I have to give one of my cats (GF’s but now we live together) a pill on the morning and two pills (one is quartered) at night. He doesn’t have a gallbladder so he can’t really poop right without meds.

He hates when I try to give him the pills. I know pill pockets are a thing, but one is slightly too big to fit. And apparently he will just eat around the pill.

Is it bad to just dump the pill capsule out into his food?

My car has an average speed display, why no matter how I drive does it always average out at 30mph?

Saw a few posts right now about women cheating and it got me thinking that isn't it like way worse when women cheat? Like when men cheat they probably just drank a little too much and let their dick do the thinking. For the most part there isn't any emotion involved. Like the next day they can be over that hoe. However when women cheat it's far worse since they are emotionally cheating. Right?

Sorry if this is genuinely stupid but I can't figure out why they're both called elves when they're very different. The christmas variety are short and impish and merry but the fantasy elves are tall and ancient and usually sad.

See the case of Canada's retaliatory tariffs. Won't it hurt Canadians? Wouldn't the best course of action be not implement tariffs?

Hello guys!

I have written some posts before, so if you are curious you should check it out for context.

I have read about trauma bonding these days, and I've realized I lived this experience for years with my ex.

It was really hard to leave, I was having anxiety attacks everytime I wanted to end the relationship. With my logical mind I knew something was deeply wrong with our connection, and it gave me a constant amount of bearable anxiety, but leaving was something that was making me feel much worse.

I finally had proof of his cheating with multiple women (again lol, because it happened before, but I didn't know about any physical that time).

I blocked him out of my life for good, when I saw he is manipulative and just an awful human being. The brainfog lifted up, I would say, but it wasn't an easy ride.

After I left for good I realized I never even liked him. I hated so many things about him, I despised him.

But then why did it feel like love? How was he able to make or break my day with breadcrumbs or ignoring me?

I know I would have married him if the truth wouldn't came out.

I feel like I am so fucking unreliable and inauthentic to myself. I would have gave everything to someone, sacrifice my happiness for life, whom I actually hated.

I am so afraid it is gonna happen to me again, because while I am single I live my best life and my confidence is pretty healthy.

Does anyone have an experience with a similar thing? I am so afraid of myself, everything that happened I put myself through it, I sabotaged my own fucking self.

Visiting Mexico City as a New Yorker, I was struck by the relative lack of visible addicts on the streets and very rarely did I smell cannabis. Saw this in other cities too so looked it up and Mexico doesn't seem to have an addiction crisis. The numbers on heroin and opioid addiction (fractions of one percent) are the kinds American society can only dream of. So it is possible for a country to have easy availability of drugs but not have a huge addiction epidemic.

What about the Mexican people and culture makes them significantly less prone to addiction compared to Americans, despite having access to the same supply chain? In fact I'm guessing any drug costs way less in Mexico City than New York City.

I agree with protesting terrible humans. I don't agree with purity testing every single person whose content I consume. Obviously, there's a limit. If someone is a terrible human, I will avoid rewarding them. However, I don't delude myself that anybody that I enjoy watching (sports, movies, etc) is better than me, shares my values to the letter and etc.

What good comes projecting yourself onto these hollow facades? Why does it matter if a director you love likes the same movies or has the same criticisms of films you dislike? Why idolize anybody? We are all even in my eyes.

My thinking is absolutely.

I'm only talking about the control over the household and the laser tables, not the ironman suit.

I have a gift card for 50$ but I've spent a little on it and am not sure what is left. I tried to check balance online but it says it cannot process it right now. The order will just simply decline if I dont have enough money on the card right?

I've always seem documentaries, articles, posts, etc. that would sometimes mention a well known "character actor" or an aspiring "character actor". It's obviously not a leading man/woman, so what exactly is the role of a "character actor" in media?

I like to write funny parodies of songs in my free time but I'd like to make them into actual songs and not just plain lyrics. Is there a website that can make my lyrics into full songs with the same instrumental and singer?

