  • Yeah it’s basically the enshitification model

  • The success of capitalism. A hostile felon is looting our coffers to the tune of billions and we are giving a fucking teacher the side eye for getting a pittance.

  • Fully, yeah. We live in quite an urban area, but some of my cats do like to go out in the backyard with me to act like they are hunting birds and butterflies, but that’s generally minutes at a time and fairly rare. I did recently install a catio in the small space between my house and my neighbors and she (and almost all of our cats really) loves that.

  • She can move her hind legs a bit, and even walk a very little bit if she can get her back feet under her, but once she wants to move at any kind of speed she is fully just dragging herself by her front legs.

    So her front legs are incredibly, like ridiculously strong, and her hind legs are quite atrophied, and we have to do manual stretches with her.

    She can move very quickly and she can climb almost anywhere she wants to get to, and where she doesn’t, she’s got her screeches.

    Cats are amazing the way they adapt. I love watching her figure things out.

  • I’d suggest you improve your knowledge of the female anatomy. I’m not an expert but I’m pretty certain that is not how vaginas work.

  • Okay, I have to chime in here, if only because I not only do this, but somehow distinguish 9 different sets of various meows.

    I don’t have a favorite cat, but Honey Pie…well let’s just say I’m her favorite. She and I bonded a lot when she was a kitten because her back legs are incredibly weak, so it took her a while to figure out how to use the litter box without making a mess of litter on her legs.

    So she spent a lot of her kittenhood gazing up at me adoringly while I cleaned poopy litter out of her fur.

    Anyway, for whatever reason instead of a normal meow, she has something verging much more on a screech, and since she needs help getting certain places (you’d be amazed how few she can’t manage though) she has a lot of different screeches that she uses to tell me what she needs.

    Sometimes she wants to go in the window, sometimes up on her favorite dresser, sometimes she just urgently wants to sit in my lap and wants me to pick her up even though she could make it with her front paws - as literally happened as I started writing this.

    Anyway, my point is, I’m not sure there is a sound that instantly melts my heart like her insane screeching does. I love it and I can hear it from the other room, through music, whatever. It isn’t uncommon for me to randomly get up and dart into the room mid conversation but my wife understands.

    She’s amazing and I could talk about her forever but I will just pay the cat tax:

  • But then the cat isn’t on your lap anymore. Have you considered that?

    Best to just stay there.

  • I’ve got two of those survival food buckets from Costco, so that’s about how long I will last after the apocalypse, before I start selling myself to stronger people who will protect me.

  • You are the one who brought up “perfect”. That’s not even the claim in the OP, so I’m not clear what point you even think you are making.

  • What is your favourite album of all time?

    Jump

  • What a delightfully impossible question.

    I hate it when someone names a totally obscure album that no one’s ever heard of just to be cool, but I looked through my whole collection and no other single album felt right as my Favorite Album Of All Time, which I have to underscore is different than what I think is the best album of all time.

    So anyway, my personal favorite album of all time which I can listen to any time and which transports me to a different place and time in my life:

    Model Engine - The Lean Years Tradition

    I’ve been saying that for 15 years or so and it remains true, but I don’t expect folks will listen to it and be blown away. That said, it’s an amazing album that came along at just the right time to get baked into my personality forever.

    My favorite album that’s more well known, and which I would argue is genre defining: Sunny Day Real Estate - The Pink Album

    My favorite album of the last 5 years is Rosalia - Motomami

    Music is so fucking great isn’t it? I think it is one of the better things to come out of humanity.

  • Clarity is incredible. Jimmy Eat World was at their absolute creative peak right before they made it big with their next album.

    In 1999 or thereabouts my girlfriend left me for another guy at a music festival. I will never forget grabbing my discman and headphones and heading out to be alone and feel sorry for myself.

    I sat in a muddy cow pasture listening to Clarity for hours that night. That’s what emo is to me.

  • I agree. It has a small town feel for now. It’s bound not to last forever, but it does create a cohort of those of us who were here for the small town days.

  • Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman loses New York primary to former City Comptroller Brad Lander

  • I didn’t ask how you would prefer he be, I would prefer that too. I would not say he sucks though, at least compared to the status quo. But for you he sucks enough to make it the point of your (in my opinion) unhelpful and nuancephobic comment, in the context of celebrating progressive gains.

    He’s taken heat for pursuing radical solutions to homelessness, he criticized aid to Israel before it was cool, and he got arrested for trying to hold ICE accountable.

    So I’m asking who you would have supported instead. That’s all.
