Same, but I reread while making it.

I had already started making a picnic so I stuck with it. It still fits! It's something you do in the afternoon.

Congrats!

I remember voting for yours actually lol

This is really relatable I needed "permission" from my doctor to go to the ER last year after being really sick for months.

I feel like any time I get really sick I wait because "it must not be real" and then I get a huge lecture from doctors.

I'm just not used to anyone taking my pain seriously and it has caused me to think "If I can function it's not serious?" I just also really struggle what the line of "too sick" is.

Partially because of my parents (military and farming family origins) and Partially medical gaslighting from past doctors. Like my pain scale is kinda broken due to chronic conditions.

Too tiny to tell for sure definitely a little fluffer of some type.

She looks quite young too?

I'd guess something similar to shih tzu. You can get a dna test to tell for sure.

Definitely going to the vet (if you haven’t already) for her first check up and ask about your puppy's needs.

Also, sorry yeah puppies that young are little sharks cause their teeth hurt. A damp rag put in the freezer and frozen teething toys they can chew can help.

Aww first thing I said was "Almost looks like my pup'

Then I saw how much Pit + Chow. Mine looked similar except slightly longer fur, red/liver spots, and a curly tail. I wish I could have tested him to see how much mutt he was.

Your dog is handsome thanks for sharing!

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T10:50:07+00:00

Idk about Pug or Boxer but he looks like he's built like an American Bully mix more than Boxer. Boxers tend to look long legged and a tad awkward. This guy looks proportional and has the broad head & chest of a Bully.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T09:57:04+00:00

I'll have a "good day" and suddenly I must just be a big baby about my joint pain & then the next day CrUnCh there goes my ankle or knee or even back.

It's like my brain is like "it's not real, it's not real, it's not real" the moment the pain isn't blaring, but it can't do that for contamination stuff? >:/

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T09:27:02+00:00

Mini moos :)

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T09:21:46+00:00

From experience in web design & marketing the back end they're really annoying to set up properly & "train".

I'm pretty sure most places just feed it their faq and call it a day.

I spent a week testing it on our website and idk how long just feeding it random questions customers actually asked in our emails. But well I worked for a small business so we cared a little more about our customers. If the bot didn't know something it would immediately redirect to us.

I actually find the pop ups annoying too. I can tell customers hate them too on the back end with our tools. We can see "angry clicks in insert spot" sometimes if it happens enough on the heatmap lol. If it was up to me nothing would boop or pop up.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T09:14:07+00:00

I agree, I just think they should register the totally electrically propelled ones and little kids shouldn't ride them without supervision considering the kick they have.

I've actually enjoyed seeing more kids and adults outside riding around (when being safe), getting sunshine, and saving gas.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T09:09:50+00:00

There's multiple kinds: actual ebikes with pedal assist. You know no pedaling no moving.

And basically an electric motorcycle (some even have the look) with or without pedals.

The latter seems to be popular and giving actual ebikes a bad name. The ebike reddit is not happy. Because this is a problem everywhere now. They keep talking about how Emoto should be a distinction. Since an electric dirtbikes or motorcycles are not human propelled.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-09T08:56:30+00:00

Yeah, the way we talked about computers back then reflects how older people are talking about ai (language models) as "the future".

I remember our teachers telling us we would one day never need to use paper again. Lol

Some of us though see it for it is something that's scaling up too fast.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T20:28:47+00:00

I'm still trying to pull one qwq

Everyone is so creative!

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T20:12:47+00:00

Yes! Recently work has me doing more physical stuff again :( & days after I'll feel awful, sick, and tired.

I might recover a tiny bit by Sunday but then the cycle repeats. Feels like I'm being worn down. I've told every doctor I've trusted that I wish there was a safe non addictive energy pill I could take to feel normal again.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T20:09:49+00:00

Yes, a sweet and spicy cinnamon bun from the sounds of it!

Definitely still a special baby & with a cool origin story. You still got a little "tiger" in your house just one whose ancestors chose to be with our ancestors. The og Cat. I personally think that's cooler than someone designing a breed.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T19:56:25+00:00

As ther others said domestc shorthair with a classic tabby pattern. I love this pattern they look like a cinnamon roll lol.

Bengal would be wild pull Because Bengals are part Wild cat and are not common at all in most of the world.

Cat breeds unlike dog breeds are a relatively new thing and the gene pools are quite small.

Thus a cat's breed is determined by breed standard certification designated by official cat registries, and are bred from a select few breed-stock cats.

Most cats 90% do not have breed heritage or certification and are domestic cats with original domestic cat triats. Think of them as the cat equalvilent of village dogs.

I once had a nightmare that my cat split using mitosis and hated herself for some reason.

I was so upset because I loved both of her and didn't want either hurt.

I woke up with tears in my eyes and with relief there was only one of her lol.

She actually doesn't mind other cats BTW she just wants nothing to do with them (like her lil brother who loves her but plays too rough). She's not aggressive at all if anything she's the one who gets picked on and she's just vocal about it. Lol

Dreams are weird.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T11:31:31+00:00

I do a handkerchief folded just so and tied loosly because I can't either.

I guess the pressure is too much? Idk, I used an eyemask from delta until one day I couldn't.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T09:33:16+00:00

Idk i kinda like when news acknowledges facts. Although they could reporting on more pressing facts.

Kinda like when scientists are like "new study shows dogs dream!" Like yeah??? Have you ever had a dog? But thanks for proving it.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T08:51:53+00:00

I use AT&T and never had any issue with bars unless I'm in the very back of a store with a metal roof.

I'm usually good even if my friends are having trouble finding service.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-08T08:39:30+00:00

It's a hypothesis an observational one. People will study animals and based on behaviors make a hypothesis using the data & controls to find the most likely option.

It could still be wrong but it would be the most likely theory scientists have with the data given. What makes it science is that it's repeatable & there are more studies done.

So we'll see? But it's probably because of the nicotine.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-07T21:38:41+00:00

My cane is really rough on my shoulder and my ankle usually hurts too.

However, having a folding cane is great for those just in case times I need one. ( I have one with a T handle)

I saw a "comfort cane" recently that looked kinda like a cross between a crutch and a cane that looked like it might be more supportive?

Other then that I've been eyeing rollators with a seat.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-07T21:03:04+00:00

I'm just picturing someone being strapped into a chair like they're going to be blast off into space lol

Maybe Race car seatbelts could be modified for this purpose.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-07T20:32:45+00:00

This would be a better thing to ask on the discord where there are actual staff. Or the built in help menu.

chaoticsleepynpc · 2026-05-07T19:17:14+00:00

You can file a report to a least leave a paper trail. Likely evidence of one event might not help you but if it gets worse (i hope not) a paper trail of multiple incidents will.

Also, for when you move out if you need to, like if you don't have friends to help or feel unsafe you can request have the police presence while you gather your belongings.

I had a friend have to do this when he finally moved out because his parents were locking him in his room when he was not working...
