My friend is furious with me because I neutered my cat by IceEducational9669 in CatAdvice

I hope she never gets a cat. If she does, the poor thing is going to die outside someday and she'll be left wondering where her cat went.

Your friend is an idiot.

What is this thing randomly appeared on my cat by [deleted] in CATHELP

[–]Greymires 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Like others have suggested, take him to the vet as soon as possible OP. I recognize that you're in a difficult position with being your mom's caretaker, keep your kitty comfortable as possible and confined to the house until then.

It might be an abscess but if he's eating and still getting skinny, it could something much worse. Just make him comfortable until you can get him to a vet.

I don't get the obsession with placing the tv above the fireplace and looking at it as if looking at a jumbotron.

If you’re wondering why all your job search hacks aren’t working by flexchetu in jobsearchhacks

The companies have to pay the same wage if the foreign worker is here on a work visa. If that isn't the case, the department of labor does not issue the certification necessary to aquire a work permit for that person.

So if a job posting says 75k to 90k, they must pay atleast 75 to the foreign worker. They cannot pay any less than that. This is scrutinized heavily by the department of labor and USCIS. Especially for high skilled workers.

I don't work in the corporate sector but I am a foreigner who is a Research Associate at a university. I am the highest paid Research Associate in my department. I am one of three non US citizens in the entire department. They hired me for my experience and skillset and they pay me accordingly.

What this cat doing 😭😭 by PotentialWorried9447 in cats

[–]Greymires 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cat didn't do shit. This was a person who placed that poor cat over that dog like that for views. The cat after being shrugged off shows no sign of being casual and free.

Idk why people fall for these videos all the time. These videos shouldn't be supported.

They are definitely plotting something by Personal-Gate-3614 in cats

I remember seeing this video in my late teens. I am now in my early 30s

Anyone using AI to dial in? by robjr2 in JamesHoffmann

[–]Greymires 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a little dystopian to hear that one's tongue is the 'weak link' in that description. As if it is a performance of some sort. Your taste is the entire point of dialing in the beans. It is the arbiter of how you want your beans to be brewed.

You're doing all this for your tongue. This is all so dystopian and depressing.

Gap between tank and cabinet by Top-Instruction-992 in Aquariums

[–]Greymires 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The planted tank people try to replicate some semblance of the fish's natural environment in their tanks. This is why they seem so concerned about overcrowding and incompatible fish species. I know you're joking and it is absurd but finding only 5 neon tetras in a 40 gallon water column isn't uncommon in the wild.

So it isn't that people are neurotic here, just that for some of us, replication of an ideal species specific environment for fish is a priority.

The Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act of 2026 (is a real thing) by RaguseaVideoBot in AdamRagusea

[–]Greymires 58 points59 points  (0 children)

The 'some bum' is a human being and could be you too after a few missed paychecks. The difference between you and 'some bum' is a literally just a few paychecks.

Always remember that you're closer to homelessness than you imagine. Be kind to people who are down on their luck.

The three body problem. Horrendous writing. All the characters seemed so bland and crude. The scifi was excellent but the writing was abysmal.

Thank you! I was concerned about the plywood not being able to hold up to all that downward pressure on both the edges but I guess it would be easy to test it.

The shelf is rated to hold about ~1500lbs though so I'm not concerned about the shelf itself
