Until my bentos are made chapter 1

I purchased a CPO honda odyssey from Wesley chapel honda in Florida, via Driveway.com, this month.
A few issues. 1. The car broke down shortly after receiving it, and it needs a new alternator and a new battery. No one seems to want to help me with this issue, driveway does have a 60 day warranty program they are unwilling to honor, because they say since the car is CPO it should be covered by Honda. Honda, says this is not the case, and driveways warranty should cover it. It took over a week of my car sitting in the shop for them to relay this information to me. This means I have been without my car, for over a week (almost the same amount of time that I’ve actually owned the car) with three small children at home and no other means of transportation.
I purchased a Honda for the space (minivan!) and reliability. I feel like I was scammed and sold a total lemon of a car. The warranty is not being honored as promised on the website and on the hold message when you call the company.
Also, I asked several times to be resent my final contract package from both driveway, and the dealership they used. I cannot get the car registered without this information. I was under the impression they registered the car for me, but then I was told to go register it and do not have the proper paperwork to do so, now my temporary tag is expired, and the car is literally sitting at the shop and cannot be driven anyway due to the alternator.
Final take - don’t do it. While the employees are pleasant, and trying their best, they seem to be met with bogus policies and road blocks and can’t actually help and It’s impossible to speak to someone hire up with more authority. It’s been 3 weeks of owning this car and I am stuck with a car I cannot drive or register.

TW: SA, racism, classism, ableism.
I posted here a while back about a group friendship I ended almost a year back.
I’m Latina. This group is white. A sexual predator sexually predator’d twice. They forcibly tried to kiss two different people two different times.
When I called this out, I was called transphobic and I have a problem with trans people using bathrooms now, apparently.
There is one person out of the group (the other ones silently consent) who goes for an attempt at character assassination.
Their partner left them for someone else, and this person falsely accused them of sexual assault and abuse. They’re trying to ruin this persons life and livelihood by calling their work to have them fired on stuff they made up.
They’ve posted about my life, financial situation, mental/neurological conditions, parenting, etc in disparaging ways. Character murder pretty much.
I have a lot of trust issues around white acquaintances and friends now. I recently realized that I was forged in white spaces because I was raised to believe (my mom is pretty racist too) white people are superior.
I’ve been on a journey to undo everything I thought I knew about race and bigotry. In all of this, I’ve grown contempt and resentment to white people. My partner is white, my kids are mixed. My best friends are white among others.
New white people, meeting them, vetting them, etc. after all this trauma and enabling that I’ve experienced, how do you trust white folk? Do you just keep those you have and forget everyone else? How do you trust that this person isn’t a racist, classist, ableist person?
I don’t want to flip the script and be bigoted toward white people, but how do I protect myself and my family?

Even as I begin to write this I am aware that I am asking a flock of autistic people, who are probably in a similar if not the exact same boat to me, how to socialize. I just thought that maybe people have learned some ways that have worked for them that I could try.
I have football trials and have had multiple previously, but they've never worked out, not due to my football ability but because I don't meet the social standard. It is really dumb because they actually asses you on how well you get along with other and speaking to them.
In all of my teams, even the one I've been at for almost a decade, I've never really had friends. To make friends I've always relied on my pre made friends, friends which I've had literally for ever that I have made in my small school and grew up with. If I'm with them I feel confident enough to go up to someone tell them my name and try to encourage them to lead the conversation. None of my friends have been on my teams so that method hasn't worked.
The issue with trials are is that people won't just come up and talk to the new kid, so I can't rely on other to lead the conversation because I'm going to have to at least start it. And that's the issue. I don't know how.
Not only do I have social anxiety but I have realised, not that I hadn't gathered before, but I just generally do not know how to run a conversation with someone who I've never seen before. I work in conversation by having all the previous information I've collected to agree and interest the other person because I know there opinions and people always like when someone tells them they're right.
My idea was that 99% of people won't know me so I'm just going to go in as a completely different person, confident extroverted and going up to everyone and making friends. If you hadn't figured out THAT was the point I realised I was way out of my league. I've tried remembering past people who have been what I am aiming for, but I still need a bit of intel to actually act the part.
So yes. I apologise for the length and hope someone has botgered to at least read this part.
I AM DESPERATE FOR WAY TO BE SOICIABLE AND MAKE FRIENDS WITH PEOPLE I DONT KNOW

