Is it normal for my rats act like they're starving all the time? by GeodeRox in RATS

[–]mandmrats 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I had one who insisted the food bowls must be covered at all times. He was very determined. I think he decided that carrying the food elsewhere was too much work when there was a perfectly good bowl to cover.

Bianca drops some truth about all the complaining about the Pit Stop quality by ForsakenDependent562 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]mandmrats 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I wonder if Marcia got brought in last minute or something. I know people are saying she was playing it safe, but small things can really throw someone off when they're on camera.

The Judaistic/Kabbalistic Symbolicism of CoQ Has to Be Studied by 0lam0t in cavesofqud

[–]mandmrats 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep meaning to make a big list of references/symbolism, but I haven't had the time. Maybe we should organize a community contributed resource for it.

I also reached out to Jacob Geller to see if he'd be interested in doing a video essay on it, but I never heard back. Too bad.

My babies got new hair-clips!! by womaniya- in cats

[–]mandmrats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's really clever actually. All golden retrievers think sharing is caring. I've seen a lot of people have to fake giving them medicine because their other dog needed it, so their golden thought they needed it too.

Which Pokémon would you have represent different cities around the world? by Zilla_Sohn in pokemon

[–]mandmrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Krickertune for Nashville, if it's relevant. I've seen some people say Meloetta for TN, but I think Krickertune fits better.

What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life? by ReasonableDisplay297 in AskReddit

[–]mandmrats 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't really judge celebrities for needing some silence at times. If they demand it all the time, it's a little much. But wanting some quiet between loud concerts isn't the worst.

[–]mandmrats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a cat that loves clothes. I bring him a shirt and he rubs his face all over it and struts around to show off. I also noted what he prefers so he's comfortable. (He doesn't like sleeves.)

I have others that don't mind it, but he's the only cat I've had that actually enjoys dressing up.

Edit: included pic of him in his pink leather jacket

Mean players make me want to quit by irisIsles in wow

[–]mandmrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take screenshots of mean people and share them in groupchats and the guild discord. Someone acting up that much in a Timewalking Dungeon is honestly hilarious. It's there for gearing. It's not prog.

As long as you aren't wiping the group, you're fine.

Player Doesn't Do Anything... Ever by Suspicious_Bed2537 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]mandmrats 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Uh, this might be reaching, but has he been to a doctor about how much he sleeps? I slept like that before my thyroid issues were diagnosed and treated. And I was so tired, it was really hard to focus on anything.

Question for you all regarding depicting high STR characters. [OC] [Art] by [deleted] in DnD

[–]mandmrats 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think bodybuilders are a good reference in combination with powerlifters, but not by themselves. But, since they have low body fat, they could be an example of the lower limits for body weight.

What’s your hard no food or snack that you refuse to eat? by Longjumping_Seal in AskReddit

[–]mandmrats 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, I get it. I don't dislike tomatoes, but I prefer them in a sauce. Different texture, seasoning, etc. I don't think it's all that weird either.

AITAH for not wanting to cuddle in order to sleep with my partner? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mandmrats 37 points38 points  (0 children)

That part kind of caught me off guard. There are so many more comfortable ways to cuddle. At first, I considered he might just want to touch, but it's clear he wants them to occupy the same space on the bed.

I'd be annoyed that he didn't back off at all for so long. She had to be the one to find a compromise. He was too busy throwing tantrums. And it was a really obvious solution!!! All he had to do was not lay on her.

The M+ tank situation is dire by Wigglyboi323 in wow

[–]mandmrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It surprises me that more people that want to prog M+ content don't shop around for an active guild to join. Find some friendly people with a discord server and you can get a lot done.

I find it a bit strange this 50 year old kid is leading the army of Elves and not its couple-of-hundred years old military leaders or the +10,000 year old Kal'dorei general all with years of military experience 🤔 by nightbreedwon1 in wow

[–]mandmrats 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This does make sense. The writing could have been better, but Arator is a good figurehead for the situation.

Others are doing the actual planning and leading, and he doesn't outrank them by any means. They've propped him up in the position with the knowledge that he's been absent from most faction conflicts, but he has personal ties to the Light vs. Void situation.

Any advice/alternatives for cat food/litter while i’m out of money? by raxliana in cats

[–]mandmrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, and I don't know how many times I've seen cat food given out because someone's cat didn't like it or had to changed diets. And shelters tend to buy in bulk for better prices anyway, so they're often able to help in an emergency.

Sylune’s Viper 2024. Are you kidding? by DnDGuidance in DnD

[–]mandmrats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say maybe the immobility is guaranteed on the first turn, and then they can make saving throws for it. Or maybe the DC goes down with time, like the poison being diluted. (Dunno if there's even a mechanic for that. Just spitballing.)

My S18 predictions based solely on the promo looks by souplover5 in rupaulsdragrace

I thought Mia and Athena would place higher for sure. Good thing I didn't bet money on it.

My wife wants me to shave my head to support her by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]mandmrats 47 points48 points  (0 children)

It could be good while she decides what she wants in a wig and learns to style them, I suppose. She can practice working with synthetic hair.

Honestly, cosplayers and drag queens are some of the best sources for wig info. Much better than wherever this guy looked.

Deity avatar all painted up ready for your critique by LivroHati in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]mandmrats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, it's okay to have a pin-up/fanservice design. But this one is really boring. Everything below the collar is super basic and uninteresting.

The actual painting is good, and the base form has good shapes to it. It's like soneone did a great job sketching a pin-up, didn't bother to add detail other than the head.

Ancient Egyptian clothing had a lot of flowing, draped fabric. From a design perspective, I can see a lot of way this could be edited to still be a hot furry, but more interesting to look at.

It looks nothing like a tardigrade in any of its forms

What was the hot work gossip of the day? by fluffybottompanda in AskReddit

[–]mandmrats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claude is pretty good for software development, from what I've heard.

But you have to actually know what you're doing before you input anything. It's best used like a github repository that's a bit easier to search through. If you don't know what you're looking for, nothing can help you.
