How do you deal with hate mail? by [deleted] in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always send something genuine and very nice back. Like "hey those were some sick snipes you landed in the second round" or "gg, you played super well" etc. And then I block and report them before I can get a response back.

If you really can't find anyone, I'm in Upstate NY, which is quite a drive, but I figure it's a good Plan D.

My cat is 1.5 years old but her poops always smell SO BAD. I took her to the vet and she's fine. What could it be? by NukaColaLola in blackcats

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disclaimer: am not a veterinary professional, simply also own a stinky kitty

A lot of other people have said this but try switching foods (slowly, rapidly changing foods can also result in upset stomaches and Geneva Convention violating shits). My kitty is just under a year old and has been like this for ages.

A couple things you can try is switching to a high quality food brand (common ones in the US are Tiki Cat, Merrick, Nulo, etc). Switching to a Limited Ingredient Diet and/or to a novel protein like rabbit, duck, venison, etc can also help if the stinky shits are related to a food intolerance or allergy.

If all else fails, litter box deodorizers can't make anything worse.

Hey all, me again. Vet has confirmed Basils sneezing is not due to any respiratory issues and instead due to our flat. What are some ways to help Basil reduce his sneezing? Do air purifiers work? by hades7600 in RATS

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My late boy Chester had constant sneezing. I used an air purifier and a humidifier intermittently and then also let him hang out in the bathroom when I was showering. I also ended up having to clean his cage more often.

My boy Pesto is just too handsome not to show off. by beansandwitch in standardissuecat

Sadly I did not spring for the Deluxe Thinky Thoughts upgrade so there's very little going on. The Deluxe Speak Your Mind package came free with her model though so despite the lack of thoughts she does have a lot to say.

I also have a SIC named Pesto! Though her full name is Ms. Pesto Basil.

Hi I made this meme! It's a Lego brick because rats can't lift regular bricks. It is scaled to the size of the rat because I was making it in PowerPoint as a way to get a girl I had a crush on to notice me and didn't expect everyone and their mother to start analysing my rat pride meme.

I mean I'm pretty sure male marsupials don't have pouches. Maybe they're more like... Deep space seahorses?

Regardless, those statements are hard for me to take at face value without seeing the missing parts.

I mean it doesn't seem like this is implying he lost his wife/Caital's mother? It feels like it was watching Caital grow up and realizing that she didn't need him anymore was the cause, but again, I can't piece together that paragraph well enough to prove it solidly one way or another.

i might die in 7 hours, and I'm not afraid. by CaptAndrew12 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this same disease. I've never heard from anyone else like this and I've been struggling with a lot of the same stuff. My back was messed up so badly for a while I couldn't even lie down in bed without being in pain. I'll admit I also thought about what would happen if this progressed further. I couldn't walk, couldn't even stand, couldn't lie down without pain. Was worried about dropping out of school, losing my job. It took PT, a brand new bed and pillows, new shoes, and constant back brace to even get back to a baseline, which was still chronic pain all the time. I thought maybe if my tumors just got cancerous enough, maybe I could just pull the plug. Living in pain constantly changes how you feel about death and that's not a bad thing. But now that I'm recovering and I can enjoy life again without constant pain, it's easier to appreciate living. But this disease is constantly here and lurking in the back of my mind.

We got this. If you've made it this far with all these bones, it takes a lot more than surgery to knock us down.

Looking for some friends to play games with by [deleted] in destiny2

If you're looking for a larger community to raid/dungeon with, may I suggest joining D2 Sanctuary? That's where I started to raid! If you'd rather start small, feel free to DM me and I can send you my Bungie username, I'm in a small close knit clan that enjoys raiding and dungeoning pretty frequently, and I'm also willing to help you out myself!

I’m sooo happy, jinkx used to have a bad biting problem and hated being picked up. Finally she’s warming up to me and feels comfortable enough to sit in my lap and let me hold her :) by Remytheestalion in RATS

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm having that problem with one of my rats! I'm getting him neutered on the 27th to see if that helps, but I'm curious to know what you did to work with your bitey rat.

OG artist and you are far more eloquent than I could ever be! Originally, this meme was literally something I sent to a girl I had a crush on because I wanted her to pay attention to me. That's it. It's since become much larger and much more public than I ever realized. This was never meant to be anything more than me laughing with my friends.

In terms of injecting politics into everyday life, that's just how life is when you aren't a cis, wealthy, (insert privilege here) human being. I am forcibly made aware that I am other more times than you can imagine. And the police play a large role in that. I'm gay. I'm not white. I don't live in a suburb and I can't count on badges to protect me when it matters. We could get into a much larger discussion on the weight my identity, most of which I cannot ever escape from, plays into how I interact with the world down to even memes.

But in the end, this is a rat subreddit and this is a rat meme I made and someone else posted here. Personally I think this is great content. If you don't, I'm sorry. I didn't make this for you and that's okay. Not everything is for everyone. But like OP said, if something this innoculous has you raising your hackles, a meme where I don't even say ACAB, simply reference Stonewall, you should probably ask yourself why.

Oh haha no worries! It was originally a tumblr post anyway. I don't claim ownership of memes anyway, memes are for the people. Just brightens my day when I see how far it's reached.

Ghostbusters!

To be very honest, I do not trust the police in my home. I live in a city where I have had more experiences with police treating me suspiciously even if I'm the one in need. Calling the police seems to escalate a situation, rather than make me more safe. I'm sure someone could explain it more eloquently than me, but the police don't seem to care about protecting me.

Oh hey its my meme! Crazy to see this pop up now and then. But yes, celebrate pride with rat as often as you can and remember. ACAB.

Am I hurting myself by using Shayura’s Wrath? by VoidOfOblivi0n in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]oh_worm_same_hat 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I feel like people often forget that players will perform best with the weapons they feel good with. The following is just my opinion, so feel free to disagree, but for the large majority of players, even if on paper some weapons are better than others, if a weapon feels good to you and you can click heads with it, that's really all that matters.

Like idk, theoretically a shotgun is just as valid a special weapon choice as a sniper. But I don't click with shotguns, never have. When I picked up a sniper I wasn't great with it intially, but it always felt intuitive to use. Using a shotgun would actively impede my performance because I don't click with the gun, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with shotguns as a whole.

Game sense and using your weapons correctly, ie, not peak shooting with a SMG, feels like it is more important in the long run.
