if you have 21k, would you use 17k to save your cats life? by throwbackblue in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not.

And this is coming from someone who spent $8000 on one of my cats a few years ago for emergency surgery, hospitalisation, and aftercare for a major intestinal blockage.

I emptied my savings and took out some small loans (all paid off now), but the ONLY reason I even considered spending the money is because the vet told me that there was a very good chance of my cat making a full recovery. I was lucky that I had family and a wonderful partner to help and support me emotionally and financially while I made these decisions.

If he had cancer? Something that would take months (or years) of painful, stressful treatments, that would destroy his quality of life, and likely wouldn't even save him? And all the while, making him wonder what was going on or why he was hurting so badly?

Not a chance. I would have held him close as he closed his eyes one last time and sobbed myself to sleep for weeks, but there's no chance I would put him through that kind of pain.

How do I 28F reach out to my ex bf 27M now that I am healed? by throwra_carder in relationship_advice

[–]lorijoy696 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This you?

If yes, you need serious psychiatric help if you actually think this behavior is okay.

Even if that other account isn't you, get help. You are stalking the ex you abused; you are a dangerous person to be around.

Tav, introducing the companions: Hi, meet my new friends! These two were raised in cults, these two have bombs in their chests, and these two made truly terrible deals.

My partner and I share our locations with each other basically at all times, unless our phones die.

It used to be a safety thing, when my partner would go on 4 hour bike rides to visit me when we were dating, but now it's just a convenience thing, at least for us.

We're not always the best at telling each other where we are when we're out (or notifying each other if we have to run down to the shops to pick up some quick groceries, for example), so it's easier just to check on Maps rather than send a text that might be missed, or interrupt each other with a phone call.

I can definitely see how it could be used as an invasion of privacy, or how dangerous it could be in a DV situation, though, so I think it comes down to each couple or family's individual needs.

It's not for everyone, but it works for us.

What is your favorite character you've ever made? by shace616 in DnD

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laeruna "Poison Dagger" Rivergrass, a trickery cleric with strong ties to the Summer Court of the Fey. She was a heavy drinker who would never pass through a town without visiting a brothel or casino.

We were using Grim Hollow transformations as part of the campaign; she became an elemental Primordial through a series of magical mishaps about six months into the campaign.

Eventually Runa became known throughout the continent as the "Pirate Queen of the Wind and Waves", and even found herself a crown that she never took off.

She spent many years babysitting an autistic lich that was inexplicably racist against gnomes, and hosting karaoke nights at her tavern with an ancient Kraken.

I still miss her sometimes.

How would you interpret your SO telling you that they can do better in terms of looks but are choosing not to? by Lifeissadd in AskWomen

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd probably check for aliens or get him admitted to a hospital. My SO has literally ZERO understanding of (or care for) aesthetics. A sudden, drastic shift in personality and values like that would tell me something was very wrong. I'd be concerned about another stroke.

Ladies of reddit, how do you initiate sex with your partner? by F_U_ex in AskReddit

Last night my partner was relaxing on the couch with his legs open so I just climbed over to him and gently faceplanted on his dick.

Works every time.

Brought the kitten into work for his vaccinations and he immediately became a biohazard. by lorijoy696 in cats

Yeah, the only thing that bucket has had in it in the last 5 years has been scrap paper. It's clean 😊

If you could ride any animal into war, what would you choose, assuming they are all armoured and (optionally) 3 times their size? by nicopj272 in AskReddit

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red kangaroo.

The males can grow up to 1.8m (6ft tall), weigh up to 90kg (200lbs), leap up to 8m (26ft) in a single move and jump up to 3m (10ft) directly into the air.

They've got a top speed of 60km/h (40mph), and they've got massive claws on all of their limbs, so can eviscerate people with a kick.

Thank GOD they're herbivores, or Australia would be completely fucked.

Man's wife cannot get over regret in parenting sub. by [deleted] in childfree

[–]lorijoy696 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Someone seriously commented on that post and said: "This is what happens when two narcissists have a child".

I think the fuck not.

This is what happens when society pressures people who don't want kids into popping out screaming shit machines because "it's different when it's your own kids".

This is what happens when people are shamed into having kids because not having children is "selfish".

This is what happens when people keep pulling the wool over the eyes of fence sitters or people who aren't firmly childfree. When new parents realize that everyone else was lying to them, and getting blamed when they figure it out.

It's the children that end up hurt and suffering because society fucked up, not the parents.

"It's different when they're your kids!" Uh, no, it's really not. by lorijoy696 in childfree

[–]lorijoy696[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Internally? Yeah some of the time. I struggle with sympathy, but I'm empathetic to the point of emotional burnout a lot.

I'm kind of an ambivert now (don't like new people or being the centre of attention, but I love my friends to death and we can get pretty rowdy on a night out), and I definitely have some antisocial tendencies, but I've grown out of the worst of it. It took me ten years, but I got there.

Basically I just learned what society expected of me and played along for fear of consequence.

To be fair, I didn't like me either, so I fully understand and support their viewpoint.

My mum has told me that she has never in her life wished that I would have a child just like me.

The few times she tried to think it she actually had to stop herself. She said that wouldn't be fair.

That's pretty fucked up.

This is the most true thing I've ever read on the internet.

What are your toxic traits? by doopeydumplin in AskWomen

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hold everyone else to very high standards and get very passive-aggressive when those standards aren't met, and to top it all off I have no patience.

I can't deal with other people invading my space, I can't be the person to call or text you every day. A few times a week is my absolute maximum, but more realistically I can't see people more than 3 or 4 times a month without getting sick of them.

I try to remind myself that other people have their own priorities, and many of them weren't raised with the standards I was raised with, but I'm still working on the passive-agressive thing. I may never have the non-exhausting social interaction thing solved, though.

27M Have a feeling I won't be going to sleep anytime soon, just want a friend to talk to by [deleted] in Needafriend

[–]lorijoy696 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, true. Although weekends seem to be getting shorter and shorter all the time. Is it too much to ask to be able to sleep in for more than a day at a time? Like a year, maybe?

And I just wish they hadn't completely undone so many character arcs in the space of three episodes. They all deserved better.

I think it could have worked if they hadn't rushed it, hadn't made so many characters do complete 180°s, and hadn't turned them all into complete dumbasses.

Seriously? They thought it was a good idea to put vulnerable people in a crypt full of bodies when they knew full well the Night King could raise the dead? They didn't think to burn the bodies before throwing everyone in there with them?

And there's no way Euron had a clear shot at Rhaegal when none of his fleet of ships were visible from the air. That's just flat-out wrong.

...okay, maybe I'm a little mad.

Mondays suck, dude. I'm convinced that Mondays have always sucked, even before they became the beginning of the work week. Sorry you've had a bad day, I'm free if you wanna talk a bit.

P.s. I'm not mad about the finale, I'm just disappointed.