Good afternoon everyone!
Thought I would take to the Redditverse and see what it would offer back.
Been divorced for about a year and been on a journey of being single(on purpose) and here is what I have learned about myself: - I was the product of emotionally immature parents - I was constantly focused on being a “nice guy” to separate myself from the pack - I needed to focus on my mental and physical masculinity to combine with the divine to be equal parts balanced (this is a work in progress but it is is motivation constantly). -Life is finite and we need to have good social relationships in our lives (this does not mean those that are “transactional” in nature) -Romantic relationships have been something I have never been good at and it was because of a lot of bad examples, bad thinking, patterns, behaviors, and the EI parental structure I had (therapy has taken me quite far). -Dating in my 40’s has taught me quite a lot so far and admittedly its been an adventure. -We are constantly evolving as humans.
What I am looking for here: -First and foremost, No expectations, we respect each others time but also have common courtesy. -Age range: Late 20’s to Mid 40’s (seriously I know there are some old souls out there) -I would prefer someone in the US, no offense but unless you are willing to sponsor me to move to another country its difficult with time differences. 😂🤣 -Someone who is as motivated in life as me (early riser for the gym 5 out of the 7 days of the week, healthy-ish eating habits, not a huge drinker, exposing myself to the outside world, wanting to live life more open and free, small living in order to open to travel) -Has a worldly view but is not too leaning to the left (There is vast chasm between the word “woke” and the word “liberal”) -Doesn’t mind borrowing philosophies from other religions but doesn’t currently subscribe to their being any sort of deity that runs their life -I’m sorry but I am not there yet to where I can live an organic, soy-free, vegan, sulfate-free, etc lifestyle so I apologize. -I live in Texas but I work remote so if you are in another state we can absolutely have a wonderful conversation but if it were to progress, it would take a lot of hard work and dedication to make something work long distance. -I am in the middle of a body transformation journey. My body is my own. I am confident in who I am. I have loose skin. It is a part of me. I will not accept anything less than people around me who accept me for me. I will be happy to provide pictures of me no matter what and if we don’t match physically, then we don’t
Things we have in common: -Love of music (all types). I was a product of the grunge era 90s rock, numeral, etc. That’s what i gravitate to. No offense but I don’t know much Indie artists, current pop, etc. -Love of humor. Dark, sarcasm, gifs, I would prefer no self-deprication, and things stay positive. -Sports. I am a sports fan but not a fanatic. (Saints and LSU are my two main teams) -Books and reading. My iPad is my library. I am currently reading the first book in the Terminal List series, the 3rd book in John Grisham’s Jake Brigance series, The Recovering from Emotionally Immature Parent, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*#k. -Water. Being on it, in it, and near it. -A love of cooking. I am originally from New Orleans and it is in my DNA. I have modified a lot of my cooking to be (modified) Keto friendly but i love cooking Asian, Italian, Tex-Mex, and of course all of the Louisiana classics. Let’s share food p%$n pics. -Please be a professional when it comes to your work life. I have worked very hard to get to where I am in mine and would hope you are as driven as I am. -Travel and adventure. I have my passport, TSA Pre-Check and have a bucket list I want to achieve starting in 2024. -I do like to go out and enjoy all types of new adventures but I am over clubbing, partying, and staying out all hours of the night. I am more of a “day-drinker” (not in excess) and home early-ish. -The love of the art of “conversation”. The true getting to know one another on a deep level as a person. The all encompassing type of conversation. -If height matters to you (which it does for some reason), I am 6’2”.
Thank you for reading my dissertation and if you have made it this far and are a fan of the genre of music that i like name your favorite rock song. I look forward to your chat request. Hope you are having a great Sunday afternoon and evening!

