We got our Tess a cradle/sling/hammock thing that hooks onto a radiator. She had to be physically encouraged to try it but now she knows what it's about you can't keep her out of it. After she started using it we tried hooking it onto a different, equally warm radiator, but she just went back to where it used to be and curled up on the floor under it in the world's most pathetic protest.

Dead Goon posted:My brother and sister cats were from the RSPCA. Good for you but it's clearly not "very easy" if, for example, you lived here in Edinburgh then the only listing on their website that isn't an individual adult cat are a group of adult sphinx cats that have ongoing serious health problems. https://www.scottishspca.org/rehome/rehome-find-a-pet?type[27]=27&gclid=Cj0KCQiA1pyCBhCtARIsAHaY_5cq_NbT8CkD8C0IoMO46W_aux2vJpnK2VElFVCJnd-xqf4LxSaqN6oaApBZEALw_wcB edit: lol they have a url encoded parameter with square brackets in who made that website edit2: It's also not clear what all these people lecturing others on getting cats off gumtree think will happen to all these kittens born to normal households with a female cat. Very few listings I ever saw on gumtree would be from what you could consider a "breeder". Lord of the Llamas fucked around with this message at 18:58 on Mar 9, 2021 |

Just going to sit back and chuckle at the incoming predictable Angry Right-Wing Talking Head Discourse that's likely to spew forth from the gaping mouths of prophets Shartley-Pooer, The Forehead and Darren '400 IQ' Grimes. They didn't give a gently caress about him hacking the phone of a dead schoolgirl. They didn't give a gently caress about him photoshopping up fake war crimes of Are Boys. Getting sacked from the telly? Woke Namby Pamby PeeSee Libby Wibby Britain has gone to the dogs along with the toy potato's cock and balls. End of western civilisation.

Borrovan posted:CW for transphobia: the terf "1+1=2" slogan is the most infuriating example of this, because they're basically flat-out admitting that they're just axiomatically assuming that they're right (e: & also because its monstrous). All of the other terf arguments are derived from a false assumption, and you can't argue with the fuckers because it's a loving axiom to them. There's just no point in engaging with these types of argument, people always try to challenge the extra steps papering over the core assumption and it's just a waste of time. "[x assumption] is bullshit, gently caress off" is about all you can say. I regret to inform you you are entirely correct, and as evidence I offer the anecdote of a friend going maximum TERF at me via text like 2h ago for calling a transphobe dumb on the internet, then blocking me after I pointed out I don't accept her basic assumptions on who is a ~biological~ woman as an excuse to take out her issues on trans women.

Just outright talking over her more than usual. It's been building up as with squabbling live on air as if he didn't give a poo poo for a while. It was enjoyable to see him tearing into the Tories, but nothing was gained from it because he as a person is a belligerent turd that no-one really 'follows'.

Nonsense posted:Na he ate poo poo. I doubt it. It's gonna be exactly like when Clarkson got fired for punching that producer. My theory is he'd already come to an arrangement with the producer - the guy got a 100k payout. Even if Clarkson had had to pay all of this personally (I think some was paid by the BBC), he now makes 10m quid/year with Amazon. Same poo poo with Piers. Confected outrage and cancel culture is *immensely* profitable. Probably more profitable than any other route right now, for somebody who already has a media profile. Clarkson's wasn't really about that, it was just getting out of his BBC contract.

His Divine Shadow posted:Paying for a cat is good actually. Cats being free is one of the biggest reasons they are seen as disposable pets by many. Thanks to being able to get money for kittens my mothers 80 year old neighbor could afford to have the mother spayed. I don't think a cat lacking a precise monetary value is why people consider them "disposable. " If someone neglects (or worse yet tortured and kills) a cat, that's not going to be stopped by putting a minimum value on them. You fight that with education or raising awareness and basically try to get people to stop being dickheads who think it's okay to drown cats or use them as methods of training dogs for fight rings. The free hand of the market isn't going to remove animal cruelty.

Problem with disposable cats is they all end up in the ocean and now you have that huge floating cat raft in the Pacific Gyre, scaring the fish. I got a cat for life and it's still going strong years later.

It was kind of sad because she's intelligent and non lovely on other issues only to go into idiotic beast mode over PENISES! IN WOMEN'S SPACES! It was also hilarious because she couldn't resist asking if I'm a trans man because why would I care about trans issues so much, after I told her it's because I know and care about trans people who are facing problems she told me I need to talk to real feminists about real woman problems faced by real women in need of real feminism, and in the end she said she'd never talk to a cis man about this topic again because not just me but several men before me have told her to knock that poo poo off. Should've asked her which men specifically because they sound alright and I want to be friends with them instead

You don't even need a real media profile, you can just spew hot takes all over alt right """news""" sites and collect money for how the cultural marxists would have totally cancelled you if you'd ever published outside the alt right bubble. Milo whatshisname would still be raking in the outrage cash if he hadn't said he thinks pedos are good actually.

I have a question for UKMT goons who work in games, I know there's a couple at least. I've asked my new job this question as my first day was ending but am curious so thought I'd ask. They've given me a PC to work from home on but it's absolutely massive, doesn't fit into the only area suitable as a workspace at all and is also worse than my actual PC performance wise. I'm not sure if it's mandatory which is what I've asked them. Is there a great reason why it would be? I guess like, security concerns and if they want to monitor me would be the main reasons. They only had it delivered today in the afternoon after I started and didn't give me any measurements or I'd have flagged it up beforehand obviously. Either way I've already asked so hopefully I don't seem like a complete loving moron or massive whiney bastard to them. Mainly just curious.

I think they all have reduced listings during lockdown though? I adopted mine from Lothian Cat Rescue a couple of years ago, at the time there were some 30 cats they were looking to rehome and there were 2 pairs of siblings among those. Right now there's only two cats listed total though and the shelter is closed to rehoming.

Congrats on starting your new job in the industry! If it's a small indie outfit they will likely be fine with you using your own PC. Bigger studios, especially publisher-owned with their own IT department, may well have set up the work-supplied PC with licensed software and a standard security profile - if they're tight for licenses I guess you could run into pushback against installing something on an additional machine. However if it literally doesn't fit the space I'm sure they will find a way to accommodate you.
