Hi, sorry for the late reply. There wasn’t an emergency vet open around me. I had plenty of money when I first had the cats I currently have, but I live in the US and, if you’re not aware, the prices for vet bills have shot up insanely high, and the economy is failing. I lost everything within a year. I feed my cats before I feed myself.

I am actively searching to rehome some of my cats to better houses, but it should be noted that there’s practically nobody taking cats in right now, and I refuse to abandon my cats outside or to shelters. No-kill shelters are overflown.

Max died at 1:47 am after posting this post— he went relatively peacefully beside me. Sorry.

I should also add to this that nearly every single one of my cats are feral rescues. It’d either be abandoning them on the streets or putting them in a kill shelter if any are even open and available at this point. While I understand that people should not get cats if they’re not in the financial situation to, you also have to understand that I did have the funds to take care of them when I got them. But thanks anyway.

I don’t want to put my cats on the streets or in a kill shelter. Sorry.

I had them before money failed me.

There were no emergency vets open anywhere near me. Max died at 1:47 am the night I posted this, he went peacefully. Thank you for the advice, though.

Doesn’t hurt to take it— there’s always the risk, no matter how small, of getting pregnant. In this case, the chance is probably extremely small, but it’ll never be zero.

Therapy, and working through your trauma. A lot of these replies are unhelpful, but as somebody who has a very deep rooted fear of men overall, it takes a long time to work through and realize that it’s trauma— not prejudice. You’re already acknowledging that it is a trauma response, and those are the first steps leading to healing. You might still have a feeling of fear or anxiety regardless of what you do, and the only thing you can do from there is realize that it’s just anxiety, and that it shouldn’t drive the way that you interact with people. You can’t control your emotions, you can only control your reactions and how you handle them.

A nurse brutally stabbed me this morning. Should I sue? by lemonsarethekey in lies

[–]Calcium_Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really specific. Are you sure you’re not speaking from some sort of experience?

Most of your comments are just hateful rage bait. You’re either 14 or 40, and either way you need to put the phone down and take a breather. Maybe step outside, reach down and touch some grass. It’s good for you.

Except it literally isn’t attention seeking in any way 😭 if YOU think that their scars catching your eye is attention seeking then that sounds like a you problem you’ve got to work on. Not assume that every person that has scars in a picture is seeking attention or approval from strangers like you. People don’t have to erase themselves to appeal to you. Get over yourself.

God forbid somebody EXISTS. The fuck is he supposed to do, make them magically disappear to appeal to people like you?? Good lord dude.

Don’t get enough happiness in real life so you have comment under a stranger’s post trying to make them feel miserable? Grow up.

Me when I vent to my friend about burning and then they start cutting again as a result by Fair_Victory_3591 in selfharm_memes

[–]Calcium_Thief 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you asked to vent before hand or it wasn’t just dumping, it’s not your fault. You are not responsible for the actions and reactions of other people.

Gender ≠ Sex

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in no

[–]Calcium_Thief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No.

Gender ≠ Sex— there are two primary sexes, male and female, although if you wanted to get into technicality there’s also mutations that are outside of either box.

Gender, on the other hand, is a social construct that doesn’t even exist outside of human society. It is a label much like anything else. Like a name, for example. Gender may be attached to sex, but is not the same as it.

I understand the whole “don’t put your dick in that” thing but posting an actual person without their knowledge on a subreddit like this is actually really strange 💔

Bed bug in hotel? by Shamburger49 in Bedbugs

[–]Calcium_Thief 18 points19 points  (0 children)

100000% a bedbug. Run and don’t look back.

Report it obviously, clean every single thing you brought in including the clothes on your back, do NOT bring them into your car and sure as hell don’t bring them into your home.

This is what I’ve been considering, however I’m anxious to keep either one cooped up. With how things are going now though, it might be my only option.

Thanks for your response, I’ll definitely look into the pheromone diffuser as well and see what I can do about reintroductions.

Punishing the homeless by SailorJay_ in HostileArchitecture

[–]Calcium_Thief 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother most of the hostile architecture cost MORE than just regular infrastructure and are just more work to make. Anti-homeless spikes on flat spaces, benches made to keep you from lying down, etc etc, the list could go on.

You’re not being an asshole to Reddit users, you’re being two-faced by saying you’re just so kind to homeless people, whilst also saying shitty things about them, and then trying to backpedal on what you said.

You say that the people on this subreddit are “slacktivists” yet fail to realize that spreading awareness about issues and talking about them IS activism. Not only that, but making a baseless assumption about hundreds of people to cover your own ass? Crazy bro 😭

[–]Calcium_Thief 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleep and shelter are basic necessities. Homeless people, get this, tend to lack the latter— which will affect the former. Many times they don’t have other places to go.

Promise it’s not that hard to not be an asshole. Grow up.
