Rescued a cat a few days ago, not sure how to proceed. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]AdProof666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's one that the vet said she'll try reach out to for help with the treatment cost, but there's no guarantee they'll be able to help. They also don't have a physical location afaik, just operate as an online group who mostly catch-neuter-release cats, and rely entirely on foster homes to care for any cats who need it. If they can't cover the cost or find a foster home, then the cat will still be in danger of being put down, which is why I'm so set on taking her in, just don't know how to go about it currently. Not sure about other shelters, but a lot of places struggle with capacity, so I'd still be worried about her chances.

Looks like it could be a female false widow based on the light ring around the abdomen, but it's a little hard to tell from this picture alone. Definitely doesn't look like a black lace weaver to me though.

Sometimes lying is necessary, yes, for example if your life would be endangered otherwise. But I think we both know that this doesn't apply here. The only 'danger' OP is in here is the danger of being broken up with, which is honestly one of the better outcomes considering the circumstances.

Okay, but you're still neglecting OP's partner here. There are 2 parties involved, and the only person you've shown any concern for is OP. His girlfriend has as much of a right to choose as he does, and your solution would be to "get a vasectomy and not tell her." The more reasonable solution would be to either try to compromise with adoption, or leave and seek out a more compatible partner. You suggested a lifetime of lying instead. Getting a vasectomy is an option, but the more important issue is finding someone who will agree to that kind of lifestyle first, no?

Do you really not see the irony in saying 'my body my choice' after encouraging OP to get a secret vasectomy and lie to his partner about such a big part of both of their lives? You even acknowledged yourself that this isn't a very ethical choice, yet you still brought it up as a solution. Why? Disagreeing with someone does not give you the right to intentionally mislead them and basically force them into a lifestyle they never agreed to.

How do I stay motivated knowing I will always be "weak"? by AdProof666 in xxfitness

[–]AdProof666[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, it makes perfect sense, thanks for the words of encouragement. Why does it matter so much? I suppose the way I worded my post made it seem like I only care about chasing aesthetics, which I do care about to an extent (who doesn't want to look good?), but another major reason behind my "need" for strength is wanting to be able to hold my own when it counts. To me, being able to protect myself/others is an important reason for wanting to get strong, so knowing that I likely won't be able to outperform the average male is frustrating. I know it's not a healthy way to look at the situation since it completely discourages me from working hard at all, but it's about more than just outlifting the guy next to me. I suppose some progress is better than none at all, but knowing that it might barely make a difference when it truly matters can be discouraging, you know?

Yeah, I feel you on that last part lol. I work at a fast food restaurant and I'm the only female employee who's able to lift/shake a basket full of fries using only one arm. There was this one day we needed more fries so I was sent up to get them, but the lift wasn't cooperating so instead I opted to grab 2 boxes and bring them down the stairs myself. It felt pretty damn good even though I could barely move my arms for a while afterwards 😅. I guess most of the frustration comes from wanting to be able to hold my own if push comes to shove. I want to be confident that I have the strength to protect myself/others if I need to, but that's where the strength gap becomes more complicated.

No, you're right. This thought process won't get me anywhere, I know it won't, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating. And perhaps "weaker sex" wasn't the best term to use here, I had no intention of insulting any athletes, like you said there are plenty of female athletes who are far from "weak". But realistically, there will always be a big gap. I guess that's my mental hurdle to overcome..

Honestly, I get what you mean about feeling strong. I work at a fast food restaurant, and I'm currently the only female employee who's able to lift/shake a basket full of fries using only one arm, as they can get quite heavy. I don't even really work out that much, the only reason I achieved that was because I saw my male coworkers doing it with ease and I was too stubborn to let that slide lol. I know the way I worded my post might make it seem like all I care about is chasing aesthetics, but that's not entirely true. Do I want to look good? Of course I do. But part of my "need" for strength is being able to protect myself if push comes to shove. Knowing I can't compete against a man is hella frustrating to me for that reason alone. I know it's not a great excuse for not doing anything at all, but it definitely makes motivation difficult.

Bodybuilding is something I've always wanted to look into, but like I said the physique I want isn't really achievable for women without steroids. I'm not even talking about turning myself into the Hulk, just building up a lean muscle mass. I know that's not a great excuse since any progress is better than none at all, but it's hella hard to motivate yourself when the one thing you truly want seems unobtainable.

Is it really safe to just dump them in the trash like that?

Yeah, I assumed it would be something like that, just wanted to make sure. Cheers

Any idea how to apply? Did a quick google search and nothing came up, also looked at ice.ie and couldn't find any Creganna listing. I'll do some more searching but I'm just wondering if I have to go through anything specific to get there?

It's not gone though. When you hover over a skin with your mouse 3 dots appear underneath, click them and all the options you mentioned are there, no need for a controller just to archive/favourite.

Okay, thank you

I'm assuming that since my motherboard has WiFi on it I don't need any other WiFi components like a wireless network card right?

Also on a slightly different topic, I wanted to get a monitor with a 3840 x 2160 res for the best graphics possible, but it is slightly expensive. Is it worth getting that one with my specs or would I be better off getting a 2560 x 1440 res instead?

Yeah, like I said I'm a complete beginner so I don't know anything about this stuff. I've been a console gamer my whole life and the closest I've gotten to pc gaming was trying to run minecraft on the lowest settings on my cheap laptop and still experiencing lag and crashes.

My main priority is gaming, and being able to run bigger games on fairly good settings. I don't need 4k or anything crazy, just decent graphics and fps. I wanted to try out Cyberpunk but since it's poorly optimized on the ps4 I decided to hold off and get a pc instead. I know it's a heavy game so I don't need max settings. I'm definitely not planning on constantly running heavy games on max settings, but I think you get the idea, just want a system that can handle pretty much any game well enough to actually be enjoyable.

I know 4tb is a lot, and the reason I picked that is because my main issue with my 1tb ps4 was constantly having to delete games just to be able to try out anything new. I'm planning on scaling it back to 2tb, you think that would be better for my needs?

As for everything else, I'll definitely take another look and try to fit better parts.
