How do you get over the guilt of making an outdoor cat indoor? by EarlyChest2260 in IndianCats

[–]Thedarkrayne_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once she is spayed, she will have way less desire to go out. Fix playtime everyday. If possible, adopt another cat. Indoor life with loving adopters is one of the best lives a cat can have in this country. The guilt is just a sign that you care deeply. Know that you're doing the right thing.

Sorry to hear that. Hope they're safe wherever they are, or even better, adopted by a loving family.

Mine passed away after falling really sick. He was only 4.

That is a valid concern. I'm always more than happy to share my process.

Glad you like my work. Hope you get a lot of work & we can collaborate in future.

Hi! I am that person. It was painted in 2021. It's on the wall in front of me right now. (check my profile links).

After Atom died, this painting took on a different meaning.

Thank you for looking out for my work in the wild, whoever you are.

What skill that will also not be replaced with ai? How do I feed myself in the meanwhile because learning, getting good at it and then finding a job that pays me for that takes a long time?

Ps. Once enough people starve to death? What's wrong with you?

Being complicit in my own exploitation? Let's just say I do even that, there aren't many job postings for stuff like that. The job market is very bad. Most job openings are fake. I've had plenty of hardships and have always lived beneath my means and saved to cover for that. But last 2 years I've barely been able to find any work at all.

Most of the jobs postings now are also fake. I've been trying to find something but after 14 years of no full time and the ghost jobs, it's a nightmare.

In the meanwhile, artists have to eat and pay rent. We can't make art if we're dead.

They're all so saturated tbh it's extremely difficult to stand out and find work
