Our two Siamese mix (ages ago) had a very fixed time for outdoor walks. Once a day 3 pm, they could stay out as long as they wanted but once they were inside, they were inside. Next walk is next day 3 pm, deal with it buddy. Siamese are very talkative so that routine really helped. They knew the next walk would be at that time no matter their protests.

My own cat tends to overvocalise at sunrise. She thinks 5 am is a good time to be fed. I ignore her too and eventually tell her no. She does not like to admit it but she does know what “no” means. Sometimes I’ll push her away from me. She eventually grts the message and stops for a while and a few weeks later she gets the bright idea that she could tell the two legger at 5 am that she is hungry…

It’s really good to figure out why your cat has so much to say, usually something can be done about it.

TIL chatGPT is possibly autistic. A kindred spirit! I have consent from my cat to post this.

German with a scientific background. I can deduce the meaning of the words but I’ve never seen them used. I’m not even sure these units of measurement were mentioned when these were discussed. Most stuff is ton, kilogram, gram, miligram, microgram; kilometer, meter, centimeter, milimeter, micrometer. Rarely decimeter are thrown around.

If you happen to be a lion watch out for your emanciated brother with a scar talking to hyenas too.

I don’t get the sci fi arguments in this thread. Somebody wrote a fiction about science that usually wasn’t invented yet. These books tend to be decades+ old. Why would the fantasy of somebody count as an argument? If anything if means developers are on the lookout for the social/emotional dimension.

As for myself. Errrr depends on the AI? I’d like to test it’s decision making process against human decision makers.

Get well soon charlie! Let’s hope the break doesn’t grow back together wrong.

Adopting a cat. I don’t know how I managed to live without her.

Getting a social worker.

Dodo isn’t even all that bratty. She has her own baggage. We just fit together well.

And seriously the social worker! Without them I wouldn’t have moved, I wouldn’t have household help for being chronically ill and currently they are fighting tooth and nail to get my name legally changed. Among with all the other everyday red tape germany is so fond of. And there’s still loads more to address eventually.

The federal government has almost no regulations against groundwater pumping, and individual states have weak, variable rules from region to region, per the Times. Arizona is no exception. For most of its history, groundwater has been unregulated in much of the state, operating on a first come first serve basis, according to the National Audubon Society. This means no limit on how much groundwater can be used, and people can simply drain the groundwater until it runs out, Cook said. Also, it’s rare to find studies of groundwater on a national scale. Most of the time research focuses on a single source or region.

🤦🤷

I have a friend in Udaipur where the Indians created several water collecting basins in like medieval times to combat freshwater shortage. Even if we assumed climate change wasn’t solvable (it obviously is) this particular effect could be mitigated.

I’ve adopted an extremely fatalistic position that for me loops back to optimism: if we are that terminally destructive we will destroy ourselves. And once we do that the planet can move on.

Pandoras_Can_Opener,
@Pandoras_Can_Opener@mander.xyz avatar

Yeah. I’ve made my peace with that. (Nitpick: some historical civilizations were conquered.)

Not about DID specifically but for cPTSD I found the writings of Pete Walker and Judith Herman very illuminating.

I really like this comic. Aside from being non binary and maybe asexual I’m also autistic, academically gifted and chronically ill (and if you want to stretch it, left handed). I’m in varying stages of coming out for these and for some I heavily resent having to come out. Gender identity is where I feel the worst resentment. If it was more normal to expect people to be queer it would be way less dangerous or not even necessary. The individual incidence of queer identities is rare but if you take all versions of queerness it’s not that rare anymore.

This brave little guy just had surgery. (lemmy.ninja)

Scooter had the last of his teeth (besides the canines) pulled today. Poor little guy has stomatitis which means he’s allergic to his own tooth enamel. The vet said it was the worst case he’s ever seen but the gums around the teeth that were pulled last time are looking much better, so hopefully this will be the end of his...

Poor scooter! My Pandora had tooth extraction surgery this year too because she has an autoimmune disorder attacking her teeth. I hope scooter adjusts well to toothless life and is not in pain anymore.

Oh that looks like a fun “discussion” about feeding schedule.

Your kitty is the bravest among them all if they gear up to slay the most foul of beasts.

Boss cat! Not even the vacuum cleaner tells her what to do!

Idk her very pronounced chin and the black lips always throw me off a bit. She’s ecstatic about the sun in this picture but she doesn’t look it to me.

Some cats are so overwhelmingly happy at every bit of attention after they get adopted. May she have as many jingling play sessions as she wants. ❤️❤️

Aww thanks for the extra kitty. Striking eyes indeed. Do they still work properly? Mine also has rounder ears with a little lynx like tuft. And no teeth due to an autoimmune disorder.

Good for autumn. She’s special in the best way.

Also from Germany. Some american news and media sites do that.

Infowars tells you Nazis are something you disagree with? Haven’t heard from them in a while. Would have thought they’d quietly drop the Nazis are evil thing.

Why doesn't the United Kingdom rejoin the European Union?

Admittedly, I don’t know much about Brexit, but from what I have been exposed to, it seems like a decisively economical and political impairment that made travel and business with the rest of Europe more difficult and costly. Since it is so highly criticized as a terrible move, why doesn’t the UK just rejoin the EU?

I think humans tended to do such epic face plants for a lot longer. But these days every idiot and their dog has a smartphone to record everything and an internet connection to share it to the world. You look a lot more silly with your epic face plant if it’s captured in 4K and broadcast to the world.

Random side note: if you want to hear about a rather epic historical face plant there’s a good video on the Erfurt latrine disaster on YouTube.

I love that the boss is such a good sport about it.
