Based on research the answer is no.

But I have tried to feed my T every week, or evey 2 weeks, and she just doesn't take the food. She sits there and stares at it and doesn't care.

And then the bug tries to get away and I have to hurry and grab it, or it gets lost and now I have to tear apart the enclosure to get it out... its not worth it to try.

So the past few months I've fed her once a month and she actually takes it every time. But I feel like no way one single bug a month is enough long term??

Is this gonna lead to malnutrition? If so what can I do to get her to eat more often?

I surround myself with things that will kill me,

destroy my body and wear on my soul.

For in all that I'm convinced I can find,

parts and pieces that add up to a whole.

I surround myself with things that are "filthy";

insisting to drown in blood and distain.

I've only hurt me, yet you all call me guilty,

I want to run from my life and

hide from my name.

Sometimes I wish the world was perfect,

sometimes I try to convince myself,

as if I'd bother with a world which

shows you no pain and has nothing withheld.

I know behind the scenes my soul is laughing,

high on my pain and smoking with God.

She chains me here and watches the show,

asking, "how much will I bleed?" and

"What are the odds?"

Surely the universe laughs at our game,

like a movie you play while hopelessly bored,

I know that their currancy is all pain,

yet still I jumped right in,

on my own accord.

Regret must evade that in me which chose,

which smiles at the empty struggle,

muscles all cramping and a bloody nose,

still she'd laugh in my face

then clean up the rubble.

Here I find myself trapped in that wreckage,

searching as if there is something to find,

turn it all over and then double-check it,

convince yourself it's not purely your mind.

"The world is a prison!" I said to myself,

young, in illusion, and just unaware,

the truth about me is I know what I've done,

and I surround myself with things that

I cannot repair.

((The internet convinced me all poetry is "cringe" but I really like this one. Do you understand what I mean to say?))

My roommate's cat somehow got fleas and now theyre infesting the whole house. Or at least thats what I assume happened. It doesnt make much sense because its an indoor cat who was up to date on flea prevention... but

I am 90% what we're finding are fleas because theyre always either in the carpet or around the areas the cat hangs out, theyre definitely able to bite (but nothing serious just small red bumps), they jump, and they look like fleas. Springtails are the other possible suspect but the biting makes me think its fleas. And if it was other mites I'd expect to find them in clothes/bedding but I rarely/never do. They pretty much just live in our carpets.

We've vacuumed the whole house and treated the cat itself, washed and dried all fabric around the house with hot water and long dry cycles. But I am still finding them everywhere.

We both have bites all around our ankles and you cant lay/sit on the carpet without them crawling on you. There seems to be a lot of them.

We cannot afford an actual exterminator or any professional pest control services.... what can I do?? For fleas specifically or something that would help with small pests in general?

(I hope this is an alright thing to post on this sub. Other subs have audiences that I think might give me hate for asking this though, and yall might have advice)

I know I'm probably technically "wrong" for this, and I'm asking for a way to get away with a lie. But reality is me and my current roommate just dont want to be homeless and we are out of options.

I lost the ability to live with my parents suddenly at a young age and had to find somewhere to stay. I was able to find a friend willing to live with me and we started apartment searching.

But, in my area, rent is extremely high and everywhere requires you to make 3x rent per month which realistically is impossible for me and my roommate to meet.

Even though with what we are making now, we have always been able to pay rent on time and are able to actually afford living here, technically we don't "qualify" and the numbers say "we can't afford it."

So, we found another friend to get on the lease with us who wasnt going to be living with us. They moved out of state soon after signing the lease but just agreed to put their income down and sign their name so we could qualify and get in, since they'd be living with their parents the next few years anyway and made enough to put us over the minimum, and it would basically give them renters history for free.

We originally planned to either find a way to qualify on our own, or find somewhere else to live, by the end of the lease. But as that date gets closer we realize it isnt a possibility...

Qualifying anywhere outright seems improbable and my local economy is suffocating.

I still have permission from the other friend to sign them on the next lease if I can. But they are no longer making the same income and theyre out of state. So if they checked the income again, it wouldnt qualify and would be too low. And they cannot physically be present for a lease renewal.

I've never rented before so idk what the process is for re-signing leases. Do they check your income again? Does everyone have to physically be there? Or realistically could I fake a signature on a piece of paper and itll go through fine? If my friend agrees electronically will they accept it and not check everything again? We weren't physically in an office for the first signing, but we also all actually made enough and now we dont.

How much do apartments re-vet you when you renew? Will we realistically be able to plan on getting another year here?

TIA any advice very appreciated

When people get arrested they often sit in jail for some time before an actual court hearing. At this hearing they may be found to not be guilty of whatever the charge was.

If this happens, do you get credited for that time you served unjustly? You didnt do anything and the state kept you in jail against your will. It seems like you should absolutely be entitled to compensation, no?

What if you get fired from your job because you miss a week while being there? Does the government have to help you pay your bills till you find a new one? Does it automatically make you eligible for unemployment? What's the process for this?

Tried to look on Google but I'm having a hard time getting real answers, everything is just about if youre *incorrectly* found to be guilty then later everything is dropped.

Would you make an effort to reduce other costs of living/make more income to afford one of these? Would you be able to afford one now and see it as worth it? Or are you not taking it?

I understand in something like straight up vodka theres just the alcohol itself there so you dont need ingredients... but pre-mixed drinks, flavored alcohols, etc. clearly have ingredients besides whatever type of alcohol but 90% of the time dont list them.

Literally any other consumable requires ingredients. What's the difference? You could still hypothetically be allergic to something in it, or trying to avoid that ingredient for another reason.

Starting now, every time you lie, that thing becomes reality.

You will not be aware of your ability, and will be magically prevented from figuring it out. So you cannot "lie" on purpose just to make amazing things happen.

You'll speak normally and go about your life normally. You'll only lie when you usually would have. But once a lie comes out, its not a lie anymore.

Is this changing your life for the better or the worse?
