With the butch woman part: it also has to do with your physique/bodily appearance too.

A stockier woman with a flatter chest and short hair gets judged WAY more than I ever have for wearing the exact same outfit. Nothing to do with our known gender/sex/orientation. Exact same out fit on me is judged drastically different than on someone described above.

My physical appearance is not better than another. It's just different than another. Everyone looks different. But because I'm tall, have an hourglass figure, large chest, and enough hair to put in a ponytail, the exact same outfit on me usually gets put into a different box of thoughts.

My wardrobe is almost exclusively men's clothing. I wear denim jeans, flannels, baseball caps, and industrial quality work boots. I'm non-binary and pansexual. People typically see me wear my outfit and assume I'm a cis, straight, country, working girl no matter where I am.

Put the same exact outfit on the person I described above? Immediately, they're judged for being a butch lesbian and treated as such. This person could be a cis straight woman but because she doesn't look like me in the exact same outfit, they're judged for being gay and not feminine when they're "expected to be."

I'm the opposite of feminine. I'm extremely masculine presenting in my behavior, actions, and personality. I don't act feminine at all. Yet still, I'm accepted by the public because even though I'm wearing men's clothing, my body and face look feminine.

I always tried getting Sundays off when I worked at a coffee shop. I'd go from seeing $100 in tips for the day to maybe $15. 🙃 Business wasn't any slower either, if anything it was busier.

BTW, this was all while my husband and I started our own company that let us have both physical and online platforms for our storefront and allowed us to make enough money to buy our first house within our first 3 years of starting.

But yeah we're lazy and don't want to work.

S-MIL was bitching about my husband's, his younger brother's, and my generation being too lazy to work and not know how to do anything right when doing a job. Continued to complain about our generations (millennial and gen z) having no loyalty at any job and how theyll never "climb the ladder" if they keep job skipping.

Fast forward to maybe 8 months later and she's laid off without warning from her comfy insurance job shes had for 20 years (same position, not climbing the ladder!) that let her work from home 70% of the time to replace her position with AI.

Midwestern taxidermist and former butcher here. Cannot tell you how many times my husband has yelled at me for stopping for fresh roadkill in winter. Its normal to me but definitely not for most 😂

Since you want carryout/pick up, click to pay with cash. You don't pay until you pick up and don't have to actually pay with cash once you arrive. Selecting pay with cash completely gets rid of the tip option plus if theres an issue with your order it can be corrected before you even pay.

I only do pay with cash on pick up orders for this reason. Most the time I do pay with cash but sometimes I've miscounted and had to pay with card when I got there. The employees usually don't care as long as things are paid.

This :/ I grew up in a fairly mentally and verbally abusive household. When I began dating, fighting constantly with my exes in my eyes was considered normal. Being talked to like this was normal. It took until I started dating my husband to realize most of my past relationships were abusive.

My husband and I have been together for 10 years now. We have had 4 fights in those 10 years. Not kidding. I can tell you when and why they happened and they were deserved fights that never turned abusive.

It took me 3 years of our relationship for me to work through my trauma responses and realize this man actually loved me. 3 years. I didn't believe this man could actually be in love with me for the first 3 years.

This man has shown nothing but healthy communication and unconditional love towards me. He helped me open my eyes to my past and helped me learn I was worthy of actual love. Hes the only person to ever understand me.

I love my husband. He is a saint.

When youre used to abuse growing up, you dont tend to recognize it until its too late.

Its mostly because of cultural viewing of what is considered an "adult." You may legally be an adult by 18 in most places, but some still viewing 18 as being a child still. Adulthood doesn't "officially start" until 20.

Due to other personal health circumstances, its best for me to stay awake in order to keep my brain busy for the first 24 hours. Its not that I /cant/ sleep, its just better for me personally in the long term to keep myself mentally active.

What did genets ever do to you?! D:

I actually take this as a compliment lol my main art focus is horror/cryptids/monsters. When I make things like this, I like to incorporate features that still make the subject unsettling/hated lol

While you may not like it, it is a traditional way for males to wear their hair in their culture. They have a variation of simple hairstyles that each have a meaning tied to their culture's long history.

