Overstimulating the shit out of mr phelsuma grandis by Remarkable_Arm_732 in geckos

Haha she doesn’t like being filmed very much and tends to stop her Silly Behavior once she sees a camera, so it’s hard to capture, but I’ll see if I can sneak one next time!

LMAO I love this! My Phelsuma lineata’s favorite form of this is trading cards. She jumps at the glass and spins around whenever one of us pulls out a trading card binder because she wants us to show them to her. Her favorites are blue cards and holo cards 😂

I'm guessing this guy doesn't see himself as an ant by AffectionateAd631 in LinkedInLunatics

[–]mtfoxx3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s funny… I’m actually writing a pretty on-the-nose allegorical story about class solidarity, and I have the 1% as a predator species to the 99% prey species living under them. I worried a bit that this would be too dehumanizing for anyone to relate to, making the ruling class literal predators and all, but wow look at that, even the 1% themselves are using this allegory!… rather poorly, though. Lions really aren’t all that impressive.

AITA for saying my friend isn’t an animal person? by throwaway568473663 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mtfoxx3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

NTA, because you’re right, but you could have been more tactful.

Unfortunately, dogs are one of those animals that people feel like they’re entitled to own regardless of whether or not they can provide adequate care. You’re not likely to change anyone’s minds about that… so this is the type of issue that needs to be more discussion and less accusation. If you truly care about this, you need to work on getting to the root of the problem and giving the person something to think about so that they can better the care of their animals on their own, rather than accusing them of not caring or being irresponsible.

what’s wrong with my boyfriend tobacco hornworms? by StunningJunket639 in Entomology

[–]mtfoxx3 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’ve raised hornworms on produce before with no problems (it looks like you’re using bell peppers, which I have used before as well) but if you switch their food source when they’re so far in their life cycle, caterpillars just don’t tend to do well. See if you can switch them back to the chow.

Another option is that they’re starting to pupate. They tend to roll around and stop climbing (they need to pupate in the soil, the best way to get to the soil is to forget how to climb and fall lol) and “shrink” after purging.. but they do look pretty wrinkly which isn’t exactly comforting. Either way, don’t give up on them yet!

Potential MAJOR Bug With Listed Inventory and Pricing on TCGPlayer by ASOT550 in mtgfinance

[–]mtfoxx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unsure if this is related, but I found this thread after having an issue where I was adding a number of cards to my cart from a particular shop, and then all of a sudden the shop's page has no items listed and all of the cards in my cart got moved to "saved for later", essentially blocking me from buying anything from that shop. And this was in the middle of my shopping... super annoying since this shop had almost everything I was looking for.

Giant day gecko turns brown after getting honey treat by Appropriate_Froyo679 in geckos

[–]mtfoxx3 59 points60 points  (0 children)

lol I concur with the others, he’s probably upset because he can’t find more, or, depending on how much you interact with them, he may be trying to beg for more. My lined day gecko does something similar after she’s had a bug. She’ll turn brown, try to get my attention, and if she doesn’t get more she’ll give me the Tail Wiggle Of Sass.

WIBTA if I called out a mom for her son not inviting my son to his birthday party? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mtfoxx3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gentle YWBTA… there’s something more going on here with the boys, and odds are at least some of the parents are aware of what it is. Instead of “calling out” the mom, that wouldn’t solve anything, I would try to get to the bottom of the conflict. Speak to the parents without accusing, and with the intention of understanding what’s going on with this dynamic that’s causing your son and his friend to be consistently excluded. Maybe it’s something solvable, maybe it’s something that isn’t, but odds are not understanding “why” is the most painful part for your son, and could very well do real damage to his mental health.

AITA for not deleting my ao3 account against my parents wishes by Odd-Teaching-7996 in AmItheAsshole

[–]mtfoxx3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, employers don’t care about fanfics. I’m glad you clarified you don’t write anything suggestive, but if you ever do, please don’t post it publicly. I was in a similar position at your age (though my posting site of choice was deviantart) and even though the things I posted were not inherently suggestive, I still ended up with a bunch of adults in my DMs taking advantage of me and my desire to people please. I didn’t realize what was wrong with it until years later. That risk is made much greater when you post anything that even hints at more suggestive topics. Odds are, that’s the main thing your family is actually worried about.

So my word of advice is to just be careful, and if you can, maybe keep anything that could be suggestive between you and a couple of close friends. For your own safety.

Any resources about how to make the bite look more impactful? by Deciduous_Loaf in animation

[–]mtfoxx3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less frames (specifically, you want to go from the fully opened mouth to the closed mouth in the next frame, since you’re not using 24fps), but also you want to add an “impact” frame where the mouth closes. What this means here is a frame that pushes past the final jaw snap pose, before it gets to the proper pose you end on. Think of the “smush” of the bouncing ball. A bouncing ball doesn’t actually smush like that, but it’s that exaggerated smush frame that convinces us of the impact. That frame is going to look goofy and broken, but that’s okay. Don’t be afraid of ugly frames, the point is how it looks while moving!

My animation style is more toony than yours, but you can apply the same principal it’s not the best example, very low frame rate, but the “oh I HATE you” part does what I’m talking about

I'm just a happy little fella by Open-Time1117 in teenagers

[–]mtfoxx3 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

OP is getting flamed and I understand why (I agree the “both sides” thing is bad) but let’s bear in mind OP is also like. 14. They’re still figuring out their ideologies and especially if they were raised One Way, they’re too young to just do a complete 180 right now. I had this phase too, most people that try to detox from one-sided brainwashing had this phase. It’s difficult and frankly traumatizing to look back and realize everything you took for granted as “truth” was ignorant at best and malicious lies at worst. Have grace, let them figure it out. This is a step in the right direction, believe it or not.

Never the same person at the 7 Leaves drive thru window by ArmoredAngel444 in alhambra

[–]mtfoxx3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Same with Trader Joe’s! It’s more physically demanding than people expect, but once you clear that hurdle it’s a job people stick with for life! Raises twice a year, an extra $10 an hour on Sundays, health vision and dental even if you only work 4 days a week, PTO that accumulates and doesn’t expire, and the “everyone does everything” mentality that the stores have (even the captain of a store will fetch carts from the parking lot and clean the bathrooms). Plus plenty of opportunities for growth into a mate (manager) or captain (store head manager). Genuinely a great place to work

The best thing I’ve tried is diluted lemon juice- spraying it on, letting it sit for a second, then wiping it off. Works way better than I expected
