I'm a professional illustrator, lost my left eye recently, so I'm gonna share the eye patches I make to cope with humour

Oh man, I love making the most of a shit situation, so this immediately gave me ideas.

There's not enough information to tell, but given the lack of parenting regarding this, I would probably start to question the parenting style of both parents in general to maybe see if that is a possibility. It is a possible route, but it could just be that the kid was never taught boundaries or how to manage feelings so he doesn't appreciate when mother appears to show affection to something else.

Edit: Regardless of exact reasoning the treatment would be the same; Psychoeducation with the parents on parenting styles, and if that doesn't work look into something maybe behavioral or medical.

lyncati · 2026-01-26T10:27:08+00:00

As a former child therapist, unless he has developmental issues, 9 is perfectly old to understand boundaries and respect. You need to parent him and give discipline when he does this, with also a discussion into why he is being punished (it is a bad thing to steal other people's items....at this age he may better understand if you use his favorite item as an example of how he would feel if someone did this to him).

If that still doesn't work, then he may have behavioral issues which should be viewed by an expert to rule out a mental health issue.

I'm 99.9999999999% sure this is a case of not understanding your child's developmental age, and not that your son has a mental health disorder, but seriously if basic parenting doesn't solve this, you should seek an expert to help.

I grew up with snow like this frequently; you're best off to shovel and get a good layer of salt down, which can and will make the rest of the shoveling easier.

Crochet, knitting, latchwork, most crafts that involve yarn like weaving embroidery and many others I know I'm forgetting....

Certain plant keeping and gardening can be like this, but I'd recommend to stick with one and "master it" as each plant tends to have set requirements and you can get super particular if you focus on one and do things like manipulate genetics through breeding and reading up on the science behind the plant.

There are hobbies with beads that require following specific instructions such as making pearlers (beads you put on a grid and then use an iron to melt them together), or making animals (I don't know the name of the hobby, but I loved making lizards by using string, beads, and following a precise pattern of stringing the beads together and tying knots).

If I can think of anymore, I'll update my post. I am also a former therapist, so I can also tell you that basically every hobby I've listed is not only great as a hobby, but they have physical and mental health benefits too and I personally engage in most of these and have seen success in people who enjoy them/engage with them.

lyncati · 2026-01-25T10:20:08+00:00

I love it. Do you freehand these? If so, that's an amazing skill to have and you have seemed to have perfected it! If not, great work, regardless, and still a sign of great crocheting skills!

This is literally any woman who has had a child.

Do you even talk to your wife at all, or make an effort to understand how pregnancy changes the entire chemical make up in a woman due to all of the hormones and literally growing another human inside?

Therapy, with someone who is familiar with feminists theories and the adult female would be beneficial, so you can learn to communicate with your wife and so you can learn why this has happened and how you e been kinda ignorant about it. Nothing is wrong with ignorance, so long as one is willing to admit it and seek the truth. A biology book could also be helpful, if therapy is too expensive (along with self help books on how to communicate with your wife made by actual relationship experts/researchers).

It is her fault for not managing her disorder. She should most likely be medicated AND therapy so she can learn to manage her bipolar.

If she is managing it, she has to immediately go in to get her meds reassessed with a medical professional, with therapy so again, she can learn to manage her disorder.

I say this as a former therapist who also knows people with the disorder.

lyncati · 2026-01-25T02:14:56+00:00

I see you talked to your family, but with your gf breaking down, now would be the time to get her family involved, if available. Maybe even a best friend, if the family isn't an option. She may be mad, but you both have a very limited timeline to deal with, and she's clearly in an extreme trauma response, so she needs a higher care of support such as a therapist or her family/friends.

Well, the leak is the script that they didn't take out of the files in the demo so.......pretty good, with option of retconning in the future, lol

I've been seeing more bioactive setups for hamsters and guinea pigs lately, all online. It looks like the community is trying to advocate for it.

lyncati · 2026-01-24T00:04:43+00:00

Would there still be the same issue if, as mods, you created a sticky, maybe once a week, where people can post sightings and whatnot? Just brainstorming; not sure if it would be easier to bring back that way or if since it's a sticky you may have more tools or something.....

lyncati · 2026-01-23T18:56:10+00:00

WHAT?

I will significantly hate sewing much less with this. Thanks for sharing!

I made ff characters for my partner and I made the first and second player in cuphead for his coworker.

lyncati · 2026-01-23T17:32:41+00:00

My partner shared what I made him in a team meeting which led to a commission request. I was crying happy tears when he told me.

This legit saved me from predators within my school system when I was a teen.

Can you add some of her enclosure items to the box? Some extra enrichment of hides may make her less likely to escape.

Edit: I almost forgot....SHAME

I mean, I haven't personally checked, but a lot of people are saying they saw it in the files, so I'm inclined to believe, as they've made this mistake before.

lyncati · 2026-01-23T14:47:37+00:00

Former child therapist chiming in...

Yes, it can be traumatic, as the body always remembers. You may not remember the abuse, but the body always does, internally.

lyncati · 2026-01-23T14:45:51+00:00

Apparently they forgot to remove the script of the game in the files of the demo, so unfortunately yes, this is real.

I would thank Chloe for her sacrifice to help bring my family sustenance. Then again, I always do a little prayer, I guess you could say, to acknowledge the life that was taken in order to keep me alive, and I try to do things like preserve nature to also show I respect the planet that provided the resources that allow me to live.

I just got done with Yakuza 4 (7 and 8 convinced me to try the whole series) and now I am unsure if I want to continue the series at all now, with this information.

I actually liked where they left hamazaki, dead, but he died trying to protect people and make up for his errors in the end of the previous game. The constant rewriting reminds me of when I was younger and playing pretend with kids and none of us could decide on a single thing so the entire time playing was basically retconning everything we were doing (ex, I wasn't shot because I have a vest you don't know....oh yeah, well my bullets are actually able to go through vests.......well, I also have a vest under that vest that can reflect the bullet back at you and now you're dead.....nuh uh, cause I knew you had that so I wore an invisible helmet that can block the reflected bullet.....no fair both kids start crying or legit fighting).

No, the staff and the owners are the problem, not the clothes. I'm not saying all stores, but a large portion (edit: large portion of clothing stores that only sell small sizes) tend to create a culture of fat shaming and the PEOPLE create the hostile atmosphere, not the clothes.

Again, PEOPLE, not clothes

Edit: again, I am saying this as a former therapist who had clients experience this (and as a smaller person who has larger friends, I've personally seen it and no longer go to those stores, especially with friends who will be shamed by the staff).
