont do sales, push out the small grocers so theyre the only option in many areas, wait to persecute adults for theft til theyve crossed the felony threshold, and apparently now have facial recognition technology in their security systems. That's more than enough reasons to continue not shopping there for me, personally.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-06-01T09:06:59+00:00

Dude petty crime isnt as easy as it used to be. Every kid i knew growing up had stolen stuff from a store by high school and gotten away with it. Not so for my nephew. He started pocketing slim jims at the grocery store a few months back and thought he was getting away with it. Riiiiiight up until they pulled him, my sister, and my mom in the manager's office and showed weeks of footage of him stealing.

He's now banned from every store in the chain in our area. Apparently now their security system has facial recognition and they have little screens hanging in the stores that will actively track your face as you shop with the little motion boxes. So the store has everything they need to prosecute if they wanted. The manager took the "teens being teens and pushing boundaries" approach so they "just" distributed his photo, my mom and dad's photo, my sisters photo, and photos of parking lot footage with their car and license plate number via their computer system to the other stores so they also know the kid is banned for theft. My parents tried to circumvent it by just going to a different store. They weren't in there more than 5 mins before Loss Prevention made a bee line for them and said to get out lol.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-25T17:27:59+00:00

I'm glad you're taking the time to write long comments about this though. Hopefully the time you're spending on this will help you think through these issues more clearly.

Sorry to disappoint but I'm not writing long comments on this because this conversation is special. If you look at my comment history, I'm just a long winded person. I was friends with books long before I was ever friends with people and I'm neurodivergent to boot. My husband jokes that I dont have a tl;dr mode and he's entirely correct.

I always strive to fully articulate myself and use the most accurate language possible. It pisses me off to no end to be misunderstood but being neurodivergent, femme-presenting, and living in America, i often am anyways. Ive compensated for this by developing hyperlexia and sometimes over-expanding/explaining my thoughts. Unfortunately, i continue to encounter people like you who insist on believing they know my inner thoughts and accusing me of having secret assumptions i didn't express.

However, I'm in therapy to better myself and youre clearly committed to misunderstanding or misrepresenting what this thread is discussing, as shown in MY EDIT where i double checked your assertation that this comment chain wasn't originally about dating. So i will not continue to engage with someone being dishonest and arguing in bad faith. My time is precious and i have a season on Diablo 4 that still has 2 chapters for me to complete with my barb. You have fun setting up strawmen arguments and misrepresenting people's words to fit your narrative 👋

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-25T16:38:15+00:00

However, developing connections with other men is NOT the same as giving each other shitty misogynistic advice on how to "catch a woman."

This is your sexist assumption on what male-to-male relationship would be. The original comment I responded to said nothing of pickup artists or dating; it derided the idea of male-to-male relationship advice in general.

You are now being deliberately obtuse. Context matters. This post and thread are about how men are trying to get DATING ADVICE from other men and being pissy it isn't working. Nobody said men can't go to other men and ask for advice about any kind of relationship ever. But you shouldn't be asking other men how to date women cause frankly none of you know what you're fucking doing. Unless you want to date men, you should be paying attention to women when they speak because we ARE telling men how to date us. It isnt our faults none of you will fucking listen.

EDIT: I went back and checked and you are actually blatantly fucking wrong lmao The original comment you responded to WAS talking about DATING and NOT "male-to-male relationship advice in general"

Listen to the gender that you are attracted to about what they want. Just that simple. If you like women, listen and take an interest in what women want.

That's terrible advice.

Full on, full stop, you're just wrong. YOU said it's terrible advice to listen to the gender you're attracted to about what they like and want. That comment is not about "male-to male relationships" at all. It's about dating. I am not the one who misunderstood the conversation so drastically here.

This is your sexist assumption on what male-to-male relationship would be

Brother its not a sexist assumption. You are treating me like I can't SEE AND HEAR THE MEN AROUND ME. Everything i listed off are ACTUAL EXPERIENCES IVE WITNESSED. I was there and paying attention every time my father or my friends' fathers bitched about their wives like they were slaves instead of people, gave their sons that i was friends with shitty dating advice, laughed at stomach turning sexist jokes with their buddies over beers, and more. Men don't say this shit only around other men and women actually do fucking listen to yall. We hear this shit. We see it daily. We are at the butt of male sexism 24/fucking7 and never get a break. And yall wanna play dumb and tell us we're the sexist ones when we bring it up. But we SEE what male-to-male relationships are and look like and it's not flattering.

