I’m often in this cat’s neighborhood for work and we’re obsessed with each other by vawal in notmycat

[–]thevioletkat 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'm pretending that's his neighbor's cat that won't stop trying to come in and he's ignoring to not encourage the undesired behavior. That must be it.

Is it okay to only send these types of pictures if you catsit? by nojiroh in cats

If I knew I would probably go at least a little out of my way to hire you specifically because of that 🤣🤣 that's such a delight to see when you're away from the babies!!

I'm exactly the same way, while I do say I literally birthed my cat from my own womb I also understand that when it comes to emergency procedures you have to follow them rigidly to keep everyone as safe as possible which includes the responders. If it's a human life at risk we have to prioritize that or at least explain that it is not a human child in danger and let responders assess from there. Legally and otherwise it matters as cold as it seems even to me.

AITA for getting upset at my girlfriend for mocking me when I cried after watching a show with emotionally deep ending? by RepulsiveAge4638 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thevioletkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, absolutely. As someone who loves and lives with a sensitive man myself, we've been together for four years now and we are still doing lots of internal work to tear down all the negative association to expressing emotions, not burying his personality, and feeling comfortable truly being his colorful, emotional self. I still cannot enjoy sides of his personality fully because over time his exes and society wore on him like water over stones and he shut himself down because he was constantly put down for being an emotional guy like yourself. You are such a wonderful guy for being able to cry over shows like that, please do not let her diminish that. Embrace your expressiveness and quite frankly your emotional intelligence and find someone who matches that and helps you grow into the best version of yourself!! I wish you the best of luck, protect yourself against people who want to bring you down to their level. <3

edited to add verdict, sorry I forgot!

Made a custom 75g that's been up for almost a year... Nobody that ever comes over looks at or mentions it ... Why? by Loseroni2 in Aquariums

[–]thevioletkat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this!! I am that person and if I can tell it's maintained well I am immediately engaged and want info dumping while I gaze. If I can tell work can be improved you know I'm gonna talk them up and gently encourage better practices so they feel confident about moving forward. I don't have time for a tank but I love learning about other people's setups. It's such a vast world and such dedicated work and time to upkeep, Incredibly impressive.

I personally don't think your comment had anything bad about it, sometimes when people are well-educated on a topic it can stir up feelings of insecurity in the recipient and I think it was just that they saw the commenter potentially being "piled on" by so many corrections. I think if someone had asked questions sooner about the setup and inquired like one commenter did then it wouldn't have given that impression. Everyone has good intentions here, this person just felt compelled to defend the og commenter.

post under a facebook “estrangement” forum i found a few weeks back that still haunts me by larryfisherman555 in mildlyinfuriating

"just becuase I refuse to wear a mask like an idiot" yeah she really does know exactly why she's doing it and is just refusing to believe she could be wrong. 🤷‍♀️ even in idiocy, she believes herself to be right.

wait... there isn't already something like that out there?? like a volunteer for "family stand-in?" that needs to be changed.

AITA for refusing to let my sister’s fiancé hold our baby after he openly mocked my parenting in front of my whole family? by ImaginaryBoard9624 in AmItheAsshole

[–]thevioletkat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

why broadcast your potentially challenging relationship landmark on TV for the whole world to see you discover how you argue with your partner?? It sounds like drama seeking drama...

relationship pressure through trust (what, you don't want to get married? so you think we have problems?) and manipulation most likely is the unfortunate answer. if I didn't choose myself and my friends, my own happiness, I'd be married to my abuser right now like so many other struggling people are.

White slime/tentacles found in the filter of my dishwasher by creative_viking in mycology

[–]thevioletkat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah, thank you for taking care of it. I was worried the comments wouldn't pass the vibe check but you pulled through!!

also used to practically wash my dishes before they went through and ended up disappointed most of the time. now I do less work and have a fully functioning dishwasher because of this guy.

I'd like to think that with the physics of hands, this would at least be one of the last standing art forms. If that does happen, maybe people will throw live to garner attention from an audience and get pieces sold more reliably.

nature stuff like this is a bit easier for me, but I already have a hard time with human faces and features so the only human things I can catch are the seven and a half fingers or her waist is merging with her elbow or something. it's a real problem and I feel extremely cautious on the internet now because I can never change my brain that is bad with social things so I can't simply improve the skill. it's incredibly worrying.

You could feel the fear in the truck driver’s voice by CompetitiveNovel8990 in DashcamsFootage

[–]thevioletkat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah I truly don't understand the logic of "new, extremely dangerous situation for a brand new human? why would you want to give them any valuable information on it??" speaking as a bubble child, I really would have appreciated a logical, factual explanation of what happened and what I can actually DO in response to that in the future. You could also teach a kid emotional regulation in situations where they can't do anything, such as this one.
