We have an Army of toads- including one that visits and sits under the porch light to eat bugs. Our cats assume anytime we tell them no, and shoo them from an animal, it's a pet. Which is why Charlie the Chimpmunk spent a year stealing candy and snacks from my daughter. The frogs are a new addition, but welcome. I spent my youth in the Infantry, at war. Im spending my 'retirement' live and let live (unless safety is involved. Which is why Turkey feel safe to walk through my plot, and deer bring their babies to my pasture to sleep safely. I'm really making an effort to lean into some more positivity

SerthVarnee posted:You have no idea how happy this post makes me. This choked me up. I got kinda teary eyed relaying it to my wife. This was very kind of you to tell me.  I remind myself I had a 'good war'. I got to live out childhood fantasies of being the help someone needed, and being the boogeyman who stalks the dark. The issue is that war by design is immoral- you are sending children to kill children. It's what comes after, when you get older and realize how scared you (rightfully) were, how you stayed because you wanted to be a moral cog in the immoral machine. And it's not all the Army or War's fault. It doesn't really matter. I'm in therapy (whom I think I pat 125/HR to tell me the obvious that everyone else already knows), and I'm trying to find peace with the man I became. I still feel it goes against my nature, because I never found a moment's peace until the last year or two. In reality, I want to be a Disney Princess with a Kalashnikov. I want to have my animals and be left alone to sing terribly while we play. I want the peace I was denied as a child, rebuked in my youth, and mourn the loss of as an adult. If I can work to make orphans, I can work to make art and heal. If for no other reason than my kids deserve it. My animals do, too. (Note I probably don't need to add- I take pride in the fact I was never mean for the sake of being mean, and tried to be as humane as possible in an inhumane situation. I never hurt anyone I wasn't forced to. I never killed anyone who didn't make that choice themselves. My goal was to have EVERYONE go home. We are making GBS threads up your hood- there is no reason for me to larp LAPD while I'm ruining your gate)

Nuclear Tourist posted:I saved the life of a groundhog the other day. It was blindly bumbling around outside the place I work at with a soup can stuck over its head, I managed to get a hold of it and wrench the can off. Someone had just thrown it away and the groundhog had probably shoved its head into the can looking for food and gotten its head stuck because garbage people can't throw their garbage into garbage cans. ❤❤❤ I think the measure of humanity is the risk we take for those that cannot do the same. And Groundhogs are freaking adorable.

You know what isn't coarse? Sloth.   Since I lacked a childhood full of normal experiences, my wife took me to Tanganyika Wildlife Park in KS while we were passing through in August, and I got to pet one of my favorite animals. The staff also thought I was Lenny from Of Mice and Men, and me yelling, "I love your cereal, Sam!" to a Toucan didn't help in my defense. My wife just documented, and treated me like a giant toddler with a driver's license.

MonkeyWash posted:Aww, that's awesome. I live just down the road from Tanganyika. Occasionally they have sloth yoga which my wife and daughter have gone to. I'm jealous. We detoured, and while the zoo is tiny as hell (the only zoos I've seen before were the National Zoo in DC, and when I visited the Baltimore Zoo on a field trip), it was super cool. But I can't imagine their insurance. You could- if one were to break the rules- touch a honey badger. I didn't, but only because my wife kept saying, "What happens if it hurts you?" in the same tone one uses with a preschooler. "They put it down." "Right." I def followed all the rules after that. Mostly. I can't believe how many animals, particularly primates, they have. I was also shocked that they let people in arms reach of the Mandrills (? blue faced angry monkey with big teeth). I just saw on their IG they now have Spider Monkeys you can do an encounter with. We are taking my daughter and her friend to swim with penguins, so we will be back, and I can't wait to fiddle with the creatures. They also have kangaroos you can pet, which knocked an animal off my bucket list. The only ones left are every animal on the planet I haven't pet yet (except geese and Beluga whales, both of which are the only exceptions to my nonviolence policy. They chose violence, not me)

I rarely feel good when I do good things- the exception is helping turtles across the road. Something about that always feels good, even if I did gently caress up their day a bit. Helping turtles is a bro move. I always wanted to play an instrument, but never had the opportunity or support when I was younger, and then I ended up getting a bit of a Real Estate Deal in service, and ended up with nerve damage and TBI. Finally said gently caress it, I don't care if I learn one loving song, I'm playing a loving song. You know what's worse than a Banjo? A Ukulele. What's worse than a Ukulele? A Banjo Ukulele.  And in other Good Vibes, yesterday I finally got a watch that (to me, at least) was the watch of a professional soldier- A Seiko 5 on a NATO strap. It will replace my cheap invicta and G Shock that were lost in a recent house fire. bulletsponge13 fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Oct 4, 2021 |

ASAPI posted:HA! I also have acquired a Banjo Ukulele! I had done a little research, but rolled into a small local instrument store and told them I wanted an instrument, but can't really get my hand to form traditional positions for guitar or banjo. "Can you use two fingers?" "My wife thinks so." "Then you can get away with a Uke." I wanted something that didn't sound so ukulele like, but the baritone (? Deeper sounding) one was out of my price range. So was this one, but I love bluegrass and it was only 50$- not 200$ out of my price range. Store also gives 2 free 40 minute lessons, and a 90 day check up/restring/tuning.

Leaving this someplace this week.  I saw the concept somewhere on social media, and dig it. Worse case, the police blow up 5$ worth of artin' and craftin'. Best case, someone's day gets better. I want to make it a semi-regular thing, but don't want to commit to that idea.

I have a gently caress ton of models- everything from WHFB to Terminator Game. Thousands of dollars worth of models sitting in storage waiting for our craft room to be built. I rarely game; even when I did, I wasn't doing it enough to warrant the amount I have. But I like models, I like kit bashing, and I was getting paid in store credit. I also have more Gundam than is reasonable. I don't watch the cartoon, just like robots.

I made a rule for toys at this age (just over 2). If I think it's fun, and am considering it for myself, then she won't be allowed it. E- I mowed a neighbor's yard anonymously, because it looks like they have a handful of kids, and we're going to get fined. My wife and I were talking about it. "What made you decide to do it." "War begins at home" "That's charity, sweetheart." "Not for me. I decided to do Insurgent Acts of Kindness." :shakes head with that same look you give toddlers. You know the one.: bulletsponge13 fucked around with this message at 18:39 on Nov 14, 2021 |

Wrong Theory posted:This made me laugh out loud. Good looking out! Yeah, I decided that Insurgency of Kindness is good system. I don't put expectations on myself; I don't get recognized for it (baggage, yo), and there is no schedule/timetable. It improves the world a little, costs me nothing.

It’s really interesting to hear their perspectives on (mostly) American media and music. Their video about painting along to a Bob Ross video will fill you with joy The video where they try Soul food is wonderful.
