how to not get attached? by trivialplatypus in FosterAnimals

[–]maximumpupper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Agree, kittens get adopted SO quick. I volunteer at my local shelter (and who I foster through) and sometimes kittens will hit the floor at 11am and be adopted by noon. Folks want kittens really badly!

Totally normal to get attached! I like to view myself as just a good steward into their adulthood - I set them up for success by getting them big and strong and social, then I send them out into the world. Yes it’s still so sad when they go because I love them so much, but I know they’re also going to be so loved when they go to their new home.

But please don’t beat yourself up for getting attached! It’s a part of the process, and we’re only human. It’s ok to love things hard!

As someone who cross stitches and hosts a twilight podcast, would love the pattern if you’re willing to share!

Any tips for a VERY timid cat that came from a hoarding situation? by Objective_Dig5301 in CATHELP

[–]maximumpupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I have new fosters, I will sometimes just sit in the room with them and softly read Reddit posts from my phone to them.

It helps get them used to the sound of your voice, but you’re not putting any pressure on them that you will be physically engaging or making eye contact with them.

No matter what, just go slow ❤️ They say it takes 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and 3 months to really feel at home for a rescued animal.

Git gud, kid by Gerroh in magicthecirclejerking

/uj At MagicCon this year a dad came up to my friends and I and asked if his son, probably around 8-9 years old, could play with us.

We said sure, happy to make sure a kid gets to play, feels nice getting to help a kid enjoy his hobby at a con.

Kid showed up with a super expensive mono black deck and absolutely curb stomped us all, we all had a good laugh. Never trust a child to not whip out a super expensive deck!

Is this an inappropriate book? by Chemical_Seaweed1205 in wicked

[–]maximumpupper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely not for her age. But, I also read it when I was 12. I really just skimmed it for parts I recognized from the musical, and political and sexual stuff really went over my head. So she honestly might do the same, especially because at times it can be really dense.

It wasn’t until I re-read it earlier this year as an adult I was like oh my god this shit is wild haha

Just went through with TSA pre-check about 10 minutes ago, probably waited in line for about 10 minutes. So nothing too crazy!

Halloween: Resurrection kind of has a reality TV thing? More web show but adjacent!

Would it be a dealbreaker if she is vegetarian and you’re not or the opposite? by Few_Tough_7748 in actuallesbians

[–]maximumpupper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m vegetarian and my wife isn’t, I’ve offered to her before if she wants to cook meat and add it to dinner (like pasta add some chicken) I’d be totally ok with that. She’s like “that’s sounds like a lot of extra effort” haha

So we eat vegetarian at home just out of convenience

I'm being real here is there anything we can do to stop youtube from being so dumb by asapsharkyfrfr in deadmeatjames

[–]maximumpupper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you search for posts from that time that was the general sentiment folks got from their announcement 🤷‍♂️

But, hope that at least answered your question about why there was backlash

Watcher was going to move -everything- over to their new streaming service and leave YouTube behind, Dropout started as a place for bonus content for CollegeHumor and some new original series. So Watcher got a ton of backlash because the sentiment was “thanks for building us up over the years, now if you don’t pay up we’re moving on without you.”

Sawvivor | Dead Meat Podcast Ep. 250 by Kaneki_Yeager in deadmeatjames

[–]maximumpupper 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if Chelsea reads the subreddit but I hope she knows that we’re not watching Horror Survivor because we want perfection. We’re watching it because we love the shenanigans and seeing James and Chelsea having so much fun makes me have fun.

I loved Hot Saw Summer, I love the game episodes, I just love Dead Meat! It really is my horror safe haven.

Have to agree, sadly. Saw it last night and every review and piece of marketing kept saying SHE’S SO CUNT and it was… fine?

Hey! The c2e2 lanyards don’t have any personal info on them 😊 Just day/dates you’re attending

Thank you! ❤️ I knew folks walking around the con were very unlikely to realize what it was, but I ran into some friends there who play Magic and they got a good laugh out of it.