I've never cared to paint my mechs. Never really had an interest... however, over the last several months, I have seem some absolutely AMAZING work being done here, especially how small these bloody things are in the first place. So that got me movitated to finally give this a try.
However, I am absolutely imtimiated by the sheer amount of information out there about getting started, materials, etc. Like paralyzingly (is that actually a word?) intimidated to do so.
I have some time off coming up and will be home for several weeks in the summer and I thought that might be a good opportunity to try this part of the hobby.
So, here's my dilemna... how do I separate the chaff from what is actually useful?
So, fellow Mechwarriors.... I am going to ask for your input by asking the following questions:

1. What are the best introductory videos on YouTube (or other places) that will allow an absolute beginner (like me) to get a good feel to how to get started painting?
   
2. What are the best paints out there to use?
   
3. What are the best supplies, like brushes, out there to use?
   
4. What is the best way to magnify your work because I'm assuming that no one uses their Mark 1 Eyeball on such small models?
   
5. Best online resources for paint schemes or ideas? I do know about camospecs.com but are there others?
   
6. Anything else out there I may be missing?
   

Also... I'm considering getting into the 3d printing of the Minis.... so if anyone has tips on affordable 3d printers, resin, places to get mech designs the right way, etc.... that would be fantastic as well.
If enough people reply to this, maybe it can get pinned for others to find? I hope everyone may agree.
Anyway.... thank you for reading my very long post and for any help/tips/advice you may have to help a complete Noob get started. :-)

I don't understand the excess of armor nodes on the barbarian paragon, and I'm even more confused as to why they're such small amounts.
Most importantly I don't understand the existence of them at all, as my armor was completely maxed out the entire 1-50 grind, so these nodes are 100% useless
They need to be mitigation, life, dodge, barrier, literally anything else...

been doing android thing since 2017. in 2018 i got super lucky and my simple games got popular, becoming my main source of income until now.
at that time i think there's no Compose or Kotlin so i code with Java and XML. I am also not a good programmer, just super lucky.
Years went by and Google start to introduce Kotlin, Compose, Flutter, etc. And it seem they keep pushing us programmer to use their new toys.
I am not gonna lie, the shiny tech that google made interested me and i have urge to learn them.(i tried to learn it at some moment but abandon it)
the thing is, my app is already stable, small in size, generating great revenue and is TOP 10 in my country with 70thousand DAU. replacing it with new Tech would be hard, and i don't want to debug, i afraid it will break, it's my main source of income after all.
Also i am very concerned with APK size. If i add Kotlin or Compose it would increase the size, also it requires minSDK 21 (mine is 19). My competitors seems to be using Java since their apk size is small, and they support SDK lower than 19 (if if remember correctly).
Newer tech seem to use Declarative way. I am used to code with Imperative and that difference of concept made me confused. That's why i am having hard time learning SwiftUI (Planning to make iOS app as well).
If you were in my position, what would you do guys ?
Reading my user reviews, lot of them demand to add more level to the game, so i spend more time to make content instead of coding.
Is it safe if i keep going like this, with Java and XML ? Will google abandon or deprecate some of the features in the future ?
My question seems stupid but that's because i am not smart or good programmer. I am just super lucky.

