I’ve had a carrot cat too! I sliced some up and dehydrated them then sewed them into a toy and she just loved it! The trick I found is to break the pieces inside the toy now and then to release more of the smell (same way catnip works really).
Does your carrot cat also like swimwear that’s been used in a chlorinated pool, but not yet washed? Mine treated that like catnip, too.
Gosh friend, I appreciate the vote of confidence, but really I can’t pull off that innocent - but not at all ~_^ - cute thing you’ve got going on. It’s just not in my wheelhouse and that’s ok. I’m that tiny 5ft inclusive feminist asshole who lets dudes have it at the slightest hint of misogyny or phobia, that’s my place. I’m pegged as a man more often than most of my mtf friends are, despite appearing fully feminine, because I’m no longer performing my femininity in a way cishet men are ok with. And I like it this way.
You are rocking it, hun! You remind me, in this pic, of a woman I knew in my early 20s (also mtf, lovely lady!) She went and fixed my car for me by ripping off a part that’s unnecessary, and then put on this adorable geisha gown and we hit the town. Fucking blast, but she pulled off the gown so so much better than I could have because she just had the personality, the vibe, the towering 6 foot presence that makes you go “O.O…. ~_^”
You have that sort of vibe and I’m here for it!
Honestly I’m cis afab and you’ve got me beat hands down on cute. I can’t rock that aesthetic to save my soul.
You go girl!
There are a lot of games I won’t play because they over sexy the female armor to the point it’s just laughably unrealistic and negatively distracting.
I love seeing sexy women, don’t get me wrong, like Aloy always had the midriff-exposing gear skin on so I could see her belly during conversations, but that gear was still practical. Maybe risky for one of the more vulnerable areas, but something I could see existing irl.
Fanservice games that over-sexy the women just scream “this game isn’t very good and is banking on teen/ya boys being horny”. Not a good look.
Yeah, kbin/etc is a lot better for interacting with mastodon from what I hear. Y’all are like properly integrated.
On Lemmy I very very rarely see any of it, and it interacts like any other post. It just doesn’t cross-chatter terribly well, I think.
II don’t have a boost button, and I don’t think Lemmy works that way, but I could be wrong.
“Accidentally” 😏
If I had friends I’d give it a shot. But here’s a comment to boost the post anyway!
Aww, good for them! Teamwork makes the dream work!
I cannot roleplay (I’m really bad at being anyone but myself).
Therefore I need my character to be as close to me as possible (within limits ofc, like she doesn’t have to be human or anything).
Therefore, I ideally need someone who can’t stick with anything at all long enough to get good at it, but who is reasonably proficient, as a beginner/intermediate, with everything they have ever come across, even in passing. Bonus points for being mostly useless in a practical way, but having huge lore skill bonuses as a tradeoff from the multiclassing.
This multi class is exactly that. It’s all the hobbies I’ve picked up and bought supplies for and never did again. And like my supplies, you have to be cunning to use that hodgepodge to get something actually useful (barely related to the existing hobbies) done.
There’s a whole world of possibilities for how to run something like that and make it enjoyable (even if not always/often super useful - like buying all the equipment that doesn’t put you over encumbrance).
(I don’t think I’ve ever single-classed a campaign, I’ve always at least dual-classed, and often mixed-race too)
I think it depends very heavily on how you raise the chickens. And what you value - nutritional value or raw cost.
For example, if you compost all your house and garden scraps (veg scraps, clippings, bread, grains, pet food leftovers, pretty much any household biodegradable scrap) and let the chickens access the pile to dig out goodies they want to eat and scratch bugs out of? Healthy chickens, minimal feed cost through whatever months they have access to bugs and scraps, and their nitrogen rich waste enhances the compost to help it break down faster and make veg growing more efficient. Feed is more of a supplement then, and the chickens give you more than just super healthy nutrient rich eggs (plus you can eat them when they can’t lay anymore which you don’t get out of the raw price of eggs). If you can work it out so they always have access to a pile warm enough to not freeze or let the bugs die off, with enough fresh material (maybe from neighbors in exchange for some eggs here and there if you don’t produce enough on your own), that really can make up a substantial part of the diet, reducing the break even point by a lot.
Sure, it’s probably not going to be outright cheaper food, unless you have solar for coop heat and can source cheap feed (spent grain from a brewery, for example). But it is more efficient and more nutritious food, and a lot more humane than most factory farming. Plus being even partially self sustaining really does help reduce the hold corps have on us, which is always a win.
I used to have a cat named gin, but not named after the alcohol.
Her name was 銀 (gin, pronounced geen like green) which is silver in Japanese.
She passed this time last year, quite unexpectedly, after 16 years with me, but your post brought some happy memories :)
