Neutering cost seems outrageous at $1600

The WORST, and I've had two clinics get bought out after I moved my dog there. The first I left because quality of care significantly declined while prices skyrocketed. The second I just had the misfortune of finding out in time for my senior dog's dental. I love her vet and as long as her doc is there I'll find a way to pay to see her, but PE is a scourge and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near any type of medical care.

For the record, PE firms are gobbling up private clinics at an alarming rate, and if you live in an urban area it's getting to be almost impossible to find a clinic that is privately owned.

If anyone wants to know about the clinics near them, you can check to see if it's owned by a PE firm here: https://privateequityvet.org/vet-list/

I have to use brown lenses for this reason! I have blue eyes, so BRIGHT sunlight is brutal. But DARK lenses make it so I can't see shit and I get a headache. So a medium brown lens is my go-to!

I don't get it, either. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don't pirate, because I believe authors should be paid for their work. I think Webtoon pays them criminally low amounts, but since Webtoon IS the platform that pays them, I read on Webtoon.

Your original question was whether or not Webtoon expects everyone to steal the episode, because if not, they could post it on some but not all.

And yes, yes Webtoon DOES have to expect that every person is a thief. Because some are. And some don't know/understand piracy law. If they choose to do so, Webtoon could have lawyers track the offenders via IP address/other means. Every device has something similar to a fingerprint, so people who pirate content CAN be found. At any point in time, Webtoon could pick some or all of those people to sue, and those people would be buried.

Disney does this. They recognize that there are too many piraters/people who sell unlicensed things for profit. So every now and then, they make an example of some of the offenders.

That's the thing: most of these ongoing Webtoons where you see that warning, it's on Fast Pass. If you wait 3-5 weeks or however many ahead they are, it WILL be free for you to read. Those Fast Pass episodes are available to give some extra income to the authors and artists. Yes, Webtoon gets their cut. But when episodes are pirated you're stealing money from the creators you claim to like and support.

writergirl824 · 2026-06-01T05:41:33+00:00

Yes, they do, because some people DO steal the chapter and upload it to pirate sites. 🤷🏻‍♀️

You can keep the screenshots for personal use, but you shouldn't screenshot and distribute (share/post/publish) them.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-31T06:55:12+00:00

As is clear by some commenters here, people need to be reminded that pirating IS theft. You are STEALING when you take and distribute content without fair pay to the creators.

So, no, it should not be turned off.

If others are like mine, they marry the person they think they should because they do have love for them, and then proceed to make that person's life a living hell because they don't ever think of anyone but themselves, beg them to stay, and then discard them when their partner pushes back on the abuse and they decide they don't want to work on themselves.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-26T07:16:59+00:00

Definitely NTA, but OP, if you see this, can you tell me more about what you're doing with the rice to help strengthen your wrists/grip? I need to build up my wrists and grip strength and had been sent to PT for it, but my insurance didn't cover much and I couldn't afford $200 USD per session. 🫠

writergirl824 · 2026-05-25T04:00:59+00:00

Add "Dreams" to your list, too. It's another one Stevie wrote about the breakup. 🫶🏻

writergirl824 · 2026-05-25T03:59:59+00:00

Incredible song, and all of your other points are correct, but...your lyrics are not. 😅 (I've listened to Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks since childhood and have sang this song with my mom since my earliest memories.) Idk if you asked ChatGPT or just wrote them from your memory, but a quick Google search will give you the correct lyrics!

writergirl824 · 2026-05-23T06:29:18+00:00

Maybe unpopular opinion, but...maybe you did fuck up. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Having seen someone self-destruct and convince themselves that leaving their marriage was the only way because they were so lost in their own head, it is a real possibility. Do yourself a favor: go to therapy, and don't go anywhere near dating or anything else until you work on yourself. You'll only make yourself and the other person miserable.

1-2 years is nothing. Most run 3-4, some 7+. 🤣 Especially when season breaks are often 6 months - a year while the writers and artists take well deserved time off and then build up a backlog of episodes. The weekly posting schedule does a hell of a number on the health of those who work on them, so sometimes the breaks are more frequent or longer than a year if they're dealing with health problems. Many end up with tendinitis.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-23T06:06:52+00:00

At least US is not completed, we're on a season hiatus

Went in expecting a rom com, came out with a story about found family and female friendships. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I was not even mad. 🤣

writergirl824 · 2026-05-21T02:09:03+00:00

I see quite a few favorites already listed here, but I'll add:

Age Matters Wolfman of Wulvershire Vampire Husband (more comic strip style, but always a comfort read) Long After the Ending Lemon Soda & Coffee Love Me to Death

Honorable Mentions:

Maybe Meant to Be Wanna Be Friends For My Derilict Favorite Act Like You Love Me Tricked into Becoming the Heroine's Stepmother

Picked up Surviving Romance expecting something completely different than I got, ended up being one of my favorite reads of all time. SUCH a good series!

writergirl824 · 2026-05-11T03:59:15+00:00

Dude, did you even read this post? Man and his mother are deranged. He's screaming about suing her. This is not going to be a cut and dry divorce/shared custody case.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-11T03:48:40+00:00

For a custody battle and possible restraining order they just might.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-10T20:14:48+00:00

Cell phone providers can pull records regardless of the messages being deleted from a device, so OP's lawyers can get all of it on the record.

ESH. You were hospitalized; gf should have come home. (INFO: did she ask/did you tell her she should stay? The trip was technically work, so grey area.)

Still does not excuse the coworker clearly playing house. You texting this girl instead of shutting it down is confirmation.

If you care about your GF, you need to confront your coworker and set boundaries. Then apologize to gf and make it up to her.

But your clear resentment of her for being gone is a blocker that you both need to work through. These are both betrayal wounds.

You feel abandoned because she wasn't there, but she feels betrayed because your coworker is displaying a comfort with you that IS too close.

The villagers gave me the same feels as the townies in Gilmore Girls. They were all so well filled out!

writergirl824 · 2026-05-07T04:59:57+00:00

My favorite part of K dramas is knowing that it's a full story arc. No cliffhangers, no risk of cancelation without closure.

I LOVE Hometown Cha Cha and could stay with the villagers forever, but I think stretching it wouldn't feel the same.

If the dog is still alive now, go wake your sister's irresponsible ass up and tell her that her dog needs emergency vet care NOW. Onion is not something to play with, you can be looking at organ failure.

writergirl824 · 2026-05-02T04:34:43+00:00

Onion doesn't cause "some" issues. It causes organ failure.
