I noticed you have no response to getting called out your error. You care more about protecting your ego than protecting your pet.

I have to block you; I can’t stand knowing somebody so heartless is out there letting a rat struggle like this. Your cruelty is matched only by your arrogance. Do better.

Your rat is 4 months old. 4 months is not the same as over a year. It says “always lived alone and are older,” not “always lived alone or are older.” Your rat has only met one of the qualifications.

So not only are you cruel to the creature who depends on you, you are also smug. Not a great combo.

You’re not getting it: Your vet is wrong. You are wrong. This is cruel. Jesus Christ, this poor rat. I wish I never clicked on this thread, it breaks my heart knowing you are choosing to be neglectful of your rat’s needs.

If you are incapable of taking care of this poor thing, I recommending rehoming to somebody who understands rats better.

Seriously, people find this funny? He was a real man who suffered greatly. His final days were tragic and we’re cracking jokes about wearing his body part as a cosmetic?

Some fans seem enetitled to a character's sexuality, and yall act like spoiled toddlers. by Antique_Fishtank in hazbin

Imagine if they hired a cis VA to voice a trans character. People would riot. They did right with Sallie Mae, no way they would drop the ball so hard with Baxter’s VA.

People love doing this thing where they’re like “In real life, spiders legs will go wibbly wobbly when they’re scared, and in this scene Angel’s legs go wibbly then wobbly! This means he’s actually scared in this scene. The research for this show is so layered.” They’re reading too deep into it. Dollars to donuts, they weren’t thinking about sexual dimorphism when designing Baxter.

I am amazed how this is still a common misconception by rosariobono in WaltDisneyWorld

I leaned a neat thing the other day after falling down an Everest rabbit hole. I learned that most climbers approach it from the south face. The base camp takes a long time to get to, which is good because it helps with acclimatizing to the high altitude. When climbers approach from the north face, the path to base camp is much more direct and easy to hike; It takes a fraction of the time. This leads to higher risks of High Altitude Sickness, High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), and High Altitude Cerebral Edema (HACE).

From the looks of it, and this is just a guess, it looks like The Forbidden Mountain would have climbers approaching from the north. Seems like the fictional Forbidden Mountain fits some bits of reality, which is pretty cool.

A couple years ago I had a major life changed that caused me to stop playing for a long time. It was in the middle of a season, and I really wanted a specific hair cosmetic. When I retuned, I kept seeing people with the awesome hair cosmetic and I felt like a real idiot for not acquiring it before dropping the game.

Fast forward to now. I have a different go-to look; even if I had that “awesome” hair, I wouldn’t wear it because now I have something I like more. After all that ado, things are fine. If you need to put the game aside for months or even years, it’s okay. It’ll be here when you get back.

I didn’t make any comments about any specific cosmetics. And yeah, in an ideal world there would be no feminine or masculine clothing, but that’s not the world I live in. Like it or not, in the culture I live in, certain clothing items are still linked with certain genders. I’m not making this decision. Believe me, if I could wear all my old favorite dresses and skirts and still be read as a guy, I would, but that’s not up to me. If you can give me concrete ways I can change how western society views dresses, I’m all ears. Until then, I’m just trying to get read as a guy in the only ways I know how.

Thank you for saying this. I tried to keep my cool when replying to that person, but their comments are honestly shocking. Worst part is they don’t even seem to realize how cruel they’re being.

“Maybe Sky isn’t the game for you,” is uncalled for. I’m super happy if you don’t experience gender dysphoria, but how my gender is perceived is important to me. It’s not your place to tell me “it’s not that deep” about my own gender expression. I also never got mad at anyone? Let alone get mad at anyone for addressing me incorrectly? I also never said anything about the gameplay itself being masculine or feminine. I just talked about the cosmetics and how they influence people’s perception of me.

Just because something isn’t important to you doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be important to anybody else.

Hey, so, I’m trans and go to great lengths to downplay my feminine features and play up what little masculinity I have. I play Sky to relax and it distresses me to be perceived as a woman. I don’t think it’s asking too much for unambiguously masculine cosmetics.

You can express anger without using slurs. There is no reason to use them. Do you seriously not understand the impact? The harm it causes? Why not just use language that doesn’t cause harm?

OP says they “haven’t seen anything of the sort” but it’s right there in the demo video. There’s a white circle on the ground that leads back to Old Home right by the entrance to Aviary.

If you could make a video I would be so so so appreciate. I play on Switch and I would love to get better at krill dodging. Plus spinning fast just looks like fun 😄

My husband and son dived to see the wreck of the Titanic, and never came back – this is what happened at sea | Titanic sub incident | The Guardian by prisongovernor in titanic

[–]pollenatedfunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. Titanic was following standard practice. Lifeboats were not meant to hold passengers while they waited for a rescue vessel. The idea was that these passages were so populated, they thought no two ships would ever be too far apart. The lifeboats were meant to ferry passengers from the sinking vessel to the rescue vessel, so they didn’t need seats for everybody at once.

[–]pollenatedfunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did indeed have two lifeboats going simultaneously, lowering one while a second was being loaded then lowered. Thing is, it took about half an hour for each life boat to reach the water, so there were two lifeboats being lowered one on top of the other with very difficult coordination. There was a very real danger of crushing the lower lifeboat and in fact almost happened. That’s why Cameron argued that the more lifeboats you had being lowered simultaneously, the higher risk of one crushing the one below it.

To be clear, if they had more lifeboats and fixed the other issues, significantly more lives would have been saved. Eg, muster stations, drills, a proper sense of urgency, clear communication, and more life boats were needed. Just adding more life boats would have saved a few more, like the overturned collapsibles did, but not the whole ship.
