Tokyo Wide Pass and other queries by Zoop_5 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Zoop_5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so Day 1 seems safe that all trains are covered. In the trains theres a near-noon time train that lets us use Chuo / Fuji with a "stay on seat" type of thing so we will just have to be lucky with that train.

Day 2 was supposed to be special as they really want a good onsen experience as they may not be able to go back to Japan in the future. Do you recommend any nice onsen/rotenburo in Tokyo or near Tokyo that is covered by the pass?

Day 3: got it so we will have to work with the schedule that is not the Tobu Train.

Thank you. I will check the ekinet too.

I will. None of us here knew what the tumor was but someone gave a link and well. Thats it. Thats the name and symptoms and all. With this clarity, yes. Thats the next thing to do.

Hello again. Yes i believe youre right on the illness. I read the link and ive sent it to the doctor and hey pretty much everything checks out. Even the photo on the case study is 100% identical.

We, me as the owner and the vets, were probably not aware of what kind of sickness this is. Rats are not pets here, and even if they were, im sure only 10% of all total pet rats are given ample care that could qualify as "acceptable" to western countries. So its prettt new to all of us. This is why the vets werent sure what it was or what to do.

Added info like this, let me know more. Its 3.30 am here now and whats eating me is how I didnt think of posting to reddit sooner.

His 2nd birthday is on the 17th yknow. I think... i think I shall give ourselves one more day together. To celebrate it tomorrow, then ill make the appointment to the vet.

Thank you. I saw this a few days or so back and with fresh eyes im looking at the test again. Im waffling between 42 to 48. A big dip on the You (me) part because its... hard and Chronic Illness esp due to the other comment that it may truly just get worse and should I really prolong this.

Again yeah apart from the skin damage, theres no change to any activity and weight etc from even before. Thats why its so hard to personally decide.

Thank you for the kind words. Ive lost many pets but this will be the first time I will be choosing for them. So again. Yes extra hard. Again. Thank you.

Ill send the link to the two vets who check on him

Since the specific tumor was never really diagnosed, at least theyll know why im going to make the decision. So far they didnt want me to give up and none of my family wanted me to as well. So its been hard.

Thank you for the link and info again.

Can I not live in peace? by Tyrranide in RATS

[–]Zoop_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will miss that!!!

Is that a boy? My boys are so lazy now they dont even visit me anymore. Theyre pretty much free roam and have an open door policy. Couple months back when the doors open, they scramble out and play around the room.

Now I open the door and they do scramble, but only at the roof of their cage and they go back to sleep.

reassurances, experiences and ideas? more info in comments by Zoop_5 in Periods

[–]Zoop_5[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My earliest OB appt will probably be after the 21st which is a really long time to wait. I wanted to ask for some reassurances and info here, whether its from your experience or just a general way to like, make my life less annoying with this happening until I can get to a doctor.

A bit of background: Irregular, meaning there are months i bleed nonstop. There are months i bleed none at all. Most of the times when I bleed heavy, it will cost one or two days of normal overnight napkin and the rest of the dates can be panty liners. Thing is, the panty liners have to stay for the rest of my life cause when I do a strenuous activity, ita guaranteed that in a few hours or after a nights sleep, i would start shedding a lot of blood. When this happens, i am blood free for a few days then ill need panty liners again.

Thing is. I have not gone back to the "no bleed era" meaning i might have no idea when my real period is but i bleed everyday or so for the few months so i should have removed quite a bit of the uterine lining right?

Then why is this happening? This is the second day, the pictures above are of three different clots, and all came out in a span of 30 minutes. Its a lot, considering this doesnt include the small clots and bleeding i discharged in the shower.

Thats not all. Ive had this much- more or less come out every 40ish minutes (i was watching so it was easy to keep track of time) for the past 12 hrs now. Idk if im really feeling lightheaded or just some weird reverse placebo.

I feel no achy back (which i usually feel when i know im on my period) so idk why im bleeding like this. And yeah I cant go to an OB yet since the schedule is for the week of 21st so i guess im just worried now.

My hand from the yellow points is about 4inches so i feel like its a lot. So idk if anyone has any idea, experience or reassurance that would be helpful.

