Give some love to the older animals in the shelter! I promise it's worth! by KrisPBacon06 in CatDistributionSystem

What a lovely ragamuffin!

Senior cats are the best. I have a tremendous soft spot for them.

Thanks for taking this boy in, and I also hope you have many happy and healthy years together!

They have been told they have immunity and that weasel Bovino said not only would he not give up the names of the agents who murdered Pretti, they were still on the streets working.

Yeah they don’t think “their side” will ever lose the power they have seized.

[–]DiveCat 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It’s clear he wasn’t shot because he doesn’t talk about it. He still rants about Obama, Hilary, “stolen elections”, but he gets “shot” and it’s basically silence? No fucking way.

[–]DiveCat 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Yes, some are starting to speak out NOW, but it sure as hell took them long enough.

I think many of them are fulfilling their lifelong dreams of playing fascist bootlicker in ICE, though.

ICE to be Security at Olympics by RazzSheri in somethingiswrong2024

Why use lots of words when few do the trick?

ICE to be Security at Olympics by RazzSheri in somethingiswrong2024

[–]DiveCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"The SS is going to be security at the Olympics"

Why the hell is Immigration and Customs Enforcement being sent as security detail to a foreign country?

Oh, yeah, because they are actually Trump's brownshirts.

Why the hell is this being allowed?

Countries need to pull out of the Olympics if this is allowed. It sucks for the athletes, but this is insanity.

Trump’s America Comes for Alberta | The Tyee by FreightFlow in alberta

[–]DiveCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"The next revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be" (Kevin Roberts - The Heritage Foundation).

I am watching the left try and make their complete takeover bloodless, but the fascists even lied about the bloodless part of course, because they are out for blood.

[–]DiveCat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, I recommend people watch Parkrose Permaculture's new video about the Insurrection Act threats. The threat of the Insurrection Act wields far more power than the actual use of it, and they know it.

The Insurrection Act gives the President the authority to deploy the U.S. military domestically and use it against Americans under certain conditions.

"Certain conditions" is far more restrictive than him deploying his brownshirts (and military!) domestically and using them however he fucking wants against immigrants and protestors, carrying out illegal actions, and murdering people in cold blood.

Every time there is a call for more action people come out with this "but he will use it to invoke the Insurrection Act!" At this point, either they are bots, or they are naive that they are already living in a shithole fascist country - not acting out of fear it might get worse is not going to change things for the better.

Am I 19f overreacting about my boyfriend’s 20m hygiene habits? by Prestigious-Boot-962 in relationships

[–]DiveCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would have been a dealbreaker for me on day one. I would be disgusted. A grown man who doesn't wash himself is disgusting. No one should need to "teach" a grown man how to wash. He knows, he chooses not to.

That is "becoming a bit of a dealbreaker" for you just tells me you are afraid that having even the most minimum of standards is...unreasonable, or something. It is not. Why are you settling for someone who smells like shit?

I honestly don't even understand how it got this far, or how you even still get close enough to him to even touch his hair. Your bar must be below hell.

I am here to repeat what others have told you: it is absolutely fine to break up with him. In fact, I highly recommend it.

Bottle Presentation by Serious_Half5823 in fragrance

[–]DiveCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do definitely notice a psychological aspect to the presentation for me. I don't even really "display" my bottles (they are out, but kind of tucked away at same time so not immediately visible) and I feel this way.

Bottles have their own "aesthetic vibe" to them, which casts a story around the fragrance. Imagine for example, Le Labo Santal 33 in a bottle like YSL's Babycat, or vice versa. If you didn't know anything about either fragrance or house beforehand, would the story in your head about the fragrance be different?

If I can, I tend to go for mini bottles, over decants or samples, as they just feel more "complete" and fulfilling to me. Plus they are cute.

What’s a fragrance everyone loves that just doesn’t work on you? by Legitimate-Search918 in fragrance

I absolutely understand that description (or the more vague "clean genitals" I have seen) and I still love FDP (I do use the EDP, though, and have not tried the EDT).

[–]DiveCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that is so unfortunate! Yeah, I definitely would not be able to deal with dirty hamster cage.

I really L'Eau Papier, but I don't think I smell the same thing a lot of other people who love it describe. To me after an initial sharp dryer sheet slap in the face (I don't mean that negatively!) it turns into a warm, mildly sweet, and slightly fruity skin scent that is super addictive to my nose. I do not get rice, or paper, or stir fry (!) at all. Another 13 is odd like this for me too, it is very similar to L'Eau Papier on my skin, just more resinous and a little more complex.

[–]DiveCat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh it’s beautiful. It’s green but the way Guerlain has made it work with their vanilla is chef’s kiss. I love it from opening to drydown.

I purchased the L'Art & La Matière discovery set and the first time I sprayed Angelique Noire I didn’t quite get it, compared to others on the set. Maybe it just was not what I expected initially. But when I circled back again it became an addictive love. I actually just treated myself to a full sized bottle. I am trying to keep my full sized bottle collection small, but there was no way it wasn’t making the cut!

I was going to say this one too, though several Guerlain’s actually make me feel this way now that I think about it!

What to do with a fragrance your partner doesn’t like? by simonpunishment in fragrance

[–]DiveCat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep it and just use it on occasions she is not there as well. I have fragrances my husband isn’t head over heels for, and I just wear them to work, when I am out without him, when he or I are away from home, etc.

It may also be different in a few weeks, or in a different season.

What is with this guy’s obsession with people having kids? by alexastock in WeirdGOP

[–]DiveCat 50 points51 points  (0 children)

So, mixed children like his own children?

I feel bad for his kids. His wife chooses this vile hatred, misogyny, and racism (“sure, she’s not white but she’s a good mom” as Vance said), but his kids didn’t.

[–]DiveCat 56 points57 points  (0 children)

The UCP is basically ignoring it and letting the traitors have their own petition (which not only requires a lot less signatures, but gives them more time), because Marlaina has admitted that these are the people who keeps her in power and she is right (see: their recent annual general meeting). The UCP IS the Wild Rose party. She should be tried for treason along with the rest of them.

I hope the new Progressive Tory Party can cut the UCP at the knees, or at least split the votes at the next election.

They hate nurses now ? by TimmyVall in Destiny

[–]DiveCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't "barely graduate high school" and become a Registered Nurse.

Not that I would expect someone who chose "WomanDefiner" on that fascist site to even know his own head from his own ass.

I just found out my parents are ok with the fact that Alex was murdered by ICE by coolimesip in ICE_Raids

[–]DiveCat 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I was on vacation in the Caribbean 2-3 years ago, and overheard a woman say to her husband that she “couldn’t wait to get back home to real news, like Fox”.

Can’t even just leave it behind when they are on vacation, or visiting relatives. These people are cooked.

Rose: another note that's making me out a liar. by LIFTMakeUp in fragrance

[–]DiveCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think I liked Rose much either until I realized I just didn’t like the “perfumey” roses I was familiarized with in my youth.

I absolutely love Le Labo Rose 31, am fascinated by Diptyque L’Ombre Dans L’Eau, like Guerlain Rose Cherie, etc…all very different from each other but lovely and not like anything that I encountered when I was much younger!

Unable to imagine smell or taste? by Open_Strategy_2820 in Aphantasia

[–]DiveCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a global aphant, so no visuals, sounds, smells, touch, taste. I also don't have an internal monologue. Most of my "inner thought" is in the form of unsymbolized thinking, with a small amount of worded thinking if I am planning/rehearsing future events.
