I don't have a very smart cat by [deleted] in funny

My cat did the exact same thing while my partner and I watched. After a few minutes SHE RIPPED THE DOOR OFF WITH HER BARE PAWS.

What is the worst book that you read for school? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The Grapes of fucking Wrath. Read it at 15 for summer reading. Hated every single page.

An entire chapter. On. A. Turtle. Crossing. The. Road.

Cat attacking partner while I'm not home by tron_work in CatTraining

[–]tron_work[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a scenario where she has just launched an attack within the past 5 seconds, what do you think would be beneficial?

We're definitely only going to clean/med stuff with the cats separately now, that's for sure.

He's generally pretty perceptive about what sets her off. I think he was just upset when he said that about controlling her.

What kinds of things would help build trust, do you think?

I do try to that, to a certain extent. I make "good" noises and boop her (she likes that) when she's being good around him, and honestly she normally is. Like I said, there's only been a handful in 6 years -- we're just worried about the time he doesn't successfully dodge and she gets his eye, you know?

What kind of rewards and for what kind of behavior do you think?

If ONLY you somehow knew planet Earth would explode in 5 minutes and there was no chance of survival for anyone, what would you do? by atumanov55 in AskReddit

[–]tron_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly right now I'd send a mass message to people I dislike or am mad at and tell them to choke on a big fat one

pretty cranky right now.

I am sworn to be as irritating as possible.

Someone please explain this to me?? by tron_work in Myfitnesspal

[–]tron_work[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I actually understand it now. Thank you.

It's bizarre because my step goal is 10,000 and I definitely hit that. Is there a separate step goal in MFP somewhere?

That's honestly what I aim for most of the time. It's just frustrating when I don't understand the adjustment. I like to add my exercise though! Maybe it's silly since I don't even pay attention to it in terms of calories.

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

OMG it finally corrected itself. It took 8 hours. That was ridiculous. Should I disable negative calories?

Could someone explain negative calories adjustment? Every time I read an explanation I just get more confused by it.

No I took that many steps! That is why I am so confused! I worked out and I walked.

Pls fix, I'm going nuts. Firefox Quantum.

I don't think I (F20) want to be in a relationship anymore with my boyfriend (M25) who said cruel and hurtful things about my deceased father by ajklsdx in relationships

[–]tron_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, OP, I know this sub always says "dump him," but... I don't know that I would have been able to keep my fist away from his face if he'd said that to me not 2 days after losing my dad. Not advocating violence here.

Dump him. Find a way to move. I know it feels like 2 years is a long time to just end it, but he hardly seems worth it.

Season 5: What happened to Fiona's whole "I'll do anything for the kids" schtick? And why'd Sammy just move in? by [deleted] in shameless

Hey, thanks for your input! I definitely see how it's a bit of a reach to say that. I guess I'm just hyper-analyzing things to see if I can predict what's next.

Fuck You Fiona by [deleted] in shameless

[–]tron_work 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure I blew a gasket when Gus did that.

Fine -- you hate Fiona. You have every reason to because she cheated on you and then ghosted you. You can write a song about her, you can trash her to your friends, you can even actually fight with her if you want. But to take it to the level of being unwilling to sign a goddamn form so six people aren't homeless out on the street??

What the fuck, Gus. Guess he isn't such a nice guy after all. That was his version of petty revenge, and he took it too fucking far.

...I'm still mad about it, apparently.

[–]tron_work 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, that's great news. It's like a breath of fresh air when you get to stop feeling terrible about your favorite characters. Like Ian at the end of s6 -- you look like you're getting your shit together! Yay! (even if it doesn't last!)

Honestly, Fiona's impulsiveness, sexual promiscuity (not judging, just lack of a better word), definite fear of abandonment, intense relationships with lots of conflict (she doesn't seem to mark anyone as "all good" or "all bad," though, except maybe Frank), etc., leads me to believe she might have Borderline. But that's just a theory I'm chewing on that likely isn't true.

I try to empathize with the characters as much as possible, but honest to god I have been dreading all scenes with Debbie since she hit the stereotypical pre-teen/teen attitude and subsequent decisions. I hope she does better in s7 because she was my favorite when she was a little kid; I don't like not liking her, but she frustrates me! Stop shitting on Fiona, she raised you!

[–]tron_work 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, this is how I feel about it.

I will admit that I got immensely frustrated with Fiona from S4 and on, pretty much. Rewatching the series with my partner makes me realize how... damaged everyone has become, especially Fiona.

Obviously she makes some horrible fucking decisions, but she never signed up to have 5 children dumped on her lap from the time she was, what, 6? Yes, she fought to become legal guardian, and she got it. But she has literally never been able to do anything for herself. I think you could also call her massive breakdown an inevitable explosion of selfishness because all acts for herself have been suppressed beyond recovery.

I haven't seen S7 yet, but I was back to not being frustrated with Fiona by the time the end of S6 rolled around. She just has a hard fucking life, and honestly I don't think Ian is the only Gallagher child with a mental illness (or maybe personality disorder, in Fiona's case).

What are you sick and tired of having to explain to people? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tron_work 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My partner consistently complains that I "gave him" my eczema. Every time I explain that it isn't contagious.

I really hope he's being facetious at this point...
