I love kitties that like to be involved! My parents neighbors cat loves to spend time with them and will follow them around and hang out while they work in the garden and do yardwork!

What a cutie! Are they friendly?

No, sphinxes naturally have very short or nonexistent whiskers. Poor OP has to deal with accusations of animal cruelty every time they post, I would have given up by now

WHAT A TWISTY KITTY!

Murphy’s such a delight fellow! Thanks for sharing!

I was a developer at Oracle. We got handed down sales goals. ??? It was a running joke in our org that oracle is a sales company and we just scramble to make what they’re selling. When I left half our org had been laid off or left. Only got two raises in the 5 years I was there. Not worth.

Start dripping

I love bandit so much, thank you for sharing!

It’s the thought that counts =D

Thank you, that’s made my morning so much better!

His happiness is written all over his face!

Advantage and disadvantage also came out of it! As a way to simplify buffs and nerfs, because 4e had way too much small stuff to keep track of.

There’s only 4 classes, reskinned as a lot more. The power system means there’s very little you can do magic wise out of combat, and with how the powers were daily/encounter/at will, if you didn’t resolve combat by dumping your big powers you were in for a slog of “I use this at will attack again”, every round, at every level. All the powers gave a ton of tiny random bonuses that were such a pain to keep track of it led to the creation of advantage and disadvantage. All the at will powers are “I attack and another small bonus thing happens”, so if you want the bonus thing but no enemies are in range, guess what, you’re attacking the wall/the ground/whatever. Honestly just a miserable time for the most part. What it had going for it was that it was incredibly simple to pick up, because all the classes worked exactly the same. It also simplified 3.5e’s cool but overly complicated skills

The worst system I’ve ever played was dnd 4e. It was the first one I played so I thought it was great at the time but fuck, it was only built for combat and it sucked at combat. You would take forever doing pointless attacks for the other minor bonuses they would give. 0/10 would never play again

It’s blahaj

I love the 2nd picture, you can barely find any distinguishable cat parts, it’s just a sea of fluff

Yeaaaaaaa! What about social studies/history?

There’s always someone who’s looking to interpret what you say as badly as possible so they can feel good about confronting you about it. I’m not being like “oh people these days are too sensitive”, just… some people take everything way too seriously and are looking for things to be upset over and I hate when that’s me. Really pokes my anxiety tbh. I want to stress it’s not like I’m out here making shitty edgy jokes and then getting upset when no one likes them, it’s just day to day comments. I dunno. I overthink a lot about whether I’m the problem, had an extremely negative self image for a long time where I blamed myself for every negative interaction I had and it’s hard to let that go.

Like, just happened

And like there’s genuinely good positive replies and interactions, but they don’t stick with me like the negative ones do.

I’m mentally fragile I guess, I just honestly do my best to be an understanding and accepting and positive person and it hurts to have somebody think the opposite, even though their opinion has absolutely no bearing on my life. I dunno, it’s… I guess it’s because I’m trying to be perfectly pleasing people generally and when I fall short of that impossible standard it hurts. I’m massively overthinking this, I know. Just something that’s been weighing on my mind.

I’ve been commenting less because it feels like the amount of vitriol is going up. Why stress myself with people’s responses when no one really cares what I have to say

There’s no feeling quite as nice as making an animal incredibly happy
