I prefer the sound of silence.
I don’t mean the song but I’m also fine with the song (it gives me Frission every time I hear it, so it gets a pass.)

Who wishes sweet dreams instead of seeding their friends and loved ones with specific dream settings?
Whenever I say goodnight to someone I tell them something like “I hope you sleep well and have wonderful dreams of bioluminescent mountain rivers with auroras on the star-lit sky”
And it works about 30% of the time from reports.
Go spin up your own server with zero defederation policy and see how that works out for you. It will not be pleasant, that’s for sure.
Everyone likes to say “wahh don’t defederate!!” But grad was defederated years ago for reasons, and the community decided on it back then, like this is asking to bring them back.
Or you can go find a server that federates with them if you want. There are probably several. Have fun.
Personally, if this account ends up federated with grad, I’ll abandon it. I’ve been here since the Reddit API migration 2 years ago, when grad was originally defederated, but I’ll drop this shit in half a heartbeat. I have other options. Y’all can do what you like.
No thanks for me though. I also don’t want shit to do with hex or .ml. Those are harder to find instances defederated. But also worth having nothing to do with, I’ve found. For every serious anarchist or communist you might actually want to talk to, it seems you have 4 “for real bro” shitposters ruining it.
I’m actively looking for places I don’t have to interact with that level of toxicity. If dbzer0 isn’t it anymore, I’ll move on.
If I want to see what nonsense they have to say I can create an account on their dumb servers. I don’t want to know what assholes think, though, when they could -just as easily- go somewhere else to interact if they want to be heard.
True, but I kept two and got another 6 adopted out (two litters, I have one cat from each, and there were some losses, as these were barn cats)
And all of them turned out happy and friendly expect the ones I kept : /
As did several half siblings (there’s like 3 baby daddies in the group and 4 mamas, so the kittens were consistent across about a dozen litters - melanistic tabbies (voids with stripes) gray tabbies (gray with stripes) and regular tabbies)
Since nobody else seems inclined to share the deep darks of their life, I will.
Due to a childhood of neglect, I tend to ruin baby animals left in my care. Not because I want to, but because I’m not nurturing at all. Not even a slight tiny bit. I keep them alive and unharmed just fine, that I can do. But that’s about all I’ve got.
I’ve had a few cats that I’ve acquired as kittens and by the time they hit adulthood they hate everything. The first time I didn’t realize it was me, and I had a cranky bitch who hated everyone and everything but me.. for 16 years.. after the last time I know it must be me. Because cats from the same litter went to my partner and theirs are super nice and friendly, and mine.. one gets so upset seeing other strange cats that she misplaces her aggression and goes after her sister until her sister pees herself running away. It fucking sucks, and I wish I was better for them.
The dog I got as a puppy was poorly socialized, as well, but I wasn’t able to keep her past the first year (pitbull in an apartment, but she was just friendly as hell, not mean or aggressive)
My quail were about ready to see me as mama, same with the chickens, even nestling in my hands to fall asleep, and now they don’t like me.. (that one is probably a reach-down problem, they like me a lot better when I reach in at them instead of down from above, but still)
So except where necessary, like farm animals, I avoid getting babies. I’m sterile for this reason as well. I don’t want to pass on my fucked up neglected childhood, even to animals.
The best part of that show is how it grew with the times, while approaching difficult topics.
If you buy the old seasons on dvd, they come with content warnings saying they aren’t really suitable for children anymore. But back then they were so hugely progressive!
Totally completely unrelated to anything you said. Just a hookup between arborists and people who need an entire dump truck load of free wood chips unceremoniously unloaded in their driveway at a random future time.
So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?
You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.
Sleeps 16! Newly renovated! 6,000+ sqft! Indoor pool in your very own gymnasium building! Apparently great for doomsday preppers for some reason! What’s not to love?
Ok so I don’t love whatever this thing is. It gives me creepy basement entrance vibes that don’t fit.
I like ceiling elephant if stuff has to be there at all, but the rest of the cave drawings…
(You may recognize this house from a comment on my prior post, cuz I wasn’t really thinking about posting this one separately, but hey might as well liven the place up)
This whole house is painted seafoam green inside. Whole thing. And it does not have electricity, so you get natural seafoam green light, and either darkness or a fire hazard. What a gem!
Kitchen? Yep.
Living room? Yep.
Bathroom? Absolutely!
Wonder why it’s been available for 846 days 🧐🤔

All cats.
If it was my old boy, omg I’d love to have 100 versions of him, but the test would be if I sat down, the cat immediately on my lap is probably him, but to be sure I’d bring in some random stranger and sit them down and see if the same cat goes to them immediately. He was the absolute friendliest cat on the face of the earth, even thought the mailman was there for him!
As for the girl I had at the same time, I’d put down wet food aplenty, and then put a pizza box in the very middle of the table with ham in it and see which one could, and wanted to, get it open. She fucking loved pork for whatever reason, and she was smart enough to understand that knocking a food box off the table would get it open very nicely. I lost a lot of leftovers to that bitch.
My current cats.. they would yell at me and disappear. So no idea. I’d probably put my quail cage in the room and see which ones don’t give a shit about the birds. That’s probably a good clue. Tho the fact that they would be fighting everyone would also be a good clue, that would not be a happy time. They can’t even stand small wildlife by the door..
