No you’re good, I was just appreciating how outrageous it was

Great advice to someone who can barely have a cat

I’d like to, I guess I’m concerned about the logistics. I know you’re supposed to keep them separate for a while, which means one cat has to be stuck in a single room while I work out of town. And if they never fully warmed up, I’m afraid it would just be a ton of stress on the other cat if I had to send them back to the shelter.

I’ll probably save up some PTO before I try it, so I can be home and make neither of the cats are being neglected during the process.

In my case, it’s not exactly like an outline, it’s just… I can’t describe it because I can’t actually focus on it, it’s like a cross between a picture and a notion. But somehow, in the lineup, the outline seems like the most accurate level of detail.

Also color is absent for me, don’t know about for others.

I don’t think there’s a lot of research on it, but it’s a way to measure aphantasia, the inability to picture something in your mind. I’m a 4 and didn’t actually know anything higher existed until I started talking to other artists.

That’s a great idea, thank you! I just got her comfortable climbing onto her window bed yesterday :)

I’m so glad you got him back!!

I just meant I wouldn’t be able to supervise her. She’s an older cat and I can usually corral her, but that prey drive will have her climbing places I can’t dream of chasing her.

Nah, I should have mentioned I’m on a second story apartment now.

It’s funny, I was ALWAYS taught to say please growing up, but as an adult I only hear it in more formal settings, or from older folks. I think people realized that tone and body language also show that you’re trying to be pleasant and not bossy, and dropped the habit of saying it.

I’m sure it’s regional, though, and I’m only speaking for one small chunk of the US.

Counterpoint: human sinners’ sweat and tears make hell so humid that SpongeBob doesn’t feel a thing.

SpongeBob seems to have a good relationship with his dad, that probably gives him an edge

I know three people whose lung capacity seems to be permanently diminished from COVID, and one of them has chronic chest pain now. He was in his 20s when he caught it. I don’t know any other common virus that does that.

You quoted the part where they said most people, but you’re replying as if they said most parents.

Anyway, you’d hope people who don’t know all that would learn better after the kid comes out, but I know some people don’t. I can name two off the top of my head.

Keychain on my belt loop, plus mace.

Phone and wallet in back pockets, utility knife and earbuds in side pockets.

Other stuff I need frequently like bug spray, sunblock, power bank, extra sketchbook and selfie stick (not necessarily for selfies, I just like photography) are in a backpack in my passenger seat.

I’m always curious because I stopped carrying a purse as it made me feel more femme than I like, and since then I’ve wondered how dudes get through the day with only their pockets.

'93, younger end of millennial.

Not big on generation labels though, they feel like a failed experiment. People are born every day of every year and our experiences overlap in a gradient. They don’t separate into distinct portions.

The baby boom was an actual phenomenon, but every label afterwards feels arbitrary.

Short of a birth year in their username, I’m not sure there is one. Almost everything in this thread is something millennials inflict on me daily.

I have family in their 30s and 40s who do that 😭 I wonder if people subconsciously trust TikTokers more than other social media users since they usually show their faces.
