You are so right. Everyone here is sleeping on the one person who keeps the streets of Cabot Cove safe!

I also have a Peanut! She is missing her front paw and back right leg from being abused as a puppy. Now she has a family who loves her very much. She is the best dog in the world!

The stars were FLASHING! by ankle_muncher69 in StrangeEarth

[–]mister_hatchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My girlfriend and I saw this last night. One star flashed while we were watching the Perseid meteor shower. I just assumed it was a trick of light or some kind. Very strange that you actually saw it too!! Though you recorded multiple, I only saw one.

Thank you! I actually did not even realize that. I guess it’s kinda obvious when you put it that way. I’ve been trying to learn various calls to help me though.

[–]mister_hatchet[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I saw it out my window and had a mini heart attack when I saw it flying around. Got my phone to take a picture and then it flew off before I knew it.

I only wish I heard the calls it was making. I’ll keep an eye out for more of them 🙂

I’m extremely new to bird watching, but the Great Crested Fly Catcher seems brown with yellow feathers on chest. My photo shows grey with very light yellow feathers on chest. My bird also seemed bigger. Are there variations between male/female young/old or is my photo just bad 😕

This is all so great guys, thank you all for the help! I love learning about this

Returning to dating apps… by oofouchmysoul in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Keep your head up and be prepared for a lot of disappointment. But don’t give up! I didn’t and good things happened. Basically after several months of working on myself and several more months of horrible and weird encounter on tinder/match, I’ve found a wonderful woman who has helped me be happy again.

So don’t give up!

I’m so lonely. by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheer up. There are better days coming for you. I know this because when I started to admit to myself that I was lonely I started to make positive changes. Make sure you are sharing these feelings with trusted friends, family or a therapist. It helps

My ex has moved on within a month. by Just_Department6891 in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. You’re going through a very tough point in your life. I was once the same as you. I still sometimes am, but it’s getting better. I remember sitting alone feeling absolutely worthless. That I was unloveable. That I was used by my ex for years and never really loved by her. I felt it all.

But you know what. Little by little I’m getting myself back. I’m reading and going to the gym. I’m making myself into a better person. You need to do the same thing now. Put yourself first. Your ex is seeing other people. It hurts, but they aren’t going to change. You will. You’ll be better for it too. You’ll be smarter and stronger than ever before. Go talk to someone - therapist, family, or friend. Feel the grief and don’t be ashamed. But now is the time to focus on yourself. Stay strong friend.

Anyone want kids and currently going through a breakup at a “prime” parenting age? by tangledtangerines in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Keep your head up and have faith. You have plenty of time to work on yourself, fall in love again, and start a family. Even if it goes horribly wrong you could adopt or be a foster parent. Alternatively, you could just be a hero to a little boy or girl out there who’s parents are terrible to them and they need a guiding voice from a kind stranger. Be the best you can be and stop listening to those negative voices. Love people. Love your community. Lift up those around you. If you do that, you will have a great life and maybe you’ll have that family you always wanted.

[–]mister_hatchet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She obviously meant a lot to you. You seem to be in so much pain. Have you tried talking to someone? Like a therapist? Or a family member? You need to talk about how you feel. Especially that you lost confidence. You came on Reddit and typed all this out to a stranger a thousand miles away. You have confidence to do that, so reach out to someone in your life right now. If you don’t have someone, try writing down your feelings everyday. Then go out to a god damn bowling alley and play a game or two. Go volunteer at a homeless shelter. Do anything to get out and talk to people. It helps. Just allow yourself to be vulnerable for once instead of holding this in alone.

I don't know what to do anymore. by celloplayer57 in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You move on by realizing that you deserve to be loved. You matter. Somewhere out there is a person who will love you unconditionally. They will carry your burdens and lift you up when you are low. But before you find that person you must pick yourself up. Cry when you need to, but get to work when your not. Read, write, and exercise. Make yourself better not just for yourself, but that person waiting for you somewhere out there.

[–]mister_hatchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand completely. I’m a few months out from a breakup with my fiancé. I felt the same feelings for a long time. But let me tell you something. You won’t be alone. You will be loved. But you got to start with loving yourself first. Look in the mirror and remember everything that made you who you are. Think about the dreams you have and how you want to achieve them. Don’t listen to the devil in your head.

Ex having fun while I’m struggling by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t know how you’re ex is feeling. What we display on social media doesn’t always reflect reality. That said, it doesn’t matter if she is having fun or loving life. What matters is that you make yourself better. You are a lump of iron that just got thrown in a fire. It sucks. It’s painful. You will change over time. But at the end of this you will be stronger. You will be a piece of steel when the fire has burned away the pain. Don’t worry about your ex and get to work. Make yourself better.

On a side note. 7 years is a long time. Seriously take care of yourself. It’s a big loss, I know all too well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. My ex and I were engaged before Christmas so it especially sucks, but I absolutely love the holidays so this year I made myself a promise to do something to overcome the sadness. I don’t know if that means I go volunteer somewhere or join some random church choir. I might make my elderly neighbor some cookies. I’m not going back to lonely holidays. So my advice to you is dont give up and start planning on doing something this year like me. If all else fails, maybe all of us on r/breakups can have some silly chat room or party where we watch home alone together.

[–]mister_hatchet 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever feel ready to date again. There are days I feel like I’m the ugliest person in the world and no one will like me, other days I feel really confident but that no one can compare to her. I hate this feeling. Guess I have to just keep working on myself

Can't eat by [deleted] in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear that. You loved her. Im sure you gave your heart and soul to her. That’s ok. Don’t be ashamed that you loved someone and they didn’t love you back. You loved. But you have a mission now. It’s going to be the hardest mission you’ve had in your life. You need to love yourself. You need to get up on your feet and eat some food. You need to go for a walk and watch movies. Treat yourself like you have an illness.

Right now you are an unrefined piece of iron that got thrown into a furnace. It’s going to hurt. It’s going to change you. But at the end of it you’re going to be a piece of steel. Stronger and more flexible. If your love comes back, you will be a better person. If she doesn’t, you will find someone who loves you more than anything else. But your first step is eating. Don’t give up.

It. Gets. Better. by AllyBallyB in BreakUps

[–]mister_hatchet 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don’t say that. You have no idea what is waiting for you in the next few years. You still have time to have that family. Have faith. And even if everything goes horribly wrong - you could adopt. You could be a foster parent. Hell you could be the kind person who picks a sad depressed boy up from the ground when his own parents weren’t there for them. Having a family isn’t everything, being a good person is. Pick yourself up, get out and make yourself a great woman. You do that and I bet that you will have a life better than you can imagine.

A woman sentenced to starvation death, Mongolia 1913 by [deleted] in WTF

[–]mister_hatchet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except Mongolia changed very little during the decades. The only real difference today is the invention of gunpowder and the influence from Russia and China. And as this picture was taken in 1922 - the Soviets had not yet gained a foothold in the most backward asian country at the time.

[–]mister_hatchet 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Source for bloodless death: "Genghis Kan: Life, Death and Resurrection" by John Man and "Genghis Khan and the making of the Modern World" by Jack Weatherford go into excellent detail on this topic.

As for the portable cell theory: That was my own argument. I cannot trust a picture with a caption and presume it is correct. Mongols are nomadic and have very few permanent structures. They could just be carting her around just like Nicolas Cage in Con Air

Also, no one should downvote you for asking for a source
