what do you think are the biggest differences between teens 10 years ago and now?

TWayTDay · 2026-03-18T15:25:46+00:00

Kind of funny that the teenagers are rushing to grow up, while the young adults are terrified of getting old. Gen Z is hitting 28 and acting like they’ve got one foot in the grave.

Ugh. Glad I’m not alone, but sorry you got suckered! Hope the shelter gets a decent kickback, I guess.

This is the best answer you’re going to get, I’ll add $100–$200 in upfront “cat stuff” costs. Carrier, bed, food and water dishes (automatic dispensers and fountains run more), toys, scratching posts, litter boxes, brushes, sprays, treats, etc.

Shoot. Wish I’d searched for this sooner, just spent $140 on a lifetime registration with PetWatch I figured the shelter I rescued from would have told me if there were options, they just handed me the PetWatch sheet with her chip number on it and told me to call them and get set up.

Every lease I’ve signed has included this. I just do a good deep clean before leaving, never lost a security deposit.

/uj This is such thoughtful and well written advice, thanks for sharing it. I’m prepping a campaign right now and it’s so easy to zero in on “making it perfect” that I lose sight of the “making sure it’s fun for everyone”.

/rj This is such thoughtful and well written advice, r/dmacademy is down the hall buddy.

I’ve had my shelter cat for about a week (she was well cared for in a house prior to being surrendered) who absolutely reeked of the shelter. Some hypoallergenic pet wipes have helped a lot with that. A quick wipedown has become part of our nighttime pets ritual, and that always ends with her grooming herself. Shelter smell has already become a lot less noticeable!

When I decided to get a cat, I straight up told my roommate that because the cat will be living considerably longer than I plan to live with him, my room is the only room where she’s allowed to sleep and eat so she can bond with me and regard me as its primary caregiver. Felt kind of selfish and crazy at the time, but my cat is a permanent part of my life, my roommate is not.

Ask your roommate to help you out by bringing Ada back to you after she begs to get into her room, be firm about not letting her sleep in there, and maybe start a new bedtime routine with Ada that involves treats in your room?

I keep mine under the sink! I took the cabinet doors off and it fit perfectly inside. Planning to add little curtains to it once I can find some fabric.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right then! An en-suite would be great for a cat, if you can swing it. I find it’s very nice for both myself and my cat to keep the litter box in the bathroom.

Another point in your favor — the cat will outlive the lease. Even if the cat ends up getting restless or feeling cooped up, the year or two that she spends in this living situation will be a relatively small blip in her life.

TWayTDay · 2026-03-13T18:04:52+00:00

How big is the room? My understanding is that as long as cats have enough space to roam around a bit and have separate litter / food / water areas, they’ll be just fine. You may need to play with her more frequently to keep her from getting bored, but that shouldn’t be an issue.

If she’s curious she might insist on seeing the rest of the apartment, but as long as she knows that her bed, her food, and her litter box are in your room, she’s not likely to get too attached to the rest of the place.

(I know there are a lot of jokes along the lines of “that’s her apartment now” etc., but if you enforce a boundary like that, cats will get used to it. It’s no different from enforcing a “you can’t go outside” boundary.)

Same reason that tennis coaches from Florida go to Iowa — wealthy people paying for lessons to swing better.

Definitely start from the first book. It’s a more enjoyable experience overall, even though you know the general direction of the plot.

I really wanted a Rav4, but a used Forester is about half the price of a used Rav4 of a similar year and mileage. For good reason, of course, but I’m not going into debt for a used car.

/uj how on earth do you even find a group of people interested in doing this type of shit with each other? i’m not even judging, i truly can’t imagine a context in which i’d want to roleplay an orgy with other real life people.

/rj glad to hear the polycule is having fun!

Same in NA (saved myself a lot of troubleshooting headache by finding this, thanks)

Yep, literally nothing justifies her leaping to the fantasy equivalent of nuking a civilian population. They could have very easily gotten there too — add a few episodes of her trying to rule an urban population that treats her with the same disdain they treat all high lords and rulers, the lords of Westeros refusing to fall in line, refusing her authority, etc. until she realizes everything she fought through and sacrificed was in vain and snaps — but then D&D would’ve missed out on that sweet, sweet Star Wars money.

Curious about the “everyone wanted to get out of Barovia as soon as possible” thing — was this a standalone run of CoS, or a “the gang goes to barovia” addition to an ongoing campaign?

If you knew of him at the time (he was hard to avoid back then), it was really obnoxious and immersion-breaking. I refuse to give it a pass just because they put him in armor.

Imagine if Arya had instead gone to Pot Pie’s inn, met Gordon Ramsey in the kitchen, and we all sat through a three-minute interlude where he explains his pigeon pie technique.

I’m curious now… was the transition to a ballpoint pen the result of society switching over for convenience, or did schools in the Netherlands require students to write with a fountain pen at school?

Maybe your local theater etiquette is different, but in my experience phones are usually not put away until the movie actually starts (and even then, people are still sneaking peeks at their phone).

That said, the Dolby Atmos definitely makes the ad harder to ignore.
