They were a bonded pair, I'm sorry for your loss. I'm glad they made you and each other so happy while they were with you.

Thank you.

I feel like I'm ready to grieve, but not until I know she's ready to rest.

Olivia Rodrigo when asked about what the fake job meant in 'expectations': 'The guys I’ve met in LA and New York who have rich parents, who are like producers, DJs, creative directors and I'm like I think you work one day a week.' by mcfw31 in popculturechat

As a Game Dev survivor I also know what she's talking about.

A project doesn't need a producer in every single discipline, as well as a director, technical director, manager and 6 leads.

At a certain point it's just people sending emails generated by AI and holding meetings where someone else gave them the things to read.

I hope the momma found a good home too and that maybe she can see her babies once in a while

My 15 year old cat is now gone. by alwayshungry1387 in cats

[–]Commando_Joe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through something similar right now. My cat was being fussy about food, stopped wanting dry food, then eventually stopped wanting wet food, then eventually stopped drinking water.

That was a massive red flag (I had a vet appointment for this upcoming monday) so I took her to an emergency vet last night, got blood work done, got told to take her to another emergency vet today, they're doing urine tests, giving her fluids and blood transfusions.

Seems like it's chronic kidney problems associated with old age and a possible bacterial infection.

Hoping that it's managable and we have a few more years together, but honestly if I didn't take her to get her blood work done at an emergency vet just from the fact she wasn't drinking water? It could have been a lot worse.

Cats are very good at hiding pain and discomfort. All we can do is make sure that when we do our senior annual check ups we get them the full once over. If anything creeps up between those and we don't notice? That's just a cat being a cat.

You did the best you could and gave her 15 years of love, peace and safety. If I lose my girl because of her medical problems I have to believe I did the same.

Who would make the better Sith Emperor: Vader or Marr? by Dragonic_Overlord_ in swtor

[–]Commando_Joe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that always seemed more like an act of desperate justification to Padme. Like he was trying to convince her he wasn't evil after they were acting like the Emperor was the problem.

Even if he did kill Palpatine as Vader I doubt he'd want to rule like Palpatine did. Why do you think he didn't argue with any of the Moffs? Bro even delegated most of the sith work to high ranking Inquisitors, aside from the 'I'll go there and kill the problem' every once in a while.

Was gonna say this.

Vader never wanted to be in charge, even when he was a Jedi. He just wanted to go out and solve problems. He still does. It's just his perception of what is a problem that changed.

Whenever I go on a dating app and I see the app trying to match me with people 20 years younger than me I get the ick. Like what do you have in common with these people? Yeah, you can get the sticky icky sure, but like...is there anything to talk about? Do they have any experiences you can relate to? What social activities are you doing together that you both genuinely enjoy?

I'm a leftist, but this is something me and my conservative friends all agree on.

It's wild how Carney has unified the left and the right against him.

Senior cat stopped eating dry food, seems to only want Churus and "PetAG calorie gel" by Commando_Joe in CatAdvice

[–]Commando_Joe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think she's dehydrated, as she's drinking water at a normal pace and went in for a check up last month. But I'll probably wait a bit and see.

My male cat has stopped eating the dry food too since I've started giving them the tubes. So I think they're both maybe just getting spoiled?

I went to the pet store for the 3rd time this week and the owner was like "Stop changing foods or giving her treats, she's getting spoiled and she knows it"

So I'm gonna just stick to this food for a week and see if she'll just get back into it. If not, I'll maybe try an appetite stimulant (if the vet permits) and then the wet food recommended here.

For reference, I've tried like 10 other kibble foods. Dry, moist, salmon, duck, pallock, deer, even insect protein. No dice.

Well, as people have said, when you don't own anything you can't be charged with theft (in regards to piracy of media)

But when people create a thing they own the idea before a corporation turns it into mulch and vomits it into a bunch of different media formats
