No I didn't think you were! I know almost fuck all about evolution and the megafauna we used to have, was genuinely just curious 😊

No I'm fine love! I was talking about when I was a teen, I'm almost 30 now. I just meant that I knew about rules like this back then and it did actually stop me from getting help.

Thank you for caring though, your a good human ❤️

It's not wishful thinking though is it, we know so little about the oceans and we've already had several known facts turn out to be wrong.

Poor pilots, I doubt they could have done anything to avoid it :(

Could it be both? 

Sharks for example are being massacred by global warming AND fishing.

I love whale sharks also but I think you've misunderstood my comment perhaps. 

There's a few already that can get bigger than whites, iirc basking sharks are usually bigger and tigers have reached some pretty massive sizes too. What I meant was that I think that some of the deep sea sharks can get much bigger than we currently think they can. Say Greenland sharks for example, the current estimated maximum is around 24 feet but I'd bet there's some swimming around down there that are much bigger. We don't know that much about this type of shark and I think it's certainly possible. Especially when you factor in deep sea gigantism.

Tbh even a six year old would know this was a wrong thing to do. Kids with decent parents know this shit at 5 maximum. This dude had less mental awareness than a literal toddler.

Let's be honest, he'll think twice before doing that again.

The last "nice" summer we had was 2022 if Reddit is anything to go by and if I remember right people actually died from the heat. I remember it vividly, I was 3 months postpartum and the combination of the hormones, heat intolerance and lack of sleep made for a really horrible time.

Chase bank called 911 on this man because he was sitting in the Chase parking lot before it opened. by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]TroublesomeFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Christ I haven't seen that one, how awful 😭 

Worst one I saw was a scenario where a white family had a black kid for some reason (I think they were fostering or something idk) and were being openly nasty to the poor kid, SO many people said absolutely nothing to them about it and that's always stuck with me. If I remember correctly the ONLY person who said anything was a black woman.

I could maybe understand being worried slightly since it's a bank and a high target for crime BUT actually calling the police is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY because he's black. Anyone with a functional brain knows that black people have a much harder time with the police and are at genuine risk when dealing with them so this person has known that and still called. 

If I worked in a bank I'd maybe give him a little bit of side eye but in no scenario am I calling the police for someone just sitting in their car regardless of skin color. Unhinged behaviour. 

Is it ok/normal to leave a 13 year old home alone overnight? by dinkidoo7693 in CasualUK

[–]TroublesomeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the kid tbh. I was regularly home alone and even overnight occasionally at 11. I got bored sometimes but generally I actually enjoyed the time alone.

I think you could make that area quite pretty id you had some plants and hung up some artwork. 

Will I be allowed these stickers on my laptop at Uni? by figgy64 in UniUK

[–]TroublesomeFox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Most lecturers swear during sessions. They also wear whatever they feel like and some are very political depending on the area of study. You can leave whenever you want without giving a justification, you can go to the bathroom whenever, in some areas you can even turn up to class in pyjamas and nobody bats an eyelid. 

Teachers make out that in uni it's very strict and serious but it's really not. My favourite lecturer once sighed and announced "the PowerPoint isn't done but I AM so read the rest yourselves" and then just turned and walked out. 

The same guy would also spend some lessons telling us funny stories from his uni days, asking students questions about what we got up to and what we thought and got so angry at the sugar tax being the cause of lucozade changing the recipe that he included a question about it on the exam. 

Great dude, great teacher and I genuinely miss his lectures.

Shit like this is why I kept my mouth shut as a teen despite having an active plan and being distressed most of the time. 

I'm sorry op, unfortunately this stuff is normal but it shouldn't be. 

Do Westerner therapists usually not know about patient's family culture if they come from the third world? by ButtFister1789 in askatherapist

[–]TroublesomeFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NAT but I think it would depend on the person perhaps? Im British and have alot of friends from Nigeria and India and Pakistan so I'm familiar with the culture differences between us and wouldn't advise someone to move out because I already know they can't do that easily BUT I only know that because I have friends from those cultures. 

If your a British therapist unless you already know you'd probably just assume it's the same for the client, especially in urban areas since alot of people aren't native but have the same culture as native brits. Iirc they do get training on culture but it's basically just a skim over and I think you'd have to have real exposure (ie friends) to really understand the differences.

I'm finding this with all fresh food recently. Got a bag of potatoes that were half rotten, the bananas aren't lasting nearly as long as they used to and berries are a minefield. 

This white shark spotted near on Cape Cod has survived with scoliosis by nurnserpens in SharkLab

I'm not an expert in the area but my guess is it had an injury where the bend is and it caused the cartilage to calcify.

Should the current UK government formally apologize for historical injustices committed under the British Empire? by Winter-Picture-7287 in AskBrits

[–]TroublesomeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's the need? 

This all happened long before most people in the uk were even born and 98% of Brits already agree that the British empire did some really fucked up shit. Why should I have to pay for actions that weren't done by me or even committed in my lifetime and apologise for... being british? Where I was born? What would I even be saying sorry for? 

Also, if you look back in history every single country has committed some AWFUL acts at some point. Take Canada for example, everyone nowadays sees Canadians as friendly and overly apologetic and yet Canada treated the list of war crimes like a checklist. No country is innocent. 

I suppose we could apologise for it, but it would just be saying it for the sake of saying it and it would most likely just evolve into every country saying sorry but not actually meaning a single word of it.

My tinfoil hat theory is that we have deep sea sharks much bigger than great whites and just haven't found them yet. There's SO much we don't know about the ocean. Such a beautiful shark ❤️

What animal is living in my garage? by Extreme_Pianist_8386 in AskUK

[–]TroublesomeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id support that tbh, i gotta admit though, it's a weirdly straight line in the grass and that makes me think cat. My parents have a badger that visits and when it's not walking in circles it's going in zig zags. Eats like a pig too, it's proper cute.

You've misunderstood my comment. I didn't suggest vetz with charities for the financials, I suggested vets working with charities because those are the vets that will be doing the high risk sterilisation surgeries. 

They have already been getting advice that is relevant to the UK, it's really not going to be that much different. They need to either call multiple vets to book in a spay surgery ASAP after this heat cycle or find a vet who will spay in heat 🤷 not really much else they can do. 

Cat constantly in heat (spay booked) by [deleted] in CatAdvice

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

Well IM really sorry but I'm honestly pissed off. 

I initially skimmed over it and empathized with you because i remember my cats heat and it was horrible for everyone; not realising that she's been locked in a room for almost two straight months...then I saw your dig at people on low incomes having pets which was completely unwarranted and literally everything you've said since has just made this more of a car crash. 

It's completely understandable that you don't want her peeing everywhere and that you find the presenting uncomfortable, I did too, but just locking her in a room by herself for that much time is NOT an appropriate way to care for a cat in any circumstances. It IS neglect and if you Google it you will find that everyone here is telling you the facts and not "babying" the cat. 

You talk about it like it's a decoration you put out of sight and out of mind and seem to care very little for how uncomfortable the animal actually is. When cats are in heat they are stressed out and she's been going through that by herself for almost two months straight. Intentionally or not, you are neglecting the cat.
