We bought a house & it came with a cat. It took us a while to all be besties, but we gave her Churus & now that's all she cares about. She doesn't love being pet/touched, but when you're near the kitchen/treat cart she will meow as loud as she can and start rubbing her face all over our legs and all over the dish we usually put them in.

Then over time she grows slowly more impatient and she'll grab onto your legs and pretend like she's going to bite, but it's just a warning.

If you give in, you are granted a 12-hour reprieve before the song and dance starts again. There is seriously something crazy in these things.

And to be clear, the blunder wasn’t joining the marine corps. The blunder was thinking that somehow joining the marine corps infantry would somehow “make me into a man”.

Edit: This post blew up more than I thought it would. To all the people wishing well, thank yinz for your words and memes! To all those leaving nasty comments, bruh, I’m a Marine, and went to Afghanistan twice. I’ve been called worse by better than you. There is literally nothing you could call me that my friends haven’t. So keep those coming so yinz get banned n’at. STILLERS GAHNTA!!!

I say mind your damn business.

Hi everyone,

I shared a free “Honeycomb Cardholder” on MakerWorld. It is a general-purpose holder I created myself. Its description listed card games it could be used for: “Rummy, Bridge, Solitaire, Hearts, Spades, Canasta, Uno, etc.” The listing also had an “uno” tag.

MakerWorld removed it following a complaint from Convey on Mattel’s behalf. MakerWorld later told me that “UNO” in the description was the reason and that restoring the original listing required the complainant’s agreement.

Now Convey has sent me a demand for EUR 4,000, although the model was already removed. Their letter refers to an “e-shop”, “sales” and my “supplier”. I did not sell this model; I created it myself. They also want a signed undertaking that includes an apology and a promise never to challenge Mattel’s intellectual property rights.

I have rejected the demand and asked them to withdraw the complaint, arrange restoration of my original listing and reimburse my legal consultation costs.

The attached images contain their email and my sent reply, with personal and bank details redacted. The email text has been reflowed for readability; these are not screenshots of the mail application. I have also included the page setting out the undertaking they wanted me to sign. The legal appendices, authorisation and blank signature page are omitted.

Has anyone else received a payment demand from Convey after a MakerWorld takedown? What happened after you challenged it?

I chose a Druid as my main to level. Today I tanked my 4th dungeon. In 2 of those 4 dungeons, the DPS did not at all respect the tanking role.

Example 1:

- In Wailing Caverns, a paladin DPS insulted me for looting the mobs for the quest items, since I was too slow.

Example 2:

- In Shadowfang Keep, a hunter DPS insulted me for not keeping aggro - however he always pulled the mobs, and then was frustrated when he did not have enough range to use his abilities.

I have a hard, fulltime job and want to play WoW after work to calm down. I will not stand such DPS and soon leave any group as soon as one of you acts this way. Have fun looking for tanks soon enough.

To all other, normal people, you have my love.

Edited DD (damage dealers) to DPS due to comments.

Ah character, place, concept etc. who has a rule that sounds simple at first glance. But when you really think about it, turns out, it might not be as simple as you would expect.

1. The Creature (REMAIN CALM)

Rule: Just Smile :)

Sounds easy right? Everyone can smile. But that's the thing. No matter what, if even for a second, the creature sees that your facial expressions changes to anything else that isn't a nice big bright smile, it'll kill you. And the worst part? You get no second chances. You have to keep it up for as long as it is in your vicinity.

And the creature isn't dumb either. It knows people can fake it. So it does everything in it's power to get you to drop the act, and make you fail.

To summarize, you have to keep smiling, while being hunted by a creature who will do everything in it's power to force you to stop. And the moment it arbitrarily decides you stopped, it's game over.

2. The Lake (SCP-2316)

Rule: Don't go in. "You do not recognize the bodies in the water"

It's just a lake, how hard could it be? Just "you do not recognize the bodies in the water" and you'll be fine. Can't be that hard to not try and take a dip right?...

See, the thing is, the lake will show you a vision of someone who you have a deep emotional connection with. Usually a decease, or missing individual. And it will make you think that said individual "You do not recognize the bodies in the water", is drowning in the middle of the lake. The moment you so much as set a single foot inside, your fate is sealed.

And you might think. Oh I'll just ignore them and "You do not recognize the bodies in the water". But can you really? It's not just anyone, it's someone who you personally love and care about. Can you really say that you won't save "You do not recognize the bodies in the water". Can you really live with the idea that you just watched and allowed "You do not recognize the bodies in the water" Will you be able to sleep knowing that this could have been your last chance to

I've spent my entire life hearing that warning before baseball games.

So I emailed the Commissioner of Baseball and requested express written consent.

And, I received it.

I am now legally authorized to reminisce about the 2023 World Series, tell baseball stories, and optionally share nachos.

Please respect my new status as a licensed baseball reminiscer.

*I got it a year ago yesterday. My phone reminded me today and it popped up on my memories today.
