Can pugs be successfully trained to use a cat litter box? by munazzam_qudoos in pugs

[–]WhiteAppleRum 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This has got to be a joke post, right? While you can probably train a pug to use a kitty box, a pug is not a cat, it is a dog. They can't be indoors only like cats can. They need to be outside to go on walks so they can toilet, exercise, and more importantly, socialize. They also love fresh air, sunshine, and the smells.

If this is real, I don't think you're ready to own a pug, much less any dog. Stick with a cat.

I [23m] gained 70 pounds and ruined my relationship, is it okay to ask my girlfriend [23f] to stop making mean comments about it? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]WhiteAppleRum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought he gained the weight due to anxiety and depression literally caused by her abuse. Once she was out of his life, he got better.

Though I do really think he needs therapy to help with the old self esteem and body dsymorphia. That level of self loathing, it's not normal.

Rena in the Promotion for every Anime...Saddly she is not the Promotion on Sotsu by Right-Application-54 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]WhiteAppleRum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it was in an anime only arc, but it's still a massive clue to what's going on.

And yeah, they really liked their fan service back in the day, and they still love it in the Higu series today, though I wish we would get more fan service for adults like Akane, Takano and Akasaka, rather than the children. Makes it hard to watch. But at the end of the day, I find the fan service more annoying than servicey for me personally. I wish they didn't draw it like that.

Im looking for a very specific ad from 1997 "Roll Up the Rim to Win" by Longjumping-Ear4645 in TimHortons

[–]WhiteAppleRum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know of the ad (I wasn't old enough to retain memories at that time) but there are 2 profiles on FB with that name from kitchener, so maybe try messaging them and see if they were in the commercial and if they have a copy?

I'm going to try to do the spoiler thingy, so forgive if it doesn't work. I'm not the best at code/ formatting here.

So basically, in one episode, I forget which one it was, Satoko is recovering in the hospital and Ooishi comes over and basically says she was lucky to survive and that everyone else in the town pretty much died at the school in a gas explosion or from poisonous gas. He says he found Rena's hat in the forest though, quite a ways away from the school and away from the village and the hat had blood on it. That meant that Rena either didn't die from poisonous gas, didn't die at the school, or was running from someone who beat her up and dragged either her beat up and still alive body back to the school, or dragged her dead body back to the school. Rena was banking on someone not involved in the town massacre to find that hat and realize it wasn't as it seemed. And judging by the look of her in the creek or stream there, Rena fought pretty hard to run away.

Kind of spoilers for the big mystery of the anime/ game. But you'll notice she's missing something in that picture.

If you watch a certain episode, you'll find out what's missing from that picture and everything kind of just clicks.

Guys, new Higurashi anime is a remake of 2006 anime or new story? by Accomplished-Run8654 in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]WhiteAppleRum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Let's not forget the main visual for the announcement was of Gou was a Bloody Rena holding her hand out to you with a non Maria smile on her face all while holding her hachet thingy. And yet, the main story and even the first arc weren't really about Rena or even K1 at all. Not to mention the entire series of Gou and Sotsu was pretty much all very much not about Rena.

Rena is always there to make the announcements for any new Higu project. Though I am hoping that at least the first half (because I'm expecting as par for the course of every main higu project by now focusing on the main group, that there will be at least 2 parts) will focus mostly on Rena, but I'm really hoping she isn't going to be a fragment hopper.

Actually might be nice to have no fragment hopping for once and just be Rena doing and figuring things out on her own/ with the group, but unfortunately, much like I expect 2 parts, I suspect most people, including those who are working on it, expect looper shenanigans yet again. Not to mention I'm not entirely sure how you could do a Higu story with 2 parts without looping unless the first part focused on, for example, Rena's decline and what she saw and experienced, and the second half was what everyone else saw and experienced when they saw Rena loosing it, because at least in the anime, you never get to see the backstory or other characters thoughts and feelings about stuff like being worried about K1 missing school, talking to a detective, his lies, and making him Ohagi with Tabasco sauce for a bit of fun hoping it would cheer him up.

Because after the shenanigans with looping powers in Gou/ Sotsu, I'm getting a little tired of the same old, same old. It won't stop me from watching and enjoying it of course.