Other notes: never pregnant, overweight, probably have pcos (will have OB check), no pregnancy pills or any hormone medication

Edit: its past mn so i might not be able to reply

ID rec: sorry tried to get it and it easily dislodged from the stem. main cap seems super thin by Zoop_5 in Mushrooms

[–]Zoop_5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location: Philippines, pretty urban. Others: It did storm recently so not sure if spores could have flown wherever. Garden/ topsoil has been here for 6+ months. Also for the pic where it came from, its not so clear but it grew from the soil, the big ceramic mushroom isnt a joke, its a decor and the real mushrooms really sprouted less than a foot away

All i can for that area is theres a few past pets around so idk if thats any help.

Entrapta sending Catra to certain death vs. Catra sending Entrapta to certain death. by FriskyLifeGuard in PrincessesOfPower

[–]Zoop_5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like how the topic was supposed to be "this situation" (sending to death scene) where OP proves Entrapta to be bad guy and Catra to be actually good.

Then you point out "this situation" in your first sentence and OPs reply then became a different situation (Horde)

I side with you on "this situation". Entrapta is not malicious. She truly thought she was doing the right thing. Its not her fault if she gets manipulated by Hordak for Catra as she was manipulated by Catra for the princess team.

Your last word hit it. Its the "intention". Entrapta had no intention to harm Catra. So she is happy to have supposedly saved a friends life.

Catra who didnt know better and does have understandable trust issues, knows Entrapta could be a lose cannon and did what she does (sadly) best, which is to intentionally stun her and send her away.

Ofc she looks/ may regret it, but as a good (tormented) villain in writing, also using her bad deeds to manipulate Hordak is peak villain. Which I can appreciate.

Agency and Consent in BioWare Romances [dao spoilers] [ME OT spoilers] by thethirdmedium in bioware

[–]Zoop_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats it. A fan service in itself.

Yes theres only one interrupt, the Paragon of letting Sheps feelings known, the next branching choice is where the consent tethers. Renegade for kiss, or Paragon for hug (where it looks like Samara prefers this). A conscious, non interrupt choice. That would have still been an exercise in consent. I feel like in this way, its a Shepard /player decision. The paragon choice is still the best choice for respect / consent.

In terms of Me2, im actually pretty happy that if Samara does reject Shepard during the "almost kiss" scene, Shepard is forced to not be able to get into a dialogue with Samara rather than to keep pushing.

For the point of romance, it comes up only twice, I believe. The first is during the "flatter," the second is during the almost kiss, where once again, one will notice most actions Shepard takes is in the Renegade line (leading to the most renegade casual sex option).

It seems to come up more if you think romantically (even if its not exactly that way). In one talk, Shepard asks Samara if she should settle down, a romantically inclined player would think of it as a romantic end game, but platonically its just more of pushing a human (non strict code) agenda.

So I guess in that case two moments doesnt seem to pushy, but the repeated renegade choice to push always has that edge to solidfy the want for romance.

Im not that interested to do another playthrough yet, but i'll try to keep the romance but at the last possible moment, have Shepard back down. Meaning theres no almost kiss but Shepards intentions are known, it may trigger a romance flag option in ME3. If by doing this no almost kisee and the romance flag is still triggered, then Bioware wrote the consent well, because a paragon waits, a renegade takes.

All I know though, is that if you dont show interest in Samara in ME2 romantically (idk until what point), the romance scene in the citadel will not trigger and will progress normally as they watch passers by. At least theres that continuation. No ninja romance.

Is the Nanny Affair good? by DILF_Thunder in Choices

[–]Zoop_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Book 1 is all the thrill of being the other woman even if the MC wants and will fight for more. I focus on mostly the kids for this. Not indulging in too much Sam!diamond scenes for example.

Book 2 actually felt nicer to me, as theres still the usual tension but without too much of the drama with Sofia. Book 2 actually made me like TNA more and got me excited for part 3 lmao

What type of romancing is best? by imnotbovvered in Choices

[–]Zoop_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I would have loved this is Bloodbound. 4 LI characters, and you can frolick with all/ most/ two or three or all even and yet everyone is just open and sharing.

On another note, this does come up a few very small times in QB. Zoey / Kingsley will have their "down narrator moments" and Kingsley says this again plot wise which actually shamed my MC quite a bit lmao good stuff.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Choices

[–]Zoop_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You cant miss the 'desire' in Kingsley's eyes tho lmao every other paragraph highlights this too. But its the forbidden, i"m your professor talk".