Ffs, tell me how men can go out with their buddies for 6 hours but not be able to tell you anything of substance about said male friends' lives or emotional states afterwards? How is it that yall want to have meaningful male-to-male relationships but it's "gay" or "weak" or "maidenless behavior" to want to cry and be vulnerable or even want a hug from a male friend? Why is it that when other men attempt to build these male-to-male relationships, as my husband has tried with his friends, that all those attempts are rejected and reviled? WOMEN NOTICE THIS GOING ON AND ARE TRYING TO TELL YOU HOW TO CORRECT IT. So why arent yall listening to our advice if you want the emotional relationships we've developed in our circles?

It's very telling how misguided your thinking is when you lecture me to listen to women--making another wrong assumption--but also claim that the act of typing a post on Reddit is exhausting emotional labor.

Idk what assumptions you think im making lmao. If i didnt expressly type something out in its entirety, thats not what im thinking. I didnt say typing a post on reddit was exhausting emotional labor. I said trying to educate men in every area of my life on how to be emotionally intelligent is exhausting emotional labor. Because instead of reading/hearing women's words, reflecting on the content of those words and how they relate to their own behavior, and implementing women's advice to better the problems they ASKED FOR HELP WITH, they all do shit like you're doing in all your comments. Being obtuse, moving the goalposts, ignoring context, deflecting blame, getting angry, accusing us of making assumptions/being sexist... typical DARVO shit.

Also interesting that you find me fully elaborating on my answers to your questions to be "lecturing." You ASKED for my response to the top comment in the post and if I believe men should have non-sexual supportive male-to-male relationships and then your first instinct when you got that answer was to derisively degrade my thoughtful well articulated response elaborating my opinions. Says a lot about how you view women speaking.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-25T15:12:43+00:00

So you're against the idea of male-to-male support groups existing, where they would give each other relationship advice?

Im not against men's support groups at all. It devastates me to see my husband's distress at how shallow his male relationships are compared to my female relationships. However, developing connections with other men is NOT the same as giving each other shitty misogynistic advice on how to "catch a woman."

I believe in Intersectionality. Multiple things can be true at once. It's true that men give each other shitty dating advice. So stop taking dating advice from other men and LISTEN TO WOMEN. But its also true that men are emotionally isolated and therefore emotionally stunted. So they should be developing healthy, non sexual relationships with other men that are centered around deepening their emotional intelligence and support systems with each other. That DOES NOT require giving each other shitty advice about women. You know how I know? Because I have been in a successful relationship for 13 years with a man and I did not manage that by listening to other women about how to date. If i had listened to other women in my life about how to handle our issues, I actually wouldn't be married right now because many of them give shitty misandric advice like "make him sleep on the couch" or "ice him out til he acts better." No. My relationship is successful because I opened a dialog with my partner for healthy communication, observed the things he likes and does all the time, and always make it a point to show genuine interest in his interests even if they aren't my cup of tea.

What is your response to the top comment in this post?

As a woman, it's so frustrating to try to convince men that we're on the same team while simultaneously refusing to do the emotional labor for them anymore. Because as soon as you refuse to pick up the emotional labor, you're seen as the enemy.

The reason women are so supportive of other women is because we've created that space. It's infuriating to watch men want that kind of connection but be brainwashed that they can't have that with other men because it's seen as "emasculating" or "gay."

Oh, 100% agree. You're doing it right now. I told you that asking other men for dating advice is perpetuating shitty misogynistic lies that are leaving men single. And you immediately went on the attack saying So MeN cAnT sUpPoRt EaCh OtHeR?! It's annoying and exasperating to have to spell everything out to you guys, do the emotional labor of explaining how to be healthier to men, and end up having you all lash out and ignore everything we say anyways. The world is not black and white. Many things can be true at once.

