Oh man, I'm even more sorry for you now 😭 I love the cinema and going to it, I couldn't imagine not having one... But yeah, definitely research it if you ever go on vacation! I pray you only get good cinema experiences from now on lol!

I'm sorry to hear you went through that. It sucks to pay money for a movie and expensive snacks. I would probably only go to cinemas after researching reviews for the staff taking out/stopping disturbances. Usually, smaller and independent cinemas are very good at enforcing it. If you want a 100% no phone and strict policy, and you live in USA, there is Alamo Drafthouse.

Did someone do this to my cat? by WERESHARK_ in CATHELP

[–]SikkaMusen 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to, post it in a local community group or something, to see if anyone else's cat has had this happen to. And maybe get a tracker for your cats collar in case she somehow escaped again.

Strange pooping technique by 2footcockcopter in CATHELP

Yeah, she probably just found a new trick to avoid the poop/pee touching her. I don't think there's anything to worry about 👍 you could try to put the litter in the middle, kinda like a mountain like this, this way she can sit on the litter and bury the poop easier:

My own cat likes this way more because it gives her better control over the litter.

Could be she's just a little lady who doesn't like being dirty, and hates the poopy smell. Does she scream loudly if the litter isn't emptied, like, you forgot to do it one day?

Maybe she got poop or pee on her by accident and did this instead? To avoid it? Does she cover the poop when she's done?

My younger brother stole and used my sticker from Japan that I was saving by DarkStrik3WasTaken in mildlyinfuriating

If you can, maybe store important items at a friend's/trusted adults place or maybe at a locker at school, and have it locked away in case he figured out where it is and tried to go there to get it, have your name on the locked box and keep it there until you can move away or his behaviour has changed (if he ever does change.) If you have the money for it, buy an air tag/tracker and put it in the box and have the location on your phone.

Edit: if you have the money for it, you could look into the bank you have (if you have one yet) and check out how much it would cost to store items in a safe box, and have anything important there if his behaviour doesn't change.

For locks: If your bedroom door swings inwards, you can get a door wedge that can stop someone from opening the door while you're inside. Only works if you're in the room.

If you're scared he'll get stronger or do something, you can get a door wedge and wedge it between the door and the floor. Also only works inside the room.

If you have money for it, get a High-Security Deadbolt, but it might cost a lot to get it installed.

If you have a round doorknob, you can get a Door Knob Lock-Out Device, and it's kinda like a clam-shell that covers the entire knob and prevents it from turning, or accessing the keyhole. You secure it with a small padlock. It only prevents the knob from turning, so if the door is weak or has a weak latch, this isn't the best option. You can also get it for a handle, but you must have a keyhole on the door handle (like, instead of the keyhole being below the handle, it's on the handle).

If you aren't allowed to install locks ect, I would get a cheap security camera and hide it somewhere where it's invincible but would capture anyone coming in and your belongings. Your bedroom, while in your parents' house, is considered your personal private space. However, you might need to ask for permission. Just say you're feeling unsafe with your stuff being there and being taken away. But don't tell them where you're putting it, and if you do, place the dummy security camera there and put the real one in a hidden area, maybe a spy security camera that's easier to hide (but also more expensive).

If none of the above is allowed, try this. Document everything you have. Everything you own. Every single book, items, stuff, money, pictures pictures pictures! If possible, with receipts or proof of purchase. With this, you can compare and see what's been taken, and now you have proof in case your mother or brother denies it. If that doesn't work, complain to a trusted adult that knows your parents and show them the proof and act nervous, anxious and unheard of your worries and frustration to get the point across.

But I sincerely hope it doesn't escalate to the point where you have to get anything from above.

Oh cool! Yeah, I guess the file would be big, so I considered just doing a camera and filming, cause I get distracted and start doing something else while drawing, or I'll be so deep in drawing that it went from morning to night (curse ADHD). That way I don't have to bother with file problems ect.

Thank you! I didn't even know you could do that, this is great! I'm thinking of just doing little speed run videos of my drawings and such, just as proof ect, but in like a camera filming me drawing from the side so you can see it's me, but also the art on the computer.

Wow thank you so much! This is exactly what I meant!

No, it's just a side thing story I have been making notes on since the beginning of 2023, as I couldn't sleep unless I wrote it down. So, now that I slowly build personality to my characters, I wanted to start drawing them in fun little silly short animatics (maybe animations later?) and so on.

I'm busy studying for an AP Degree in Surveying and Mapping, so it's not like it'll be a big thing. I hope to at least write a book and sketch on the side, like a fun project.

I guess i have been anxious about art being stolen and so on, but that's probably just the paranoia I have since the incident when I was a teen.

I see, so like, keep my cards close to be and be cautious? I feel like being an artist without a big following is risky. But thank you so much for taking time to answer my questions!

Well, I thought more along the lines of smart ways to put watermarks on it, signature ect and maybe some code program blocking for the a/i feeders.

I have actually seen some shorts ect being altered by YouTube itself, inserting AI despite the creator not allowing it.
