My kitten/cat is pissing outside the litter box. Always in my mom's room, on her carpet, on her bathroom tile, on the kitchen rug. The vet checked her out, says health is fine, it must be behavorial. Tried more boxes, tried new litter, all the same. She'll piss and poo poo in the box sometimes and other times, no.

So she's to be kept in my room, but I can't close the door due to the fish tanks, and she can jump baby gates. I need to install a loving screen door on my bedroom doorway somehow.

If you've played a game for 220 hours you're not allowed to leave a negative review. gently caress off, that's absurd.

Youtube keeps recommending me some lovely meme playlist I guess? I'm not clicking on it to find out. Because it's a playlist and not a video I can't click the thing to say I'm not interested so it keeps showing up.

Honest question out of curiosity: why can't you close your door because of the fish tanks?

I leased a new car and I really like it and try to keep it clean but I don't have a garage so every day I have to clean bird poop and pollen off of it :(

Somewhat related is the fact that my next door neighbor thinks it's perfectly ok to walk down the property line with an industrial leafblower and blow all the pollen and leaves and poo poo directly onto my car. (not to mention it's her loving tree overhanging my driveway that causes the bird poop and 90% of the pollen).

It's possible. An old roommate would wash the dishes and they would invariably be left covered in a film of grease, which he claimed didn't bother him. :allbuttons:

I can mostly live without a dishwasher but it really hits home at dinner. I'm nice and full and satisfied, relaxing on the couch smoking a bowl, but now it's 10PM and there's a sink full of dishes and pots and if I don't clean them now they'll be even grosser and harder to clean tomorrow :(

I remember one time I visited some friends at their apartment and helped them cook dinner, just some quick pasta with homemade cheese sauce. Visited again a week later and.. the pot was still on the stove, untouched since I used it, now filled with fossilized/moldy pasta and sauce which nobody bothered to put in the fridge (they told me to just leave it, they'd take care of it). :gonk:

First girl I dated in high school was super-sadbrains and her bedroom was a graveyard of horrifying fuzzy coffee cups and empty bowls with fossilized milk remnants and the spoon rubber-cemented to the bowl. It got so bad that on more than one occasion I actually cleaned her room while she was out because I couldn't loving stand it

My roommate has a bad habit of "cleaning" stuff by squeezing a good tablespoon of dish soap onto a single pot/pan/mug, then rubbing it around ineffectually and rinsing it off. Result: a lot of wasted soap and a dish that still has a bunch of food remnant on half of it. The idea of "put soap on sponge, scrub entire sink full of dishes with the same amount of soap and actually get them clean for realsies" blew her mind, but it unfortunately didn't stick.

I finished the lovely table I was making today but I missed a few spots and will have to either put on a new coat or just ignore it and be reminded what a lazy poo poo I am every time I go camping.

Also who the gently caress can't wash a goddamn teapot? It's just tea, rinse it out. I'm a useless fuckwit that destroys everything I touch but what the gently caress is wrong with you? Are you high or medicated? That's a good excuse, otherwise I dunno.

I think it's pretty absurd to put over 9 actual days into a game and then go 'eh, I'd give it a miss.' Like were 200 of those hours idle time? Why would you play something you don't think is worth playing for that long? I have a shamefully long list of games I have put over 100 hours in and I would recommend all of them, I do not understand how you can put that much time into a product and not at least go 'this is good but'.

maybe 200 hours is a bit long, but some games kind of lead you on with a promise of greatness and then you get to a point where you think "that was all a bit pointless"

Then Lego Movie game was unforgivably boring. They didn't just rip scenes from the movie like most licensed games, they redid them entirely but made them totally lifeless, like in the "Hello City" scene in the intro instead of like in the movie where you heard at least 3 blocks worth of voices yalling "HELLO CITY!" in unison along with Emett in the game it's just him then a delay then, like 2 other dudes, It feels so lifeless and dull. The lazy way of ripping scenes from the movie would have been better!

I'm out walking my dog and I see another dog off its leash. Nobody's around and I'm thinking "oh poo poo, did someone's dog get loose?" The other dog makes a beeline for my dog and they start fighting, so I have to pick up my dog to break it up. (He's a small terrier so he's easy to grab with one hand.) Turns out the dog's owner was parking their car, and they just let their dog hop out of the car and wander around while they were gathering groceries. Lady gets out of her car:

Me: "Hey, you should really put your dog on a leash!"
:nyd: "Oh I was just getting out of the car, it's fine~"
Me: "Uh yeah doesn't matter, you should have them on--"
:nyd: "Mmhmm okay you can just stop talking to me now" *literally shows me the hand so I can talk to it*
Me: :what: :shrug:

I've seen dogs get hit and killed by cars because their dumbfuck owners think "it's okay, it's only for a minute!!" Lady, encounters like this are why leash laws exist. Also, you have a terrier. If a bird or squirrel had appeared, your dog would be long gone by now.

Is there a Tuft and Needle in your city? Mine is awesome and was cheap and feels so good.

We have pigeons in our back yard and have been trying to get rid of them. Then a pair made a loving nest on one of our porch shelves and neither my mom or I can throw the eggs out so instead we're letting them hatch and have been throwing food in the area for the mom pigeon. And all this because we don't know how old the eggs are; there is a chance they are close to hatching. My mom is still freaked about the chicken eggs (she got from a normal grocery store) where one slipped through the production line, and cracking it revealed a dead chick that was fully feathered.

I tried the new 12" Macbook and the typing experience is atrocious.

The weather is getting warmer which likely means I'll start seeing spiders again soon. I hate house-spiders. They get everywhere and skeeve me out. A couple of years ago I had a couple of large leggy ones above my washing machine, and one day I saw them fighting. I think one may have been trying to inseminate the other, so I was totally on the female's side, I was like "If he succeeds girl, you have my full blessing to eat that sonovabitch because I don't want to have a pregnant spider in my apartment and it will have been all his fault." Although it is kind of weird that spiders are the one species that will not only not want to continue, but that the female will punish the male for succeeding. I suppose mantises have the whole eating the males head thing, and while earwigs also fight, it's just to see who will impregnate who. They both want to reproduce, but neither wants to be the "girl" that day.

BTW I know that that's not how it really works, I just think it's funnier if the females are like "Fine, you succeeded, well done. I'll worry about housing and clothing them... all you need to do is feed them :unsmigghh:" Especially because the males apparently don't use genitals, they can't get close enough even if they had them, so they just put it on their front legs and feebly try to poke it at the female's parts.

I haven't played Injustice, just spoiled myself a bunch. Apparently you choose the battle simulator game mode in the Multiverse menu. The opaque way this is presented certainly seems like a thing dragging the game down.