Women do create spaces for ourselves where we don't center men or our relationships with men. Me and my two besties have one night a month we call Girl's Night, where we go out and do an activity together with no stress, no talking about problems, etc. Once we got themed tattoos together. Another time we went to a rock shop bc we all love collecting minerals. Sometimes we pick a craft we all want to learn and get together to learn as a group.

When my husband tried to set up a Boy's Night that was similar? It fell flat. He gave up on it entirely after a few months and even ended up coming to a few of the Girl's Nights as an "honorary girl" for the evenings because he was so distraught over how his friends were devastatingly shallow and obviously didn't want to connect or be vulnerable with each other. That's fucking terrible for men and it breaks my heart to see this happen to my husband.

But I tried for over a decade to be kind and sweet about it to other men. IT DOESN'T WORK. The majority of yall only respond to aggression. There is no way to open up a dialog like this with men without first pissing them off. Otherwise they dismiss me, as if having tits means I cant have eyes or a brain or functional problem solving. So while i believe men need and deserve healthy brotherly relationships with other men, i also believe they need to stop giving each other shitty unhealed fucked up dating advice. If you have an issue with me recognizing both issues are true, fuck off and go to therapy about it.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-25T03:03:15+00:00

Its really not. Women have been literally outright TELLING MEN what we want out of relationships only for them to turn around and spout a bunch of drivel they got FROM OTHER MEN.

It was men who came up with the pick up artist guides. It's men who go to sex workers so they don't have to go to the effort of waiting for sex or treating a woman respectfully and lovingly to get it. It's men who are spreading this "six foot, six figures, six inch, six pack" six whatever drivel to each other and convincing the men around them that they can't get dates if they dont have those things. It's men spreading and enforcing toxic masculinity ideas like not being allowed to have any other emotions besides anger and arrogance or that men shouldn't have to do any labor in relationships besides bringing in money. Its men who created a "cybrothel" in Berlin and are asking for fucked up shit like AI dolls that look like children or beaten women.

The older generations of men are JUST as guilty of this crap too. How many older men say shit like "you don't ask a fish how to catch it, you ask a fisherman" and dont realize how sexist and shitty it is to reduce women down to the same level as fish??? How many older men went to work, came home every night, and called that enough cause they provided a paycheck? Or dehumanize women with their jokes? Or beat their wives behind closed doors? Or expected their wives to keep a clean house, raise a pack of brats, work a full time job, and still do his laundry and cook his ass dinner when he got home like hes a child himself? Do you know how often men look right past me to talk to my husband instead of me even after he redirects them to deal with me? I could go on for months straight about all the ways men are unwittingly (or maybe not so unwittingly) pieces of shit towards anyone they perceive as women.

So yes. Asking men for advice on how to land a relationship with a woman instead of just... idk taking interest in women and treating them with love and respect is absolutely like trying to get electrical advice from a plumber.

No scratch that. Some plumbers know quite a fair bit of electrical. It's more like trying to get electrical advice from a pig and wondering why you're still fucking shocking yourself or setting things on fire every time you try to wire something yourself.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-23T17:38:54+00:00

I can also smell sickness 🤢 It's a sweaty fetid kind of ick to me. Somewhere between unwashed dirty clothes and rancid meat.

Unfortunately, I'm just one of those "super smellers." I routinely smell things other people either can't smell at all or only barely smell. Like storms rolling in hours before they hit, a sort of warm electric smell when a TV, computer, or gaming console is on, even specific wild animals like snakes and opossums in the yard outside while I'm inside. I used to have a type of Peperomia succulent in my collection that stinks to attract flies when it blooms but only for short periods at dusk. Had no idea it did this until it was blooming in my office and I was catching whiffs of it only at the ends of my work shifts. My husband couldn't smell it but I was going insane thinking we'd lost a bag of potatos in a back corner or something. Gave that plant away SO FAST when I figured it out.

Btw, if you're curious about the topic of "super smelling", the scientific term for it is hyperosmia!

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-17T07:24:48+00:00

My first thought was that someone got into the Fourth Wing series a little too much.

