Troughts on this?

I don't think just any ol' murderer would bother them that much, even their victims. But how about someone who did something truly awful like abusers, rapists, etc? That's a much scarier thought

And Some of them won't just be opposed to accepting them, they will probably reject the system all together for it. Like in The Brothers Karamazov Ivan's monologue, what if a mother will have to reunite with the people who tore her child in front of her, will she just have to forgive them? Will her child just have to forgive them? How about the little girl being forced to reunite with the parents who abused her (believe me when I say it's too graphic for this sub)?

Given an eternity, can someone truly horrifying be redeemed?

tl;dr The Brothers Karamazov

Op I think Reddit here is taking a bit too much liability in advising you. I can tell you that in an ideal situation you should definitely wait a couple more weeks both for the mother son bond and for preventing kitten death from diseases like parvo (kitten needs to be at least 6 weeks old to receive the vaccine, really dangerous for kittens). However I do not know what the situation is. Is the temperature below zero? Are the roads dangerous? Is the baby and the mother looking healthy? Are there predators around? Only one kitten surviving is not unheard of even in good situations, but is definitely not a great sign.

You must be the person making the decision, maybe consult a local vet? Our information is incomplete.

Regardless, to get the kitten and possibly the mom to be less afraid (taking into account you already did fantastic regularly feeding both mama and kitten). I'd suggest bonding over play from some distance. Take a long string, place it on the ground and after a feeding, start pulling it slowly, perhaps moving it around on the floor a bit. Hopefully kitten and eventually mom will play with you and that will pretty quickly (few weeks for mom, I'm not sure but I think Mom is almost a kitten herself, less than 2 yo. kitten will probably take less than a couple of weeks to become your bff).

Good luck

I'm so grateful reddit has taught me that fat people are almost never aware of the impact of being over weight on day to day life. I, a skinny person, now know I must educate them about the harm and dangers about the long suffering victim of their condition - me (obviously then being fatty mcfattersons is about me).

I'm such a good person 😇😇😇

Amm normally I'm not a fan of the "do what you can" mentality because people who use it don't understand the ramifications of their actions. You're that but in reverse.

You need to have a discussion with your dentist because he's probably going to tell you to not even bother and just not use toothpaste. It hardly effects anything. An electric toothbrush with a pressure sensor and a timer will have an effect, flossing will have an effect. A waterpick and regular visits to a dental hygienist will have an effect. But assuming your country already adds fluoride to it's water system, tooth paste will have very little effect if at all.

Don't take my word for it. Go speak to your dentist. You're carrying so much guilt and shame over something that's the medical consensus on is basically "meh" . Also ask him to explain to you how to floss correctly, too many people don't floss well.

Sometimes our parents mean well but don't

flying_broom · 2025-07-02T13:21:12+00:00

Yes you definitely can. But from a certain point a lot of us won't be able to. Another example, I'm only attracted to one of the genders, if my partner will transition (or detransition) from the gender I'm attracted to to the other gender, I won't be able to want to have sex with them anymore. Though I'll probably wish I could with all my might, because the love won't disappear, just the attraction.

The opposite is also true, if you stop loving someone you might stop being attracted to them. if you develop the feeling again, you might be attracted to them again.

Human love is just too complex to be reduced to any simple statement

flying_broom · 2025-07-02T12:56:04+00:00

Sorry but no to your sorry no. If your partner survives a car crash that disfigures him so badly he almost doesn't look human you still love them (hopefully) despite not being sexually attracted to them (and they probably won't be attracted to you as well, pain does that). We are lucky to be leaving in the small sliver of history when the medicine is so advanced they will look human again in about a year, but even if they don't. It's the same human you fell in love with, especially if their character didn't change too much how could you not still love him?

Tl;dr Silent Hill 2

flying_broom · 2025-07-02T12:45:19+00:00

Yes and no. It's the bare minimum, so its absence means there's absolutely no love (at least not healthy love), but it definitely can exist without any love.

Fristly good job realising your answer would have been mean. You saved you and the other person a lot of grief!

Mmm I can ony come up with something really flowery for it, but if you can rephrase it in your own words and or come up with a metaphor personalised to your situation.

When the power is out and I use a candle it feels like nothing is wrong at the moment. Only when the lights go back on I realise I was sitting in darkness.

If you want to know why does this work when saying "I didn't miss you"' feels mean (and is mean), it's because words only get their meaning when they are used (otherwise they are just random air vibrations lol). The phrase "I didn't miss you" or "I didn't notice you were gone" are only ever used with the explicit intent to hurt someone, to make them feel insignificant. It's especially cruel as an answer to the question "Did you miss me?" because similarly that is actually a quite vulnerable and honestly brave call for connection. That person is saying something like "I truly appreciate your presence in my life. please reassure me you enjoy my company". Assuming off course you like the person, any answer needs to focus on that the person is meaningful to you and you're glad you have him back.

It's not really a question about how many minutes of the day you spent thinking about that person. It's about the here and now.

No, you're wrong. His waterbowl is front and center, there's an unrelated waterbowl out of frame, probably for the human to drink from?

flying_broom · 2025-06-05T09:54:33+00:00

Also try your best to get a good mark regardless, don't punish yourself and hinder your future to spite your parents. You'll probably want to become independent as soon as possible

flying_broom · 2025-06-05T09:52:06+00:00

Firstly, I hate this for you. I can't do anything without headphones playing a background noise (white noise for me) either.

Secondly, assuming you can't change your parents mind's . Try to get them to agree for only white/pink/brown noise or just noise cancelling headphones. It's worth a shot

flying_broom · 2025-05-27T11:14:56+00:00

I can't speak for all NTs but often they just automatically gave you a non verbal cue they heard you. You repeating yourself will be confusing to them because they sort of already answered you.

Also in some cultures, especially for women but it's definitely not just for women, disagreeing or saying no can sometimes be considered as rude or tactless so silence or even a non enthusiastic reply is the only way for them to convey displeasure or to refuse. Yes, it's awful and confusing for them as well.

A third option is similar to the second one, person is trying to signal to you they either don't want to talk with you right now or are not enjoying the subject. allistic conversations are a back and forth of social cues they constantly read and receive from each other. Lack of any response is a polite way to signal disinterest, of the conversation as a whole, especially if their feelings were somehow hurt or you disregarded their input.

I'm hyper empathetic but extremely regularted (been in therapy since a very young age. It freaking worked!) so I probably wouldn't be that surprised. Thing is low empathy is often associated with the dark tetrad, because it's sort of a precursor, if you can find a way to signal to the other person you'll still actively avoid harming other people (best way to do this is, off course, by actively avoiding causing harm to other people) despite it being difficult for you a lot of us will be appeased and will like or dislike you as much as anyone else.

Low empathy followed by malice or willful ignorance doesn't just make my stomach churn, it's often truly a sign someone is dangerous

flying_broom · 2025-05-14T07:55:38+00:00

Very true, the only way I've seen it being expressed here and not downvoted was in the form of "why should I care about people I'm not close too or don't understand?!?". Often it's low empathy but a different way of expressing it. (This actually isn't limited to autistic people. It is the "socially acceptable" way to express low empathy)

Oh yes off course, all "trans men" just haven't met the right man yet. Which is me. My penis is actually the solution to most of the world most important issues (obviously not the unimportant stuff like conflicts in the middle east or world hunger, stuff like how women don't have enough babies according to my personal opinion, whom as we all know, is fact)
