@megsofthedregs@Gwendolynvee It took maybe a couple weeks to notice my puppy was deaf, and that's mostly because I didn't expect a six week old part-terrier puppy to pay that much attention to a couple strangers in a new house.
@ChrisExpTheNews To be fair to EVERY country, Twitter doesn't exactly summon the best and brightest to the table. I am not on here, arguing with Brits over whether bread exists in my supermarket, because I make good choices in life.
@TheMainScotty@deathbian Philly Cheesesteaks like that are more of a... casual? food anyway, so I wouldn't really be upset to find it with the "trashy" topping (though I prefer provolone). Like the ploughmans that started this discourse had Heinz salad cream on it, instead of homemade mayo or something
@_HMSP@HippieKillerBoB We absolutely do. I don't want to eat a ploughman's because it's too dry for my tastes, but it's actually kind of insane to think that a country built on many waves of poor immigrants wouldn't have poverty meals as a cultural thing (nevermind that some people are in poverty now)
@CuriousBunnie12@laurenragnvindr It's been awhile since I've been to a wedding, but I feel like rounding up your friends and loved ones to look at a very pretty cake for a few minutes shouldn't exactly be a mood killer either.
@vinestr@moontreezone Although I don't really think people should have to explain not recognizing food they've never eaten, it *feels* kinda weird to see the confusion, just because the gravy you see in this context is supposed to be pork gravy. Like hamburgers having beef unless otherwise labeled
@PomegranateCity@Demphio Even preparing for adopting a dog and growing up with dogs, my puppy threw me for a loop or two. Surprise! She's deaf! Surprise! She has a sensitive stomach and will be on a special diet forever! Surprise! She learned how to pick apart seams to eat toys *faster!*
@maiab I mean I appreciated it in our lab. Obviously we couldn't replace my coworker in the two weeks she gave, but it gave us time to prepare for the extra work
But I also would've lost respect for my boss if she'd taken offense to another coworker quitting suddenly for family reasons
Some are hating but there’s someone who has a job to look over 10 identical matching Scooby puppies and they’re all together rn and I think that’s extremely adorable
@autumnhtxxx@goodbraincell@thisisnefertiti Probably because "it has pockets" didn't come from nowhere. It's actually super weird to see people annoyed by it like it's exclusively a meme and not "for years it was really, really hard to find a dress with pockets in it, so if you got one you told everyone where to buy it"
My DM isn't yelling at me for my flat delivery or laughing through my lines, I'm not being punished for checking my notes before replying. If it would ruin the tension to have no stakes, roll. If it would ruin the scene to introduce a roll, don't roll.
The number of people who seem to read this as "you need to be a master actor and you can just skip playing the game" is wild to me. You don't need to be a good actor to be invested in the scene and come up with cool things for your character to do.
Forgoing a Charisma die roll because of a player's monologue is no different than forgoing a Search roll because the player specifically described trying to unscrew the bed post while searching for a secret compartment.
Both are signs of engaged players and should be rewarded.
Explaining to my dog that my liver is better designed for a versatile diet and hers for handling raw meat, hence why I can eat onion crackers and she can't. Since I did not produce any raw steak for her to consume, I don't think she was impressed
@disco___cat@maxdubler The rest of the "but it's my RIGHT TO HAVE A PHONE AT A CONCERT!!1!" stuff is driving me nuts partly because I'm seeing more "what did they do without smartphones" regarding medical apps and like. The answer is biomed companies can skip manufacturing fees if they just make an app
@disco___cat@maxdubler Honestly "I got a monitoring device recently and the software is app based because every company assumes you own a smartphone" and "I opted to use an app instead of paying for an external monitor" are both explanations that would make sense for medical needs.
@LeannaRapier@DarksaberLight The idea of maiming a dog like they're some sort of decorative object is appalling no matter what, but why would you even *want* to do it for dog ears when they are already the perfect shape?
