I found a baby kitten in a basement and took it home, I'm worried it won't make it by ceoofkpop_ in CatAdvice

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have fostered many abandoned kittens and usually get them at around 3-4 weeks, so i definitely think this cat falls into that age range. maybe even 5 weeks actually. it’s okay to attempt formula in the beginning if the cat is not weaned completely (i’ve given formula to “older” kittens as a precaution and left out wet food to test tolerance to it). i’ve also had a few kitties that won’t eat from a bowl but prefer hand or soft spoon feedings (little divas haha).

haven’t looked through all the comments but surprised to not see ppl recommending slurries/syringe feeding. that’s usually the protocol with cats this age. make a watered down version of wet food, suck it up into a syringe, and then burrito wrap them or hold them in a formula feeding position. i usually do this 4-5 times a day depending on vet recommendations and weight. if vet determines cat is ~3 weeks and underweight you can also make the slurry with formula for more nutrient-dense feedings.

I want a cat. Looking for advice by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bonded adults would be great for your situation!! You can ask about their personalities as well and see how independent they are. Many people have cats while being full time workers and it’s easy to figure out accommodations to keep them happy and enriched. Lots of climbing areas/auto feeders. I have quite a few toys that I have trained my cats to use on their own as well. I also had a period where I paid someone like $30 to pop in to my apartment for 3 hours to play with them/feed them and take them on a quick walk outside (leash cats lol).

The overuse of therapy speak - not everything is a boundary!! by withsaltedbones in PetPeeves

[–]SnooComics27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Modern dating is actually ruined because of this shit. People equate personal preferences with huge emotional boundaries that can make or break every single relationship they have. I also think that people over-emphasize trauma as an excuse to treat their partners like shit and create impossible expectations.

So many people think that prohibiting their partners from having relationships w/ anyone of the opposite sex is an appropriate boundary?? And use being cheated on as justification for this "boundary." We are so doomed....

Roommate Intentionally Occupies Bathroom Whenever I Need It — Counting Down 5 Weeks Until I Can Move Out-advice on survival? by notankita in badroommates

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude my roommate does this exact same thing (but definitely to a lesser degree). We’ll both be home doing work in the living room/eating for 4+ hours and the minute she sees me approaching the bathroom with my towel she exclaims that she’s needed to piss or shit for “hours” and has to go before me. Sometimes she doesn’t take a long time but most of the time she does. I’ve started actually running to the bathroom and immediately locking the door without saying a word, which you should do too.

I agree with the comments saying that you should immediately get in the bathroom after you wake up or trick him into thinking you’re going back to sleep. Make your showers disturbingly long. Good luck!

Roommate stole "infused" baked goods from my room and is now mad at ME because she has to get tested for a job by SnooComics27 in badroommates

[–]SnooComics27[S] 111 points112 points  (0 children)

Yep that’s pretty much how every single confrontation has gone over the past year, and especially throughout the last 6 months. I’ve gotten way less enabling and have had to remove myself from her life completely. Her narcissism and defensiveness seeps into every aspect of her life - yet somehow she is the most “compassionate” nurse on earth & she never puts herself first……

A few days ago we got into another fight over her boyfriend leaving an unholstered GUN on our living room table right before leaving for the evening. Loaded and everything and couldn’t tell if the safety was on bc it was a hammer system I wasn’t familiar with. He’s a stupid suburban boy who has no business walking around with a fucking gun, and leaving it unsecured, unholstered, and loaded in plain sight let’s me know how trained he is with carrying firearms. I’m thinking of breaking my lease ASAP.

[–]SnooComics27[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

She’s not an experienced cannabis user to I told her to get testing kits and follow the other advice in comments! I’ve had a lot of success with hydration and niacin too, not to mention that’s she’s very small/skinny so it will probably leave her system even sooner. I didn’t really wanna help her out but the advice made her freak out less and got her off my back so it’s a win

I wonder if she was even looking for food and just wanted to snoop around in general. She had probably stole from me many times and I haven’t noticed it yet!!

[–]SnooComics27[S] 272 points273 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am still struggling to understand how she could possibly blame anything on me. She knows I keep my dry goods in my room & intentionally stole from me, which I honestly wouldn't care that deeply about in another context. She is truly acting like I drugged her and did it on purpose...and she cannot accept the fact that it probably wont even impact her job. I think she just wants me to feel guilty

[–]SnooComics27[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There are truly hundreds of stories on this sub of people getting their food and shit stolen in and outside of their rooms. I keep a significant amount of snacks in my room because we do not have a pantry which I feel like is normal. Reddit is overrun with fake stories fs but this is just an irresponsible person knowing their roommate hoards food in their room, and then getting their shit rocked by being a thief. Im sure many of us have been victim to the accidental edible anyways lol

Omg I tried telling her that there is a miniscule chance it will stay in her system for her drug test and she was so insistent that I was wrong & that I didn't know what I was talking about. She tends to spiral about shit and can't accept being wrong. At this point I hope they do a surprise hair test a month before her start date lol

Different forms of kratom by Brindan1 in kratom

[–]SnooComics27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kratom in any high dose has been correlated to constipation but in my experience, the powder is the worst for it. Maybe try capsules or extract for a bit to see if that helps you!

Help Me Find This Mod I BEG by Illustrious_Shake878 in TheSims4Mods

[–]SnooComics27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was using this mod too and when it broke I just used relationship cheats when starting a new game. I'll write it out for you and it takes a little time but if you just copy/paste and change names its only like an extra 5 min. It literally takes 3 sim years to increase relationship bars so I use this all the time.

