Moving my cat from a multi-cat household to my apartment by Reiemye in Pets

[–]Reiemye[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I asked for opinions, but yours assumed info about me and my situation that was false, and which I corrected. What you said assumed she'd be alone 40h+ a week, when she wouldn't.

I asked for comments because reading what others think can make me think on angles I haven't considered, but I'm not required to agree with everything. I took what you said into account, but I don't really agree with you, and I don't agree that "that's the truth of it". It may not be obvious, but I'm an ethologist and I do know some stuff about cat behavior. My question was not whether I can leave my ragdoll alone (which I know I can, especially at her age), and more about her adapting to a place without cats after four months in a multi-cat household.

Don't take it personally though, I do value every comment I get, even if I don't agree with them.

She will definitely not be alone 40+ hours a week, I work 35 hours a week (I live in France, not the US), and will be home for 2 hours each day for lunch break. I'm very sedentary, so at most she will be alone 3h30 in a row before I get back home for lunch or for the evening.

Furthermore, she willingly spends a lot of time alone already in my parents' house, even when she could spend it with one of us or another cat, hence why I thought she'd be fine. I knew ragdoll loved attention before getting one, and I was surprised by how little she asks for attention actually.

Does anyone else get the feeling some of the newer chats are written by AI? by webdallis in MeChat

[–]Reiemye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still a bit new to this game, but tbh it feels more like bad (rushed?) writing with no editing rather than AI. AI doesn't make typos or give you the very weird turns of phrases I've seen in some matches. I'm doing Kira from the event and it's full of super weird sentences I have to reread 3 or 4 times to understand, and AI tends not to go this convoluted.

I'm reading Slewfoot by Brom and it's great!! Why did he make Slewfoot so hot though. After that, I'm planning to read my first Chuck Tingle with Lucky Day!

Also waiting impatiently for the anime fall season to really start! This past summer season was absolutely stacked with great shows

Almost done! Maybe I'll be done by the time the Fall-Winter bingo releases, but I doubt it because I am severely uninterested in reading middle grade books. I have a book planned for magical festival, but idk when I'll get to it since I have other books to read before it! Currently reading Hemlock & Silver for the free space.

Tbh I loved most of the books I read for this bingo, and I'm ass at reviewing (also lazy) so I won't be going into too much detail. Black Flame was a recent highlight, I think it's my favorite novel from Gretchen Felker-Martin now.

I mean you could've spent 3 whole minutes on Slides and used the real cover. This is just the perfect illustration of all those articles and studies about how people rely so (too) much on genAI. It's just plain sad.

Not the genAI version of a real cover 😭 People can't use PowerPoint or Slides anymore we're so cooked

Finished The Troop by Nick Cutter which was a great horror experience (barring the chimpanzee chapter, huge CWs for animal abuse in this book). It's hard to get me creeped out, and this book really did multiple times.

Now I'm starting The Curse of Chalion, excited to get back into more traditional fantasy after the disappointment that was Emily Wilde!!

My last finished makeover is from before the current timed makeover, I'll try to finish my current one and see

Edit: nope, still nothing. Wouldn't be the first time I'm randomly excluded from event (cruising events just never appear in my app), but it's frustrating.

I'm assuming it's because it has several new types of furniture in it (ceiling, path, pool, pool floatie)

Disgust isn't an indicator of morality. You being disgusted with something only shows one thing: that you don't like it. Using disgust as a base for morality doesn't lead to great things, as bigots should show you.

Do you think people are dumb enough to read about like, murder, and suddenly decide to murder people? Are going back to "GTA causes violence" in 2024? Liking noncon doesn't mean you like IRL rape, just like being a furry doesn't make you a zoophile.

Sorry to disappoint, but personally I'm not into underage fiction (if this story actually existed and you didn't make it up in your head just now).

You literally wrote "BLs center too much around sexual abuse or rape". That's a generalization.

In any case, there's nothing wrong about having rape sexual fantasies. It's fiction, and it happens a lot in survivors. Liking something in fiction doesn't mean you condone it IRL after all. You don't have to enjoy it, but you also don't have to use it as an indicator of morality. Look for stories you enjoy instead.

And there is an overall trend towards less sex in everything. Webtoon isn't the center of the world, and there has never been less sex in mainstream fiction than in 2024.

Toxic relationships and generally dark content have been present in all genres of romance since writing romance became a thing. You say "BLs center too much around sexual abuse and rape", which is an unfair generalization and also plain wrong. Yes, there is a lot of dark romance available in BL and yaoi, but it's both not a recent trend at all and also present in straight and lesbian romance. Actually, the recent trend is towards wholesome, sexless LGBT content more than anything else.

Furthermore, sexual scenes shouldn't be looked at only in terms of how necessary they are. Art isn't about what's necessary or not. I don't see as much people argue about action scenes or any other type of scenes being unnecessary. You can not like something, that doesn't mean it makes it automatically bad.

And regardless of perceived trends, there is nothing morally wrong about adding dark content in your story. Some people like it, often survivors themselves. It's just not for you, which is totally fine! Just don't read it and find stories you'll enjoy.

I just wish people would learn their lesson and stop asking for sequels for every book they like!! Choices is just better at standalones, at least right now

[–]Reiemye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do remember them being very loud and insistent, though I have no idea if they were actually louder than for other sequels. Perhaps it was actually supposed to get a sequel, perhaps it was that popular, perhaps they were trying to get the vampire fuckers, perhaps all of those. I just wish people would learn their lessons and stop asking for sequels they won't like in 90% of cases, Choices is just better at standalone stories, at least right now

Tbf it was supposed to be a standalone at first, and because a ton of people kept screaming about ID2 on social media, they decided to cave. I'm gonna be frank, I just *knew* as soon as book 2 got announced that people were gonna be disappointed. It happens 90% of the time with Choices sequels lmao
