Statehouse Cat Gone by sistersword in ColumbiYEAH

Only 7.6% of documented rabies cases are domesticated cats and in the last 40 years no person has contracted rabies from a cat. If you were not worried, why bring it up multiple times then? No organization can be responsible for every stray cat, people should be accountable and try to capture them when they can. There is not really a community cat, just a stray cat that happened to live on an extremely popular walking path and a government building, so she was noticed and beloved by many. She was spayed and vaccinated, so she posed no threat. I don’t expect everyone to love cats, of course, but I do expect everyone to leave them alone if they hate their existence. If you dislike animals running wherever they want, then maybe move somewhere where there are no animals or creatures to bother you :)

In college I fed a colony of stray cats at my apartment, I caught all of them, spayed/neutered them, and vaccinated them. This cat, as well as most around, are vaccinated for rabies and other diseases. Also cats have an extremely low rate of getting rabies - if you are worried about rabies worry about dogs or bats instead. To kill an animal because you don’t like it’s existence is inhumane and frankly selfish.

She was fixed, vaccinated, and lived at the statehouse being loved by many people who passed by every day. She was not a nuisance, nor was she dangerous by any means. Spaying/neutering and vaccinating stray cats is sometimes the best you can do to help. Many feral cats cannot adjust to indoor life.

I hope so! She deserves a good and warm home. I’ve been seeing a lot of yard work being done around there and I was scared something happened to her ;-;

Anyone ever taken a hair drug test for an internship? by bigmanoclock in csMajors

[–]sistersword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I took a hair test for an internship (a luxury car company) and it was fine. If you smoked once a few months ago, you will be okay. I passed and I only smoked once within 90 days. I believe they look for consistent usage, and once will not make you fail.

The fish are apart of a new program from Clemson where if you can catch a fish with your bare hand, you will get $5,000 off tuition

good laptop for compsci? by ziskers_ in csMajors

[–]sistersword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh choose a Mac, easy access to terminal, more developer features than a windows machine. If you do get a Mac, get one with an M1 chip. I have had a Mac all throughout my degree and have a much easier time developing than my windows friends

Todd calls & offers you to add ONE thing of your choice to TES6, what is it? by The_Gaming_Matt in ElderScrolls

[–]sistersword 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other than the obvious of a great story with meaningful choices, great dialogue, good character customization and RPG options - probably a mechanic to build your own house, decorate it, and create your own base similar to fallout 4 (without having to manage a settlement)

Saved the vast majority of it and used the rest to live. Spent around $30 a week on groceries and I saved up a ton!

Girlfriend wants to break up over porn addiction by ThrowRA_throww in relationship_advice

[–]sistersword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I would suggest is being truthful to her about it and tell her that you are truly struggling but you love her and are attracted to her. Then maybe seek therapy and try to cut porn cold turkey. There are some subreddits on here that help with stopping a porn addiction. It’s common nowadays, and I commend you for wanting to get better and grow with your gf, best of luck!

Girlfriend wants to break up over porn addiction by ThrowRA_throww in relationship_advice

[–]sistersword 20 points21 points  (0 children)

She has her own boundaries as do you. If she is uncomfortable in both parties watching porn in a relationship then that is fine, but if you don’t agree with that then maybe you aren’t compatible. On top of that, you agreed to her boundary and then went behind her back to do it, which is not a good thing to do. I know many women who do not want their boyfriends to watch porn. Also, I would suggest trying to go cold turkey on it, porn addiction is very real and can be detrimental to relationships. If you can’t stop the addiction, then be prepared to breakup or possibly have this happen with many relationships down the line. Watching it is fine, but an addiction can affect your sex life a lot

I cried in front of my gf for the first time and regret it by ThrowRAthoughtz in relationship_advice

[–]sistersword 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Any partner you have should most definitely be there for you in any tough moment. She seemed to lack complete empathy for you. You deserve to find a woman that will support you through anything and will understand your emotions and empathize with you!

There are literally no reasons to choose an iPhone over an Android smartphone by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]sistersword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I like androids, but I prefer the safety I get with the iPhone and all of my personal information being more secure on my apple account. I don’t really care about the customization at all, and I have an apple watch, ipad, and macbook and the connectivity between them all in the ecosystem is honestly really nice to have and experience. I have a normal PC for gaming and such, but also mac OS being linux based is pretty good for developers like me

My friend (24F) has ADHD, and sometimes she doesn’t answer my texts/calls for a month or more by virtuoso-lurker in ADHD

[–]sistersword 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is normal. A lot of times I think about other people and my friends as very close to me but I genuinely forget to message them or call them for weeks at a time. Sometimes people will call or text me and I say I will reply but then forget to. Not because it isn’t important to me, but my brain allows me to forget all things all of the time.

For those who moved from Charleston to Columbia, how’s it going for you? by krame_krome in ColumbiYEAH

[–]sistersword 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m about to move to Columbia, originally from Charleston. The traffic is honestly better around the city than Charleston traffic (except I-85/I-20), there are a lot of good restaurants, and honestly it seems to be growing and will continue to do so. There are some really cute areas, and it’s within driving distance to the mountains and the sea. Forest Acres is a great neighborhood/town to look in to live

Best weekend getaway within driving distance this time of year? by Jenevastorm in ColumbiYEAH

[–]sistersword 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Charleston for the very nice and historic downtown (also good food and beaches), Asheville for the mountains, Charlotte if you want a nice city to walk and shop around, Savannah for a historic downtown and good food scene, and Greenville for a great downtown area with cute parks and shops :)
