I had attempted to approach the subject innocently.  I was asked to determine the sex of a kitten, and I said the kitten was male.  My niece said, "what if he wanted to be a girl?"

I said, "she can be a girl with boy parts, just as a girl can be a boy with girl parts; we'll love her no matter what!"

My sis-in-law was swiping at her throat and pretty much telling me to hush up.  So, yeah, that's something that they're not comfortable with, and thus I can't really talk about, regardless if my niece wants to know.

I think i've hit an impasse.

I'm not ready to venture out into the world, i've been left woefully unprepared to do so. On top of that I have little in the way of ability to get help with anything, as from my experience getting help literally means either just being pointed somewhere or in the case of my family (Despite them being oh-so-willing to help) they complain when I do so. Top that off with social anxiety and a general reluctance to interact with the world and you've got a whole pile of nastiness.

At the same time, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be welcome here in a few days since mom's still acting like a [tornado fang]ing child over the dinner argument from last night and she's apparently the end-all-be-all lawmaker in the house, by which I mean she is a complete [tornado fang]ing hypocrite who changes her word whenever she goddamn feels like it.

Not asking for help, just venting.

And I know I probably sound like a petty whiny [dark hold] right now. I don't care.

What else did you expect from an electric spider?

And anytime she talks about Elements.

I couldn't last 3 mins into this video, the sheer amount of ham was too much for my mind to comprehend.

I think what bothers me most is how it eats its prey leisurely.

Like it pops in a movie and just snacks.  Just leisurely snacks away... breaks off a toe and eats it... while the victim remains alive.

I'd rather my giant electric spider stab its victim with its fangs, inject venom and digestive enzymes, and suck the guts out like a soup.

But don't some spiders eat like Galvantula does with without electricity anyway?

At least she gets the job done, unlike that pussy Professor X. 8D

It's not the electricity portion.  That's not the problem.  It's not stringing up the prey and saving them for later that's the problem.  That's all fine and dandy and I've watched spiders eat their prey before.  I used to have a tarantula as a pet.

The part of the Dex entry that bugs me is the wording and usage of "leisurely."

When we eat something leisurely, we snack.  We sit back, relax, and mindlessly eat chips.  We eat pretzels.  We eat cereal from the box by the handful.  We're not even paying attention to what we're eating.  If you're watching a movie and eating popcorn, you're generally not looking at the popcorn and eating it like dinner.  Your eyes are on the movie and you're popping popcorn in your mouth without a second thought.  That's eating in a leisurely fashion.

Galvantula is not the only one to eat stuff in a leisurely fashion.  Glalie does it, too.  The fact that their victims are generally still alive and stunned, though quite possibly still conscious as they're devoured like so many potato chips while marathoning Archer... That's the part that bugs me.

From what I've observed, spiders that spin webs will save prey for later.  They'll wrap it up and eat it later.  They'll also eat their own webs.  When they eat, however, they hold their prey, sink their fangs into it, and eat it.

I mean, I guess saving prey for later would be considered eating it in a leisurely fashion, as the prey would be eaten at the predator's leisure.  But my overactive imagination is taking the term seriously and I'm picturing Glalie biting off fingers and toes to snack on and Galvantula chewing on a head while they both watch MLP.

Yeah that's what I meant because when I think a spider eating leisurely I think of it savjng it's prey for later and eating it slowly while it's not in danger of being eaten itself.

......Is anyone else weirded out by the role reversal of Quickie freaking out about something spider related and I'm not for once?

Now one thing I do want to know...

Would a Joltik fling urticating hairs from its abdomen?  I can totally see it doing that.

It can learn Pin Missle through breeding, does that count?

Yes.

Urticating hairs can feel like little irritating Pin Missiles.  Particularly if the hairs are aimed for the eyes.

I do like how Galvantula has pedipalps.  I must get mine into Amie and see what it likes.  I must touch the pedipalps.

As a change of topic, my god this trailer for Kirby Triple Deluxe was surprisingly amazing, especially considering how much cheese a normal Kirby Comercial had.

I would prefer the cold right now. I am grateful my house isn't burning, though.

I guess all I can really say is it isn't exactly what I'd expect out of a $4.4M game

It doesn't even have mouth animations

I just don't like any extreme, unfortunately living in a desert means I deal with both even though we don't have snow.

One of these days I should evolve one of my Munna simply for Dex info.  I really don't want to, because Musharna is ugly as sin.
