I don't even to that for my own health

My friend's cats aren't overweight at all, they're just... Really big cats. While all three are female, the largest ended up taking heavily after her dad and now dwarfs all the males from her litter at a (again, quite healthy) whopping 23lbs

And since said friend happens to be on the petite side herself, this means her cats are hilariously large in proportion


EDIT: From Wikipedia, "Large Maine Coons can overlap in length with Eurasian lynxes, although with a much lighter build and lower height."

Been meaning to ask this one girl out for a bit now, last two days I even went so far as to add her on the social medias and whatnot. Now I've been staring at that send message button and my mind has been doing what it does best, thinking up an infinity of reasons to not do it. The fucker is pretty good at that kind of shit seeing as it gets a ton of practice on a nearly daily basis :c

Oh well, here goes nothing I guess.

[Dunamisdeos]

WELL?

[Kagus]

There ya go, mate!

So long as you show you can act like an adult in whatever outcome, it's really not that dangerous to ask someone out. Just because you want to go on a date with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you think they're your one true love-- it just means you find them attractive in one way or another and would like to spend some time with them.

Making that "casual" aspect clear both 1) Makes it easier for someone to accept, since they won't feel like they're obliging themselves to anything super serious that they can't walk back on, and 2) Makes it more likely that relations will be cordial in the event of a rejection.

Just throw yourself out there enough until you get to the point where you can actually slow your own self down and just appreciate the lighter side of dating/flirting, and it'll get vastly easier.

But what happened :[        ]

Also yeah, take it slow. No need to ramp things up to max anytime soon at all.

I fucked up and had to reinstall Linux Mint on my HTPC due to a botched update to version 20, which means I lost all of the settings and configs I had on that thing. It also turns out that if you encrypted your home directory like I did, it gets very difficult to recover any files from there, so I just gave up. Now all the movies and TV shows on the internal disk are also gone. Shit.

Where the shows encrypted as well, or just the home directory?

Because you may be able to retrieve them by using a different operating system.

[methylatedspirit]

The shows were in the home directory, and were also encrypted by virtue of being in the home directory. The thing with the home directory is that, even if you were to decrypt the volume with its password, Linux deliberately unmounts the home directory, and leaves it encrypted. You have run some commands to get it to mount, but nothing I tried worked. At that point, I decided to cut my losses and just reinstalled Linux Mint, because dealing with that bullshit is beyond me. There wasn't anything that I'd regret losing on that disk anyway.

Seeing as I was out of this whole relationship and dating thing for a while now (like, years) the most terrifying prospect wasn't really the asking or the rejection I think. It was her saying yes, because that pulls the whole thing out of my head and makes it oh so terrifyingly real (which is both a great and terrible thing)

Oh and she's busy this week, so we'll figure out something for next week I guess. Which seems to be just putting off the inevitable xd

[Dunamisdeos]

Hooray? She agreed to a date? Yay?

I'm going with yay.

New friend, yay. At least, I'm assuming it's a new friendship, as you said that you recently added her on social medias?
Disregarding the other part of it which I'm not very equipped to comment on. But having friendly humans around is very important.

I know the feels Jopax. Been outta the game for a long time, finally connected with someone....and it was like "Oh shit, this is happening. Now what do I do?" Turns out, she had pretty much the same feelings. A total lack of knowing what to do or where to go from the basic "Yes I'm attracted to you" level.

So since lots of places ramped up emergency alcogel production there's been lots of complaints of stinky alcogel (up to customers in the store refusing to use it because of the smell). Saying that it smells just like booze, like really bad booze, and that it doesn't come off.

I've been lucky to avoid getting any of those products on my hands until today when I visited the local health centre for a shot.

I thought they were just being petulant but boy do my hands drink now. It's bad enough to give me a headache.

Sigh, the things I do for lovethe barely minimum anti-epidemic spread efforts
