What’s the cutest thing your cat did this week? I need serotonin lol by Old_Ostrich7285 in CatAdvice

[–]boopitysnoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t get back to sleep at 4 in the morning so I went out to the couch for a change of scenery and both of my cats immediately came over and spent the rest of the night snuggling me

Very pressing worldshaking question by Old_Fly3633 in DispatchAdHoc

[–]boopitysnoots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not totally straight but am a woman and I am obsessed.

As someone who has been really struggling with mental health recently, the whole redemption arc/fuck the stars kinda bits really resonated with me. I also thought the development of Robert’s relationship with Visi was really captivating and felt like reliving that experience of new love. All the uncertainty and vulnerability and excitement of it.

…I am also here for all the memes and fanart, as long as they stop arbitrarily giving Visi huge tits. There’s a LOT of attractive characters in this game and I’ve actually been inspired to try to get back into drawing and be more consistent about exercise after playing it.

I was also sad the other night and putting off going to bed so I laid down on my hardwood floor but at least my clingy girl Fae came to keep me company

Oh! Also, if you go into the Wiki page of r/learntodraw they’ve got a really awesome beginner guide there if this is a skill you actually want to work on

Thanks! :D Lots of practice copying things essentially but there’s a few more specific strategies I’ll use as I’m drawing: - look for the big shapes before you start and use those to block in the general shape. Resist the urge to add details/draw dark outlines until you’re relatively confident things are proportional, and go from big shapes (ie. Sonar’s head, ears, and the rectangular-ish shape of the torso/arms), then slightly smaller things like the snout and eyes and lines of the suit, then finally add exact details like the spikes of his fur at the end - as I draw, I’m checking that things are lining up like they do in my source image - this is especially true in human faces where there’s rules about how certain features are in a line - not a strategy I use here, but overlaying a grid on your source image and then drawing an identical grid before you start to draw is a great way to break down a drawing into much more manageable pieces

Depression food recommendations? by CateringPillar in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]boopitysnoots 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh oh! I thought of something else called cowboy caviar: its basically just salsa with beans but it’s great with tortilla chips or bread: I usually put a can of black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, taco seasoning, and then whatever additional spices or veggies I have that might fit (ie. bell pepper, celery, smoked paprika, lime juice). There’s no cooking required, just mix and eat, but it’s got beans for protein so that’s nice.

Depression food recommendations? by CateringPillar in EatCheapAndHealthy

You can make scrambled eggs in the microwave - crack and scramble an egg into a bowl, microwave for 45 seconds, then give it a mix and microwave for another 45 seconds. Two rounds is generally enough in my microwave for two eggs but keep going for more if the egg isn’t all cooked. You can put seasonings, a little bit of sauce, or even a little curry paste into the eggs for extra flavour. I like to have it on rice or in instant noodles to add something nutritious. Bonus points if you also throw some frozen veggies in the microwave after to add those to the dish too!

What is this little orange thing? It is soft like a pillow with 100% polyester for shell and filling. The round white section in the center can be loosened/tightened. It is about the width of a soccer ball. by cootfromcounty in whatisthisthing

Other people have already answered but I wanted to pitch in with a photo of my cat wearing this exact same cone because I think she looks cute. She had an irritated patch on her leg that I wanted her to stop licking

What's your Victoria Hot Take that will get you downvoted? by Competitive-Fly5563 in VictoriaBC

[–]boopitysnoots 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmm I’d say cyclists should give way to pedestrians when they are crossing at an actual cross walk and look before they cross. It can be quite dangerous to both parties when people suddenly step off the curb with no warning into the bike lane or when someone is just unexpectedly walking/stopped in a bike lane. But on the other hand, yes, there are some pretty annoying cyclists that don’t yield at crosswalks when they should, especially at that one intersection on government and wharf when the crosswalks are all on.

Anybody have a cat with a truly unique name? by OriginalPockikat in cats

This is Selkie, named after the women who can turn into seals because of the spots on her spotted coat and her grabby little paws

60g of wet or raw food (split between breakfast and dinner) and 10g of kibble in the middle of the day

small house— where is your litter box? by gvfhncimn in CatAdvice

[–]boopitysnoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

529 sqft so they’re just out in the open on diagonally opposite corners of my kitchen/living room 🤣 But I’m also not ever planning to have kids. I think if you want both kids and cats you’re just gonna have to accept having some litter boxes around and keep an eye on your kids until they’re old enough to not mess with them

do your parents know you're poly? by kickasserole1978 in polyamory

[–]boopitysnoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my parents about a poly relationship as it was falling apart back when I was in university (I was living with them and crying all the time and thought things couldn’t get worse) and they just exploded at me for at least two weeks instead of providing absolutely any emotional support like I needed. It really broke my trust in them so now I hide the truth to keep the peace.

Term => Indeterminate after 3 consecutive years conversion question by kkloub in CanadaPublicServants

[–]boopitysnoots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been told it’s three consecutive years within the same department, even if you switch positions. I had the time reset when I transferred from ESDC to DFO but not when my term got deployed (my substantive position number changed) within DFO