How do I know if what I'm experiencing is abuse, or if it's all in my mind, and I'm really the cause of all of the issues?
For years now, I felt like I can’t do anything right. The beginnings of our relationship and our marriage were fantastic. It moved a little too fast, if I might be honest, but it felt like it was perfect. Within months of meeting each other, we were planning a future together, and moving in with eachother. In what seemed like a blink of an eye, we were engaged, and married, all in under a year. Our first year of marriage had little fights here and there, and bouts of her not talking to me, but in the end, it was all fine. Then… I bought us our first house (literally… dumped my entire life savings into buying it, and renovating it myself). But then, it started getting difficult. We had really high highs, and really low lows. Each low was set off by something little too, like I left a spot of something on the kitchen counter, or that I moved something in the wrong spot. Sometimes it was that I didn’t want to work on a house renovation after a long day at work. I felt like our marriage was falling apart. Sex disappeared almost entirely. And always, when our fights came to an end, I was the one at fault. I was always told that what I did was wrong, and when I tried to talk about it, I was called mean.
We continued to have ups and downs over the years, and things progressively got better. That is, until we had a child together. At that point, I couldn’t do anything right, at all. She took something I said (“I can’t do this”) the day we came home with our child, something that happened right as I was woken up by our child crying, and I was shaking from severe lack of sleep. She took that, and immediately decided we needed to move in with her parents. I worked from home most days, so I was always taking care of the baby, literally, everything. I was always the one feeding the baby, changing diapers, putting them down for nap, getting them to sleep. Very rarely did my wife step in and do any of these things. I knew there was a degree of postpartum depression, and I tried to talk to her about it, but whenever I did, she not only shut herself out away from me for days at a time, when things were “resolving”, all of my weak points as a parent were always criticized, and I’d be told that I was a mean person. I eventually was so burnt out, that I lost my primary source of income, and only had my side business left. I tried to get another job, but i was getting nowhere. Paying for some bills at her parents house, and entirely paying the mortgage and bills for a house we weren’t living in for a year, with no assistance from anyone, and no more high income job. I was financially crushed. Some massively crazy stuff happened with her family, and we were essentially pressured to move out.
We moved, and I felt isolated. No car (she made me sell it as it needed repairs. Promised me she’d get me a lease… the car was in her name, although I paid it off entirely), still no job (I must have applied to 300 places by then), and she wouldn’t allow me to get out and build my business as it took focus away from the baby. Almost two years of that, and being a stay at home dad, in debt now because the money my business made went to paying bills that surpassed what I was making. Then, her parents came to us, in financial ruin, about to lose their house. We were looking to move again, and buy another house. They wanted to tag along. Miraculously, they came up with a good sum of money, and gifted it to us to help buy the house for everyone. Now, we were both under the impression this was temporary, and that they wanted to move to another state once they got back on their feet and their foreclosure was finished. I wouldn’t have agreed to it otherwise, especially after how they treated us living in their house. They moved in, and I was finally able to get out and build my business up, as I had someone to watch our child. But… once that started happening, my money went to quite literally everything, and I got to enjoy none of it. Between paying for materials for home renovations, increasing how much I’ve been paying for bills, taking on ALL of the house utilities, and buying food (which… if she goes food shopping, she makes me pay her back), I feel like I’m back to where I was years ago.
Since we moved in, I’ve basically rebuilt this entire house myself, right down to the studs. Most of it… on my own dime too. My in-laws did work on their section of the house too, and most of it has been quite shoddy, that I’ve had to redo. They’ve since moved out, claiming we kicked them out (although they were screaming at us weekly asking for their money back, saying we weren’t doing enough for them), and their foreclosure ended, and they still owe hundreds of thousands of dollars on the house, and are also suing us, even though we offered to give the money back that they gave us.
Now, my wife works an extra job, not because she needs it, but because she wants to. And she uses it to entirely fund her clothing addiction. Always getting something for herself. She’s never home, so almost all of the daily house routines fall to me.
Now… I’m working a lot, even though my wife hates it. And I have a child to take care of, when they’re not at school. I try my best. Sometimes I can’t clean everything perfectly, or I don’t get a chance to clean certain rooms or keep up after my child. Everything that doesn’t get done, instead of letting me do it when I can, she gets angry about. Doesn’t talk to me for days. She constantly criticizes me for everything too, things like “you’re always messy”, or “you can’t even put the dishes away right”. Always telling me that if I had better time management, that I’d be able to get things done.
I feel so disconnected. I literally have no one else to talk to. No friends… just my child, who recognizes when I’m sad and hurt, and shouldn’t have to be there to help me. I have no idea what to do. I don't even have a way to get out of the house anymore, even if I wanted to. My car was in her name (as it used to be hers), and she's sold it on me, to pay off her debts.

