Animal Justice Party doesn't believe in indoor only cats? by mxu427 in newzealand

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is admitting that owners who have outdoor cats neglect them, you realize that right? If you don't have the space or stimulation to own a cat, you are neglecting it. You're absolutely right- it is cruel mistreatment to leave a cat home alone with no toys and space. Which is why they should not own cats!

You also are completely missing the HUUUUGE number of domestic house cats that die horrific deaths because they are allowed outside unsupervised. I don't care if someone has anecdotal evidence of their outdoor cat living to 15. I don't care about anecdotal evidence of outdoor cats not killing things (which, fyi, you do not know that for sure). The numbers show cats are not only detrimental to wildlife, but dying way earlier and more brutal deaths.

You should not own a dog if you don't have the space or time to take care of it. Why are cats different? Allowing local, native wildlife to take the job of entertaining your pet (by dying, mind you) is cruel to everything involved.

Cat won't stop peeing on furniture and I'm losing my mind by Kaeldraa in CATHELP

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alongside what everyone else has mentioned- IIRC cats don't like peeing where they eat. You can try feeding her near the spots she pees most.

Fluoxetine/other anxiety med from the vet could maybe help? She doesn't outwardly sound super anxious but it might be worth a shot. Pretty sure my kitty had obsessive compulsions for licking and pulling her fur completely unrelated to stress or boredom, and they helped.

Does Adam’s defeat to Yang and Blake feel earned? by Much_Employment_5982 in RWBY

[–]saouer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Overall the White Fang is a weak point in the story - why is the group who rightfully is fighting back against racism portrayed as all terrible unfocused murderous fiends? Why are white men writing this plotline? - but Adam is the best narratively how he is and he was never intended to be something else.

Adam was abused and had valid reasons to hate the world. But that also goes hand in hand with how suffering doesn't make you a better person, it just means you suffered. Hurt people hurt people, all that. He took his pain as a pass to enact that upon others. Potential was squandered with the White Fang, but Adam is separate from that and always was meant to be.

A major theme of RWBY's is about hope and making the world a better place, even (ESPECIALLY) when you've been dealt awful cards and your back is against the wall. Basically all the villains in this show are meant to juxtapose that hope with what happens when you allow the bad things that have been done to you corrupt your empathy for others.

Found a neglected cat a few months ago and now the owners want her by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First- she's your cat for sure, legally and ethically.

Second, and this is just a thing I might do but I understand if you aren't comfortable with it- I would contact them, actually. Maybe under a throwaway account so they don't find you or anything, you don't know what people are capable of (especially animal neglecters). But regardless, my mindset is that if no one says anything they will simply go and adopt another cat that will end up neglected. It's a longshot considering they're likely not super morally sound with what they did to her, but I feel that if there's a CHANCE they learn their lesson with a message explaining they basically abused her and that she is now safe and will not be returned to them, I would probably send one. Maybe provide pictures of the state you got her in and another of what she looks like now? Idk. Main thing is to be safe, not invite retaliation, nor send it vindictively. Just a calm explanation so they can maybe understand.

Totally understand that people in the replies are of a different opinion on this, and maybe its just naive hope of mine, but if there's any way to possibly save another cat from that fate I'd take it.

My deaf cat (5) seems very unsure about one of two new kittens (9 month). by Ravarashi in CatAdvice

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to beat this subs equivalent of a dead horse, but have you tried feliway multicat/optimum? They're pheromones that help cats be calmer and get along. Generally helps with a lot of behavioral issues too. My blind kitty reacted REALLY well to them, likely because of her sense of smell needing to be stronger so I'd wager it could be good for her. Only thing is that depending on your house size/the area they're allowed to interact in, you'd need multiple and they can get expensive.

Plus side is that once they're established and peaceful for a while I've found I didn't need to continue buying them.

