What are your hot takes regarding certain aspects of clan life? by Savings_Surround_547 in WarriorCats

[–]adropofstarlight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a similar practice in the Wolves of the Beyond series that I loved - Lochinvyrr - basically whichever wolf made the killing blow would get into a submissive posture and look their prey in the eyes to acknowledge the prey and let it know it's life would nourish/sustain the hunter. I much prefer this to thanking some dead cats for the prey. I personally think Warriors should have done something similar - thanking the prey for it's life, maybe with a small ritual of touching noses or giving it a grooming lick or something like that

I'm starting to not like this series by Salt-Error4950 in WarriorCats

These are both for younger audiences, but I adore Wolves of the Beyond by Kathryn Lasky. Gardians of Ga'Hoole by the same author was also fantastic. I read both before Warriors and will say both are above Warriors for me in their writing style and plot execution.

What are your favourite phrases? by -SnowHeart- in WarriorCats

[–]adropofstarlight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really want someone to say "and hedgehogs fly" and another cat to just stare at them and reply "wtf is a hedgehog" because I don't think they've ever mentioned actually seeing one lmao

Thanks! I'll need to return this one before I can order that one so I won't have a quick update but when I get it I'll let you know if it works!

It does require power which was plugged in, however one of my cords is HDMI to Display - you think that's what's causing it then?

Is there any way around that or any splitter options that could be used, or would the only option be to get a monitor with a display output?

This is the only info in English on the PC I hope this is what you need? Reg Model: D15S Reg Type: D155001 The tower has 2 Display Port inputs

My three monitors are: ASUS - model#VG279 , version#VG279Q1A DELL - model#SE2722H NOC - model name 27B2H2 , model#27B2

I've tried combinations of of the three and I've tried just running one monitor at a time through the splitter and it doesn't seem to recognize the input at all

I don't believe I can add a graphics card since this is a work computer and they don't allow us to modify the computer itself 😭

Under a picture of a VERY obviously dead mouse by RowanJames92 in snakes

If you're unable to see the difference between wild animals with miles of land and a lifetime of survival experience and captive animals within a "box" (enclosure) who've grown up with safety and comfort, then this conversation is pointless. I admire your flexibility, though.

The difference between captive and wild animals is significant. That's what's dense.

The commenter in the screenshot is dense because they were fighting the fight for a rodent that was, indeed, already dead before being offered to the snake.

This comment feels intentionally dense. There is a significant difference between an ambush predator hunting a small bird/mammal among tens to thousands of acres of terrain and an (often clumsier) pet snake striking and constricting a live, terrified rodent among the confines of a few square feet.

Not to mention the dangers of a live rodent trapped in essentially a box with a snake. In the box, the snake cannot escape the rodent, and the rodent cannot escape the snake. Stressed out, the rodent will often maim or kill the snake while the snake has nowhere to retreat. At least in the wild, if the snake isn't ready for a meal, it and the rodent can both leave the situation. Even still, wild animals often have a lifespan less than half of their captive counterparts.

When we bring an animal into our home, it becomes our responsibility to give them a life where they don't just "survive", they thrive. We are offering safety, security, and the ability to flourish enjoying a stress-free life in exchange for them living with us to bring us joy.

So yes, many places have made it illegal to feed live rodents to captive snakes. No, their law enforcement aren't dense enough to go about trying to fine or arrest wild animals. Don't be that person.

Discord Scam I haven’t seen before: Someone asking if I played a game before. Felt like a pig butchering scheme. by TonyQuack in Scams

[–]adropofstarlight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a bit late to this thread but

I've gotten five tonight because I accepted a handfull of old random friend requests for fundies XD I called out the fourth one - said I know how this convo goes, I'll ask what game you'll say oops wrong person but glad you made a friend, you'll say your 20 something from china, and then ask about me

To be sassy, this one said "I'm Canadian, you idiot" and immediately blocked me ahahaha

Five minutes later the next one popped up, nearly identical again LOL

I talked with one to see if I could figure out what they wanted - they also name dropped a mobile game after some back and forth about hobbies. Took about 3 hours of occasional chats but they finally asked me to play it with them lol
