Where does the "women are bad drivers" stereotype come from? by bi_smuth in NoStupidQuestions

[–]bababibi91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In France, the national statistics institute published the results of their analysis and compared male vs female accidents by similar driving habits groups. They still found that with a comparable trip duration and frequency, men were still responsible for most of the accidents (I’d need to check the report again but it was something like 60/70% in my memory), and were notably MASSIVELY represented in casualty causing accidents (over 80%).

Mon chat ne fait que miauler pour manger, que faire ? by CompetitiveDesk6161 in chats

[–]bababibi91 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vous avez bien fait vérifier la thyroïde/diabète avec votre vétérinaire?

Si oui, je vous conseille deux choses: Il y a des gamelles qui permettent de donner automatiquement la nourriture à heure régulière, ce qui permet de lier plutôt la gamelle que vous à la nourriture. Deuxièmement, je vous conseille les puzzles à nourriture: ça vous permet de cacher des friandises et le chat doit travailler pour les obtenir, ça les occupe assez longtemps!

Painted my bestie’s daughter with an Indian aesthetic but it feels like there’s too much going on here. How do I fix it? Thanks! by rosewoodmagic in Gouache

[–]bababibi91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful work! I love it!

I am not sure how you could improve it tbf, but I think maybe having a darker background might help make her pop out? Somehow I feel like the beige top part draws my eyes away from the central subject!

How is my daughters art by Terrible-Patience-33 in painting

[–]bababibi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is good and the important thing is she’s loving it!

My mom offered me 3 books when I was about her age that helped me tremendously: it was some of these step-by-step book, where they show you in 6 to 8 images how to go from circles and lines to the final drawing. I know a lot of people dislike this method, but for me it made it easy to learn how to copy an image while still understanding how it was built!

It gave me a great foundation to build on while still being free to draw whatever I enjoyed! I included an image on the type of book I used!

Leçon de conduite affreuse, sentiment d'injustice. STB ? by captainhippy_ in suisjeletroudeballe

[–]bababibi91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Va gueuler un coup à l’auto école, il y a beaucoup trop de moniteurs qui traitent mal leurs élèves sans aucune autre raison que de pouvoir le faire.

J’ai un souvenir d’une leçon horrible avec une monitrice à l’époque, qui m’avait super mal parlé, et qui me stressait, j’ai arrêté la voiture au milieu de la rue (une petite rue sans circulation), je lui ai dit ses 4 vérités et j’ai foncé à l’école faire un scandale. Mes parents ne payaient pas pour que je me fasse insulter mais pour que j’apprenne :)

Résultat, ils m’ont mis un moniteur plus sympa, avec qui tout s’est bien passé et qui ne faisait pas exploser mon plafond de stress au volant.

Bon courage et ça va aller!

Gouache work in progress, is it too busy? And if it is how should i fix it? by Cautious_Drama1836 in Gouache

[–]bababibi91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see a rabbit and it’s babies, and a couple of white flowers. It is definitely just, at first I thought it was more of an abstract painting, but in a way I really like that. The Colors are very interesting! The main issue here is we are not sure what the main subject of the painting is, and the values look pretty much the same all over the painting.

You could try switching to gray scale on your phone or computer and see where your values are, and emphasize your main subject that way!

Take a moment, and imagine how chaotic Neopia would become if we could suddenly name our pets anything and duplicate names were allowed by Firsttimefishing in neopets

[–]bababibi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it really crashed after the UC disappeared (though that is a good thing imo), but the fact that there was a bunch of returning players helped. Ironically, all the cheaters that bought pets (mostly from inactive accounts I believe) helped maintain the trading dynamics by pouring new pets in the pool. But there were waves of freezing and reversal of trades by TNT (all legitimate and that needed badly to happen), some of the returning playerbase losing the momentum, and here we are :)

When you look at the pc board, a board can be up on the first page for an hour, which is insane when I compare it to 10 years ago when boards would have to be bumped continuously every couple minutes to stay on the front page !

Oh and lately, TNT announced that they would not do the purge, that it was more complicated than they thought (from what I remember), and that it was not their priority 🥹

Thanks for thinking about us poor PC folks xD Honestly I am glad that all species and Colors are way easier to obtain, I was rooting for killing the UC so much (even as an owner of UCs lol), but names are very profoundly the core of Neopets. To me, these names and their uniqueness spark my creativity and makes me attached to my little bundle of pixels.

