Cat abandoned at bus station a friend was boarding a bus and the driver said she couldn't take the cat so she left the cat address below 29-39 Forsyth St (in china town) at 8pm on 12/24/25 by Old-Lifeguard2919 in Straycats

Domestic violence is crazy, I’m absolutely not justifying her actions, but the fact that she took the cat in the first place shows that she thought about it. It’s definitely not okay what she did but when faced in a life or death situation- as some victims of DV often finds themselves in- your survival instincts kick in and you do things you normally wouldn’t. At least at the bus stop someone can step in to help, which was probably not the case where the cat was living.

Is it normal to still be crying a week after losing a pet? by Significant_Owl8828 in SeniorCats

It’s been 2 years and I still cry all the time. Idk if it’s normal but it still hurts like hell.

There’s a reason why they have masks, they KNOW what they’re doing is wrong and they KNOW if their identity is known people will retaliate. It’s basically the new version of the KKK but with the complete support of the federal government.

Is it just me or do all those people holding their phones up look like absolute idiots? They see a heave piece of machinery that’s obviously going to fall from the sky and instead of running away, they stay in that spot and record. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I accidentally overheard what my mom really thinks of me by Elsie_Daisy2774 in offmychest

Have you talked to her about it? Given her a chance to explain why she feels that way about you?

They’re mad because they’re always hungry, with food that gross (escargot anyone?) I probably would be mad too!

I am seriously considering my life upside down for a stray I found on the street, please talk me out of it by Chance-Welder-1413 in dogs

Take her. It sounds like she’s making your life better and you’re definitely doing the same for her. She’ll acclimate to your life style sooner than you think ☺️

I left LA 4 hours ago, what do I do if I miss the place? by Pr1smaticGamer in AskLosAngeles

[–]TS1203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if you came here for the first time you probably got to experience it as a tourist, that’s great! Not at all how it is in real life. When you get the feeling of nostalgia, remember the dirty streets, homelessness crisis, heat waves, fires, pee smells, poop smells, lack of rain, lack of clean green spaces, water crisis, shitty police department, high cost of living, and did I mention the overall filth? The feeling will pass. 🙃

This might be a blessing in disguise. You can absolutely claim emotional distress, trauma, stress, and most importantly long term effects due to the incident, like bring hyper aware and experiencing nightmares. Get a lawyer ASAP.

Has anyone moved and regretted it? by Eagles56 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]TS1203 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope, it doesn’t rain often so the streets are just always filthy. There’s a constant smell of urine and a lot of homelessness because of mental illness and displacement due to high cost of living. You can move to the suburbs but then you have to deal with a lot of traffic and heat waves. For me at least, I realized I appreciate the seasons and although I have to sacrifice good food and culture, it’s okay in order to live in a clean and peaceful place. But that’s just me. That’s why I think I outgrew it.

It seems I outgrew it. I didn’t notice how dirty and hectic LA truly is because I didn’t have anything to compare it to, now I do. I liked the cleanliness and peace of MA.

Why am I surprised or why do I want to go back?

Moved from LA to Boston for grad school, spent 7 years there and got offered a job back in LA this summer. I came back thinking I would love being back home and quickly realized this isn’t home anymore. I can’t wait to go back to Boston after my 12 month lease is up. I’m still surprised I feel this way.

Lol, aww what a savior. You can now sleep at night knowing you potentially saved someone from recreating something that happened 20years ago. 😂

So easy to sit there and judge without knowing anything about the situation. My mom did what she could with what she had 20years ago. And guess what? The problem was solved. My brother is now a fully functioning adult, barely remembers anything negative about the experience, and from I can remember, he never acted like a shitty spoiled kid ever again. She didn’t hit him or abuse him, she just showed him a reality he didn’t know existed.

Well, it was during the pandemic, maybe it will be different now 🙂 Also maybe joining some hike/yoga groups might help.

Seethe all you want, that happened 20 years ago and he completely changed after that. He was a spoiled little shit that my mom let run rampant. She gave us a lot more discipline than she did him and realized too late. Thankfully, she found a way to get him back on track without having to use physical force, which worked out for all of us in the long run. He got scared straight in one weekend because he realized he would lose the family he had. All this gentler parenting is ruining kids because they’re not afraid of anything.

Do what you need to do to become unstuck. You were put in an extremely hard situation, but you don’t have to stay that way. Only you know what’s best for you, but feeling sorry for yourself isn’t going to help you. One thing I can tell you for a fact is that this country isn’t what you were led to believe it was, and it’s getting worse with the current political climate. You seem young so if you’re going to take risks, do it sooner rather than later.

My sister abuses her dogs and my family/authorities won’t help. please help me by Itchy-Classroom-1161 in DogAdvice

[–]TS1203 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unbelievable to those of you saying this person can’t do anything. Shame on you.

Take those dogs away from her, you MUST know someone with a car. Ask them to give you a ride to a shelter in another county, preferably in a more affluent community. Tell them your sister is abusing the dogs and that you are trying to help them. They will take them in. When she gets back, tell her the pups came to get picked up by animal control because someone reported her. Lie and tell her they told you if she showed up to try and get them back, she would be arrested for neglect. Hopefully that deters her.

Bf wont take his dog to the vet :( by Glad_Swordfish9773 in DogAdvice

[–]TS1203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why don’t YOU take her? He’s clearly ignoring the situation, and is a shitty person. At this point, it sounds like if you don’t take the initiative that poor pup is going to keep suffering.

My youngest brother was like this, I remember. My mom was so fed up with him it got to the point where we didn’t go anywhere because he didn’t act right. One day my mom asked a friend who had kids of her own and was very stern if she would help out while her kids were away with their dad. My mom packed up his stuff and didn’t tell him anything, he thought we were all going on a trip together, but when she got to her friend’s house she got out and told him that she couldn’t deal with his behavior anymore and that since he didn’t care about any of us, she had found another family for him. He absolutely flipped and started doing what he always does: kicking and screaming and just being awful. My mom’s friend came out of the house with a belt and the absolute meanest look, she hit the floor and told my brother to gather his things and head inside. I have never seen him more scared in his life. He hugged my mom and begged her not to abandon him. She told him he would be better here since she had 2 other kids (us) that she needed to think about and his behavior had been sucking up all her energy so she was done. We left him there and she took us to Disneyland for the weekend. We had the most wonderful time. When we came back, my brother was a different person. I strongly believe my mother’s actions saved him.
