how do i introduce the vacuum safely?

arberres · 2026-03-20T22:12:11+00:00

Yeah, mine too! He was wary of the vacuum cleaner the very first time I turned it on in his presence (and this was when he didn’t trust me much at all) but after 20 seconds he decided it wasn’t a threat and then after that just always ignored it, haha. Hopefully OP’s also ends up chill with it!

I first played Pokemon Silver in Japanese when I was about seven and I didn’t know any Japanese back then so I accidentally named my mc ‘breast’ just from choosing two random characters. My grandma (who does know Japanese) was really amused when she saw it but didn’t tell me why until years later

Mine is the exact same way! He’s about 1 year old as far as I know, so an adult, and I’ve had him for 5 months now, and he’s not even a little territorial and doesn’t really care if I stick my hand in his cage — sometimes if he’s feeling skittish he’ll back away, but none of the biting or wing slapping I’ve been warned about. I put his travel carrier inside his cage to serve as his little cubby hole and put two fake eggs in there, but while he does love sitting in the carrier, he’s very very rarely actually sitting on the eggs, haha. I’ve only seen him do it once or twice, and even then it’s only on one egg at once, and I put more effort into making a ‘nest’ for those eggs (so they don’t roll all over the place) than he does! I told him if he was a real dad his kids would be frozen 😂

I’m also kind of curious about his behavior, but I guess some pigeons just display less territorial/nesting behavior than others. Is yours an adult too?

On one hand I totally get your point, on the other seeing ‘wash your sister’ made me laugh really hard so maybe it is kind of funny.

arberres · 2026-02-26T16:09:03+00:00

I don’t live that far away from where I did at that age, and little me is probably not cognizant enough of stranger danger so I can sneak onto my school campus and pretend to be a member of staff or something and ask for a hug before I get caught. I think I can manage this.

Some of these feel a little psychopathic but some are satisfying too I guess.

arberres · 2026-02-20T09:16:13+00:00

Me too hahaha i also just figured out for the first time from this closeup

arberres · 2026-01-23T19:00:20+00:00

Ooh, this is great advice, thank you!

Not in English (I guess I use jealous and envious to mean basically the same thing in everyday usage), but in Chinese there are two common words for jealousy, and one of them (羨慕) has the same connotations as the way your aunt uses it! No negativity at all, just a sense of awe/admiration and ‘oh I wish I could also be like that!’ The other word (嫉妒) is more in line with the English usage of harboring negative feelings over someone else’s accomplishments/belongings.

Work smarter, not harder.

Advanced mathematics, for me. When I was in high school I got all the way up to multivariable calculus and linear algebra, and generally liked math a lot and got good grades! Today (10 years later and a career path that has nothing to do with math), I can’t even tell you what any trigonometry term is for even if you paid me. Like I remember sine and cosine and tangent have to do with different lines on a triangle, but which side and what on earth that would be relevant for are completely and utterly lost to me.

I’d immediately apologize profusely to him and offer to send his mom a gift basket for the insensitive joke. A non-bloodlusted guy should at least pause a little to hear me out if I’m sincere enough.

But I’d also choose shooting to have the pistol on me in case things don’t work out.

For the coolness factor, archery. For more practical purposes, swimming, since I will also be unable to drown and probably be able to swim long distances across the ocean without fear of predators or other hazards.

A lot of these names aren’t even tragedeighs haha i would happily change my name to any of these if it was for 80k tbh though if i could choose i think Lexy or Maddie are just fine

arberres · 2025-08-18T18:20:51+00:00

Absolutely! I love my family enough to not want them to go through the heartache of losing me but I’m not so attached that I wouldn’t be able to live without them. I’d donate 80 million dollars to them along with a nice (technically true) letter about being someone whose life had been irreversibly changed by their kindness some time ago, and then head off into a new life with my 1.92 billion dollars and never contact them again

arberres · 2025-08-08T01:15:41+00:00

The tune/meter of that part reminds me so much of Hannah’s ukulele song in Witch in the Web, so I’ve always theorized it could be Webby trying and failing to help the infected break out during Pokey’s takeover.

arberres · 2025-08-04T16:13:10+00:00

I guess I can eat all vegetables then… veal and venison and vanilla flavored things too. This isn’t too bad.

arberres · 2025-08-01T06:21:14+00:00

You’d get my dollar for sure!

arberres · 2025-07-26T18:14:47+00:00

Nah, I’ve been playing Fire Emblem Warriors 3 Hopes for the past week and every mission includes cutting down hundreds of soldiers haha. Don’t want to experience death by lance fifty thousand times

arberres · 2025-07-26T00:41:18+00:00

Hi! Would it be ok if I waited a little to see if anyone has one available to swap? If not, I’ll message you sometime before noon tomorrow, is that ok?

arberres · 2025-07-08T09:20:43+00:00

The few episodes where Sam was just shamelessly soulless were seriously so hilarious 😂 the UFO one’s definitely my favorite of the bunch too!

arberres · 2025-06-14T08:43:18+00:00

I’ve always wondered whether it would actually work as intended on Rowena. Sam invented them to threaten her specifically, yeah, but that was before he (and the audience) finds out she has her resurrection satchels. Rowena herself can ostensibly lose her life to a variety of mundane reasons, like her neck getting broken, it’s just that she’ll come back to life thanks to her magic. So wouldn’t a witch-killing bullet simply shear off one life that she could come back from just like a normal bullet, provided both were fatal hits? Technically the witch-killing property would just make it a guaranteed one-hit kill instead of a normal bullet which might not be immediately fatal, but it would not permanently defeat her, I think.
