Contextual Idiot

I’m going to start by saying you need to have a frank discussion with your fiance about who’s responsible for the cat. I’m taking a bit of a leap here, but it sounds like this isn’t the only problem with communication between you two. Also, and I think you know this, but taking the cat to a shelter will put a wedge between you and your fiance if she isn’t fully on board with the idea.

As for the cat, well, she’s a kitten. It’s what they do. But it won’t be forever, she will start to calm down in about another 6 months to a year. The constant need to play will start to disappear and probably turn into the need for lap time. She’s a lot of work now, but when she’s fully grown she’ll be a lot more independent and easier to handle. You might even find she’ll become a great companion once the kitten energy wears off.

As she grows and learns how to cat, her instincts are telling her what to do when she encounters prey. And the only way for her to get good is to “practice,” unfortunately on you. When she starts, grab one of her toys and dangle it in front of her. If she starts going for it, toss it for her to chase.

A toy I suggest you get for her is a Kong Kickeroo. She’ll be able to wrap herself around it (like I assume she tries to do with your hands, arms, legs and feet) and really go to town on it. It’s good for her and good for you, since she can burn off her energy without causing you pain. To add to her enjoyment, you can grab the tail of the toy and give it gentle tugs while she’s wrapped around it to mimic the toy “struggling” to get free.

I hope some of this will help!

I hate how Via Rail is trying to call it “an inconvenience.”

A train being 15 minutes late is an inconvenience. A train running out of the sandwich you like is an inconvenience. This was a complete lack of emergency planning and care for the passengers. The fact that a diabetic person has to be rescued off the train is appalling.

There needs to be regulations brought in to stop any transportation business from being able to literally trap people like this all because they don’t want to pay to make it right.

The business will always only do what’s best for them. They’re becoming less and less afraid of bad PR. So we need to make them care again with regulations, fines, and even criminal charges when it reaches that threshold.

Who wants to bet Sony will shoehorn in a PSN requirement just to play a single player game?

Oh wait, it says so right on the requirements image in the lower right corner. Colour me shocked.

So the gunner is the first to get cancelled? Huh. Figured it would be the driller.

What’s going on in your screenshot? Where’s the gunner? Or is this a joke I’m not aware of?

The UCP folks. The party of big government in control of everything. From municipalities to whether or not you can defend yourself in court or from the police. Gonna be fun for the folks sitting in an interrogation room praying a lawyer will show up while they’re being antagonized by the cops. They can’t force you to answer, but they sure as shit can make your life hell while in their custody.

I’m enjoying it so far. The new mobs are fun and mix well with the others. The new cave type for the morkite seed missions is confusing though, I keep getting lost in them. Hopefully they’ll start making sense soon.

I know this is likely highly illegal, but I wonder if these abandoned crews could seize these ships and sell them, even if only for scrap.

There’s likely some unscrupulous folks out there willing to buy them.

Now I want to see a glyphid grabbing a cape and dragging off a dwarf.

I think there is, when you or a business is purchasing a complete product from another country. But if you are a Canadian company, there are no tariffs if you’re manufacturing a product in another country and then selling it in Canada.

I think.

Tariffs are too complicated, and I won’t be surprised if something I said is wrong.

This is a beautiful song.

I think it’s the description that’s confusing. These hackers are getting in and writing their own prescriptions from the way it sounds. They then fill these prescriptions at regular pharmacies, or sell the prescriptions for a buyer to then get filled.

Can’t read the whole article though without signing up, so maybe it’s something different.

Get 2 smaller stones. Put them down in front of the boulder. As you push the boulder up, kick the stones along with it, so that the stones would hold the boulder in place for you. Get to the top, and get hit by lightning from angry gods for your impudence.

I sure did. 🤯😱😒😤 I guess I’m now the terrible warning to future viewers.

God fucking dammit. I put ear buds in for this fucking video.

Could be Momma doesn’t feel as safe in the box as under the bed. I’d suggest cleaning as best you can under the bed without the vacuum, and placing the blankets there.

Another box as suggested could work too, but may be unnecessary if she’s already decided that under the bed is safe.

I know you want to watch the little ones, but at this stage it’s best to leave Momma to it until the kittens are old enough to start exploring on their own. She may even bring them to you to babysit while she gets some alone time for herself.

It sounds like she’s an introvert, and you’re an extrovert.

For you, chatting is effortless and energizing. For her, it requires effort and can be draining.

Meanwhile, you find mental exercises like deep thought or creating require effort and can be draining. For her, these are effortless and energizing.

You need to talk with her about her and your needs, and you must recognize the differences between you and find a middle ground where you can each be happy. That could mean you go out with friends to get your chatting needs and give her the space to recharge, and you and her find topics that interest her to talk about.

One last bit of advice: don’t treat this like it’s a you versus her problem. Treat it like it’s you and her versus the problem. The collaborative approach will yield better solutions and results.

The idiot who made this didn’t realize that their prompts were public, and got called out. The prompts were basically what you see in the pictures, not what they wrote.

Could you post the current rules for us to review?

I’m leery of visiting the instance due to the possible content there.

You know, it’s exchanges like this that make me love Lemmy. This wouldn’t happen on Reddit, unless you’re in some tiny niche subreddit. Kudos to the both of you, a good apology and a good acceptance of it.

Please Lemmy, I want some more actual human interactions.
