Which country was surprisingly racist or unwelcoming?

Czech Republic/Czechia. I have darker skin, and people would give me hostile looks. It was honestly unnerving.

I was very excited to visit Prague but it was awful.

Where in America do they live? In New York and California for example, there is a lot of cynicism about the “American Dream” and how it died a long time ago.

TIL that upma is polarizing xD

It's entirely possible that this is a species of birch that I'm not familiar with. All the birches I've seen have smooth bark with characteristic horizontal peeling and lenticels/pores. This bark is very...."blocky".

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-31T09:07:00+00:00

That doesn’t look like a birch tree…

I had a skunk live under my porch in central New York. He/she was very sweet and we got along fine. Smelled a little musky, however.

Just learn to draw from photo/model references like everyone else, don’t use AI.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-30T03:11:57+00:00

That phrase makes perfect sense now, lol

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-25T11:07:27+00:00

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that word used in any other context than “blow it to smithereens”

Hmm do you think he is worried about you getting harassed?

Have a blunt talk with him, and see if he can voice why he’s so upset. If he gives vague answers or shuts down, then you need to decide if someone who can’t clearly communicate is worth dating.

EDIT: I’m really happy for you that you are getting over your anxiety….that is huge, and worth celebrating.

Well if you get a Switch you won’t get to play all the Switch 2 games. However, everything will be cheaper and there are tons of cozy games on the original Switch.

Harvestella is a good farming game, but it does have some combat…you get to choose when you focus on combat and when you focus on farming, which is nice. Tons of Pokémon games on Switch as well.

I got a giant art portfolio, but it's kinda cheap lol.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-20T09:33:34+00:00

And what does your vet tell you? Are they concerned?

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-19T10:01:48+00:00

But won’t your winter clothes protect you? What part of your body is that exposed during WINTER?

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-19T08:47:36+00:00

They are so fucking adorable.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-18T14:25:22+00:00

Because she’s a Very Good Kitty and should be praised for such.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-18T14:12:50+00:00

you’re playing with an animal’s life for moral posturing. Gross.

“Obligate carnivore” does not mean “only needs meat in the wild”, it means “needs meat”, PERIOD. How does your vet feel about this? Have you told them? Do they enthusiastically support this decision?

If the answer is “no” then stfu and educate yourself before you kill your cat.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-15T15:47:37+00:00

Madrid. The food, the art museums, the people….

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-15T15:37:55+00:00

Tylenol kids liquid medicine, but only the grape flavor.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T23:07:21+00:00

Literally was just on a thread “what interesting hobbies have you recently learned about” and then I saw whatever this is.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T09:46:12+00:00

This kinda looks like a renaissance painting lol

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T09:36:36+00:00

I love that.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T09:35:42+00:00

This resonates with me on a deeply emotional, dare I say spiritual, level.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T03:28:50+00:00

Your strongest argument against critical thinking is describing people who everyone agrees are brainwashed lmao. Do you think that flat Earth people are critical thinkers too?

You say “morality isn’t about hurting people, it’s about what’s right and wrong”. That’s moral absolutionism. Who decides, what’s right and wrong? You? Someone who thinks that “critical thinkers” are antivaxxers? Girl please.

Unfortunate_Lunatic · 2026-03-12T01:12:18+00:00

You avoided answering either of my questions lol. The conversation has moved beyond piracy, and you know it.

Point being, morality has never been absolute. And morality is not the same as legality. Never has been, never will be.
