@kelpforestdweller – Thanks! I was still too torn up to respond earlier, but I do appreciate it.

On most levels, I do know that. But it can still get hard sometimes. Especially when other people are affected, whether you can really help it or not

@prisonerofjazzkaban – That would be great. But, it’s from an IV checker app, Calcy IV. I recently switched over to that one from Go IV because the stats display format is really handy.

Both of those are in the Play Store, and I’m pretty sure Calcy IV is also available for iPhones.

@katisconfused – Have to say I’m tempted with this one, too. And not bother to throw more candy at it to power it up any. Should be good for amusement value, at least.

I was so mad that (of course) I had gone ahead and evolved another Gyarados not long before the research goals came out 😩 Left with

Luckily I did find an at least semi-accessible Magikarp nest. Tired of farming yesterday, but there was the shiny this evening. Almost worth the aggravation. Almost 🙄

@lysikan – Exactly.

And that was just one of the layers of “that’s not how anything works” involved. They managed to pile on more.

@kelpforestdweller – Thanks!

I was mostly thinking of experiences with freezing vegetable soups. This is still not low moisture, but hopefully enough less that it won’t mess with the texture as much. I can usually eat it anyway, but sensory issues 🙄

@isabelknight @gaytog @caitatonic – Thanks everyone! I do appreciate the support.

Don’t know how good a job I end up doing, but I try. Wouldn’t do something like that on purpose at all, but fucking up and accidentally hurting someone is never easy to live with either. Though it is going to happen sometimes, the best you can do.

@ajax-daughter-of-telamon – Exactly. It’s really disturbing.

@kingofherrings – That was one of my first thoughts there, too.

I actually didn’t have the spoons to look too closely for how they were handling that, with every disabled actor also falling under one of the ethnicity categories. Hopefully “disabled” doesn’t turn into your ethnic background for those purposes? 🤔

But, that made the whole setup seem extra weird.

@katisconfused – That’s one idea. Almost wanted to throw some directly at them earlier 💩 Probably just more screaming from the startle.

An extra laugh, because I’m already a tad concerned about the people upstairs maybe calling the council on us over the couple of trash bags out back that I haven’t been able to clean up and Mr. C hasn’t had the chance yet😅 Where foxes have ripped into them, of course.

@ajax-daughter-of-telamon – Feist will, at least. It surprised me too when it first started happening. I was also more worried at first, and tried to keep her in away from them after dark. (Which wasn’t too successful. Determined cats.)

But, having this round little cat charging at them like a demon seems to surprise them even more 🙄 Still surprised I haven’t seen any evidence of them even touching her in 10+ years now. You’d think some of them would try to fight. No signs of it if they have.

Still not so happy about it. But most of them aren’t that much bigger than she is (around 12-15 lbs full grown), and these foxes are definitely used to living around cats. Even if I don’t get the idea most of them are so used to the cats running at them like Feist 😹 But, they’re thankfully not nearly as big or aggressive as coyotes, and not nearly as likely to go after cats.

Still kinda hoping she won’t start it up again once it warms up enough for her to want to spend time outside again, though. I still keep worrying that she’ll finally mess with the wrong one.
