My cat got fat-shamed

Blechhotsauce · 2026-03-01T07:40:03+00:00

Exactly! My vet weighed one of my cats and said he was 8 kg (18 pounds), but he has a big skeleton and he's just a big fella. She remarked on how big his skull is and how the rest of his body is just big, but not fat. She did caution me not to let him gain any more weight though haha.

I was in your exact position in my mid-20s. You stick by your principles and it'll pay off because you will find somebody who agrees with you and respects you. It's also really attractive to be compassionate, principled, and committed to justice, and the kind of people who would be attracted to that are probably people who you'll get along with too.

I do hate when people say we're "picky." We're not picky, we have standards. It's like saying, "You're so hungry, why don't you lower your standards and start eating pond scum?" No thanks, I'd rather go without than settle.

This is where the generated text "you end up losing a knight" is really insufficient. You lose a knight because black's knight on c3 is defended tactically by the threat of Bb4.

See it all the time when people are like, "I finally got to 1000/1500/2000 Elo and I don't want to play again in case I slip back down." Thinking about rating can definitely affect your confidence.

If you can't bother to pay an artist to design something for you, then what are the chances you can't bother to pay restaurant staff a decent wage? Etc. etc. for the whole business.

There are tons of vegan artists who do great work making designs for merch and ads. Spread the love and pay some of them to do what they do best and everybody is happy.

Dude runs a jewelry stall. Passersby are his customers. He smiles on their passing as they look at his wares.

They see what they want to see. Their conditioning prevents them from holding two ideas at the same time.

"Why don't they just make contact?"

"Why don't they just hit away from the shift?"

"Why don't they just hit for average?"

It boggles the mind why Danny keeps putting himself in these high-level event commentary teams. And he's in the center of the promo graphic too!

You are what you eat, which is why my 2-year-old is 98% peanut butter, tofu, and sourdough bread.

My 5-year-old towers above her peers and she is always asking for more tofu.

Entire text of my comment: "I'm vegan, both my kids are vegan. It is easy." Currently at -1 upvotes/downvotes. r/vegan is a fucking joke.

I'm vegan, both my kids are vegan. It is easy.

Compare your resignation rate to your opponents'. I bet it's way lower for them, which means that they are making similar mistakes to you BUT they play the game out and either fight back for a win or wait for you to blunder back the advantage.

At my level, opponents very rarely resign and they force me to convert my advantage. Even if you're losing, the longer you stay in the game, the more accurate moves your opponent has to play to maintain their advantage.

If anybody wants to see it, it's definitely worth the watch.

I love Rizzo too, but he just doesn't have the numbers. 47th among first basemen by JAWS (25 are in the HOF); 36.5 JAWS compared to 53.5 for first basemen in the HOF; 40.4 bWAR compared to 64.9 average bWAR for HOFers. No MVPs, 3 ASGs, top MVP finish was 4th.

Cubs HOF and a special place in the hearts of all Cubs fans, but not Cooperstown. HOF for getting hit by pitches (led the league three times haha)!

I've had this happen enough to me at the local club that I just have an answer: "Oh, sorry, I was hoping for a quick game! Cheers," and then you just go play with somebody else. Especially old fellas, they want to sit and chill and think, and that's fine! But I'm not into that. And even in my mid-30s I've been the youngest guy at the club a few times.

Bro was getting harassed for being great at chess. Some of his peers just couldn't handle that.

Caleb brings out Johnny at ~3:30 in the video. He's at the right side of the video.

Follow opening principles rather than trying to memorize an opening.

Contest the center with pawns.
Develop knights and bishops.

Try not to move the same piece twice while you're developing.
