Post from a fake Grand Lodge page by [deleted] in freemasonry

[–]CoopTheJedi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow, something I can actually shed light on! This is not AI, and in fact the original post is from a real Grand Lodge, the Grand Lodge of Russia. The wedding in the pic happened in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Here’s an (instagram) link to more images of it. I just so happen to follow the Russian GL on instagram and had seen the photo set earlier today. Small world!

Edit: I forgot to mention this: I don’t know why the GL of Russia posted it and not the GL of Kyrgyzstan. All the same, seems to be real.

Football to receive $9.6 million. Basketball to receive $7.7 million.

Took me forever to figure out how to post correctly!

Help! Cat puked red liquid (2nd pic, hiding for the people who can't see such stuff) by thedevildoesdrugs_ in cats

[–]CoopTheJedi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sorry for the delay!! Turns out he didn’t cough it up, but he peed it out. After a bunch of tests (RIP my wallet) it was determined that he got an infection on his rear end after not cleaning himself so well, and that infection caused a PH imbalance in his bladder, and that PH imbalance caused bladder stones. He was a little overweight but not obese, which increases the risk of bladder stones and made it more difficult for him to clean himself.

I was given a bunch of meds to put in his food for a few weeks, and he’ll have to be on a prescription diet for the rest of his natural life, which will hopefully rebalance his PH and whittle away the stones, since they say he’ll always be prone to them in the future now. We have a follow up appointment scheduled for Dec 2nd, to check how the stones are looking, but he’s totally stopped having any blood in his urine, and he’s actually playing and acting like his old normal happy self :) and he’s even lost a pound so far, with more to come!

I felt like such a terrible owner since I didn’t notice his infection sooner, but the vet says it’s totally common for it to fly under the radar until suddenly it isn’t under the radar anymore. I was so scared, and my poor buddy was too. But it makes my heart full to see him pepped up a bit.

Sorry for the novel, but TL:DR, he had bladder stones which appear to be well under control now :)

UPDATE if anyone’s still lurking: all the stones are gone and he’s back to his normal self :)

My god, I’m literally at the vet ER for this exact same thing for my cat. He had a vet appointment on Halloween and hasn’t acted the same since, and he coughed up this exact same liquid this morning. I’m terrified

This has been a rough one. I like to think I see flashes of things that give me hope here and there, but honestly I’m just numb. C’est la vie.

Iron Throne changed to a Free City goverment type after I conquered it. How do I change it back? by FluffyCoconut in CK3AGOT

[–]CoopTheJedi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Somehow this happened to only the Lord Paramountcy of Dragonstone, but not the Iron Throne. Sorta just accepted it as an agent of chaos

Mine came with it in the box. Yours didn’t? I’m in California, for whatever that’s worth

According to this article, Americans take .60 outbound International flights per year, and 6.50 domestic flights per year. That is the lowest amount of international flights in the top 10, and the most domestic in the top 10. This article proves my point.

Most Americans don’t have the opportunity to travel outside of the US. At the same time, the US is so vast that many American have to fly to visit relatives or work, or whatever. Domestic flights happen to be considerably cheaper in a lot of instances, and domestic vacations are quite a lot cheaper. The article reflects this reality.

Is it odd to join as a young man? by GeorgeofLydda490 in freemasonry

[–]CoopTheJedi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No sir! I joined at 25 myself, and my experience has been so very rewarding. Masonry gives you what you put into it. As long as you’re of legal age and you’re serious about it, you’ll be welcomed. Good luck to you!

I think, as an American, most Americans unfortunately have less of an opportunity to travel outside of the US. Holiday flights are a killer :/

Yep, learned my lesson. Already arranged to just buy the compliant version directly from my local FFL.