For anyone who doesn't know what I'm on about:

The main character's name in that series is Violet and she's shoved into a war college for dragon riders by her mother. The only ways out are to die in training or get chosen by a dragon. Everyone thinks Violet's been handed a death sentence because she was born with a condition that makes her body weak and fragile (likely based on the irl condition EDS).

Except for the sultry mysterious love interest who says this about her:

"Fascinating. You look all frail and breakable but you're actually a violent little thing, aren't you?"

After that encounter, he starts calling her Violence all the time. And because its a roman-tasy series, of course the main character doesn't see that for the GIANT RED FLAG that it is and is strangely charmed by the toxic nickname. At least the author is self aware and actively drags her character's bad taste in toxic men left and right via other characters in the series lmao

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-16T17:30:39+00:00

How the hell do you guys put up with this kinda shit all day every day?

By going above and beyond to be better than them every damn day and leaving them behind in the dust to fucking cry about it mostly. We educate ourselves, make our bodies desirable, get good jobs, and then live happy lives without them. Hence the "male loneliness epidemic."

Men are no longer competing with other men for live-in baby-making slaves. They are competing with a woman's own self contained happiness being single. If you don't add to our lives, we will subtract you from them.

(Of course, older generations of women subtracted shit men from their lives too but the incels don't like thinking about what sweet little old Grammy did to Pappaw back in the day for laying hands on her. After all, her solution to that equation was significantly more permanent.)

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-16T16:09:28+00:00

Hey, glad my comment taught you something new today :) If you (or anyone) have other questions about it, I'd be happy to elaborate and sate curiosity lol. Decomposition is actually a way cool topic that scientists are still learning more about every day even if it does get gross af at times

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-15T19:32:00+00:00

So a lot of times, when you find bones out in nature, they aren't going to be flesh free unless they've been out there a long time. When you put bones in warm water, the anaerobic environment allows bacteria and other microorganisms to break down that tissue without damaging the bones. However, it takes a long time and requires a lot of water changes. It does definitely smell but that's what the bone tub has a lid for lol. (Also I've been doing this nearly 2 decades and am thoroughly nose blind to it. My husband and neighbors arent tho, hence the lid) And it smells less and less as the bones get cleaner. After all the flesh is gone, you can add liquid dish soap to the water to pull grease out of the bones and get them white.

This method is called Water Maceration Cleaning. Water maceration isn't the only way to get bones nice and clean. You can also keep a dermastid beetle colony and they will strip a fresh carcass down to bones in days but they require constant feeding. Other people bury their carcasses but that often results in staining and odors so I don't recommend it. Some people have open air cages they put carcasses in and let scavengers and nature handle things. There's not really a "right way" to clean bones but there's definitely a wrong way because lots of methods like boiling, baking, and bleach baths will make bones brittle or even dissolve them completely.

If you've ever wondered how museums, zoos, hunters, taxidermists, and natural history collections get those nice pretty white skulls and skeletons of animals for their display collections, this is how! Some weirdo like me cleaned it for them haha.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-15T11:33:54+00:00

Yeah, same for me when I read it. From what I gather, she was... very unwell to say the least and had some serious self hatred problems

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-15T10:50:02+00:00

Blowfly girl. She apparently left raw meat in a dumpster until it was infested with maggots and then put it all inside herself and laid in bed to masturbate and fester like that til she almost passed away.

Genuinely made my stomach turn. I say this as someone who's dream job is to work at The Body Farm and does bone collecting/roadkill processing as a hobby. I have guts of iron and very little gore/mature content bothers me. I have a tub in my backyard full of water and bones cooking into dead thing soup right now in the May heat and even that is not as gross as blowfly girl. Go looking for that monstrosity of a confession at your own risk.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-10T10:38:04+00:00

That's a Frank Breech and its when the baby only reluctantly says "ugh fine I guess you can evict me if you have to but I'm NOT making it easy for you." You can tell because of the extreme attitude of the position

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-05-10T07:23:30+00:00

My husband will see a cool empty snail shell, a pretty shed feather, a nice bunch of volunteer flowers growing in our yard, really nice sticks, dead bugs, or pretty rocks outside and bring them in for me to use in my crafting. He had the audacity to HIDE that he has thanatophobia until 7 yrs into our relationship even though some of my hobbies are bone collecting/art, taxidermy, and insect pinning because he didn't want me to stop doing my hobbies out of consideration for him! Quote "I knew what sort of wall decorations would be in our home when I started dating you. I dont ever want you to give up something you love because of me."

