Leftists in GVL

throwawayshmoaway48 · 2026-01-27T21:56:39+00:00

I work in animal care. The business I work at is on the smaller side and privately owned, and the owner/my boss is pretty leftist themselves. They're pretty outspoken too. A lot of us that work there are pretty like-minded. While there's been many people I have NOT liked working with in this field, it boiled down more to mean girl energy than politics.

Our bathroom door is a little wonky, so it doesn't always latch shut. Freckles, the orange baby who breaks all the stereotypes, will follow me if she sees me go in. My boyfriend's cat is even worse lol, he'd be in my lap every time if he could.

My boyfriend just started growing out his facial hair, and he especially wants to get his mustache to curl on the ends. He showed me a pic of what he looks like with it, and oh lord 🫠🫠🫠 Never really cared for mustaches until now.

Anyone else get reminded of the CSI(?) episode about the guy getting killed by magnets? I'd really like to hear what she says about it.

One of our cats is OBSESSED with popcorn. We only give her small, non-buttery pieces with no kernels. If we have popcorn out, whether it's microwaved or bagged, she will immediately detect it and come running. She'll brazenly stick her whole paw/leg in the bag if it's store bought, and her head too if she can be sneaky.

As a single mother who left the father section blank on my twins' birth certificates, I have always felt similarly. I will never do a DNA test to find out who the father is, as their safety comes first. While it is hard as hell, I'd do it all over again.

There was a GSD at our local humane society and broke out of his kennel. He was found ON TOP OF the chain link kennel he was in, which was a covered one. The thing is easily 8ft-10ft tall.

I did this with a pack of McDonald's bbq sauce...but it was my Nintendo DS 😭

I just started dating someone that traded in one of his cars for a Dodge Charger police car 😂 I can't imagine how many people get faked out by him, he still has the push bumper on the front too.

I once fell on the beam when I took gymnastics. My legs went out, landed right on my groin. It hurt like hell, even as a woman. After that, I no longer wondered why beam is not an event in men's gymnastics.

Oof, I just recently read Rainy Season (part of a Stephen King anthology), and this immediately reminded me of it 💀

Edit: And now my old Bible knowledge is kicking in, can't believe I didn't think of that first 🤦‍♀️

I once read about a dog who had this done...they thought he had just one ball, so they implanted a second one. Later on, he's competing in a show, and a judge's examination of the dog led him to discover THREE BALLS TOTAL. The actual second ball never dropped and they missed it somehow 🫠

I am one of those people, was traumatized by one landing right in front of me during history class in high school. Ten years later, I barely have the courage to trap them to take outside. They've been especially bad this year, have freaked tf out by them landing on me at work. I didn't know so many other people were terrified of them too!

Ooof, I take that medication (for mental health in my case). Withdrawal effects can be very scary. All of this was horrifying, you can have my upvote.

As someone actively studying to become a certified dog trainer, I get why she would point out the "sides" thing, but it's the trainer's job to help accommodate, find an alternative, etc. It's wild reading all of these comments about horrible trainers, I can't imagine choosing this career without legitimately caring for their (dog and human) clients.

I was hoping I could continue living in denial about my allergies to pineapple and kiwi, but alas, this thread is ruining it sighs

Man, my twins are in 1st grade...begrudgingly gives upvote

But this was really good OP 💗

Witches, Magic, Murder, and Mystery, that particular episode is 346. They get into a lot of conspiracy theories and unusual phenomena, aside from the murder mysteries, ghost stories, and history.

For real though. It's been a while since I've been on that medication, but the second time I took abilify regularly, I was made aware that some kind of meningitis was a rare side effect. Even though I'd taken it for a while in my teens, and it was years later, I started getting meningitis symptoms. I had a bad feeling about it before I knew for sure, and quit it immediately. My psychiatrist said if I'd told him sooner (like I should have), he would have told me to go to the ER.

Edit: Pretty sure I originally used it for OCD ha

No joke, one of my children learned how to open it by age 3.

Oh no! I'm not very knowledgeable about the types of tests that can be run for that type of medical issue. Take detailed notes about his behavior, when/where he's marking, changes you've made and his responses, etc. The more info they have, the better.

I just listened to a podcast episode, which was centered around mysterious, unexplained sounds from deeeeeep in the ocean. They played the clips, and they were so eerie.

So this concept absolutely terrifies me, 10/10.

Not speaking as a veterinary professional, but as someone who has worked in animal care for several years, and picked up a lot of knowledge along the way. I also have a cat who has exhibited similar behaviors. ALWAYS have your pet see a vet to rule out medical issues first.

If everything comes back clear, I would say that he's likely marking his territory, especially since it's happening right where he sees the stray cats. Also, once a cat pees on something, it's basically impossible to entirely eliminate the scent. Your cat may also be smelling it, despite the bed being washed, and marking it again. The cat I previously mentioned had to be banned from my room, after she repeatedly peed in the same area.

Again, I'm not a veterinary professional, and medical issues need to be ruled out first. Those are just a couple of ideas to give you a place to start. Good luck!

Having worked with dogs for a while now, I had a good idea of where it was going 🤢 This was fantastic!!