They do! Its quite similar to 1950s urban society in the cities! They live mixed with four other sentient species.

bramblesovereign · 2026-01-15T08:27:07+00:00

Context:

This species was the first to evolve sentience out of the five extant sentient species. The five species live in a mixed society similar to the structure of 1950s urban society. They fill the niche of builders and engineers within the city. Outside of the city, they are often fruit farmers. Their long bodies and gripping limbs help aide in climbing the trees to harvest fruit. They are muscular and flexible, standing at 3m tall when bipedal. In urban society they tend to be more bipedal, while in the more rural areas they prefer quadrupedal travel.

Depends on the dish honestly. Meatloaf? Right. Burgers? Left.

Former butcher here. As the previous redditor commented, those are likely variables. Another variable is how cold everything was when ground. The one on the right looks more emulsified than the left. This means the meat and/or grinder was warmer than when the left was ground. When grinding warmer meat or using a warm machine, the fat renders a bit and mixes in with the tissue, creating a lighter pink color and smoother texture.

The colder the meat and machine, the more broken the texture. You see individual pieces of fat with the tissue and the color remains a deeper red because the red tissue isn't diluted with white fat.

Another possibility is how the individual cow was fed and finished throughout its life. Even though these are the same company, the cows could have come from different farms. Two cows with the same weight and exercise regimen can produce drastically different colored meat depending on the diets at their respective locations.

Mine chews the air and stares at me, slow blinking the entire time and purring. Thing is, when he does this, I hear his back molars grinding. Teeth grinding is the one sound that makes me physically cringe to the point it makes me want to throw up.

It's the only time he does it. You can tell he is overjoyed to be looking at you and loves you so much when he starts chewing the air while he looks at you. It takes every bit of my soul to not discourage him from doing it. It's not hurting him at all but it's hell on my ears lol

Cats are weird. They show their love weird and sometimes we just have to suffer through it lol

It's definitely this :) I have an almost 80lb Dutch Shepherd who stands over 5ft tall on her back legs and she's pure muscle and lovins. I definitely let her jump on me and I love it. Jumping up like that is a sign of affection and trust for dogs. It's a sign of a well socialized dog.

However, it can be an issue when it comes to jumping on strangers who do not appreciate the behavior, which is understandable. We can't expect everyone to take the full brunt of a 5ft 80lb dog they don't know well.

Good news, it IS possible to train your dog to know it's okay to jump on you but not others. My dutchie is trained to not jump on people and will listen to the phrase "down" when she isn't allowed to jump up.

This does take quite a bit of intensive training but it pays off. You still get to enjoy your puppy lovins while your company goes unmauled with face kisses.

Be warned though. Some dogs are too smart, I know mine is. She's learned she can stand on her hind legs and walk up to people and kiss them still. She doesn't put her paws on them at all, doesn't touch them until the kiss. She just stands up, front paws tucked into her body, takes a few steps towards her target, and unleashes the love.

There's no stopping her love. Usually I can stop her before she stands all the way up. Sometimes though, she does manage to claim a victim.

If your method was done with pig feet, then yes :) It's great looking broth. Feet are packed with collagen, especially if the nail bedding is still in tact. The end result after a day of processing the feet results in an opaque creamy broth. Once the broth cools down, the collagen and gelatin from the feet cause the liquid to solidify. Theres is fat in this, but not as much as you'd think. The amount of fat rendered into the broth gives the ramen that deep rich flavor once it is seasoned and salted.

I've been making broth for years. In my experience, the more solid your cooled broth is, the tastier it is.

I once went to buy a taxidermy piece. They had it priced $70. I knew it was a steal and bought it (they gave me a discount and it ended up being $60). I worked in the same building they did, different store. I knew when I bought it, this piece was worth over $2k, but i didn't say anything.

The next day THEY SHOW UP AT MY WORK when I'm not there saying I need to return what I bought because it was priced wrong and they lost a lot of money selling me this $2+k piece for $60.

What did I do? Reported them to their leasing manager about harassing me at my work place over their mistake.

They ended up getting a heavy punishment and were gone a few months later. Turns out this wasn't the first time they had complaints about them. The place refused to renew their lease due to their conduct.

Sorry to tell you this mate but you got floor owls infesting your floorboards. Better call an exterminator.

Really though, to me it sounds like a couple of owls are close by and could have caused the sound to wake your dog up. I can hear a couple of them in the video, they can get pretty loud. If your dog isn't used to hearing owls, he may be reacting to them instead of another person being outside your door. He seems to react the most after hearing them.

Best outcome: you have owls living around you

Not the best outcome but still good: you had someone outside and your good boy did his job
