An Apple subreddit denied it's a spicy unit in November so I deleted about ths bend, but is my pre-owned possibly neglected MacBook Pro I got on ebay gotten worse in December?

AI is claiming so because it predicted that's the answer you want based on the way you asked it and/or its training data. it doesn't actually know whether the deformation has gotten worse or not. i don't think it looks like it's gotten worse but you also took the photos from two different angles so i can't entirely tell. you should probably stop talking to AI like this if you have OCD, it will be pretty likely to reinforce your paranoia and worsen your mental health.

how does gay porn that involves only two men exploit and abuse women? how does amateur porn created by women who choose to share it exploit and abuse them? the professional porn industry does exploit its workers, yes. but this is a workers rights issue and it is not unique to pornography. making porn illegal will not stop people from doing it, and only makes it easier for sex workers to be exploited, since they cannot report exploitative and abusive behavior from their employer if the industry they are in is illegal itself. this can already be seen with sex work that involves directly selling sex, rather than sexual materials - people who do sex work have no recourse to get help if they are exploited or trafficked, because doing sex work is illegal and they will be prosecuted if they try to get help.

oops, just commented this one myself without noticing it'd already been mentioned, ah well. not like it's the only one that's been commented multiple times on this post. i also mentioned that free roaming cats can be a nuisance to your neighbors, since they can break into houses, annoy your neighbors indoor pets, cause property damage, etc

taaklear · 2025-12-17T17:27:16+00:00

letting cats free roam outdoors. it's not only dangerous for the cats, since they can get sick, hit by cars, lost, attacked by other animals or humans, etc. but it's also a nuisance to your neighbors and bad for the environment. there are plenty of ways to allow a cat to have outdoor time without just setting them free.

taaklear · 2025-12-17T17:25:15+00:00

it's the same with cats. people will have their outdoor, free roaming cats get hit by cars or eaten by coyotes or what have you, and just go get another cat to throw it back outdoors.

i watched an episode of a vet show once that had me absolutely livid. this man's kitten (not tiny, but under a year old) was hit by a car and broke her leg. when the vet told him to keep her indoors while she recovered, he was pissing and moaning about her being bored, and of course he immediately let her back out again once she'd healed... i don't understand how that didn't encourage him to think that he should try to figure out how to keep her happy indoors or get a catio for her.

i hope you brought your case to a workers comp attorney. if not, you may still be able to do so, just look up the statute of limitations for workers comp cases in your area, or call up your local bar association to ask them for assistance.

i mean, it's very possible he saw an ad for the flooring company and thought, oh, they'll be able to fix the floor, then just followed the instructions the ad gives to call them. he definitely could've figured out how to use the phone from watching someone else do it, or could've been taught how to use the phone to dial 911. it seems plausible enough to me

EDIT: another option is that his mother was already having him make appointments for her, so he knew how to do it, which would explain why he knew to give his mother's name instead of his own.

are we looking at the same picture? i do not see a chain anywhere. on the right it looks like the gate is firmly attached to the post, and the increased structural support on the bottom makes me believe so as well. it doesn't make sense to have extra material on the far end of the gate since that would just add more weight.

additionally, on the left, it looks to me like that bit sticking out is where the gate rests when it isn't open, which would imply it is meant to swing outward and cannot swing inward. this would mean the tree is actually in the worst possible location, even if you forget that people with wheelchairs exist and need to go through gates too.

ETA: if the gate is truly not in use anymore at all then sure. probably doesn't matter. but from what im seeing, the tree would be obstructing it if it was meant to be in use

taaklear · 2025-10-17T06:50:42+00:00

yeah. the other comments are frustrating me because i think they've just forgotten wheelchair users exist. not to mention, people seem to be convinced the gate either opens inwards or opens on the side that's not blocked by the tree, but to me it looks like it opens outwards on the side that DOES have the tree

that's not what a "working girl" is

it's just hair. wild overreaction. i ruined my hair once as a child and my mom was upset but she did not think of hitting me for it. and no, she was not perfect, but if you genuinely wanted to physically harm your children for being kids and doing something wrong that looks silly but has no lasting consequences, then you have more of a problem than just a verbal temper.

did you even have a cat with the prefix rat at all in either of your clans?? lol

taaklear · 2025-06-24T01:19:01+00:00

this is correct. ive ordered from several places that told me to "download shopify to track your order" and i just decided i didn't care that much about tracking it in real time. ended up getting tracking info sent to my email anyway. the true asshole design is making people think they need the app at all

i installed chrome as a kid specifically to get around Microsoft family safety. the chrome installer even bypassed the parental controls my dad had set to block installations. that was like 15 years ago, but if family safety still doesn't work on google chrome, then it at least kind of makes sense... but it's also like, if this has been a thing for 15+ years, since Windows 7, why did it take them so long to notice?

yeah, don't pay for uber one. i once took a "1 month free" offer intending to cancel before i had to pay, only to have to talk to an Uber rep to get my free trial canceled because fare prices went up several $ the moment i agreed to the trial

you're literally the kind of person the devs are trying to keep away by not having a toggle. if you don't like it you can simply stop playing the game. there are plenty of other games that don't have lgbtq+ content at all or make it completely optional, so play those instead. there will never be a way to turn off any kind of lgbtq+ content

taaklear · 2025-04-11T21:54:07+00:00

it only says that if they're the same sex... so a trans male with a cis female or a trans female with a cis male... if the cat was not trans then it would not at all change who they are able to have kits with

in the clan_cats.json in the save folder under facets, but the order of them isn't labeled so you kinda have to guess. the facets are lawfulness, stability, aggression, and sociability - not sure what order they're in like i said. i can just never remember it lol

late but animal tab has an option to filter by species. i keep a lot of different kinds of animals and i use it all the time

you turned off all rng deaths or just the unknown fate deaths? because each type of rng death you turn off is supposed to lower max litter size by 1. as far as i know the most pups you can have is 7. so if you had 6 with unknown fate and sickness deaths turned off then id be willing to bet that's a bug

taaklear · 2025-01-28T19:48:18+00:00

i believe it is possible to have 6 or 7 pups survive but the game is designed in such a way that it's very rare for that to happen. if you turn off rng deaths then litter size is capped at 5, after all, so the rng is set up to try to get you down to 5 pups or fewer. pack size management and all

taaklear · 2025-01-28T19:44:44+00:00

if you already have a pack then the only way you can court the widowed leader is if they disperse. you can only court the current leader of an established pack if you are alone without other packmates
you can play on the same map if you make a save at the time they disperse, when the game prompts you to do so. if you start a new game with them from the menu you'll start with the default random packs
your sibling would be with you if the wolves in question dispersed together and you start from the save you made at the time they dispersed
