@iak5lmM@venusiiaa sitting with the anxiety is the point! and you wouldn't start here. you'd go up incrementally, only reaching more extreme measures like this when you're “ready”.
it works, too—it's just difficult to explain when you don't have OCD or aren't being treated for it.
One of the only existing groves of American Chestnut trees is scheduled to be destroyed next month to make room for a datacenter. I made an entire video about what this tree meant and the efforts to bring it back that have lasted decades. Consumption knows nothing of sacrament.
@batkkyu seeing posts like this make me feel horrible bc i never want to prevent sm from partaking or like, anything really. but weed smells god awful and my asthma is triggered so badly by tobacco & weed, i just get so annoyed when i smell it in public 😭
@willow_kert@Recordsystem64 obviously treatment is easier said the done for a lot of people, but i always try to mention it, anyway, just in case it pushes someone to try!
@willow_kert@Recordsystem64 im in the exact same boat as you, & i have diagnosed ocd! my trauma & adhd triggered these worries, ocd got ahold of them & now i behave in the same way. the good news is ocd is HIGHLY treatable! and so, SO freeing. you genuinely don't realize how heavy it is until it's lifting!!
@ShadowFlame84@SaltAndSlowBurn they aren't! goldfish often eat bloodworms. they're likely never going to find an animal with a diet they approve of and that they can take care of meaningfully—not that i think they should, anyway, if they're abusing a cat this way. it really is just tough luck.
@ShadowFlame84@SaltAndSlowBurn cost, time, effort & space make none of these animals feasible for most people—they've just been marketed to hell to seem that way.
@ShadowFlame84@SaltAndSlowBurn no, they really aren't. tank and cage maintenance alone is a lot of work & if your disability makes movement hard, it's gonna be difficult. the only benefit would be an animal not free roaming, but they need just as much care + u need to be extra intentional abt it.
the ui in contrast to everything else is killing me like... that's the best we could do? really? in a game made up entirely of pixel art, u opened up ms paint n made a rectangle?
Hey uh i found this game on steam and i'm 99% sure it uses ai without disclosing it but the dev not only insists that it doesn't but banned me from the game's steam forums for "false ai accusations" So i'd like a second opinion, does this look like ai?? (images from store page)
laughed so hard at this r/catadvice post about the cat who only communicates that he wants to be picked up by squashing himself into too-small boxes, timed according to the owners’ daily routines eg gardening, forcing them to rescue him and therefore hold him
ive been putting it off for years bc i know im gonna love it and i can't just... watch a movie at home, y'know. the vibes must be right and my adhd has to be temporarily stunned. but THE THEATER FIXES ALL THAT!!! it's time!!!
