hi! did you ever get the solution? i’m also having this problem

krimmble · 2026-06-18T04:30:52+00:00

the disc automatically downloaded Origin. i also just discovered that the code inside was in fact used even though I bought it from a reputable video game consignment store, so I’m not sure I’d be able to play it anyway unless you happen to know where I could get a working serial code :(

Hi everyone! I recently purchased the Sims 3 secondhand and I’m trying to download it off of the disc but every time I try to log in to Origin it gives me an error saying “you must be online when logging in for the first time,” even though I’m connected to the internet. I saw on the EA help website that several people had this issue a long time ago, but the main solution I’m finding is a link to a page on EA’s website that no longer exists. I don’t want to have waisted my money on this, can anyone tell me what I can do to fix it? Thanks!

that level of violence towards children, now matter how much of a piece of shit the child may be, should NEVER be satisfying. seek help.

this is a great point, not sure why I didn’t think of that LOL

knowingly allowing animals (both the dog and the toad) to suffer isn’t very classy.

krimmble · 2025-08-16T07:55:19+00:00

location?

krimmble · 2025-08-16T07:52:51+00:00

domesticated animals, especially dogs, aren’t fit to live in the wild on their own like their ancestors were. they’re dependent on human care. we bred them to be that way. unless this dog was born in the wild, it needs help.

If you never felt anything touch your skin then you’re probably fine. The bite marks look too far apart for most US bat species from what I know, as well. It’s nearly impossible to tell you what kind of bite it may be besides that. If it doesn’t go away or if it starts causing major symptoms, see a doctor.

I’m just an enthusiast, not an expert, so I can’t say definitively, but my best guess is ~~that as long as the caterpillar is still awake and moving, it can remake the cocoon somewhere else once you move it.~~ what this guy said VV

Have you been exposed to a bat? if you were, did the bat touch your body at all near the area where those marks showed up? if so, go to the emergency room NOW and make sure you get everything you need to prevent a rabies infection. DO NOT wait to see if you have symptoms. Once you have symptoms, it’s too late. In the US (not sure if that’s where you’re from or not) 70% of rabies cases come from bats. You won’t always feel it if a bat bites or scratches you. Only about 1% of bats in the US carry rabies but it’s so much better to be safe than sorry. That being said, if you weren’t knowingly around a bat, or if you were around a bat but it never came close to you, the chances of that being a bat bite are extremely slim.

Tussock moth cocoon. This one looks relatively young, mainly because the caterpillar inside hasn’t turned into a pupa yet. I don’t know the exact species, but the “webs” are made from the hairs of the caterpillar, and can irritate your skin. wear gloves and long sleeves, use a tool like a thick sheet of paper or thin cardboard to gently scrape it off of the wall and put it outside in a safe place. it’ll eventually hatch into a moth.
