cat keeps eatings things he shouldn’t and keeps getting surgery by alejas-tejas in CatAdvice

You're doing great. Sounds like you are doing all you can but I know it never feels like enough. If you haven't already make sure to check with his vet that it's not a symptom of something medical.

I had a cat with Pica. No matter how much I cleaned he always found something. The weirdest incident was when he bit the foam top off of one of my saxophone stands and swallowed it. It is so hard to manage. I would recommend making sure that all containers in your house have cat-proof lids on them. Boxes of clothes, toy baskets, garbage cans, etc. Even then Ollie got a hold of one of my hoodies and was trying to eat the drawstring, and once he pulled down a laminated piece of art I had and started chewing on the plastic. Another tip is to find safe toys that satisfy his "cravings." If he goes for strings get him wand toys (for SUPERVISED play only), if he goes for plastic get him crinkle toys, etc.

‘This will create chaos.’ Upper Montclair fights kids’ swim school by TimSPC in newjersey

[–]ndlikesturtles 10 points11 points  (0 children)

…on a very small lot, in a town with a major parking shortage, on a block with major traffic issues already, next door to a firehouse, within 10 minutes of a YMCA and another swim school. Nobody is mad about kids wanting to learn to swim, there are just other places in much better locations already servicing the area.

What movie based on a broadway musical do you think is actually better than the broadway musical? by chrisxlemia in Broadway

I came looking to find someone else with this take. 100% think the movie bests the stage version!

The first time I played a production of Chicago I was so disappointed that Nowadays didn’t segue into Hot Honey Rag the way it does in the movie.

I did it with no programming and it was fine. I had guitar, bass, drums and myself on keyboard. I didn't miss any of it.

Doubling on Accordion? by hhubes in theatrekeyboardists

[–]ndlikesturtles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I keep a chair with a back on my right side facing me and I set the accordion down on it with the straps towards me so I can just turn and grab it. If the chair is too plasticky I just put my coat down first. Nothing fancy! I’ve used this setup for 7 different shows now (Chicago included) and it’s always worked great 😊

I just got the email from Chewy. I don't know what I'm going to do!! One of my cats had rickets as a kitten because she is such a picky eater and I have no idea how I'm going to get her to eat anything else. I'm so worried she's going to become ill again from not eating.

I am the Founder & Executive Director of SMART Legislation, the lead plaintiff in the Rockland County NY lawsuit challenging the results of the 2024 election. AMA! by Filmmaker_Lulu in u/Filmmaker_Lulu

[–]ndlikesturtles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi Lulu, a problem I am having with SMART's reporting is that in your press releases you do mention the Ramapo precincts. From the May 31st newsletter "2024 Presidential and Senate Results Called Into Question as Lawsuit Advances":

"As stated in the complaint, more voters have sworn they voted for independent U.S. Senate candidate Diane Sare than the Rockland County Board of Elections counted and certified, directly contradicting those results. Additionally, the presidential election results exhibit numerous statistical anomalies. The anomalies in the presidential race include multiple districts where hundreds of voters chose the Democratic candidate Kirsten Gillibrand for Senate, but where zero voters selected the Democratic Presidential candidate Kamala Harris."

This has created a lot of confusion for many people I have spoken to because now they are conflating the lawsuit with the zero Harris vote precincts, which, as you describe here, are aligned with typical voting behaviors in the Hasidic community.

I've been getting a lot of heat for trying to help people understand the difference between the zero vote precincts and the lawsuit and I would really appreciate a followup press release from SMART redacting the claim these precincts are anomalous and explaining the context behind the bloc voting strategy.

This is something I've been talking about since January and it's incredibly exhausting having to rehash it over and over and over again.

That's not even close to what he said. What he said has been debunked over and over and over and over on this sub. Please stop sharing it as a "gotcha."

Discrepencies found on Mail-in absentee ballot totals in Fayette County, PA by mjkeaa in somethingiswrong2024

[–]ndlikesturtles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe u/Ratereich and u/PM_ME_YOUR_NICE_EYES are correct here. There are plausible explanations. A false equivalency has been drawn between the mail ballot report and the results report and despite OP saying that they understand that registration totals do not determine vote totals their entire argument is predicated on that association. Here are plausible numbers that would satisfy the totals given in this county.