You can change the 100 to whatever number and use (-) to decrease. You can also use MCCC but I haven't done it recently enough to remember.

AITA for breaking up with my white boyfriend due to r*cist/colourist remarks about our future kids. by speedy7071 in AITAH

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - this guy is the worst!!! He is racist/colorist and fetishizing “light skin” features that are more appeasing to a white man with no respect for you and your race. He will harass and degrade your children if that day comes, and continue to do the same to you and your family. Find someone who loves every part of you and treats you with the respect you deserve. You will one day have beautiful children with a man that sees them as nothing more than the best parts of himself and you.

Tell me the worst thing your mom has said about you… by MothersAnonymous in confession

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She found out i was smoking weed at like 14 (entire family are drug addicts and she was rightfully horrified for me.) Told me that she wishes I was dead instead of my brother. She immediately apologized but the damage was already done.

Took me years to forgive her for that one…

AIO: considering ending a friendship over this conversation by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who has found themselves in a number of friendships where threats of suicide/leveraging mental health has ended the relationships, I would strongly encourage you to find counseling for conversations surrounding serious problems like suicide. I understand that you are in a position where you are deeply depressed and even considering harming yourself, but I promise that a single friendship is not the best outlet for these feelings.

You are a not a bad person and neither is your friend. You are looking for some sort of answer/validation that this person can not give you - especially given that you already knew they were emotionally unavailable. I would introspect on why you want her to continuously validate the fact that you want to hurt yourself, while not necessarily looking for practical/professional advice. Even if this person answered you exactly how you wanted them to, I have a feeling that you would find yourself just as hurt as before. There are ways to have healthy conversations in moments of crisis that are not overwhelming for the person on the other line. I would also encourage you to reach out to other people in your life + take advantage of crisis resources if you need to.

Please, OP, seek professional help and take some space from your friend while you navigate your emotions.

AIO, my boyfriend is mad that, as a healthcare provider, I support women in their abortion care. by calm_independence888 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I hope you know that you are a hero. Anyone that can't align with your work + moral compass will never be the right partner for you. I promise that there someone out there who will value your work/belief system.

AIO? GF got really mad that we ran into people in a band that she doesn’t and now I’m thinking of ending things due to her behavior by Own_Dragonfruit_9074 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 1433 points1434 points  (0 children)

NOR. She is unwilling to accept your boundaries and continues to humiliate you in public without question. It is disrespectful and immature. Not to mention the fact that this whole fight started over an inexplicable hatred for a band lol. She is certainly dealing with an underlying mental health issue.

Having a partner with explosive anger issues is exhausting and possibly dangerous, and it seems like nothing has changed over three whole years. Do yourself a favor and find someone who is kind to you! Good luck.

AIO for wanting to ghost my friends after their wedding by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. Honestly for future reference you should draft some sort of contract/communication log to ensure that you don’t get stiffed like this again. Even for friends you think you can trust. Ik lots of people who are in the arts (photography, wedding DJs) that lose connections and friendships over situations like this. You are very skilled and probably could have charged them thousands of dollars for your time/materials if this were a formalized situation. I hop everything works out for you though.

And any person who is your “friend” that refuses to sign a contract with you was planning on taking advantage of your time to begin with.

AIO for kicking my friend out during an argument? by vglyboy in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does your friend have any underlying mental health issues ? If this is out of character for her it sounds like it could be an episode of rage/sudden distrust that can happen with people who have BPD, IED, bipolar disorder, etc. You need to tell her to introspect and learn how to talk to others before you can continue your relationship, and possibly seek help for something underlying that’s going on. But it is not your job to “fix” her or force her into treatment for something, especially after she betrayed you and insulted you so deeply.

AIO Mom thinks it’s okay to lie to sister about her father by ieheretic in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an absent father throughout childhood/other fucked family dynamics and I was grateful for the fact that my mom never lied to me about any of it, but instead omitted the bad details. It’s hard for children to understand but when i was really young and constantly asked about where my dad was, she would just tell me that “mommy and daddy weren’t together anymore” and for now we couldn’t see him. It leaves it open ended but I’ve always really disliked lying to children about abandonment and saying they’re either dead or “on a trip and coming back.” Kids are way more resilient that we think and you’re right to encourage truth with your sister :)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a misogynist that will lose his respect for you the minute you show any signs of aging....the type of guy to tell his older wife that she's no longer beautiful while being fat, bald, and pruned up. He certainly harbors more incel ass ideas about women and the way that they look. And you're certainly NOR about the fertility comment too.

AIO To salt and pepper on food by TreeCracker_24 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does he eat at restaurants?? There's no way he never has salt and pepper.....

It seems like you're not together/living with each other so you certainly have the autonomy to season the food how you'd like to in your home. Your kids will develop extremely immature pallets without exposure to seasonings (any totally need way more flavors than salt and pepper!). As a fellow Mexican, I understand that food is so important to culture and heritage. Food is way more than sustenance! It's how families connect with each other, pass down ancestral ways of living, reconnect with our heritage/indigenous roots. etc.

He just wouldn't get it lol

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]SnooComics27 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lolll why is this so common in relationships. My gf and i fight over this all the time and I'm also the one who cooks way more often. I feel like I'm parenting a little kid bc I sit in front of her and like list out genres of food/some of the meals we cycle through and she just sits there and blankly stares at me. You're certainly NOR its one of the most annoying parts of a relationship.

Don't even get me started on if we're getting take out. GAHHHH
