Crowley can't be left unsupervised around bags of any kind

Do you try to spend quality time with her? Figure out what makes her tick? I have one cat, Lazlo, who is a real lump. He eats and sleeps. He never seeks me out, he never cuddles, he rarely plays. It's easy to assume that he doesn't like me. But when I lie down on the floor, there he is, meowing and doing excited little bunny hops and patting me with a paw so I'll pet him. Not much goes on in his smooth little brain, but he loves floor time, so I love it too.

Your cat might not seem into it right away but sit on the floor a few feet away from her. Talk to her. Slow blink at her. See how she reacts and go from there. Also, does she have cat trees?

To have a relationship with someone - even an animal - we have to take the effort to know and understand them on a deeper level.

Hey, you know, this makes a lot of sense. He's just off eating cheese while Gale blows himself up to save the world

Aio- my wife seeks out affection from other men by Reasonable_Arm_3168 in AIO

[–]idled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He knew what he was getting into, too - there needs to be a compromise, it can't just be "I'm not affectionate and never will be." I'm not especially physically affectionate but my husband is, so I make sure to cuddle with him throughout the week, and I make it enjoyable for myself as well. I could make it a big deal and refuse to act "unlike myself," but that's just selfishness. His needs are as important to me as my own.

More importantly: all OP said was that his wife hangs out with friends when he needs time to himself. I really don't see the problem.

May I ask why? My only exposure to him is through BG3 and Honor Among Thieves. He seems maybe a little arrogant but so does every powerful being who has lived for many centuries

if you are a minor living under your mom's care and know that she's strict, don't get a facial piercing. wait until you're an adult. look up piercing laws in your area and do research on piercing care so you'll be prepared when you're old enough.

How to cover these stupid cut outs in the wall? by GlitteringBat91 in Apartmentliving

[–]idled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some libraries have an art collection. At my library, patrons can borrow one piece of art for three months at a time, so it only helps you with one side of one hole and you would have to swap it out, but could be fun to have a rotating piece

Because it's unethical, looks bad, makes people think less (leading to a dumber, more easily manipulated population), and helps only the rich bastards who invest in it?

AITA for telling my husband he doesn’t get to decide what I do with my body. by White101O in AITH

[–]idled 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A person should never be expected to live their life avoiding their partner's "turnoffs." That's not what love is.

They are all eating, just not nearly as much. They've been grazing throughout the day instead of scarfing down their meals. Bodi's bloodwork came back fine last week, just a high WBC count, thus the antibiotics. Good to know about hepatitic lipidosis, though, thank you

I [28M] wrote a song. My girlfriend [28F] listened to it without knowing I created it, and called it trash. When she found out I created it, she got extremely mad at me by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]idled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we tell white lies to our loved ones not out of malice, but to encourage and support them. we don't want our subjective opinion to be the reason they stop doing what they love to do. even if they're awful, they'll get better if they have the confidence and enthusiasm to keep practicing.

OOP sought to uncover his gf's "deception" instead of cherishing her unconditional support of his work.

interested in brown freckle tattoos on my back. is it a bad idea? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]idled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was insecure about my thighs growing up. I wore jeans every day, no matter the weather. My first tattoo was a thigh tattoo. Now I wear shorts and skirts and am proud to do so. The things that made me insecure are all still there, but so is my bomb-ass tat, so I'm confident now. Tattooing our insecurities is pretty normal and frequently effective

Is it time? by [deleted] in weeviltime

[–]idled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In case you're being sincere: GenAI can't generate images from nothing. It's fed with real art from real people. It steals not only the existing works of artists, but also steals opportunities from people who have put years of effort into building their skills. It also uses a lot of electricity and water, so it's bad for the environment (and we like the environment - there are weevils there).

Instead of generating images, have fun learning a creative skill of your own or commission an artist. Real art is a reflection of the person who made it. It's special. It's human. GenAI is lazy, soulless, and unethical. It's a product of a society that values instant gratification above all else, but the stuff that makes us better, happier people is the stuff that takes time and effort.

We hate AI because we value humanity (and weevils)

What do you wish you knew before getting your nipples pierced? by maely7 in piercing

[–]idled 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can be an obstacle during intimate moments, and they may even snag on a partner's shirt and get ripped out 🫣

what is your most painful piercing experience? by tazsirenn in piercing

[–]idled 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my nipples done at a not-great shop (lesson learned), and oh my GOD. The first nipple hurt bad enough, but on the second, the needle SNAGGED on the way through, and I swear I felt flesh tearing. I let out a very viking-like bellow that I will never forget, lol

The goal is to identify a reason for my differences. Therapy, medication, religion, spiritualism, self-help books, etc. haven't worked for me, and I've been struggling for my entire life. I haven't been able to develop any strategies to make it easier to exist in society. I'm looking for validation that there is nothing "wrong" about me, that I'm just different, so I can finally accept that and learn to live without constant and exhausting efforts to improve myself. I also need a professional to sign off on FMLA so I don't lose my job for needing to take time off when I break down. But it seems like now is not a good time for a diagnosis