We have raised chickens for over 20 years. Never had too many predator issues, the occasional raccoon or possum might sneak in once a year or so. We kept the old chicken coop sealed up well enough (with proper ventilation). Had the Premier 1 electric poultry fence. We moved to a new farm almost two years ago and just had our second mass killing occur last week. Only suitable location for a new coop build was on the edge of the wood lot. I built the coop myself. Went a little overboard, 16x25’ but very happy with it. We extended the electric fencing to over 300 feet to give our sixty-some birds ample foraging space in safety. Last year, in the course of two nights all 55 birds were dead. Gruesome scene, body parts everywhere. It took some research to settle on the weasels. Carcasses with the innards torn out, heads missing, etc. I figured they were getting int through the ventilation gap where the exterior walls meet the trusses/roof. I installed heavy-duty hardware cloth over all openings and proceeded to rebuild the flock. Everything had gone well until last week when I went down south with my brother to visit family. My wife stayed on the farm with the children and animals. I got a phone call a few days after we’d left that chickens were disappearing. All 35 recently-feathered chicks were no where to be found. Multiple chicken corpses lay within the run. I tried trouble shooting with her over the phone. The electric fence seemed to be dead, but a weasel could get through that anyway (turned out energizer had gone bad). I asked her to look around inside of coop and patch any holes big enough for a mouse to get through. Every night more chickens were killed and she felt hopeless, as did I. By the time I returned all but 4 of our many birds were dead. I found that the hardware cloth had been torn aside near the roof/wall junction. Patches of light-brown fur and scat were present, as well. I reinforced the entire area and haven’t had trouble yet. I’m desperate for anyone with experience with similar trouble. It keeps me up at night. I’ve set traps to no avail. Many times I’ve come out with my shotgun in hand to loud disturbances; but always hear the critter rustle back into the woods before I’m anywhere near. What else can I do? These weasels are very intelligent and their thirst for blood is insatiable.

I am not sure how much to charge for the following - I received this information from a family I will potentially be part time nannying for. I am meeting with them in a few days and would like to have a rate prepared prior. Thank you in advance! —- “Our daughter is enrolled in a summer camp M-F, 9 AM-3 PM. I am pregnant and due at the end of the summer, so I will especially need help when my husband is working and I am having a challenging day.
We will require assistance 3-4 days a week but are very flexible. On the days our daughter attends camp, we would appreciate it if you could come over around 1 or 1:30 PM to help with dinner preparation, pick her up from camp before 3 PM, and engage in activities with her until 5 or 5:30 PM.
On the days when she does not go to camp, we would like you to arrive in the late morning and stay for as long as you prefer. During these days, we would love to establish a comfortable relationship with you where you could take her to places such as the zoo, park, or engage in other outdoor activities. Additionally, I would like to arrange playdates with her friends periodically on these days, so there may be 1-2 additional girls present.” —- Thoughts: -The family lives 20 minutes away from me, and I will be driving the child from her camp to their house, so I’m not sure if I should factor in some sort of mileage charge for that? -If I am expected to help prepare for dinner would that add on to what my hourly rate would be for just normal nannying? -I live in a MCOL area, am a recent college graduate, and have usually been charging $20/hr for one child

So my PCs just fought Hastain and managed to capture her alive, but their spelljamming helm was disabled for 10 days. I'm not sure if I've made a mistake somewhere, but what I understood from the book is that Hastain attacks the party a bit after they've left the Rock of Bral. This means my PCs still have approximately 30 days of travel (according to a map of Realmspace I've found on the internet).
I really like the idea of using the kindori to escape out the situation, but how are they supposed to survive on a constantly moving kindori's back for a month? Even if the party's artificer fills his bag of holding with as many rations as he can, is it possible for them to make it? 1 month is a long time to just stay on a flying whale's back, especially for whoever has to keep steering it towards the destination.
Because I've changed a detail in the campaign, a mercane owes them a ship back in Bral, but he told them to come back in a few days at least, since he would need time to sell the merchantise they gave him and make a profit out of it. My plan was that, when the party reaches Topolah without a ship, she would offer to teleport them back to a familiar place (Bral) and the PCs could get their very own ship. But now I'm thinking if they should just ride the kindori back to Bral, which is a much shorter trip, and somehow persuade the mercane to get them a ship asap.
Am I missing a detail in the book or is it just a plot hole that WotC won't bother explaining?

