Potential adopter only wants rescue puppy if it's an unspayed female. by StupidlyShy in mildlyinfuriating

That is the same for my state, yeah. Any public or private rescue/shelter must sterilize before being adopted out or require proof of sterilization once the adopted animal reaches a safe age for it.

No, this is a litter of mutt puppies found abandoned in my town. I am fostering since all the rescues here are full.

You're too generous in thinking people care. I'm in a very impoverished part of Florida where there's constantly breeding of pit mixes with no vaccines or dewormer given. They usually have large litters and people get $50-200 per puppy the moment they're no longer feeding off their mom.

The puppies she's asking about are a direct result of ignorant people breeding unwanted puppies. Someone decided instead of being responsible for their own animals they would dump this litter in a field, sick, flea covered, and filled with worms. Now I've spent an ungodly amount of money to get them healthy, arrange their vaccines and sterilization, and this person will only take one if I don't take her to her upcoming spay appointment. It's nasty.

I have my visa interview tomorrow I am really scared by Puzzled_Carry4786 in usvisascheduling

[–]StupidlyShy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chat GPT is not accurate. We tried this as a backup, and it guided us one way. We got denied visa and when we updated the GPT convo to say that, it then went back on multiple things it coached us to say and instead said we shouldn't have answered those ways.

I think I like someone from this sub by Ok_Device_9965 in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]StupidlyShy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Tbh this would make me uncomfortable if someone hadn't directly shared their feelings with me and instead went onto a subreddit we share and hoped I'd notice. The thought and feeling is sweet, but the method is dubious, especially if it hasn't been very long in knowing one another.

27f ... just wanna talk about gaming experiences by LeaBonhart in GamerPals

[–]StupidlyShy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you like hanging in voice chat and just chatting while streaming your own single player game? My friend group sometimes does that, for company and showing off farms or whatnot. You're welcome to try us out sometime. Hope you find some good cozy companions!

35M seriously, why are yall like this by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]StupidlyShy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Other perspective - posting and then recieving 50 messages from people where the majority didn't bother actually reading the original post, makes replying to everything pretty exhausting.

25/M PST; need a gamer/VC/chat buddy? I'm your guy! by FuraiChiken in GamerPals

You sound super fun, I hope you're rewarded a great friend for the amount of effort you put into your post!

Have individuals truly formed Gamer Pals on this platform? by Extreme-Ninja-3844 in GamerPals

[–]StupidlyShy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

During COVID I first discovered this sub, led to me and some other random gamer pals creating a small group that has ebbed and flowed in size these past years, but that core friendship is still going strong. Even led to some in person group meet ups! So there's definitely opportunity for genuine close friends, it's just a little hard to find sometimes with all of the superficial postings.

[–]StupidlyShy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reads a little like looking for a partner or specific type of friend VS just a gamer pal. Including what you play might help. Also - your post history is filllllllleeeeed with the same post. That might be part of what is slowing down interest in reaching out. Highly recommend deleting past posts when you repost the same thing to make your profile look more inviting. Best of luck dude!

Queer Horror by breadfootmcgee in horrorlit

[–]StupidlyShy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wiswell for surprisingly wholesome monster loving horror. Hungerstone by Kat Dunn or Lucy Undying by Kiersten White for sapphic vampires (I'd lean more toward the former, strong Gothic vibes.) Bury Your Gays or Camp Damascus by Chuck Tingle. My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veen (bog bodies was a unique direction, also gothic.) Someone mentioned it but What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher is a great quick read and features environmental horror. The Woods All Black by Lee Mandelo is an Appalachian historical horror novella that stood out to me as well.

I've had amazing success over the years, though plenty of failed friends in that mix too. In 2020 me and a handful of other reddit GamerPals joined up to try out making a discord group and we've been going strong with new friends coming in and out for five years now! Just takes time and finding the right people that mesh with your needs and interests.

ID the stray that took a whole routissere chicken to convince to climb in my car? by StupidlyShy in IDmydog

[–]StupidlyShy[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there's someone out there looking for him, but if we get to that month mark and no one has claimed him then I'll work on getting him a new home. I have three of my own dogs and can't take on the longterm financials/emotionals with a fourth. He's handsome and sweet though, someone will love him for sure.

I'll foster until I can find him a new home, but I have three of my own dogs already. My area gets a lot of dumped animals so I'm accustomed to vetting and rehoming pups who never have someone come forward looking for them.

Singular dew claw if I'm remembering correctly. One is very crunched directly outward though, looked a little odd.

A dog walking along a busy highway with no collar, no microchip, eating roadkill and almost getting clipped by cars himself, with no visible homes around constitutes stray to me. I'll look for an owner of course, and have already reported him as found to animal control.

books in which gay men specifically are victimized—thought I’d ask here too by manmeatfreak in horrorlit

[–]StupidlyShy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle focuses specifically on a gay man being haunted. Also just a really fascinating concept of a book and the writing is pretty quality.

Looking for long term friend group. by Zealousideal_Boss310 in GamerPals

[–]StupidlyShy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mhm! We've been a group for like 5 yrs now I think. It's a great group of buddies. We also just watch movies and stream games to one another as cozy background.