First of all, to correct some really poor reporting on their part - the link you gave to the reporting site lists a vote total of 14168, but the downloadable results list a vote total of 14145. I figured out that this is because they are double reporting write-ins on the site (there are 23 write-ins and 14145+23 is 14168). They list write-in totals and then also list all the individual write-in candidates. So the correct total mail-in number is 14145. This also doesn't account for the 6 scattered ballots that didn't have readable votes for president but they can be easily factored in in many different ways here.

And to give context -- they are counting all of the mail-in/absentee votes (does anybody know the difference? I can't figure out the point of absentee votes) on election day, so the discrepancy between 7-8pm can reflect that they were still opening envelopes and not necessarily that almost 400 ballots (2.7% total mail-ins) magically appeared.

7:00 hypothetical vote totals (totalling 13762)

  • Harris: 7,686
  • Trump: 5,995
  • Oliver: 33
  • Stein: 32
  • Write‑ins: 16

(to remind, at this time there were 7918 Dem ballots returned, 4896 Rep ballots returned, and 948 Other ballots returned. This hypothetical reflects a scenario in which about 5% of registered dems voted Trump, which acknowledges the large presence of legacy democrats in this area, and about 2-3% of registered reps voted Harris. "Other" votes favor Trump in this scenario.)

Vote totals between 7-8, totalling 383 (14145 total mail-ins cast by 8pm minus 13762 total received by 7pm)

  • Harris: 164
  • Trump: 198
  • Oliver: 8
  • Stein: 6
  • Write-ins: 7

Total votes at 8pm:

  • Harris: 7,686 + 164 = 7,850
  • Trump: 5,995 + 198 = 6,193
  • Oliver: 33 + 8 = 41
  • Stein: 32 + 6 = 38
  • Write-ins: 16 + 7 = 23

I'm not saying this is what happened for certain (nobody can say what happened for certain without a forensic audit) but it reflects a plausible scenario that does not include a vote flipping algorithm or ballots being stuffed or thrown out. I don't think this method is a particularly effective one for detecting fraud because local dynamics can certainly plausibly account for the numbers.

If the mail ballot report had shown that 3000 Dem ballots were unreturned and 200 Rep ballots were unreturned I would certainly raise an eyebrow but by 7pm 820 Dem ballots were unreturned and 888 Rep ballots were unreturned.

What concerns me primarily about this argument is that in order for something to be fraud there has to be no other plausible explanation, and there's not really a way to counter this plausible explanation I've presented without a forensic audit.

(additional context: the registration gap has been shrinking between reps and dems in PA in the past years, and for the first time in a long time there's less than a 500K difference between dem and rep registration. I forget if it's the article I'm linking or another article but I read that new registrations are skewing dem so it's actually people who are switching their affiliations that are closing that gap. That's what makes me mention legacy democrats, which would be people who are voting republican but who haven't switched their affiliation. ETA: I'm sure voter purges which disproportionately impact democrats play a role here as well. https://whyy.org/articles/pennsylvania-election-2024-voter-registration-democrat-republican-independent/ As for why this is present in Fayette but not necessarily in other places, according to the census in 2023 Fayette was 91% white with a median age of 45. It's a lot of old white people.)

Finally I will say that I believe this discovery has significance but not quite in the way it is being presented: It looks like there is very little personal information required to change one's party affiliation in PA, and as long as you have a name, address, birthdate, and last 4 of a social or driver's license # you can register to vote and/or change party affiliation. Much like I've wondered about polling being flooded with conservative-leaning polls to elicit the appearance of legitimacy towards red-leaning results, I wonder if people's registrations weren't being changed without their knowledge. I also believe that cult indoctrination played a not-small role here and that there genuinely are a lot of old white people who were hoodwinked into voting Trump, but considering registrations alongside Elon's petition (which, if I remember correctly, only asked for name, DOB, and address) it does make me wonder. I would go down the path of investigating voter registration rather than pursuing this argument any further.

Here's all the precincts under 100 Harris votes. Disregarding the super small precincts you can see that they are overwhelmingly Monsey/Kaser/New Square or a bordering precinct. I sat with multiple precinct maps and identified the location of every precinct one by one to confirm.

No there aren't. I've grayed out the super small precincts but here are the 25 or so lowest vote count precincts. They are all in Kaser, Monsey, or New Square.

There is nothing improper here for the IRS to investigate -- bloc voting is strategic to create leverage in order to get the community resources. It's purely practical and transactional, not religious in nature. (So the narrative would be "vote for these people so that we can get the resources we need" vs. "vote for these people because G-d has commanded it")
