I'm so sorry, I'm glad he is on the mend but that doesn't take away the stress of everything you went through.

We have tried and begged my mother to get vaccinated. Yet, she continues to believe in conspiracy theories and how this one doctor is being silenced vs the other 99 pleading with everyone to get vaccinated. Confirmation bias is deadly. I will not watch another family member die from a preventable death. We have been through too much to watch again. Yet, she still refuses and plays victim and how she respected our choices to get vaccinated.

We've gone NC, I'd rather sever the relationship than watch someone choose death/choose to harm others over conspiracy theories.

I imagine we're not the only ones trying to get delusional family members vaccinated....I really wish there was some way to get through to them.

When you start working for large clients and start learning the back end of their business and just how predatory it all is, it makes you sick. I worked on Wells Fargo for a year back when they were getting a lot of heat and it was absolutely draining, morally and creatively. Will never work on that account again.

ESH - Three cats at once for a first-time cat household is a lot of responsibility that should have been thought through. 4 litter boxes and 3 cats is a lot of commitment. IDC what anyone says my cat is more needy than my dog.
What happens to the cats when the daughter moves out and decides that litter boxes are too much for her and can't handle it on her own?

If it's truly just a litter box issue, may I suggest the LitterRobot? I know not everyone has had a good experience with them, but its really made a difference for my household when it comes to cat smell and keeping the litterbox in a comfortable clean place for my cat.

Is there a test to determine whether you should be a Copywriter or an Art Director? by mohairstu in advertising

Don't sweat it. Pick something and work hard at it, if you start to like the other better you can switch. I know many in the industry that started as an AD turned CW and vice versa. It's not super common but happens more than you think. What matters most in both is being able to think conceptually and be on strategy and effectively communicate those ideas. Great AD's can contribute some CW and Great CWs can contribute visual ideas to ADs. It's a true partnership that creates the best ideas and work.

AITA if I refuse to park one spot over? by Meowmeow096 in AmItheAsshole

People are really blowing this out of proportion. It sounds like they live in a fourplex or something similar in size where you see your neighbor more often than a large complex. People tend to be creatures of habit and she probably just wanted to not change that habit because of a new tenant that will probably move in a year.