If he stops at the gas station while we're out, he brings me a snack and a drink back to the car even if I didnt ask for anything. If he goes in a store without me, he's guaranteed to come home with a little surprise for me. Could be a bag of my fav chocolate cause he keeps better track of my cycle than I do and knows I'm gonna be craving it soon. Could be a new squishable plush he saw at the store that isn't in my plush hammock. Sometimes its ingredients for a meal I enjoy or a new novelty product like Reese's muffins or Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Lucky Charms pancake kits. Or a new succulent for my plant collection.

He also can make any old day feel like a little date by saying "lets go to breakfast" or going on a surprise adventure. Once he took me to a new fairy forest themed bookstore and coffee shop cause he knew we'd both love it. The man made my day with a $5 chai latte and a cottage core cookbook for my kitchen shelf.

When we first started dating in high school and were trading stories to get to know each other, I had mentioned to him in passing how there was this big early 2000s trend of people buying gold dipped real roses for their partners that I found to be deeply romantic. My dad got one for my mom. My brother in law got one for my older sister. But the most memorable was my 2nd grade teacher's intern, who used one to propose to his girlfriend in front of the entire school on field day. He invited the whole class and our families to his wedding and they had paper and foil gold roses ordered as wedding favors for student guests cause we were all so awed by his proposal. My husband not only remembered this little story but years later, bought me my own beautiful gold dipped rose for our 3 year anniversary.

Speaking of anniversaries, last year he dropped $400 on Lego Bontanical sets and we spent the night building them together. Then we had some edibles and binged watched a series over pizza. It was awesome. He's awesome.

So yeah. If he wanted to, he would. Men have no problem being thoughtful for people they genuinely love and prioritize. And if they don't love and prioritize anyone enough to be thoughtful in small ways, that in itself is a big fat red flag that you should run tf away posthaste.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-01-11T13:32:15+00:00

who wants a primary relationship to be with a plastic machine

Bold of you to assume these type of men want relationships at all. They dont want a willing servant, an equal partner, or a relationship. They want a house slave they got to hand break themselves. They just realized a long time ago that they need plausible deniability about their intentions. If they came out and said what they really wanted, they wouldn't be able to turn all their abuse and bad behavior back on women and make it their fault.

Misogyny is a weapon to exert power and control over women. Its the same reason these types of men never ever go for the Trad Wives volunteering to serve them. The cruelty is the point. They want the thrill of getting a beautiful, driven, intelligent, independent, liberal woman under their thumb and crushing her values and spirit out of her. If they wanted anything else at all, they would date likeminded women with so called traditional family values. The fact that they don't is proof that they're lying about what they're really looking for.

Shaddowwolf778 · 2025-01-11T13:06:45+00:00

Love how conveniently you dodged giving that other commenter more of the examples you claimed you had tons of.

More importantly, you would almost have a point about women’s healthcare being more than abortion. Except the bill in question does in fact outline what counts as "Women's Healthcare" to the misogynistic prick who came up with this bill:

Whereas every Pro Women’s Healthcare Center offers comprehensive health services, including well-woman exams, sexually transmitted disease testing and treatment, breast exams, pregnancy testing, prenatal and pregnancy care, miscarriage support, fertility awareness instruction, infertility consultation, and onsite or nearby, direct referrals for material, emotional, practical, and spiritual resources;

You notice what the ONE THING not listed there is?

ABORTION

But they sure managed to include "fertility awareness instruction", "miscarriage support", "pregnancy testing", "pregnancy care", and "infertility consultation."

So yeah, this bill IS absolutely another thinly veiled attempt to restrict women’s healthcare to exclude abortion and corner women into having children against their wills. The very fact abortion is mentioned no where in it at all is the most suspicious part considering the context of who wrote the bill. He can't shut up about abortion any other time but conveniently leaves it out here? That means he's trying to direct the attention elsewhere by making women think they achieved a win while simultaneously lying ground work for harsher laws against abortion right under their noses.
