scannerj got a reaction from jagocianka in Happy Poogle DayYES! The greenery growing on them is totally the key to a nice relic pet. The Relic Peophin is my favourite because it has just enough greenery that it doesn't get overwhelming (unlike the Relic Jetsam, someone get on a gardener on that pet stat!) Otherwise, without any greenery to make them look like abandoned statues, the pets just look... grey.

scannerj got a reaction from Monin in Pets Birthday CupcakeI love the birthday cupcakes, they're such a cute addition to the site. Just a quick warning though: you can only collect 1 cupcake per day, so if you have two pets with the same birthday, only one of them will give you a cupcake. (But the cupcake can be fed to any of your pets, regardless of which one's birthday it came from.)

scannerj got a reaction from aminoshiki in Strangely delicious foodsYES!!!! A friend showed me this a few years ago (I think it was a McFlurry and some particularly crispy/salty McDonalds fries), and it was instantly delicious.
It never tastes the same when I do it at home though, it definitely has to be fast food milkshakes and fries.

scannerj got a reaction from midnight_spell360 in Do you ever check up on pets that you transfer/pound?I keep a Notepad document with names of all the pets I pounded (usually random pets I adopted and then Labbed into something interesting) and I check up on them every few months to make sure they're adopted. It's always nice to see that they've found good homes. :)

scannerj reacted to jellysundae in The Big Bathroom IssueIsn't a lot of the problem simply that a whole lot of people just don't understand what transgender IS? They don't/can't/won't accept that as a thing it can exist. It confuses people, and that leads to fear, and when people are frightened they react with anger...tie that in with a lot of people that use religion as a way to judge others and it's saddening, but not at all surprising, that these kind of problems arise.
Hopefully there's only 2 generations alive now who are likely to have a significant proportion of people who are bigoted towards trans people - the current grandparents and great-grandparents. Though I know there'll be a lot more people than I'd like in my own age group (40s) who are also ignorant/intolerant. But surely your average Millennial is more enlightened?
And today's teens and kids...move down each generation and there's going to be less and less people who have any kind of issue with trans people, because they'll have grown up in a society that's more knowledgeable on the subject and thus more accepting. It's only a matter of time (I hope!).
Gotta say, I'm so used to separate public bathrooms that I'd not like having use one that guys use too, but that's really solely because guy's toilets SMELL! >_<

scannerj reacted to MysteryAF in The Big Bathroom IssueAs a transgender, it should be pretty obvious where I feel on this issue. Secondly, I don't even understand why this is an issue in the first place. You should be tolerant of all people's choice of identification. I would feel extremely uncomfortable if I was forced to use the men's bathroom.
I think the bigger issue to me is all of those people out there who aren't accepting of transgender people, including most of my family. It breaks my heart that I should be discriminated against just because I feel I was born the wrong biological gender.

scannerj reacted to rombosulonte in The Big Bathroom Issue(I'm a cis woman, if that matters) I don't know, I'm against segregated bathrooms because I don't see the point with themt.
And I don't see the point with that either. Why do we have separated lockers? Because boys will lust for girls and girls for boys? What about homosexual and bisexual people? Where do they go?
Because we don't want boys and girls to find out that they are different from each other? They already know.
What I do know is that trans* people have a really hard time when it comes to bathrooms. If you are a trans* man and go into the girls locker, you get yelled at. If you go to the boys locker, you get beaten up. So where are you supposed to go?
I think the problem is not the fact that we have different bodies, is that we've sexualized them to the point of equating nudity with sex.
The way I see it, this bill is right not because of the genitals involved, but because trans* people can behave like their gender: If you identify as a boy, you don't have to use the girls bathroom.

scannerj got a reaction from midnight_spell360 in Concerts?WHOA, you're right! I had no hope that TNT would ever get around to fixing something as 'minor' as the Concert Hall bands, but lo and behold, I was able to watch Chomby and the Fungus Balls today! Very cool, well done TNT.

scannerj got a reaction from zulia in What do you think happens when you die?I never thought I'd see something like this discussed on a Neopets forum!
But yeah, when you die, you die. There's no afterlife/reincarnation/anything like that -- nice to think about, but just not believable. When you're dead, it's just like it was before you were born -- you're not alive, you're not conscious, the universe just continues on without you. Sort of scary, sort of comforting, when you put it like that.
And now I'm gonna go play Meerca Chase before the existential dread sets in!

scannerj got a reaction from jellysundae in Yay for lab rats!Awww, this is a great post! :) I'm glad Braiket found a good forever home!
I'm about to start labbing a new Pound find, so this gives me hope that it'll find a good home when I'm done.
