I’m not having fun or making money.

Who do I send a bug report to?

I have a special needs bearded dragon. Special needs because he was born without scales. Also, unfortunately, he is now mostly blind.

He has given me more grey hairs in his 5 years on earth than my previous 30. His care requires multiple skincare products, aloe, etc. His diet requires me to keep bins of cockroaches which also require their own food and water. He also requires heat & UVB bulbs with separate fixtures, and has a specialty “herpstat” that can automatically time the lights, control temperatures, report on humidity, etc.

He is a pain to care for!

I love him so much. I do it all happily and he’s a wonderful, friendly, sweet, amazing companion.

Woo woo! Auditory Processing Disorder!

I can’t leave.

I have a child with an abusive, vindictive ex-spouse. Regardless of me having sole custody, I would still need to get both the court’s permission and his permission just to move out of state, so god knows I will not be able to get out of the country.

I’m at a loss. I will not leave without my kid.

“Pokémon the Trading Card Game” has such a genuinely good fucking soundtrack!

Gotta have that classic Konamix. Chicks dig it. 😎

jk don’t listen to me. I don’t anything about gettin’ anything. Lol But you’ll have fun, that I do know!

A few years ago, I invited a guy over and we ended up playing DDR on PS1. I had the window shades drawn because I live next to a road, have large windows, and I don’t want strangers seeing me flail around like an elephant seal having a seizure.

My mother dropped by unexpectedly and I opened the door, red, panting, and sweaty, with a strange man on my couch who was trying to look casual.

Tried to blurt out that it was a misunderstanding, but she side-eyed me and left quickly.

At least she always texts me before she drops by now? I’m ace, so, for me, it’s particularly mortifying.

Fan too big. ):

Tbf, I did not build this. A friend did and then sold it to me for a good price! Can’t complain. It’s run pretty good for 6+ years. Though I guess I have no point of comparison.

Because they don’t care about “life”.

They care about punishing people.

I absolutely LOVE the original Subnautica, but was frustrated with Below Zero. I’ve posted multiple rants about it on Lemmy before.

Already skeptical about this game because it looks like it has

.

A big appeal of the first game was the isolation you felt, and the struggle to find life and accomplish gargantuan tasks.

Cautiously optimistic for this installment.

Please don’t have any characters yap & quip throughout this one, god, please!

The reason for the common cold being so prevalent in cold weather is because of the cold.

My theory is that cold temperatures best suit the incubation of the germs. You are especially susceptible at night, when you can’t control your breath enough to keep your nose/nostrils warm. Warm face/nose at night = you won’t catch a cold.

I’m absolutely convinced of this theory. I’ve tested ways to keep my face/nose warm at night, and it seems to test very solidly (and I get sick very very easily). Once my room gets too chilly, I’ll inevitably wake up with a cold.

EDIT: let me have the smallest conspiracy theory in the world, thank you.

Stalkers, no doubt.

Dickwads.

I feed my pet things that I eat, too! Collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, various squashes, fresh blueberries, etc.

Except for his bugs. I don’t like cockroaches or worms very much. But he seems to like them! So he gets those, too.

I used to hitchhike, and one day, got a ride with a trucker hauling blackened animal organs to be turned into pet food (they were blackened as a mark to show they were unfit for human consumption at the place where they were mass harvested). It was the worst smell I’ve ever smelled in my entire life. I remember gagging for a few minutes as the driver laughed and told me what the deal was.

Still not the worst road story I have lol.

But be aware of what your pet’s food is made from. Or make your own, if you’re worried about it!

There’s typically warning against eating pet food on the bags for that very reason.

I was suspicious of that guy!

It’s been removed.👍Thank you!

Oh, I labeled the cords & disconnected them to clean. Slid the side off to give everything a thorough shine!

Problem is: this cables connect to this big ho (which I also had to clean very very heavily).

Looking into my trash, it’s more like half a bucket, the other half being crumpled paper towels.

Sadly, I only remembered to take a single one before the process started. You can see an alarming amount of dust on certain parts if you look closely.

Warning for tech-gore, maybe? Again, I’m not a tech person. The back has always been partially open. This was built by someone else, and it’s… probably not standard.

Oh, it was bad. Real bad.

WHOA!

Removing that nearly entire bucket of dust feels justified now! Makes me happy I wasn’t just wasting my time. Thank you!

My stupid, ugly lizard.

I had my eye on a beautiful female leatherback bearded dragon with great genetics! She was around 200$ and I was so ready to buy her. Contacted the breeder and was told that she had been sold just a few hours earlier. Absolutely crushed.

Then the breeder offered up a defect dragon. It was going to be culled due to a genetic fuck-up that caused it to be born without spikes or scales. They’re much much much much much more difficult to care for into adulthood, due to their special needs. 20$ adoption fee + shipping.

He was the opposite of what I had wanted.

So naturally, sucker that I am, I adopted him.

He’s turning 5 this November.

I love my stupid, ugly lizard. 💕

(here is what a standard one looks like:)
