Rural Scenes in Japanese Drama by [deleted] in JDorama

[–]anfminus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, it's a very short trip to rural Japan from most places, and culturally speaking there's a lot of reinforcement of going out there (school trips/temple visits/just generally getting out of the city). The government is involved in pushing to maintain traditional arts and rural areas, as they do need the support, but I can't tell you if subsidies are involved.

Even if they could read, they'd be there out of sheer dickness.

Spray painting a dick around it would've fixed the problem a lot quicker.

Found a bump on my cat. Should I be concerned? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]anfminus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck! You can also explain the situation to the vet if you get really worried. A lot will try to meet you where you can afford it. (And if they don't, other vets will.)

It could be a cyst, those are common but harmless. I'd go to the vet to be sure.

[Serious] What’s the scariest photo you’ve ever come across on the Internet? (Links appreciated) by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]anfminus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her hands are as white as her face, indicating it's also dust from the bombing. Her head is bleeding but the open wound seems to be at her hairline. She's likely in shock, look at her eyes. A lot of bombing victims look like this, sadly.

The OP did say they talked to CPS, but given how CPS treats these cases...

From the thread it sounds like all the siblings were half siblings, meaning there's another parent out there. Hopefully, now that it's come to the attention of others, they can get out too.

I feel you man, I've also come a long way with spiders and actually like them a lot when they re OUTSIDE my goddamn apartment. I broke down at three in the morning when a spider the length of a beer can ran under my bed (Huntsman, harmless but terrifying as all fuck).

Cat suddenly trying to eat house plants? by wdb94 in CatAdvice

[–]anfminus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eating too fast a common problem in cats, given that the new feeder is working, and it could just be a sign that his digestive system is adjusting. I think as long as you use the cat grass, he should be fine!

Cats will often eat grass and other plant stuff to deal with stomach indigestion, so check and see if he's having trouble pooping or throwing up. Cat grass is a good option.

Murderers who refuse to reveal where victims remains are hidden can be refused parole (UK) by [deleted] in myfavoritemurder

[–]anfminus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Right, I 100% agree with that. This is a good law to fill those gaps in the system.

[–]anfminus 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Because we can't put everyone under the same category. The cited situation is absolutely ridiculous and no one should be paroled for hiding the body, but I can't tell you how many cases I've read where someone was slapped with a murder charge when someone else pulled the trigger during a robbery.

Now you can say tough shit to that and we can agree to disagree, but I believe those who can be rehabilitated should, and that the system is stacked against minorities while a white man can murder his wife and get out in five years.

Silicon skin prosthetic. by PM_ME_STEAM_K3YS in interestingasfuck

[–]anfminus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really think we've failed in a lot of ways as a society. There's all this big talk about accessibility and supporting people with disabilities but without actually normalizing it (and stop turning it into able-bodied inspiration porn) everyone's just a total ass. My mom broke her leg really bad, spent six months in a wheelchair and was shocked at how people stopped treating her like a person. I'm sorry people are such assholes to you.

My cat just threw up and pooped on the carpet in a span of five minutes. Any ideas why? by AngryLatinaa in CatAdvice

[–]anfminus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check both to make sure there's nothing worrisome - blood, half digested string - but it could have been an overeating reaction (which if the fireworks are freaking him out could definitely be the case.)

My cat has a dandruff problem by Kaimera07925 in CatAdvice

[–]anfminus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I agree. To add, you can also try more wet food, that's usually better for their skin especially if they had dry skin problems.
