What is this hair-like spike my sphynx has on his back?
 in  r/sphynx  3d ago

Definitely looks like the ingrown hairs that a human would get. Does it hurt him when you’ve tried to touch it? It might be worth going to the vet for if he seems uncomfortable by it.

What's the realization
 in  r/ExplainTheJoke  8d ago

My parents are a part of Gen X, such an interesting generation of people they are. Some are good, some are awful. People born between the mid 60s and 70s are in their 50s currently. They definitely see things a certain way.

It's not gross to share a toothbrush with someone you're in a relationship with
 in  r/The10thDentist  11d ago

This is an old thread, but I truly see nothing wrong with this and do it. Nothing is gross when you love someone enough.

Strange tattoo on my kitten?
 in  r/sphynx  12d ago

I didn’t say marking a cat is “unethical” I think giving a cat a detailed tattoo is unethical. A spay or neuter mark is during anesthesia for identification. The tattoo on OPs post IS unethical. And clearly everyone else in the comments agree. 👍🏻

Spaying is for the benefit of the cat…. leaving a cat unspayed leaves them open to medical complications, being massively uncomfortable while in heat. Violating but has been proven more beneficial than not spaying. Cosmetics are completely different, purely for looks. What are cats to you? Accessories? The only cosmetic you should ever put on your sphynx are sweaters.

I don’t think cropping ears, declawing, or anything else is ethical at all. We as humans can take a tattoo, consent to one, but cats can’t. A neuter or spay mark is one thing, but a whole tattoo? Cats can’t consent to anything like that. They’re confused, it’s painful. Imagine if you were a cat, without a true subconscious. Would you like it?

That is not a temporary tattoo. You can see the ink drift under the skin.

Got tipped $80 in ones
 in  r/mildlyinteresting  13d ago

$80 is $80, if it’s money it’ll spend! As a bartender, I get it. Luckily my job allows me to trade them for bigger bills before I clock out.

What the actually fuck? This reminds me of the Mexican cartel sphynx that got tattooed while being trapped in a prison. Really sad, poor kitty probably was in a lot of pain. This is not a neuter mark, this is just a tattoo. Evil.

We wanted to relive childhood and bought a pack, we have a slight suspicion we got scammed… :/

Actually a cool fake set honestly, fun novelty cards. I wouldn’t even be mad at this.

Chances of getting in FGCU?? HELP
 in  r/fgcu  14d ago

I second this, I had an 1140 and usually FGCU wants you in the 1100 range at least.

FGCU Sustainability Courses (Take instead of Colloquium)
 in  r/fgcu  15d ago

No I agree, I’m not only slandering FCGU, but I will say the advisors, and a lot of the stuff you’re supposed to know, aren’t easily accessible at FGCU because of their constant need to take more and more students. No one told me I needed to sign up a semester early for graduation, and when I tried to get an advising appointment with my advisor, she was full until after the deadline. That should not be the case, you know?

FGCU Sustainability Courses (Take instead of Colloquium)
 in  r/fgcu  15d ago

Really because my bright futures didn’t cover summer classes. Maybe I should get reimbursed then? I have the receipts. I have had the bright futures 100% medallion or whatever it’s called scholarship through getting my AICE diploma in highschool.

 in  r/fgcu  15d ago

I think the principle I’m trying to get across isn’t only about FGCU but all public colleges anywhere. Getting an education shouldn’t be monetized. But alas. It is. And FGCU is a “cheaper” school. What a joke.

FGCU Sustainability Courses (Take instead of Colloquium)
 in  r/fgcu  15d ago

Well, I had to take other summer courses (per FGCUs mandatory graduation requirements) so I didn’t take colloquium with that. Not to mention, the whole taking classes over the summer thing is ridiculous too. More classes that mind you, aren’t covered by things like bright futures.

FGCU Sustainability Courses (Take instead of Colloquium)
 in  r/fgcu  16d ago

I don’t enjoy the outdoors, but the argument of “I’m here to take my major oriented courses and get a degree in my major.” Then having to take a course like this, it felt elementary. My teacher for it was extremely unprofessional, the students in the course were all immature underclassmen. I’m an English major, and should only be forced to take classes that pertain to learning English, as that’s what I’m PAYING to go to school there for.

It was all around a very unenjoyable experience and though the knowledge in theory is good, I knew every bit of it from what I learned in environmental science courses in high school. It feels like a money grab, with the mask of “this is to teach our students about sustainability!!!” Because we all should know the course contents of colloquium before even taking it. If not, the educational system failed these students.

FGCU Sustainability Courses (Take instead of Colloquium)
 in  r/fgcu  16d ago

It is what it is, ultimately they’re a big school and nothing I could do would’ve changed anything. Just sucky is all. I’ll get over it, I’m just annoyed that I got the shit end of the stick lol. I’m just glad to be done, FGCU has a lot of flaws as an institution all together, my RENTAL graduation cap and gown is over $100 which literally baffles me. They’re a money hungry college just like the rest of them, adding mandatory courses like colloquium to make more money.

 in  r/fgcu  16d ago

No, I’m not referring to taking colloquium, I’m talking about when I found out they’re adding more courses right after I graduate. I was fully aware of having to take the course, but not that they would change the rules literally a semester after I graduate.

this pmo when I found out, I graduate in may and had to take colloquium and do 80 hours of service work while also working full time. The field trips were awful. NOW they give you more options?? Fgcu is a joke sometimes, I’m glad I’m done in a month.

I’d rather it be in the hands of a kid who enjoys it than a person just trying to resell for more than they spent! Kudos

Does each vivillon have its own coloring? I’ve never seen that before, kinda new here.

Is this a real Sphynx cat?
 in  r/sphynx  29d ago

Definitely not a sphynx, like others have said this is a very sick domestic shorthair with mange and probably other problems.

The temptation to open is too great… It surely has Rayquaza inside, right?
 in  r/PokemonTCG  29d ago

Just stumbled apon this thread 2 years later and I have the shiny secret rare rayquaza that I pulled when I was 8! Wasn’t a collector until recently when I realized I had quite the rare card on my hands. Sadly it’s not in mint condition :(