First off apologies if this turns into a bit of a ramble. I decided to create an account to post about my experience of the game so far.
​
Bought the game and xpacs around the first week of May and have already wracked up nearly 155 hours. Occasionally I have left the game running while I have been doing other things, but the majority of the time has been in-game figuring things out.
The crazy thing when I first stumbled into the subreddit was seeing all the "I'm still a noob, only X hundred hours played" posts and wondered wtf was going on. Didn't realise people were actually being serious and it was just a joke.
I can honestly say in the ~155 hours I have played I have barely scratched the surface. I completely understand what all those posts were about now.
I have had about 3 or 4 runs at the moment. Each not getting too far in till I decided to restart and try a different strat or start. My main focus has been on the economy. I have to admit this game tickles every single dopamine receptor I have for gaming. My previous go to was Patrician 4 purely because of the logistic side of things and trying to get that efficiency across the Hansa.
So, like I said, I have been focusing on the economy and struggling along, picking up bits of information and refining what I do. The mules and warehouse mod has been an absolute godsend. It just makes getting things moving so much easier.
Admittedly I did have some troubles with it at the beginning where my ships didnt seem to want to transfer anything. I got round this by the following:

• making sure static set to <15% rest was default on dist mules
• let stock build up
• turned off auto buy allocation and set it to max
• turned off auto pricing and set -/+ 10% of avg

This seemed to get things moving around although I do still get the odd time where ships just keeps taking things back and forward.
I have also been dabbling with mining stations. These seem like a good way of keeping output maxed while distributing resources to the required station. Was using L miners to gather and M to move things.
I have got as far as making a hull parts factory most of the time before things start to slow down a bit and I make an attempt at another method of keeping credits flowing in to match the building I have been doing.
My last play I went and claimed the abandoned destroyer from Xenon space and then bought a fleet of 20 Ides Vanguard then created 2/3 ship fleets at each of the shipyard/warfs set as an anchor and then set them to DeadTater. This was pretty decent until activity started ramping up. I couldnt keep up the building and ship losses made that worse.
My current playthrough I have had 2 interceptors set on repeat orders to fly and wait behind the Second Contact / True Sight gate then Collect Drops. I then have a third interceptor set to Inventory Collector (great mod btw). This has been generating some great income which has helped me quickly spin up a mining station, solar station, graphene and refined metals factories.
The only issue with this current playthgrough is the Xenon seem to be pretty aggressive and have wiped out the Argon Warf. I have resorted to using the Paranid Warf as my ship maker for the time being. I dont think this is even that long into the palythrough, around 10 hours.
This has slowed down my build speed as I keep losing interceptors and the Argons were pretty cheap to buy from. I also seem to be stuck with nearly 8m worth of illegal stuff because I dont have enough rep with the HAT Free Port to sell slicers and other items of the ilk. I have been working on this though. I had already completed the initial HAT plot line and have grabbed some other smaller quests.
​
Some issues that I have run into:
Stations do not have any traffic.
Literally zero civillian traffic floating around a station. The usual NPC ships come and go but nothing that would turn criminal that you can shoot for rep. Fix this by save and reload.
Stations not being populated with traders.
Walking into the trading area and there is no NPC to speak to. Same with other areas of the station, save the manager, generally. Save and reload to fix.
Game doesn't exit or reload properly. Recently I have found that when I save and reload the game it just gets stuck on initialising. Does nothing after that and I have to force quit and restart the game.
Similarly when exiting the game it just gets stuck on the last scene shown and then I have to open task manager and close it.
Mods I currently use:

• VRO
• VRO Icon Pack
• Mules, Supply and Warehouses Extended
• Cleaner HUD
• Kuda AI Tweaks
• Sector Satellites
• Inventory Collector
• Sector Patrol
• Sector Explorer
• TaterTrade
• Player Restock Subordinates

I Have tried to keep it pretty close to vanilla - I see these as almost required QoL mods.
I have plans in future to try out the SW Interworlds mod. Love the idea of this.