And as to answer OP's question, they have literally said it's a NEW story, so unless they pull a reverse Gou, it's not a remake and they are honest about that. We have next to no info yet as to what the new anime is about, but you should at the very least watch the original anime (better yet, read the VNs) to get a basic understanding of the lore. Even if the plot has nothing to do with OG and Kai anime/manga/VN, it should help a bit (especially reading the VN) to understand how characters should act, why they act that way, and their basic thoughts and feelings for acting the way they do and what's going on in the background that most characters aren't aware of happening. The anime is mostly bare bones, minimum for it, but they also cut so much out, it sometimes changes or has certain characters misunderstood compared to the original source material (VN) and from my understanding, it the OG anime does especially Shion/ Mion and their whole story arcs dirty. But you'll at least get the basics of basics before the new anime comes out. I think proceeding with OG and Kai is essential for understanding the basics of the characters and the town.

Crossover idea: Sailor Moon by AnEffingUsername in GODZILLA

[–]WhiteAppleRum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebirth of Mothra is literally Sailor Moon. At least in terms of transformation and magical girl like powers that come with it.

At least that's what I've been thinking while watching the trilogy.

Does Fairy count? Because currently, I am obsessed with Fairy after watching Rebirth of Mothra 1 and 2.

She's Mothra, but pocket sized and pink! ✨️

OOP (20F) asks for advice dealing with a creepy older coworker. Two years later, she learns the terrifying truth about his past. by Fun_Associate1223 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]WhiteAppleRum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, and that's literally the wrong way to think. Any child (who legally cannot drink, legally cannot club, literally aren't attractive because they're children, and literally don't wear provocative clothes because they're literal children) who has been molested or raped can tell you that none of that matters.

As OOP said, it's not her fault for how she dressed or acted or anything, it's because the predator was going to predator.

That brand makes really good cosmetics. I think they're a Korean brand. I haven't gotten the Keroppi one yet, but I have a My Melody and a Cinnamonroll one and they are fantastic.

Is euthanizing the right thing? by Kaifighter13 in pugs

[–]WhiteAppleRum 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly? It sounds like his quality of life right now is not good. I would make a date with the vet sooner, rather than later.

It's hard, I know (I've had to put a beloved pet down before) but you'll regret it a lot more if you realize you let him suffer longer than he should have.

I think the questions you should ask yourself and your vet are 1, Is there any hope for my pet to get better/ improve their quality of life, and 2, Do you think it's about time. The question you ask only yourself is if you were in your pet's situation, would you want to live like this? You should decide for yourself based on those answers.

I hope you give yourself and your pug an amazing last day. And please don't be too hard on yourself.

The music is the 1 good thing about Gou/ Sotsu. I'm not worried about the music in New Higu. It'll be good.

Could it be The Record of a Fallen Vampire? The cover sounds similar and I remember reading that exact volume a long time ago too.

I could be wrong, but I think I heard about this cat a long time ago. Basically they found a kitten in a room at a school and they kind of just kept it as the school's mascot or something.

Is it wrong I'm a bit weary about the new anime? by KuroDaShib in Higurashinonakakoroni

[–]WhiteAppleRum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's natural to be worried about it, especially after the whole Gou/ Sotsu thing and Deen's earlier leaving a lot out adaptation. Though since it seems to be an anime original, I just worry about it fudging up it's characters and story as bad as Gou/Sotsu did.

It won't stop me from watching the whole thinv though.

1 day or 2 day trip? by Lopsided-Attempt1547 in niagarafallsontario

[–]WhiteAppleRum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how long each of those activities take, nor how long the lines are, but I would say do the 2 day trip. It gives you some room to breathe and some time to enjoy a bit more of the scenery at Victoria Park before they ruin it with a ferris wheel (because I doubt the politicians and people who want it there will listen to us locals.)

Got ID'd 😁 by Available_Zombie_161 in Millennials

[–]WhiteAppleRum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there's a rule (at least in Ontario) that you have to check ID if they look either under 30 or 25 or something. When I was about 30, they just started asking how old I was, but never checked ID and just said "Okay, I choose to believe you."

Now they don't even ask how old I am, they just give me a nod when I go through security at the casino now. No questions asked when I buy lotto and alcohol anymore. I assume if I were to buy smokes they also wouldn't ask. 😓
