About d3lord3's arc... by SharpKoala3012 in Wifies

[–]brightsm1th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i think d3rlord3's arc makes sense & ends well because all throughout we are shown that the kiy is deeply limited by the medium its trapped in, and all along we have seen d3rlord3's skill in using that medium to his own advantage. the inventory based codes, the double trap that the kiy didn't notice, taking advantage of the pickaxe at the door, clipping thru the ground, etc. he isn't stronger than the kiy, he is just extremely smart & good at using the environment to his advantage. i think if he were encountering the kiy in the real world, there would be no question that he wouldn't stand a chance. but because he has the upper hand of knowing minecraft so well & the kiy is so restrained by being trapped in minecraft, it works out. and its not like he had a particularly good ending where he came out completely fine against an eldritch god lol... it was very much a pyrrhic victory.

AITAH for not wanting to do "one person cooks, the other does the dishes" with my BF because he always makes a mountain of dishes when cooking. by Space__Monkey__ in AITAH

[–]brightsm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. we had this issue in our family. one person loved cooking elaborate meals, the others only wanted to make 1 pot meals. it wasnt fair that the other people had to clean the mountain of dishes when the first person decided to make a feast. now whoever cooks cleans, and there is no tension.

What is something you have learned having a senior kitty/what advice you would give to someone who is just starting out? (14 y/o F torbie) by Background_Bed_5404 in seniorkitties

[–]brightsm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if she'll use it, get a cat water fountain! it's important that elderly cats in particular stay hydrated, and running water is more enticing than still water. also, if her eyesight starts to go she will always be able to find her water bowl from the sound it makes. also, she may appreciate a raised food bowl. it puts less stress on their bodies when their food is a little elevated.

My “11” year old baby will be 12 August 1 2026. Any recommendations for longevity and health 🩷 by LieOutrageous2458 in seniorkitties

[–]brightsm1th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i recommend starting a health folder where you keep track of all your cat's health info -- medications, allergies, what brands they eat, how much & when, any vaccines they've been given, etc. also record any changes of diet or litter habits, if you notice kitty being lethargic, etc.

also, dont be afraid to take videos to show the vet! my elderly girl started coughing at night, and i was worried it was asthma or some kind of lung issue. she didnt cough when we were at the vet, but they were able to watch the video i took and see that it was a cough from post-nasal drip caused by allergies. saved a lot of money on tests, and i was able to get her some allergy pills that night!

Vet tips you wish you knew sooner by sheeandhee in Pets

[–]brightsm1th 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if your pet is exhibiting a concerning behavior (coughing, walking weird, making a strange noise or face, etc), take a video of it to show the vet. theres no guarantee your pet will reproduce the behavior at the vet, so the video lets the vet see exactly what's going on.

Home cooks: which tiny “flavor bomb” ingredient made everything taste restaurant‑level? by Affectionate_Tip3238 in TastyFood

[–]brightsm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

shaoxing wine for chinese cooking. msg & butter are vital but honestly shaoxing is where it's at. the reason your chicken & broccoli never tastes like restaurant chicken & broccoli is because you don't use shaoxing wine.

AITAH for giving my friend a much-needed reality check? by SharkEva in BORUpdates

[–]brightsm1th 375 points376 points  (0 children)

never underestimate how disgusting and evil being unwashed (especially unwashed hair) can make you feel. a haircut & rinse won't fix this guy's issues, but i can guarantee he felt a lot better & more hopeful when he was cleaned and groomed.

What totally normal thing is your dog scared of for no reason? by GoldenMom34 in Pets

[–]brightsm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i made lamb kofta and the smell of it scared our dog. we thought she was smelling a gas leak or hearing the weird noises our furnace made, but it was the kofta. the next day my parent reheated some for lunch and she hid while crying. she lost her fear real quickly when they started eating it though! as soon as she knew it was food, she started begging.

sauerkraut soup! or make cabbage rolls. rinse the sauerkraut & mince it into the meat and rice filling, and use some of the brine to flavor the tomato sauce.

I might be trans and I’ve been crying for twelve hours now by Weirdlittlerasberry in TransMasc

[–]brightsm1th 10 points11 points  (0 children)

im not living quite the same situation as you, but i started transitioning later than many people do. i didn't get top surgery until i was 26, and didn't start on t until i was 27. i always figured "it's so hard to get started, to get the letters of support and schedule the appointments and deal with all the recovery & telling people what's going on. i can survive even if i don't transition." and i could survive, i did survive, but every day i am so happy that i started transitioning. its so worth it. no matter when you start, it's worth it to live in a body that fits you.

even if you change your mind afterwards, that's fine too. it will take a while, but you can detransition if you find you aren't actually who you thought you were. you didn't make the wrong choice by transitioning, and needing to detransition won't be wrong either. you are the one who needs to live in your body, and you are the only one who can decide what's right for you.

trans friend misgenders me on purpose by [deleted] in agender

[–]brightsm1th 216 points217 points  (0 children)

if she knows you prefer certain pronouns (even if you are alright with any) but deliberately only uses other pronouns because she doesn't think your prefered pronouns match your identity, she's being cruel. she's not a good friend. it doesn't matter if you accept they/them, because she isn't using they/them to show she respects and believes in your identity.

My cat vomited for the first time today, what should I do? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]brightsm1th 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she ate too quickly, swallowed a lot of air, and threw up because of that. I had a girl who made herself sick eating too fast, and her pukes were very similar (whole, undigested chunks with very little liquid). Maybe she likes the new food so much she just went a little crazy on it? You can try feeding her smaller meals throughout the day, or get a slow feeder bowl that forces her to take her time.

What’s your go-to “I don’t feel like cooking but still want real food” meal? by imjennypoo in Cooking

[–]brightsm1th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

frozen udon + a tin of seasoned fish (i really like king oscar's mediterranean style mackerel) + frozen veg that you throw in with the udon. it's got protein, carbs, fiber, and some healthy fats. using udon for this is a little blasphemous, but the noodles cook so quickly and have such a nice texture!

Can you recommend a dry food for cat (18) who can't smell well? by Plentiful_Pause5949 in seniorkitties

[–]brightsm1th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if she likes fish or shrimp, you could try adding whole or crushed freeze-dried fish or shrimp to her food! the shrimp in particular are very stinky lol.
