To be fair, moving to the top allows for much more space for the list of predictions, so there’s at least some benefit to ir

Didn’t he cheat on his wife and get caught as well?
I like to picture just a constant purring sound
Damn, you gave me hope but it didn’t work :( I’ll have to do some searching for a solution. Up until now I’ve just accepted it as an annoyance
I noticed this and the fact that Ctrl + Shift + L
no longer autofills. That was my favorite feature but for some reason it has stopped working
I appreciate you being aware of the impact at least, it’s all I can really ask. I hope you can find some way to limit the cat’s impact on the environment, like perhaps a bell on their collar
And I’m glad you put food out for the birds. I do the same and I find such joy in watching them, they’re truly beautiful :)
Okay, so your arguments are:
(1) Is, hopefully, very obviously subjective. Just because you haven’t seen a news article about it does not mean it’s a problem. And unfortunately, being a couple thousand years old does not come close to the massive amount of time it took the ecosystems to get this way. By Earth’s history standards, these cats have been there for a blink of an eye.
(2) Is never a good excuse to do anything. It’s group think and it’s a massive problem in society. I may as well justify owning slaves because “other people aren’t going to stop”. You surely see how nothing will change if everyone thinks that way.
I’m very glad to gear you neuter the cat at least. It’s at least helping combat the issue a bit.
I just want to make the world a better place, that’s all. I’m not trying to attack or shame you, I just want to save the birds (and cats) :(
If they’re meant to be outdoors then don’t feed and shelter them. That’s giving them an unfair competitive advantage against both their prey and other predators. Every rodent a house cat kills is a rodent that another predator doesn’t get. It leads to overpopulation and the eradication of their natural prey. In nature, if a predator’s prey is over-hunted without human intervention, then predators die off and the populations correct themselves (predators die off or move until the equilibrium is reached again). This cannot happen if you feed the animals when food becomes scarce and heal them (veterinarian) when they are injured. You are interceding in natural processes.
If it’s animal abuse then it’s very simple: don’t get the animal. No one is forcing you to get a cat (or Husky). If you can’t care for an animal responsibly then don’t get one at all. If you find one in the wild don’t interact with it, and let it be wild - don’t further damage the environment (more than we already have) so you can pet a cat once in a while.
I realize you aren’t going to change your mind, you seem pretty dug in. So I implore you to at least ensure the animal is spayed or neutered, and to consider not getting a new cat once the current one has passed on. Please, it’s just better for everyone involved.
Okay, if not for your own cat’s safety then do it for the good of the environment.
House cats are non-native species who are subsidized by humans feeding them. Thus they can kill purely for pleasure and often do. Every year, house cats kill billions of birds (and rodents) and it’s an ecological nightmare that is putting massive pressure on wildlife.
Please, just don’t do it. It’s unnecessary. You can create a stimulating environment inside and if you cannot then you shouldn’t get a cat.
Boy this is… Something else
The US has a lot of bullshit in their labeling requirements. My wife studied food science in university and some of her biggest complaints are:
The most egregious example I’ve seen lately was a jar of pickles I bought where the serving size is 1/3 of a pickle (now the website says 1/2). That’s just so that the sodium doesn’t get out of control and, in all likelihood, because an entire pickle may be more than the 5 Calories allowed to say it’s “0 Calories”.
*This is changing, slowly. Manufacturers now have to put servings for the entire container if it’s small enough
Kind of torn my niece is starting to like video games.
On the one hand, they’re amazing and I still play them all the time. They’re integral to my life and are a medium above others in quality, accessibility, and affordability.
On the other hand, they’re a double-edged sword. It’s hard to be healthy while playing video games without good discipline. And I think back to times I chose video games over homework and I regret it. I don’t necessarily want her to follow an unhealthy hobby, even if I love it
Yes exactly this. It burns my heart strings when they do it too
Not entirely. Privacy Badger will also block embedded social media posts, replacing them with opt-in viewing.
My guess is that it has something to do with the image where you can clearly see a tag? But I can’t read what it says
I think you’d have better luck with the “corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures” one instead
This feels like the OP thinks that the journalist is mocking poor people, but if you read the article it’s just statistics about how breakfast foods were particularly impacted by inflation in 2023. The title is more tongue in cheek, more '“god damn are these high prices or what”
Good lord they look exceptionally soft. It’s impossible to resist disturbing them