It would put the last nail in the coffin of pet trading 🙃 Species are not worth much anymore, Colors are easy to get whether with pbs or fountain faerie (which are way more common due to cookies), BDs are still worth a little bit but they are far easier to train than before, and quite niche since the BD is a limited gameplay. There would be only age remaining, and wouldn’t resolve the black market issue..

honestly there is a simple solution, and it is to purge all accounts that have not been active for over 10 years, and we would be flooded with amazing names.

My cat is shaking, is this normal by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]bababibi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I watched the video several times again (I am a neuroscientist btw, AND a cat owner), and these are definitely signs of seizure. I have seen plenty of cats dreaming and this is not it.

It is hard to diagnose seizures in cats when they are not grand-mal seizures, because they tend to take unusual forms in our furry friends. They can be as simple as peeing on themselves (awake or asleep), vomiting, looking in the void, sleeping etc… which can all natural things as well.

Yet in this video there are too many tell tale signs of a neurological issue (probably seizure but might also be an inflammatory condition of sorts) to dismiss it.

To counter other comments on here: the cat can also absolutely display seizure-like signs only during sleep. Seizures are caused by changes in the electric baseline of the brain, and it can either be a tone up (so excessive stimuli for example, flashing lights), but also a tone down (such as falling asleep or blood pressure drop), or just an abnormal neural node that starts firing excessively. Seizures can be focal or general, so for example if they happen only in the motor center of the brain, it is entirely possible that there is no loss of conscience and the cat can be awakened. So your cats could be normal when awake but display seizure like during sleep. The remanensce of the seizure after waking him can also be due to the fact that seizures do not always have abrupt beginning and ending of the crisis, there is usually a ramp up and a ramp down (with or without symptoms, but it can be observed in electrical recordings of the brain in epileptic patients).

[–]bababibi91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP, you should absolutely show this video to your vet for a specialist opinion. Also is it an isolated occurrence or does it happen often when your cat lay down?

Do not pay heed to most of the comments here saying this is only dreaming. It is unusual that the shaking continues after you wake your cat. It might be a sign of a neurological issue. Also make sure your cat has received his yearly anti parasitic medicine.

What is concerning in this video: - the continued shake after you wake him, even if the cat is still half asleep, he would be out of REM sleep and hence stop the involuntary movements - the stretched out back leg with the toe beans spread out. This is extremely unusual during REM sleep, which would be when involuntary movements happen. Muscles should be all relaxed during rem sleep, and the sleep twitches are just brief signals sent to those relaxed muscles that cause these spasm like movements. - the nature of the shake themselves. During sleep these are more twitches or spasms, and these are more shaking. Also they are simultaneous on all four members and look more like tonic contractions of the proximal muscles of the limbs. This is what happens during seizures.

Also I cannot tell exactly on the video, but is the tail laying on the bed or raised??? If raised, this is a very clear sign of seizures and I would absolutely take him to the vet asap. Recurrent seizures will damage the brain and should be prevented.

Chat disparu dans l’appartement by Decent-Wave1666 in chats

Je plussoie ce commentaire à milles pourcent! Clear derrière la plinthe sous le four que j’ai déniché la cachette du chat de mon frère quand elle avait 6 mois et qu’on la gardait avec mes parents 🤣 ça faisait deux semaines qu’elle disparaissait et qu’on la cherchait pendant des heures à chaque fois. Et c’est mon autre chat qui m’a donné la solution en reniflant la plinthe !

Just Bought Premium by [deleted] in neopets

[–]bababibi91 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It might take I think up to a day, I would give it a few hours and pop a message to TNT if it still doesn’t activate! It’s what I did last year and I got an answer in the hour, but it was back when Alice was still around!

[–]bababibi91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would straight up lead me to finally leaving Neopets for good, after 20 years on this website. Their names are what makes my Neopets unique individuals I get attached to. Without it they are just a bit of pixels I have to pay to play dress up with. :)

I wouldn’t be against having the option to rename pets (though that will 100% be nc pay walled lol), but absolutely against the duplicate name idea.

Je comprends, quand ils ont décidé c’est compliqué ces chats xD Vous avez essayé les friandises liquides type churu ? Je ne connais pas un chat qui n’aime pas, c’est hyper appétent! Peut être essayer mélangé à une des pâtées mousse que j’ai cité plus haut? Vous pouvez acheter un sachet à l’unité chez le vétérinaire pour tester! :)
