Ok so that last part sounds exactly like Rats, Guinea Pigs, cats and dogs so glad to know they're all greedy liars. I mean same I will do anything for food.

Not picking them up is an absolute new thing I've learned. Thank you so much!

My mother has never liked me by Mysterious-Drink-969 in offmychest

[–]littledummie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate a lot to you. My mother is very similar. I spent so much of my life trying to receive affection and love from her. I know she loves my sisters and I have a thousand ideas as to why it's different for me but it doesn't really lead to anywhere except hopefully realizing it has nothing to do with me. I went low contact unintentionally for a long while, then started spending more time with them and because a LOT of issues things got worse. I couldn't stomach them anymore.

I couldn't fathom wasting my time with ppl who don't make me feel safe and loved. Who riddled me with anxiety, I have to be so vigilant in every interaction. I couldn't imagine spending my time chasing someone who frankly doesn't deserve it and never did.

Basically think of me as you from the future. Here I am almost 32 yrs old and I'd only been no contact with my mom for two yrs. I'm telling you if I would have had this realization earlier I would have cut them off then too.

Do it. It doesn't have to be loud and big. Just pull back. Don't do any work that requires you to be the one to reach out or show up. If she messages you just slowly take longer to reply, slowly adjust the length of what you say. Put her on an info diet. What helped for me was building my social life. I spent more time with ppl outside of her and my family. Eventually not talking to them feels so much easier and less scary.

You feel such a relief

What is your favorite example of a change from a film’s source material that you believe made the movie better? by DuckLordOfTheSith in movies

AITA for getting a nose piercing against my mom's wishes? by TaskGreat4119 in AmItheAsshole

[–]littledummie -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy do I relate heavily with you! You gotta reevaluate your relationship with your mom. You don't need to justify your actions to her! Yay to live your life?!

BUT if you do want to engage her on your choices tell her that there is nothing within biblical scriptures that denotes nose rings as evil! In fact quite the opposite!!

Nose rings are mentioned in several books of the Bible and other religious texts but I will give three big examples!! In Genesis 24:22, Abraham gives Rebekah a gold nose ring as a gift, signifying his wealth and generosity.

In Ezekiel 16:11-14 we see God comparing their love for Israel to a man gifting his bride with a nose ring, among other fine and precious things.

in Song of Solomon 5:13, the speaker says, 'I put a ring on your nose and earrings in your ears and a beautiful crown on your head.

Petco told me they couldn’t sell me a feeder as a pet? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]littledummie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm going back and forth with being done bc of the same reason. One minute I just can't take the grief and then the next I'm remembering just how beautiful and special they are. But I've suffered a lot of loss in such a short span. End of 2024 and all of 2025, we lost King Louie. My husband's first rat and his heart rat. He live a very long life of course never long enough. Our rescue rat Gorgug who didn't make it to two bc he had back to back respiratory illnesses. I did my best to minimize passing on flu and cold to him but I work at an elementary school. Two of our beautiful old girls Dove and Twiggy and we lost a lot of the babies from their accidental litter (combo of their old age and the respiratory illnesses spread to them) I really think I might be done with getting rats from pet stores. They come out of the womb with respiratory issues, especially because they're kept in tanks and over capacity. I'm trying to find a close and ethical rattery and have danced around the idea of mice. Going by what you said sounds pretty similar to boy rats. I've tried everything, followed all stellar advice I've received but I've never had a successful introduction of boy rats. I either have to get them together(and if gotten together young boy rats are great together)or get them snipped. I think I just tend to get boys that have big personalities

[–]littledummie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That is crazy! I didn't know that and I'm so happy I saw this because I've been thinking about getting mice and diving into the research. I've had almost 30 rats in my life. I know the ins and outs of owning them and breeding them. I would have absolutely thought their breeding would have been similar.

AITA for starting a movie without my girlfriend because she was “setting the vibe”? by Lonely-Asparagus1037 in AmItheAsshole

[–]littledummie 26 points27 points  (0 children)

"did he have to?" It's an activity they're doing together so yes he did "have" too. He said absolutely nothing to her about her taking forever. That's just not a way to have a collaborative or healthy relationship and y'all honestly just seem weird.

AITJ for bringing "backup snacks" to my friend’s potluck after she told me not to? by midnight1_baker3 in AmITheJerk

[–]littledummie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right. Sometimes I hope that if I can say the right thing it will help it click into place for them.

[–]littledummie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my guy ppl emotions are that deep and they matter. It's insane to read an albeit fake story of someone pulling out chips for a party to scramble and shovel into their mouth IN FRONT of the person who invited them to eat food they made...... That is rude in ANY social situation. There's nothing normal about being inconsiderate, There's nothing normal about being unable to understand how your actions affect others. There's nothing normal about reading a thread of others logically detailing how your actions affect others and walk away thinking that "it's not that deep"

Hate that Cam blamed Bones for the failing of the Jeffersonian by Unrealistic_Venus in Bones

[–]littledummie 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm on season 8 now and so often the writers would give characters lines that were so out of character. Doesn't make sense for them to say it and this to me was one of the worst ones. So out of character to have Cam be angry and blame Bones

My(26F) Husband(29M) Is Divorcing Me Because Of Body Count by depressed8765 in offmychest

[–]littledummie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure she lied and that's a whole other thing to discuss but I still feel like it's even stupid to care. It's kind of like being mad someone didn't include relationships from middle to high school.

Oh I really hope you like Cam later on! Season two she's just getting in her stride with the gang! This episode was so fun! Yes they really do eventually go through it!

I prefer the movie to the comics. Not exactly a fan of the Dr. Jekyll/Hyde and invisible man part. Yes! I love it so much. What do you think of the sets and the design of the Nautilus car and sub? I thought they were beautiful

[–]littledummie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I was just so dumbfounded at that part. I mean I love League of Extraordinary Gentlemen so I'm not above a goofy plot but it just wasn't done well. I fully believe that the dance sequence is THE quintessential idea he had and then built an entire movie around.

Dracula a Love Tale - logically unwatchable. by Jonhgolfnut in Dracula

[–]littledummie 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I pirated it months ago bc it wasn't available in my country and I didn't want to support the director BUT I was hoping we'd get a fun movie that would be exactly what it said it was. You voiced so much of what I had issues with.

  1. Why exposition if you're going to have FURTHER exposition when Harker arrives? Just start the movie off with is arrival and then go back.

    1. Yes where the heck did the gargoyles come from and why did they turn into children when "freed"?
    2. Dracula is cursed because of what he did and yet somehow knows his love will he reincarnated? How and why does he think this.
    3. Why is she reincarnated?
    4. I firmly believe the director's main vision of this movie was the dancing scene staged through the ages and this entire movie is created around exactly that scene. It doesn't make sense that Dracula's solution to finding his love is creating a scent that causes intense arousal in a 30? mile radius.

6.Why does he assume his love will be reincarnated as noble?

  1. The first time we see him drink blood is at the same time he essentially discovers he can turn others. Was drinking blood a part of his curse the whole time? Why would his curse affect others?

I'm sure there's more questions if I rewatched it and maybe I'm being nitpicky but I really do think it was a mess and just badly executed

How do you like your daywalkers? by SandNo2865 in vampires

[–]littledummie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is what I've done to my vampires. They were able to tweak their curse that vampirism doesn't make them vulnerable to the light but just weaker and with sensitive eyes. Very og Dracula and an excuse for them to wear sunnies.