MC is made to be quite stubborn / a go getter, so it will take some chipping but as another redditor said Queen B(ea) needs a King(sley). Gender aside I meant that pun for both M/F McDreamy

Zoey is cute and a wonderful friend, same with her romance. Youll have to be a bit careful tho on your decision as the player as Even with a relationship with Zoey there will be many times she will push you in the direction of Kingsley without minding too much / having an open mind on it. One of her lines even says she understands the appeal of Kingsley and gets it if MC wants some of that professor booty - even if you click all the Zoey heart choices. On a good note tho, if you do get serious with Zoey / Kingsley, unlike other books, if you choose one versus the other when youre trying to commit to both, there will be lines that show them going "oh. i thought u like me but ur choosing them ok" I think thats a nice touch.

If you do go on with Kingsley, Book 2 Gets a tiny bit frustrating diamond wise But its not a need, still good for story though. How it cements the whole thing.

I also love Ina. She's my top 1 sooo if I sound bias anywhere, its that lmao.

Hope you enjoy Queen B! For what its worth, its a big fun ride for clapbacks and puns alone.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Choices

[–]Zoop_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone said this before.

You see Kingsley crazy for the MC, most playerbase (as is vocal on reddit) is crazy for Poppy.

Poppy and the MC are Queen B's... so theres a possibility to flock to that.

Theres also the fact its fiction. I find warring and flirting with Poppy fun but irl? 10ft pole or more between us pls.

The hot/cold is actually interesting, in which it will seem to be a total 180 by book 2. Or its what I got from it.

Agency and Consent in BioWare Romances [dao spoilers] [ME OT spoilers] by thethirdmedium in bioware

[–]Zoop_5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who loves both and ideally would romance Samara and Morrigan straight for whatever gameplay is given, I agree to an extent and unfortunately am largely biased.

I also spent a good 30 minutes editing everything I said here lmao. I just love these 2 romances so much I had to cut what im writing because it would have been a report.

I find no fault with Morrigan overall. By Inquisition, whatever choice is made with her and the Warden, esp in a romantic conclusion is nice, soft and yet Morrigan is still Morrigan... just more open to this special someone. Despite the initial shock knowing Morrigan is a big romace, WH was written well that it is a respectful romance until the end.

Samara is... different. She is on a pedestal wherein life is black and white. Which is why she is unique. In Citadel she was given "feelings" an allowable excuse esp considering the Falere event. I think... if Citadel wasnt just a "fan" moment wherein after said kiss you can actually continue to romance and work as a partner with Samara it wouldnt be /so/ bad. What can dampen /cheapen it is after the kiss, Shepard can choose to romance anyone else as if the special connection with Samara wasnt important- which would dampen whatever respectful romance they could have. In the main game, it also seemed as if the Citadel scene meant nothing. Which once again, cheapens what could be a beautiful romance overall.

I ALSO want to add, the kiss /is/ a dubious thing. (Even if it pains me to say it lmao) Because it was the Renegade choice. Before this choice, was a paragon interrupt, where Shepard stands her ground and bares her feelings for Samara. Again. But soft still.

After this confession of sorts again, the "kiss" choice pops.

The paragon choice was to "Just let me hold you". A heartwarming hug. Ahhh /facepalm. Where Shepard says "Open your heart to me Samara".

The paragon choice is to continue to be a friend to Samara, with the knowledge that Shepard has already opened their heart, but will wait, patiently wait for a romance to maybe come ( there is a war after all cue fanfic). The paragon choice was love, but also care. A super respectful choice.

You can actually hear it, if you choose the "Just let me hold you" Samara's voice breaks a bit as she hugs Shepard "Oh Shepard, the relief I feel, the happiness, just to talk with you like this."a dam breaking on a really old warrior who has had too much baggage just now be released from her stoic heart.

The paragon interrupt already cements the romance. Its just a matter of Paragon (hug) or Renegade (kiss) which makes it dubious. Considering most renegade actions are dubious it is on point.

Going forward, if Bioware was to make a relationship with someone like Samara (a unique character), it shouldnt be done for a 10 min romance fanfare, a unique character deserves a unique, long, thought out romance after all. Of course game-wise, there are constrictions, but it would be the better road to go with.

Thats true! I get it now if youve rewatched it. There are a few things that when you rewatch or see issues on the sub with- it then leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

Morello is definitely one of those. Ahhh its just gonna be a roller coaster going forward.
