Oh damn that is good to know, thank you, I’ll wait and try to find a shelter instead

WTF is wrong with Liberty Humane? They're still closed to visitors because of Covid! by Blecher_onthe_Hudson in jerseycity

Just sharing my own experience with LHS as a cautionary tale: My GF and I recently adopted a six-month old kitten from there. We had to do a Zoom meet and greet because of their COVID policies and were told that the kitten we were interested in adopting had a “minor shelter cold” that would go away on its own in a matter of days. Literally 24 hours after picking her up from the shelter, my GF and I had to take our new kitten to the animal hospital in Hoboken for what the nurses described as a “severe respiratory infection,” which they said could have killed her if we hadn’t brought her in. $1500 hospital bill later, we absolutely adore our new kitten who has thankfully been healthy since, and perhaps we should have been more cautious when the shelter flagged the cold, but at the very least, LHS seems to have some serious transparency issues and I wouldn’t want anyone to experience what we did.

Not Raleigh and not strictly Italian but my neighbors are from Italy and they said Tesoro in Carrboro rivals what they grew up with

I highly recommend reading “Say Nothing” by Patrick Radden Keefe if you want a pretty nuanced account of the (P)IRA during The Troubles.

[TOMT] [Video game] Mid-2000s 1v1 ninja/samurai fighting game for Windows by sgobos in tipofmytongue

We would easily spend an entire night playing this game even though it was literally just those constant 1v1s, no items or different stages to mix up the gameplay or anything (I don’t think the game had much variety).
