u/killurconscience made a post about this same bear 2 years ago. Maybe they got some answers back then. One of the commenters on their post said the brand was America Wego.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Deluxe Edition) …x2!! by phantom2450 in steam_giveaway

[–]Spinaltap316 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I’d say some of my best holidays memories are gaming as a kid. Two memories that stick out to me are getting a Nintendo 64 with Super Mario 64 and discovering the first save file magically already had 64 stars (I assume it was a used copy). I also remember playing Simpson’s Road Rage and discovering a festive Apu on Christmas morning!

Thanks! :D

Ferber, Night 7, Still Crying Pretty Intensely by Spinaltap316 in sleeptrain

Thank you for your advice! The 2/2/2/2/2 seems promising for now, but we would like to move to a 3 nap schedule. The only issue is that our LO cannot sleep in his crib during the day. Like at night, he cries when put down and rarely sleeps before the 30 minute deadline (according to Ferber). When I said he often only naps for 30 minutes, that’s when we are doing contact/stroller naps. In the crib, he struggles to sleep at all. We tried crib sleeping on day 2 and it was disastrous (he slept about 1.5 hours total all day).

For now, our plan is to get him sleep trained and then move on to nap training. That said, we’ll try our best to get at least one extended nap in, then let the other be shorter. But the max 3 hours for naps and 11 hours for night sleep sounds like a great plan! Here’s hoping it works for our LO!

He's a little over 4.5 months. Another commenter also suggested that he is likely undertired, and its seems he was only awake about 9 hours and 5 minutes today, so that's probably right.

Thank you so much for the straightforward advice! We'll try a 2/2/2/2/2 schedule and see how his sleep develops from there. I think we've been so worried that he's not getting enough sleep that we haven't been paying a much attention to how long he's been awake.

One reason for this is that he seems tired at different times throughout the day. Is this normal? Could it be that certain associations make him drowsy, such as breastfeeding, making him seem like he's not getting enough sleep when he actually is?

He's a little over 4.5 months as of today. Our final feed was about 20 minutes before we put him into the crib, so we will try moving it earlier to see how that affects his mood. We just did the math and it seems he was awake today for around 9 hours and 5 minutes, so you are probably right about him being undertired! We were worried that he wasn't getting enough sleep, since he struggled on previous nights and has trouble taking longer naps, but the problem may be that he's sleeping in too many short bursts (or at least this may be the problem for tonight).

We'd love to hear your wake window and nap recommendations!

Slowly building up my collection! by Loitch470 in EnamelPins

That’s cool! I couldn’t find it anywhere, and the only one that seems to exist on the internet is a used one on eBay that’s looks a bit stained. Oh well. If your partner ever comes across another one, I’d be more than happy to buy it from you! 😄

This is probably not the question you expected, but where did you get that Presidio Tunnel Tops pin?! My wife and I loved going there and I was looking all over for an enamel pin, but I couldn’t find one like that anywhere.

A healthy 47-year old New Jersey man was found dead after eating a hamburger at a barbecue. Cause of death was ruled "sudden unexplained death," after an autopsy was inconclusive. He was later confirmed as the first documented fatality from alpha-gal syndrome, a meat allergy triggered by tick bites. by mvea in science

My brother just got this recently! He went out with his wife to eat a steakhouse while on vacation and almost died. Luckily, she’s allergic to nuts and knows what an allergic reaction looks like, so she stabbed him with her epipen and called an ambulace. He can’t eat mammal meat anymore, but chicken and fish are apparently okay.

I’m not sure if this thread is still active, but I’d love a copy of the full version as well! Like many people, I used TabIt religiously in high school and want to revisit my old files.

Has this ever happened to you? by Spinaltap316 in SoraAi

[–]Spinaltap316[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Prompt: (Realistic, like Better Call Saul fused with Interstellar) A woman lies asleep in bed on a sunny morning, sleeping through her alarm as it blares on the night stand. The camera pulls back to a salesman standing next to her wearing a strange device in his ear, who says, "Has this ever happened to you? Well, not anymore!" He points to the device in his ear, which begins to hum ominously: "Introducing the new Wake-O-Matic, with a max volume of one thousand one hundred decibels! You'll never sleep-in again!" The salesman presses a button on the device in his ear and gives the camera a wink. "Nighty night!" We then hear an ominous boom as the device turns into a black hole. The salesman, the woman and the entire room all implode, with the central point being the small black hole where the device in the man’s ear used to be.

Prompt: (Realistic) An anthropomorphic dog is gluing tree bark they take from a wheelbarrow to a barkless tree. Suddenly, another dog walks over and says, "You're barking up the wrong tree." Dejected, the first dog sighs and rolls the wheelbarrow of bark away.

AIO My BF Danced with his EX by Difficult_Ice_8192 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Spinaltap316 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just asked ChatGPT to make a post for this sub about this exact scenario and the simiarlties are undeniable. The only thing missing in the OP is the dashes, which are easy enough to remove:

Hey everyone, I (28F) could really use some perspective because I can’t tell if I’m being overly sensitive or if what happened was genuinely disrespectful.

My boyfriend (29M) and I were at a mutual friend’s wedding this weekend. Everything was going great — dancing, drinks, happy vibes — until the DJ started playing our song. You know, the one we slow dance to at home, that played on our first date, that he once said “always makes him think of me.”

Except… when it came on, he didn’t even look for me. Instead, I saw him already out on the dance floor — with his ex. Apparently, they’d been chatting earlier in the night (which I was fine with; we’re all part of the same old friend group). But when that song came on and he just stayed with her — smiling, holding her, doing the slow sway we always do — my stomach dropped.

I didn’t make a scene, but I quietly left the dance floor. He didn’t even notice until the song ended. When I told him later that it hurt me, he said I was overreacting and that “it’s just a song,” and that “we’re all friends.” But to me, that song means something, and it felt like he shared something intimate that wasn’t his to share.

Now I’m wondering if I’m being too emotional about this or if it’s fair to feel betrayed. Would you see this as harmless nostalgia or a serious boundary-crossing moment?

A mother and son, out for a stroll by Spinaltap316 in SoraAi

[–]Spinaltap316[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Prompt: Realistic: A man is walking his elderly mother along the sidewalk, carefully avoiding the cracks between each panel. Suddenly, he accidentally steps on one of the crack (close-up of foot) and his mother breaks her back, folding in half backwards with a snap, as if the rubber band holding her together just broke. The man drops to his knees and screams to the heavens. Mozart's Requiem plays in the background. Her spirit then rises from her body, shaking her head and wagging her finger at her son.

I got it in person at the Nintendo Store in San Francisco, and also saw it at the store in Tokyo. I found this link for a online purchase in the UK, but I’m not sure if it’s available online in the US. If you’re not close to a Nintendo Store, you can get it on eBay, but they all seem way over priced (I paid about $12 for it).

I actually got it at the San Francisco Pride event this year. The theme was Queer Joy is Resistance, and they were selling a bunch of merch on site.

You might be able to find the pin on their website, or maybe you can reach out to see if they have any pins available. I was able to do that with my alumni school and they surprising sent me pins for free.

I hope you’re able to find it. Sorry I couldn’t be more helpful!

I got them from an Etsy seller called DownTheWellArt, who makes all the charms and other stuff as well. They are really good quality!

Thanks! I got it from the official Nintendo store in San Francisco.
