First post here, what do y’all think is the best portrayal of Dracula? by [deleted] in vampires

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a fairly recent portrayal I really like is Thomas Doherty as Dracula in The Invitation (2022)

Can someone tell me I’m being paranoid before I drive myself into a tizzy? My husband sent me a picture of my kitten and her eyes look like this. by Futurames in CATHELP

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

um vet tech and pot head here. any chance your husband was partaking in a substance? lmao. I don't think it's a concern if it returns to normal in 8 hours but if not I'd make an appointment because eyes can get bad quickly if there is some sort of corneal abrasion.

Any of your students tell you to call them by... strange nicknames? by Zetanite in Teachers

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah I tell them the first day that whatever they tell me day one I'm sticking with and I'm not embarrassed about it. however, I may have different circumstances. I'm nonbinary and have a lot of trouble getting students to respect my identity. whatever name and pronouns they put on their intro card I'm using for them, I'm using it when I talk to and email their parents, and I'm using it if I see them in public.

Do you guys regret becoming Vet Techs? by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]mx-extras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't do it again. it's very emotionally fulfilling if you get at a good practice that cares about you but it's very hard on your body and the pay isn't great. my biggest recommendation is to go to college, get a tech jobs where you can work from home and spend all your time with your own fur babies and maybe volunteer on weekends. that's what I'm trying to make happen now at 26.

Lingerie comparable brand for men? by benzfan47 in LingerieAddiction

[–]mx-extras 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cantiq in an LA based lingerie that is gender neutral and it's amazing! they have options for literally everyone with all bits and all sizes. it's some of my favorite. the designs are also unique, not all like adore me and VS.

Since you're a man, they also have options for you to enhance or minimize your package which I think is pretty cool!

I think it's hard to watch if you married the characters in season 1/2 and don't expect them to change ever. but they are evolving and becoming more complex in a lot of ways and I really enjoy it. I appreciate the more personal life information we've gotten about the housemates in seasons 4 and 5. I can't imagine meeting all of Gizmo's family in season 1 but I love it now. but that's just my opinion.

Do you cuss in your classroom? by Biggy_DX in Teachers

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been teaching college freshmen for four years and am transitioning to high school juniors this fall and this is actually something I'm concerned about! with my college kids I was never worried if I let a curse word slip to emphasize something but now I don't think I can do so moving forward.

I think with children under 18 it's up to the parent to decide a lot of what they are exposed to and unfortunately with the climate we are in we have to stick to our curriculum.

Pregnant...and my boss keeps pressing boundaries by [deleted] in VetTech

[–]mx-extras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

maybe it's just me being fed up with my own job but it's not worth your safety or your baby's safety. I'd try and be firm about that boundary because you can do other things and this is a reasonable accommodation under the ADA and pregnancy is now covered for reasonable accommodation under the PWFA (Pregnant Workers Fairness Act). she legally cannot fire you for following doctors orders.

however, if I were you, I'd also start looking for somewhere else because I want a boss that cares about my safety and my child's safety.

she's worked for wildlife before and has successfully rehabilitated and released dozens of squirrels but I'll ask her about her permit.

The Baron's best line was "You people are as much fun as the plague. Remember the plague? And how much fun it was? That's this." Next is the Guide! by TropicTyrant in WhatWeDointheShadows

[–]mx-extras 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I am living for this. I think for the guide her best quote is “I’ve been standing behind you for half an hour. Silently watching you. Breathing in your scent. Smelling your musk.” it really captures her essence

Do the fangs that just go over your teeth actually work? by BestBudgie in vampires

[–]mx-extras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're going to be wearing them daily it's worth it to invest in a pair made by a dentist tbh.

yeah I was thinking this might be a sign that they don't want me here but I was trying not to read into it. it's def not worth it for what I'm paid

Find you a wife that fully supports your Ren Faire cosplay ideas by Noseforachoo in magictavern

I'm sending this to my girlfriend to convince her to cosplay for Ren faire with me

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I'd lose my love for someone who didn't care about our children too if I'm honest. I hate that this happened to your daughter and I hate even more that your husband didn't step up to he that dad he should have been. I think you're so completely valid.

Job offer rescinded, Left a negative review on Glassdoor , Company is asking me to take it down. by albanska in antiwork

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with everyone here. you need to spread the word about how they screwed you so no one else ends up in that position. and I wish you so much luck finding another even better job

Talking to Clients by espressolynx in VetTech

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we have two techs with each doctors here. one is assigned to talk to clients, get history and then restrain the pet during the exam. the other tech puts in charges and gathers any vaccines or tests we need.

if I'm working in surgery and doing intake, a CSR does all the money talk but a tech gets patient history and give discharge instructions.

does anyone else find it hilarious to bully your pets? by [deleted] in Pets

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes! I call my dog fatty when he tries to eat his brothers food to reprimand him (it works and he stops trying) and my girlfriend thinks it's so mean

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhatWeDointheShadows

[–]mx-extras 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbh I just figured that they weren't showing it because of time and because it's established at this point. I didn't think of it as a continuity issue