Hello! Cross-posted from dogtraining.
We have a 6yo border collie who is obsessive about herding our 4yo orange cat. For the first two years of the cat's life, we kept them completely separated since we knew the border collie liked to herd cats, but he (the cat) was very vocally upset about being restricted from parts of the house. When we moved houses we decided to try coexisting.
The orange cat, as they usually are, is VERY friendly. He LOVES her attention, that she stares at him, follows him, chases him. A primary struggle with teaching her to not chase him is that he often interferes with the training by trying to encourage her to chase him! Because of this, we've mostly stopped trying to train her and have just managed the situation (kennel her if she gets too overstimulated, setup pet gates to give him areas where she can't reach him, etc).
But the border collie has been pressing boundaries recently by making contact with her nips or aiming at his face because he doesn't react when she nips the air anymore. So I'm ready to step in and try training again because I want to prevent her escalating to biting just to get him to move (so she can then chase/herd him).
I know HOW to train this (interrupt chasing with rewards, teach leave it, reward for looking at me instead of staring at him, work up slowly by starting at a farther distance until they can be near each other, etc), but what has always stopped this in the past is HIM (the cat). When we give her treats, he freaks out and comes running to investigate/earn treats (very food motivated). If you try to work with her to not chase him, he just goes zooming in and out of the room and meows at her, trying to get her to chase! I don't know how to train her to exist near him calmly when any attempts to do so cause him to insert himself in the situation lol.
And just to add, attempts to restrain the cat (carrier, holding him, putting him on a leash) just lead to him moving erratically or meowing for attention which are triggers for her to herd. But giving her attention is a trigger for him to be a greedy little attention goblin.
It seems like I should start with training HIM, but then we have the same problem, with her going into herding mode when he receives any attention. So any advice on how to train either or both of them? They both do fine in separate rooms, can take food and etc, but as soon as the barrier is removed, I don't know how to keep either from interfering with the others training. 🙃
And just to clarify on the nipping, I am not worried about her killing him, that's not her instinct. She just wants him to move when he's sitting/laying down/etc, and he's EXTREMELY tolerant, so the only thing that gets a reaction from him lately is when she does make contact with her teeth and he gives her a pitiful "that wasn't nice" meow lol. He does not ever hiss at her, the most he does is stand on two legs and have his paws ready to lightly boop her (he does have claws but never uses them on her). I kinda wish he'd be more assertive with her because she doesn't press these boundaries with my parents cats who ARE assertive with her. She literally only is with him because he's so chill and lets her 😭 but on the flip side, hoping his friendliness allows training to get them to a place of mutual, somewhat calm, cohabitation. I don't expect her herding instinct to go away, I just want to manage it so it's less intense!
Anyways, thanks in advance!

Hello ppls. Recently I have been thinking and I have decided that I want to use my old realm again and let people join, who are looking for a server to play on. So I have recently made a new world for it and some of my friends have already started playing on it. Its an 18+ realm, so no kids or anything like that to ruin your game with griefing and all. Its a friendly realm, so no being nasty or anything like that will be tolerated. I have made a discord server that you can be added to, its fairly new and still a work in progress, but I do want to start a friendly community of players.
Rules of the realm:
•No Cheating or Hacks •No Stealing •No Lying •No Griefing, otherwise you will be removed •Be friendly to other players •Be nice and have fun •No asking for OP (Cheats are off) •No sharing of the realm code/link to other people, unless given permission to do so •No spamming of words or offensive words •No racism or hateful speech •Treat players and people with respect •Swearing is allowed to an extent, as long as there's no excessive language used.
I will DM you the code to the realm privately, please do not share the code with anyone else please. I will also send you the link to the discord server. The realm is crossplat, I play on xbox/ps4 so it's a bedrock realm. My timezone is UK time too.

