Oh shi-

I try to use their names daily. They know them, but generally dont care lol.

One of them responds to dumby and dingus as if they were his names tho. Jus lyk me fr ig

Porter Texas is the single most vile place I have ever had the displeasure of spending time in. Its primary exports are meth and x-phobes, and random violence is basically a daily threat if you are not white. I am not white and got called every fucking slur you can imagine in my brief time there, among other forms of hostility. By complete strangers. Many of the slurs didn’t even apply to my own ethnic background. Like, very obviously didnt apply either, and it was regular enough that I am sure it was partly intentional.

And tbc, this would happen at random, on the streets. People would start yelling this garbage at strangers out of fucking nowhere. Sometimes accompanied by a throwing of whatever literal garbage they had available atm and a little “go back to your own country”. I am literally from here in just about every conceivable way lol.

This was all pre-2016 too, so I’d be surprised if it hasn’t gotten much, much worse by now. Nothing good comes out of Porter Texas.

I once shared a story here about neo-nazis kicking down my front door. Those nazis were based in Porter and kidnapping girls in ways that this story definitely echoes. Just a bad, bad place to find yourself on so many gd levels.

When the wealthy move to Arizona, it’s often because they want to do illegal shit. That’s not always the case ofc (plenty of tired, hopeful retirees were flocking there when I was in the area), but it’s definitely a known element among shadier/shady adjacent locals.

If your goal is to do some wild shit where no one is watching, you can choose a lot worse than the Sonaran or Mojave.

It is not often that I legitimately believe im reading an onion headline only to find it is explicitly not the onion. Oof.

Appreciated

Why haven’t i heard of this? Got links or a more specific phrase I can use to start searching?

Never been to Lubbock, but I’ve heard from folks in east texas that job listings with “whites only” have been popping up online here and there. I’ll give ya one guess on when the brain-dead started feeling emboldened enough to bring that oldie back.

Jayzis! Give a gal a warning before you spill her fuckin guts out!

Very interesting. I’ll have to look more into this when I have the time. Thanks for sharing what you know!

Thoroughly macabre. I love it!

How is Blót pronounced? Haven’t come across this term before

Clown-ass mfs

It’s a good general rule, but taking this as gospel makes it very easy for the malicious to pass off their cruelty as stupidity.

If your goal is to reduce general stress, take it as it is and leave it there. If your goal is to distinguish what exactly is actually going on, then this is a tool worth keeping around, but it’s not going to do the job on it’s own.

Fair and valid

Volcanoes offer a very quick death. Your lungs calcificy rapidly during your descent, meaning if the drop doesn’t kill you (heart attack/shock), youre still dying quickly and relatively painlessly (as this all happens in a matter of seconds). If you get past that point, the magma itself will basically disintegrate your ability to feel on contact.

So it’s almost a reward compared to slower methods, you could say. Not making a point. Just sharing some info.

Our species is so fucking cooked

Edit: not that this specific thing will do it, I mean. But all of what’s been going around added up? The future’s looking bleak these days

It is taste aversion, yes. With piddle pads I’m not sure this would be the right move since they’d be walking on them (potentially getting it on their paws which could be uncomfortable or even painful with too much exposure). I understand that living circumstances and the nature of cats might make this difficult, but is there any way to move the pads to an area she doesn’t have access to? Seems like it’d be the most straigh-forward fix.

There is also the tried and tested positive reinforcement method. When you catch her engaging in unwanted behavior, you distract her with high value treats, toys, catnip, etc. It can feel a bit counterintuitive, like youre rewarding them for bad behavior kind of, and it can take quite some time before you see results, but persistence and patience with it is rewarded way more often than not. It always depends on the individual cat’s personality ofc, but ime it has worked with 4/5 of the cats I’ve raised.

Its also very likely that she might just wants to chew something. This is common in kittens (teething, I think?). Many cats dont take to them, but you could try chew toys. Most of the ones for cats are drugged (silvervine and/or catnip), but with a kitten I’d recommend the ‘grass stick’ ones to start. If that doesn’t work/she doesnt like them, then it might be time to try silvervine sticks. Cats be getting silly on them drugs tho. Mixing that with behavior training can muddy results ime, but i am no expert on the topic. I just like cats lol

Good luck!

Reminds me of the coral castle guy

Only two weeks iirc 😔

Try pepper or ginger extract on the cords Sammy likes and, with a bit of patience, they’ll probably eventually get the message. Probably.
