I tried to totally forget about football entirely. It worked ftmp. I just realized there was games this week the other day, you should have seen my face light up!
We've got two blind cats. They're indoor, but we take them in the yard and let them do their thing under supervision. Trying to catch bugs will usually just end up in a bee sting, and catching small game is largely out of the question. Tho they have chased deer away.
The coyotes around me are massive. I thought I was seeing things one night as a big ass German Shepard sized dog walked cross my yard.
That is pretty funny to think about. Dangerous, but amusing.
I know when my cat bites my partner for food or attention she just let's him do it. Then she'll freak out all flustered, I'm like ya your literally letting him do it. Throw him out of the bathroom ffs!
I don't have a stone basement, but it's block, on a hill, with bare floor(rocks etc). We just fixed it all up with pump, membrane, dehumidifier etc. Get a good dehumidifier with an actual pump. Some say they have pumps, but they are super weak. Get a good one.
Before we fixed it up there was a decent bit of mold in the air. And things would collect dust then mold very quickly. So watch your stuff. Keep your nose open for mold.
Beyond that, every house is different. I wouldn't have an issue doing what your trying to do. I'd probably just keep a door open when I was down there or something. I don't have mold anymore, and humidity levels are good with the membrane, seal, and dehumidifier.
I have to be more strict with myself cause I'm prone to extremely unhealthy coping mechanisms for dealing with people. I can deal with most bs nowadays and find it amusing at least, but once you get into "I genuinely enjoy drama" territory then you gotta go from my life. So that's kind of a bunch of people off the bat lol.
That is many people's mentality, yes. It probably depends if you were the one being tortured or were close. Pain can be ignored if not directly felt, especially if it means whatever you think your survival entails.
I'm not comfortable with it, but I'm not comfortable with life either.
Both probably. Rules depends on the situation. Pushing them is how we make change in the world. Overall I'm a good boy. Passive. I will do whatever to keep the peace. But I have a rebellious streak in me, and a self loathing one apparently, and ended up with a criminal history. I am pretty meek and quiet but if you get me going I will take a stand. I think perhaps I became too flaccid at a certain point. But I've pretty much hung out with "rule breakers" my entire life up until this point now that you frame it this way. Some wild ones, too. I can't blame them at all, mostly. It just depends on which side of the law your on tbh. There is way too much nuance to this lol.
As far as social expectations as rules I usually fail miserably, but can act good enough usually. I have always avoided people. Which is why I like to come here, cause I get to write this out and now I actually feel some type of way.
It really does all start with you. Self acceptance, reflection, and mindfulness go a long way in dealing with others. Love yourself, others will love you. Practice it. Practice doing it in the wild. Don't get hung up on how you come across. Life is a joke in the grand scheme. This mentality tends to draw people to you as well. Not sure if this is good advice but it's worked for me. Also, know yourself and your limits. Set boundaries. Have realistic goals and expectations. People will disappoint you, doesn't mean you have to disappoint yourself. 🙃
Make a meal, you will get better at it every time and figure out your own method and feel. New things I use recipes for as reference. At first you will just wanna take your time and don't stress yourself out.
It's actually all my fault, everyone.