Hey there, thanks for stopping by!
You can call me Calvin. I moved to the Nashville area last September and I've been hoping to find someone nice to talk to. I'm not a big Redditor, I use this account mostly to meet people. However you can check out some other posts I've made like this for more information about myself (also a picture!).
I think most of the time I give off the impression to people that I'm very relaxed, kind hearted, and pleasant to be around. I go to the gym pretty regularly, so I tend to have healthy (boring?) lifestyle choices. As in I barley ever drink, I don't ever smoke, I'm not really a clubbing person. I am introverted but I do live a fairly active lifestyle. Preferable social activities for me are arcades, hiking, movies, skating, board games, and more. The gym for me is normally a solitary activity, but I do have others. I play games sometimes, I'm really interested in chess, I listen to podcasts, I used to be a small streamer, I watch anime, etc. I work full-time at the moment as a software QA in a consulting firm. IT is something I recently got a career in, but it's definitely not the only thing I'm interested in. I'm also pursuing an online degree in computer science as well.
Underneath this palpitating aura of coolness that I (obviously) exude, I have gone through a lot of tough mental challenges and personal growth. I regularly try to educate myself on learning about different perspectives and life experiences of others. I want to be very patient, and understanding of people's circumstances and personalities. I've worked with children, people with autism, disabilities, and have struggled a lot with mental illness myself. Psychology is a field I've studied extensively both personally and in college and improving yourself is something I advocate very strongly for most people.
Anyway! I'm rambling and I wanted to get to some bullet points. You can use these as a honest summation of myself from the most trustworthy source ever (me!)
Pros of Talking To Me: -I don't really have arguments with people -I have experience (and a desire!) with talking to people all over the world -I'm a rubber ball of laughs and fun-I tend to have good internal dialogue I can communicate well to people -I'm generally self reliant and don't normally ask foexpect things from others -I wish to be helpful and encouraging to people wanting to improve themselves -I don't mind talking to people even if I'm not attracted to them
Cons of Talking To Me: -I don't know a lot of things about the world, and I lack many different life experiences -I don't think I'm as conventionally charismatic or adept at making friends -Sometimes it can be hard for me to try new things, encouragement can be helpful -I've had various negative past experiences with self deprecation and lack of confidence in myself -I try to joke and be fun but I do think I come across as boring, depressed or too serious sometimes -If you live outside of the US it might be difficult to talk to you as much or meet you eventually
Pros of Dating Me: -I'm not necessarily looking for someone with the same goals as me -I used to be more clingy when I was 18/19, but I don't identify with being that way anymore, even to people I really like -I've never struggled with too much of an ego or overconfidence - I don't have set standards for people I'm willing to date, in terms of religion, politics, backgrounds, ethnicity, illnesses or social status. Being kindhearted is good for getting my attention -I've been really interested in learning about experiences of women and have had lots of female friends over the years -I'm willing to relocate to see you
Cons of Dating Me: -I don't have very much sexual/dating experience -I don't currently own a car -I used to identify with the redpill/blackpill community, but I've since seen the light (hurray!) -I've had prior negative relationship experiences that reinforced a lack of confidence in myself. They were a long time ago and I've worked through them a lot, but maybe it can be a point of conversation? -I don't normally have as much time for voice calls during the day, but I will try on weekends! -I don't think I would want a child until I am at least 30 and am better off financially
So that it! It took a while to write all this out, I appreciate you reading as much as you did. If any of these are green flags for you, feel free to send me a message. Maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised! If this essay still hasn't convinced you yet, I still have this final reward I wanted to share with you. I took a photoshoot last November, so if you message me I will send you a link where you can see more pictures of myself if you would like me to. However, I would prefer not to post it in this thread here.
Thanks for coming, and I hope you have a nice rest of your day