New user pass phrase: I genuinely don't know the answer

Gotta be honest if the owner of the restroom could not spend an extra couple bucks to label it I’m probably just gonna use it from now on.

Context: I don’t know anything about cars, I don’t feel safe getting close to a car to look at their license plate, and I can’t see the sticker that they have. I could look at the car’s appearance. But, if there are several cars and it’s dark it’s harder for me to distinguish between all the cars.

So, how else am I suppose to identify a Uber car that is for me?

I’m autistic/ADHD. So, maybe this is why it’s so difficult for me. I feel so dumb for asking this. But, I need to stop with the waving. They don’t care nor see me when I do that. I also SADLY have tried to get in the wrong car. To be fair, this only has happened like three times in all the years I’ve been taking an Uber. But, it’s still bad. I need to stop that.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

The USA is facing issues with a bird flu epidemic.

I understand the risk is low to none when eating "properly cooked" eggs.

My question was, would sunny side up eggs, as in, eggs with fully cooked whites but soft yolks count as "properly cooked"?

Thanks

My house survived the major LA fire. The 2 houses next to it burned down. My house smells smokey but my room doesn’t smell too strong, and there isn’t visible ash on all of the surfaces, it’s relatively light. My clothes don’t smell, and my products seem completely unharmed. I know they can have toxins in this situation but my stuff really does seem fine. What are your thoughts? Thank you for your answers

I'm only 25 but l've made a decision last year that I only want to drink on vacations and maybe the odd special occasion. For me it doesn't outweigh the pros to the cons, I'm still in university and l've really tried to clean up my nutrition and gym. I just overall hate the feeling of it. I never judge anyone who does drink and I'm all for it if you do. My best friend (who is also my bfs cousin if it matters) drinks A LOT. Like the cannot go out for a dinner without wanting a whole bottle of wine, or when I hang out at her house she's always having a drink or 2. I see her quite often like every 4-5 days and every single time it has to involve drinking. When I told her about not wanting to drink last year she gave like weird snappy remarks like "oh you're so weird who does that" or "yea sure don't be lame you can't stick with this goal" and then she would leave it with "oh I'm just joking it's fine." And I knew it was probably just a funny joke but recently it's gotten too much. This may not seem like much to others but trust me when I say I know how she means stuff when she says it and it's now just meant to put me down. The other day she messaged in our group chat with me, her and my sister (she's also friends with my sister but not best friends like we are and she says to my sister, hey let's go out and leave (my name) because she won't drink anyways. Then says haha joking. Then she says to my sister "omg I should've picked just u up this place l'm at is so fun you would love it." She has said stuff to me like "my New Year's resolution is for you to be fun and drink again" and I always laughed it off but now it's starting to feel like little jabs. I know this shouldn't affect me much because I am happy with my choice and she may not even think much of these little remarks she's saying but I can tell they're just getting annoying now. She just now messaged in our group chat saying to my sister (hey come out with me let's go to the restaurant) like I'm also in this group chat? You didn't ask me and you don't need to drink to go out and still have fun. Maybe I'm being extra dramatic but I'm just feeling put down

Like, I was thinking of if the Europeans settled places in America where there were no people, is that also viewed as a negative thing in America today?

I recently noticed that most of the times our dog wags his tail, is either when we stop petting him, or when he howls/barks loudly, seemingly displeased with something. When we do pet him, his tail is completely still.

We got him when he was maybe 2 months old and back then we still had around 3 cats (only one of them currently still alive)

He also seems to have taken to a sort of "purring" when petting him, by which I mean growling.

Tried looking it up online, but only found articles pointing out the differences between their tail language, which I was already aware of.

Another post in this community specified "while retaining their own body language", which is not quite what I wanted to know.

Like saying the package came damaged or it was an empty box? Like what are the downsides if I do it to specifically for products sold by amazon and not third party sellers? I guess at some point I could get my account banned but I doubt I would get into legal trouble or any shit like that right?
