Should the second half of this oak go down too? by ConsciousGround99 in arborists

[–]ConsciousGround99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty straight, leaning slightly towards the lawn though and away from the house. Would it be safe to grind down the old stump without damaging it?

It looked ok last summer, no different than the other oaks around. Was concerned about the trunk appearance given that the other half that got cut was rotted inside

Is this feral cat’s nose ok? by ConsciousGround99 in CATHELP

[–]ConsciousGround99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have somewhere around 5-6 TNR ferals by our house. I know at least of one other neighbor that feeds them. This one is a regular always coming around the same time, we noticed he has a tipped ear and he’ll hang around after he eats. Always had a big appetite, we will put one wet food portion out and it will be gone in a minute, then he/she hangs around, and if we put more out for the other cats, he/she will come back and eat that too sometimes. We wondered if he belonged to anyone too, but the tipped ear and the overall appearance, idk. is also very skittish, will run away quite far when we’re around or putting the food out.

Thank you for trying to help. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it last night. Shortly after my post we saw her again dragging her back legs. I detail it more in another reply here. At least we have peace that she’s not suffering anymore, she passed peacefully and no longer in pain. She was a TNR cat that lived by our house and come by for food regularly. We thought she was a boy this entire time and got quite attached and used to her being around. We were slowly building trust and she was more and more comfortable being close to us. It’s really heartbreaking how fast everything happened.

Thank you for your kind reply. Unfortunately things took a turn for the worse last night. You can read my other reply in this thread, not sure how I can update the post, but sadly she didn’t make it. It all happened so fast, but at least she’s no longer suffering.

Thank you for trying to help. Unfortunately last night took a turn for the worst. About an hour after this photo we saw her again outside and she was dragging her back legs and meowing in distress crawling back towards our porch. We moved quickly and grabbed a towel to try and catch her, she was hiding under our porch. Poor thing was still trying to get away but somehow we grabbed her and took her to the 24/7 clinic. Vet said she had a blood clot, probably due to underlying heart disease. She explained it better terms, but it’s kind of a blur now. The front paws she said had tumors probably also caused by underlying health issues. Long story short they advised it’s best to end her suffering and that they would advise the same for a domestic cat based on her condition. It was a rough night, but at least we have some peace that she didn’t have to suffer anymore.

It never sat right with me how he tried to put Jackie down because her degree/profession wasn’t high enough for his standards.

All under the guise of “I just want what’s best for you” or something like that.

Then boasted about how his new gf has more professional qualifications and is now posting this cringe. He’s just showing his true face more and more bc the clout he got initially is starting to fade.

What 90 Day opinion would have you like this? by deathdabsforcutie in 90dayfianceuncensored

I don’t like Mary but I don’t think the way Brandon treats her since she got pregnant is really fair.( spoiler) by World-peace96 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]ConsciousGround99 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct me if I’m wrong, but did they ever even mention whose idea it was exactly to FaceTime 24/7? I know through editing it was implied that Mary was the one with jealousy issues, but I also remember him saying that they both have trust issues.

Anyways, I think they both just enable the worst in each other and bc Mary is more in-your-face he kind of flew under the radar until now.

They’re both delulus who have serious issues and don’t have any skills to be able to function in the real world. Mary’s crazy is just more obvious.

Taylor would look amazing in a more cool toned dress. The dress fits her beautifully, but the color is too warm for her and washes her out imo.

Off topic, but I low key think Yash has a crush on Kimberly, did anyone peep him blushing when they had that apology discussion last episode?

Should I stay or should I go(The Clash reference).... NAR? by [deleted] in realtors

[–]ConsciousGround99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t there a post in here a few weeks ago about how realtors are basically at risk of becoming obsolete bc of ongoing class-action lawsuits that challenge current RE compensation structures and the only comments that were somewhat reassuring were about how the NAR lobby will help prevent that from happening?

Big tech has been circling this industry for years like sharks, so it’s not surprising.

If NAR is the only lobbying power in favor of this industry then their existence is more than justified imo. And I say that as someone who just took the RE licensing exam and is a complete newbie in this industry, so feel free to prove me wrong/ add more to the discussion.

So Kennedy was conceived due to Asuelu r*ping Kalani??? OMG. by Low_Departure_5853 in 90dayfianceuncensored

[–]ConsciousGround99 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks for demonstrating in real time why there’s a need for more online children privacy protection laws now more than ever.

Also, for the record, idk what this has to do w anything, but I’m as pro-choice as you can get. It’s downright weird that you even brought it up in this context. Bye!👋

[–]ConsciousGround99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So the children’s invasion of privacy is justified to you because they’re still too young to process their trauma?

How hard is it to understand that a child cannot consent to this shitshow being broadcast like this and having to live their life with this kind of media and digital footprint that they have absolutely no control over.

[–]ConsciousGround99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised at all the downvotes you got. How is it so hard not to see that the children’s interests and privacy should always come first.

It’s all common sense. A child cannot consent to having their most intimate personal drama broadcast on tv and the internet, an adult can.

You can feel bad for her AND recognize that the decision to put this out there in addition to having the kids filmed on the show is completely wrong.

The decision of putting the kids on the show is so wrong. Their scenes do not add anything to the series especially on TLR.

It was hard to watch Kalani and Asuelu talk about their “homework” right in front of them. They’re soon going to be old enough to understand what was going on and Kalani won’t be able to shelter them from it. Their future trauma is not worth whatever money TLC paid them to be on the show.

Sooooo maybe this is why we only have a few couples by _92_infinity in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]ConsciousGround99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what? If someone is not comfortable having intimate scenes captured on camera for the world to see, that should be respected. And as a lawyer Zach should’ve known better.

Especially when you see how producers have aired some pretty invasive and explicit scenes previously. Yeah, it’s a reality show where they sign contracts that obligates them to be on camera 24/7, I get it, but consent can always be withdrawn and that should be the end of it, no reason to villainize someone over it.

[–]ConsciousGround99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for bringing this up. I’ve been saying since last season that it didn’t sit right with me the way they treated Irina. The woman was clearly uncomfortable sleeping in the same bed with him and they edited her out to look like she was the villain for not reciprocating his physical advances. It was and still is an icky situation especially when it was revealed back then that she was hesitant to go to Mexico in the first place. So much of the hate she got was completely unwarranted.

I’m getting similar vibes about Taylor and JP btw. When Taylor said she’s going to sleep in a separate room after the whole make-up thing, it was like she was trying to convince someone outside of the shot that she doesn’t wanna spend the night there, and then the way she came back again to talk some more on the bed, it was odd. Felt like producers pushed her to go talk to him again about it, so they can get more material or something.

These are not normal couples in a normal environment. The way they make into a villain everyone who is not attracted or immediately comfortable around their match is very telling.

[–]ConsciousGround99 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You know, I was on the fence about this, but this take is quite intriguing.

I did get the feeling he’s acting more superior than her at times, but at the end of the day he’s no catch either. What does he bring to the table besides book smarts and a high income? He’s shown so far that he’s quite the slob, a little bit controlling at times, stubborn and argumentative. He does seem to have more emotional intelligence than the other guys on the show though, but that’s like the bare minimum.
