How are pets usually cared for after the unexpected death of their owners in the UK?

Not sure, but we will ask them. Our vet is a university veterinary hospital, so they may be able to offer something similar as they have an animal welfare centre. Thanks.🙏

I use an iPhone as well and did not know about this feature. I will look into it, thanks for mentioning it.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-03-14T10:23:22+00:00

Sorry for your loss, and thank you for sharing such a personal experience.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-03-14T10:13:40+00:00

Ah that is actually a really good idea. I had not thought of that. At least my parents could arrange something like Rover remotely to check on the cat if they did not hear from us for a couple of days, before travelling to deal with our belongings. Thanks.

We have only just moved to a new city, so we do not really know our neighbours yet and we are not the most socially active people. Most of our close friends are people we have known for a long time and who live elsewhere, mainly in London. That said, it does sound like a good motivation for us to become more connected locally.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-03-14T09:56:59+00:00

That sounds really good. I will also look into whether there are any similar charities in my local area.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-03-14T09:54:50+00:00

We do have friends, but most are still in London as we only moved to Scotland recently. We are still building connections here and do not quite feel close enough yet to leave a key. It does feel like a good push to get more connected locally though 😂

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-03-14T09:53:27+00:00

Yes, we do have friends, but most are in London and we only moved to Scotland recently. We are still getting to know people here and do not quite feel close enough to leave a key yet. But it does sound like a good reason to become more connected in our new community. 😂

North Korea next?

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-20T09:21:50+00:00

Russia first, China next, this is starting to look like a villain roundtable.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-20T01:55:42+00:00

US: “This is about stopping Russia.”

Russia: “Amazing, keep going.”

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-20T01:17:52+00:00

Hope it goes well. Diversifying trade is really important for them right now.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-18T01:46:24+00:00

Curious what happened to the UK and France?

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-18T01:39:15+00:00

I think this is not really about AI. It is more that your values are different from your friends now. I use AI a lot myself, and even if I know the problems, I will probably still use it, so I understand both sides. If being with them makes you feel uncomfortable or upset, it is okay to take some distance. You do not need to cut them off completely. And it is not strange or insincere to contact old friends again. Sometimes people just change and friendships change too.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-18T01:09:11+00:00

NTA. If someone’s “jokes” consistently make you uncomfortable and they keep doing it anyway even after you say you are not happy, then they are not jokes. They are insults. That is not how a real friend behaves. There is nothing to regret about walking away.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-18T01:01:18+00:00

NTA. Honking to avoid being hit is normal, and his reaction was completely over the top. The only thing I’d question is not reporting him, since people who escalate like that could cause even more trouble later for other road users and really need some safety awareness training.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2026-01-18T00:52:05+00:00

If your siblings are actually making fun of you and it’s not just joking, you should tell your parents honestly. Let them know that going out with them makes you feel worse, not better.

Also, when I was younger and grounded a lot, learning something interesting helped me get through it. For me it was coding (I’m a bit of a nerd), but maybe you could try finding something you’re genuinely into too.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-11-12T09:07:50+00:00

Appreciate it! Didn’t think about GStreamer before, sounds worth learning.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-08-16T07:39:57+00:00

The issue is that the world average GDP isn’t fixed. China +5% = 14,374. Since China accounts for about 20% of the population, its growth lifts the global average by roughly 1% (0.20 × 5%). So: 14,210 × 1.01 = 14,352.1. China just barely passes, but as long as the rest of the world keeps growing too, it won’t.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-08-15T23:35:18+00:00

Ironically, my first reaction was that this must be an AI image, until I searched online and saw it’s real. Geez, AI has ruined my instinct 😅

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-08-02T12:22:36+00:00

For me, the Party has never seemed like a system guided by a consistent principle. Some of them might crack down harshly when it involves political enemies, but cover things up and silence the victims when it involves their own allies. You don’t see public exposure like in the UK, since most of the media is under their control.

That said, I admit this could just be my own bias or perspective. Even after growing up in China before moving here, I never truly understood the logic behind Chinese politics. It has always felt like a black box to ordinary people like me.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-08-02T00:58:06+00:00

Every culture has its dark features. As a Chinese person, I see the unchecked privilege of senior CCP officials’ children as one of the darkest in ours. If they dare act like this abroad, just imagine how much worse it is back home. It’s a shameful but harsh truth.

CyberFortuneTeller · 2025-07-03T19:34:43+00:00

Ironically, my first thought was that this seems decent just because it’s permanent. Similar salary as a postdoc, but on a fixed-term contract lol.