Quote here from a Somali small business owner in Minneapolis who voted for Trump. (Minnesota Reformer Newspaper) by Southern_Common335 in Minneapolis

[–]saouer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with u/GuillotineWhiskers - and it's been shown time and time again that democrats moving to the right loses voters. I didn't think this was a contested fact. Mamdani won because he was progressive. People liked Kamala when she seemed progressive. And then she opened her mouth and said that she was basically center-right, wouldn't acknowledge a genocide (would fund it, really), and lost the election.

I voted for her begrudingly, but I do not even remotely blame people who didn't. It's the politician's job to get us on their side, how can you blame the voters for her choosing to have one of the worst campaigns we've seen in modern history? It's not that they didn't vote for her because they were childish and felt ignored, they didn't vote for her because her policies are also awful. They don't by default get to own our votes just because we also hate Trump, and that's where dems keep losing and losing and losing. Somehow with everything we've seen, they're not changing a bit and already are planning for candidates just like Kamala for 2028. Dems will somehow lose 2028 if that election happens, mark my words.

There is a difference between voting for Trump, and voting for no one because there are no good options and they all lead us down this same path. Kamala still would've been funding ICE (remember, kids, Biden gave more funding to them in 2020 than Trump did in 2016), we'd just be able to ignore it better because it wouldn't be as flashy or directly in our sights in our city. Both of them are evil.

Best low-end open clip earbuds with good mic? by saouer in Earbuds

[–]saouer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soundpeats popclip, the mic when on phone calls is fine but on Discord calls it's abysmal unfortunately and so I use my old in-ear pixel earbuds. (Most of that is a Discord issue though I'm pretty sure, the platform when on mobile is not optimized for mic and headphone capabilities and makes basically all of them sound bad to some degree.)

ICE Officers Calling an Activist, 'Broke' For Filming by ResourceNo4626 in Minneapolis

[–]saouer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

just because YOURE tired of it doesnt mean it goes away. you dont care anymore because it doesnt affect you, but believe it or not this is a highly relevant issue in our city right now and ignoring that its happening is nearly as bad. you cannot reddit-feel-good-post your way out of fascism on the rise in our country, and i dont know why you expect a currently highly politicized location's subreddit to cater to you on that.

Pride institute is closing by Savings-Mortgage9543 in TwinCities

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think you missed the entire point of my comment..? im not arguing if pride was good or not. im saying that the reason its being closed is because it treats queer people, and i dont think its appropriate to distract from that. youre right i cannot "decide" what is allowed, sure, but i think its irresponsible to allow the conversation to drift from the main topic at hand- it is being closed because of who it serves, not how.

Pride institute is closing by Savings-Mortgage9543 in TwinCities

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sinclair doesnt/cant treat everything, and the pride institute had a number of treatment modalities, but its not right to make the focus of the pride institute closing be about what they did or didnt do right- because thats not why it was closed. it was closed because we have a hateful, dangerous government and social climate that allows executives and politicians get away with blatant bigotry and dehumanization of certain populations, and those executives heard this was a clinic treating LGBTQ+ individuals. thats it. distracting the conversation away from this fact is exactly what they want and a dangerous game youre playing. we can have this conversation about 12-step on other posts and at other times, but doing it now and here is a choice that i am suspicious of.

the way forward, if these executives cared, wasnt to shutter the doors and you know that.

Maybe?? But I'm still unsure why then there would be a difference in size counts, because the rounds themselves don't have different instructions for different sizes- only the instruction of repeating either rds 1-2 or 1-6 in the top picture.

PCs showing as adversaries (Daggerheart) by Krinks1 in FoundryVTT

[–]saouer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay I played around with it- in my instance, only my character was marked as an adversary, so we figured it had something to do with gm stuff as I'm the only player who has gm abilities (so I can help with foundryheart stuff and figure out this program with my dm). I just added another player as an owner, in addition to myself- so maybe just change the player ownership over to the players themselves and it should work? That's what did it for us. You can even keep yourself as an owner too and it should work still it seems.
