True, but I kept two and got another 6 adopted out (two litters, I have one cat from each, and there were some losses, as these were barn cats)

And all of them turned out happy and friendly expect the ones I kept : /

As did several half siblings (there’s like 3 baby daddies in the group and 4 mamas, so the kittens were consistent across about a dozen litters - melanistic tabbies (voids with stripes) gray tabbies (gray with stripes) and regular tabbies)

Since nobody else seems inclined to share the deep darks of their life, I will.

Due to a childhood of neglect, I tend to ruin baby animals left in my care. Not because I want to, but because I’m not nurturing at all. Not even a slight tiny bit. I keep them alive and unharmed just fine, that I can do. But that’s about all I’ve got.

I’ve had a few cats that I’ve acquired as kittens and by the time they hit adulthood they hate everything. The first time I didn’t realize it was me, and I had a cranky bitch who hated everyone and everything but me… for 16 years… after the last time I know it must be me. Because cats from the same litter went to my partner and theirs are super nice and friendly, and mine… one gets so upset seeing other strange cats that she misplaces her aggression and goes after her sister until her sister pees herself running away. It fucking sucks, and I wish I was better for them.

The dog I got as a puppy was poorly socialized, as well, but I wasn’t able to keep her past the first year (pitbull in an apartment, but she was just friendly as hell, not mean or aggressive)

My quail were about ready to see me as mama, same with the chickens, even nestling in my hands to fall asleep, and now they don’t like me… (that one is probably a reach-down problem, they like me a lot better when I reach in at them instead of down from above, but still)

So except where necessary, like farm animals, I avoid getting babies. I’m sterile for this reason as well. I don’t want to pass on my fucked up neglected childhood, even to animals.

Totally completely unrelated to anything you said. Just a hookup between arborists and people who need an entire dump truck load of free wood chips unceremoniously unloaded in their driveway at a random future time.

So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?

You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.

I’ve tried really hard, and sampled many brands, but other than soy in lattes sometimes, I can’t stand plant based milk in my coffee. Some of it is fine stuff for other uses, or even just drinking, but it just doesn’t come close to the flavor I like as part of my wake up routine. And if my coffee isn’t good it sours my whole day, just a bit.

I’d love to have something that tastes like milk and feels like milk and does the job of milk, but is vegan.

I’m so much more into the visible hand puppetry. I find that fascinating.

The song is good, but the video style choices are very interesting :)

Thanks!

Could someone with better search skills or knowledge of their discography link to their music for me? I’ve heard it’s good but I legitimately can’t find anything but news videos when I go looking (I don’t use any music handler platforms)

Welp.

I watched several videos in addition to those and feel both better and not, I do understand the simplified analogies in the linked stuff, and they are helpful, as were some of the related content.

I kinda sorta understand the technical stuff, sort of. I’m not in a tech field or anything…

I’m going to keep it there regardless of the negative hype because you never know when I’ll need others to do the same. Im not doing anything wrong so it’s whatever.

I’m up to 10 :)

Transmission fluid is the real “I have no idea what that means” thumbs up.

Because it should hopefully always be clear but it depends where…… and how warm…. And how clean the dipstick was….

(I recently had transmission issues and omfg there isn’t even a light on my car for low transmission fluid wtf??)

Idk why I was expecting anything other than what that comm was, but I’m pleased to have been wrong.

Also outside looking in:

From what I’ve heard the royals bring in a lot of tourism money… or used to anyway… idk about this -ahem- new fella…

I hate pickles and pickle juice. Always have, always will.

That said, whenever I have bad heartburn, I take a shot of straight pickle juice (the vinegar kind), and it goes away.

This came up as a plot point in some other animated show, and for the life of me I can’t figure out what it was…

Like the realization that they were hurting so many people so they could survive and save the world or whatever it was… and it just killed them inside…

(And I’m fairly certain I’m not thinking of Rick and Morty, although that does sort of happen as well… and I don’t think it was bojack horseman either…)

Thanks for this!

Well I spent the time between when I posted and when you replied looking into various things related to tor, legality, and snowflake more specifically, as well as a bit after your reply since you gave me a couple extra things to look into… (like if there’s a risk of running alongside self-host software like Plex and jellyfin, I didn’t find anything about it so I sort of assume it’s fine…?)…

I didn’t see anything overly bad other than if you yourself use tor, maybe, so took the plunge and… have had a whole two connections already, so yay, I’m a snowflake!

I feel slightly better about myself, like when I started using BOINC crowdsource computing for research in the early noughties. :)

Oh idk about that… parents are willing to pay an awful lot in treatment in hopes of keeping their kid alive…

I think they need both, short and long term profits, you know?

I’m willing to do this but frankly tor intimidates me big time. I don’t know anything about it other than……. Yep that’s it.

I read through the mastodon post, and the project page, and cumulatively I didn’t get any answers that, like, make me feel better.

I assume this is a dark web node sort of thing? Is it safe for me to run the browser extension (idk shit about docker and don’t really want to learn rn), like I’m not putting a target on myself or anything? If yes to question 1, but no to question 2, what does put a target?

Cool good to know. I don’t have a system for some of them at the moment, so I can’t very well boot them all up to…. fix them?

Regardless, appreciate the info!

If they do, I doubt it has anything to do with the rom data, because my cartridges still seem to work. No way those batteries are still charged at this point.

I’m just not sure if they have the same re-write weakness. I assume they don’t, as we’d likely have heard more about it by now, but idk enough about how that stuff works/worked
