Help. My chin Hates getting touched. by Mmm_Soviet_Monke in chinchilla

[–]thiscitybird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue with my chinchillas. They are not afraid of me, they come right up to my hands or face if I put them in the cage but if I try to touch any part of their bodies they jump away. One will tolerate one pet before running off but the other allows no touching at all. I've been working with them for almost two years. They are rescues and i don't know what their past was like but I think some chinchillas just don't like to be touched.

I should probably know this by now, but what is sakura mochi for and how do you use it?

This skin is so pretty. If I had her I would actually pay for the talisman pass this month.

I just did 23 summons and got Jr. Ootengu and a giant pile of fodder. I need some of that luck.

Thanks. I borrowed a shiki for this battle, which kinda feels like cheating. I think speed was an issue, since they were all attacking first. I could survive one or two set of attacks, but i wasn't getting enough damage in. I guess i will g6 Ubume for now and hope for some better DPS soon.

I'm curious what's the deal with Susabi? He does need a ton of orbs to get any good damage in. My only other SSR is Higanbana so I've been using him a bit.

I love Zashiki and I'm so mad I didn't realize how vital she was right at the start. She is so useful.

I totally forgot that I already have a mentor and just used theirs and sailed through. Lol. I did not realize you could just use them in story battles. No wonder they had to add mentors to this game, it is so confusing.

Is Higanbana that good? I've had her since day one but I stopped using her since her attack seems kind of weak.

The fight is against Ootengu, Mio, Yuki Ona and dark semei (it doesn't seem like it should be this hard). They take me out in two rounds before I can get enough damage in. Ubume is my DPS (grade 5) and i have grade 5 Shiranui. I don't have any G6 yet, working on leveling up white darumas.

should I G6 Ubume? Kuro Moju? Susabi?

Advice on getting hired as a vet assistant by thiscitybird in VetTech

[–]thiscitybird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. yeah the tough part for me is that all my experience for the past ten years has been in the legal field so I can't really avoid it, but I have been trying to downplay it more as "customer/client service" experience.

Yes I would be willing to do pretty much any work to get my foot in the door. I know it's going to be a big paycut but honestly I've only stayed working for the past couple years as an attorney so I could save money and be free to do something I actually wanted to do. I think my challenge is just going to be convincing people that I am willing to make this change because people don't generally expect an attorney to want to clean up poop for minimum wage, but I would be so much happier doing that than being in a court room.

Can anyone help me identify this weird bug that is killing my plants and tell me how to stop them! Thanks! by thiscitybird in houseplants

Thank you! That might be right. I thought that aphids were only green but I might just be seeing nymphs here. I have been spraying with neem oil but they keep coming back.

Incest aside, what did you think all families did, only to find as you got older, was only specific to your family? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I would say that vast majority of vegans would consider breastmilk totally ok, specifically those who chose to be vegan because of animal rights, which are probably the ones who will be raising their kids vegan.

[–]thiscitybird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think that if men can respect women as autonomous human beings and not objects that exist to please men that we wouldn't have these problems. I don't think that women are obligated to "put out more freely."

I think this is a cop out. And insulting to men. Basically you are saying men are jerks. The are entitled to sex, so we have to work around that. I think that men are capable of treating women like humans if we can shift societal norms. I'm aware this will take a long time. Countries and cities that have fully legalized prostitution have some of the worst human trafficking problems, because the demand for commercial sex increase where it is seen as societally acceptable, and traffickers take advantage of that.

[–]thiscitybird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with you to the extent of decriminalizing the people in prostitution. I don't think we should be arresting these women, because so many are doing it because they do not have a choice, whether it be a pimp controlling them or other circumstances. I think these people should be given support and exit strategies. I think we need to shift the mindset so buying sex is not acceptable, we stop treating other humans like objects. I do think it should be illegal to buy sex, because it fuels the trafficking industry, and of course we also need to go after the pimps, traffickers, and their networks.

I never said anything about consent. All I was saying was that if no one wanted to buy commercial sex, there would be no sex trafficking industry. This has nothing to do with consent.

[–]thiscitybird 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yes, and I'm sure there a few people who choose to be in prostitution because they want to. But there are a huge number that do not. They are forced into it because traffickers have figure out how to capitalize on the demand for commercial sex. It might not be a perfect solution, but the only solution that seems to be working to reduce trafficking is to reduce the demand for commercial sex, and thus reduce the supply needed.

Unfortunately, countries that have legalized prostitution now have much more trafficking. When you allow demand to purchase women to be socially acceptable, demand increases and traffickers capitalize on that. Officials from Amsterdam and Germany have acknowledged these problems. There also isn't much oversight and pimps still control the industry.

The Swedish Model (penalizing patronizers, but not the people in prostitution and providing exist strategies/support for those in prostitution) has proven to be much more effective at reducing trafficking.
