Might be better to not allow them in the first place…

Shoot, was GenCon this weekend?

Fake: Dude would have a diet coke 🙃

Personally, I’ve enjoyed the resurgence because of nostalgia for that time of memes. Even shared a bunch to another server and got praise lol

👀 what did I miss

I’m enjoying it, though it feels…off? Somehow, likely because its a 30m format, it seems to speed through episodes, or starts to pick up steam then abrubtly ends.

Big skip there, probably should be every weekend

“Nonono, another guy responsible for his death, I just aided them!”

Just keep jumping between the two!

Please yes. I’m up to 11 chickens now

I use navidrome for the server, then Tempo for the streaming to my phone (which has been phenomenal).

Gross.*

*this has been my daily “we shouldn’t have yearly phone releases” rant.

*because it was illegal, which is insane to actually have to deal with. I know its them straining the system, but goddamn

Cool, so they’re effectively trying to brick older devices?

looks at what electricity is used for currently

I meannnnnn

USian here: this had a much darker initial read 😅🫠

Devil’s advocate: humans cause an excess of death beyond that of cats: is it better to put humans down to prevent them from causing mass death?

I’m not disagreeing that they cause harm, but its a philosophical argument of utilitarianism that deaths of a subset would be better no matter what, right? It’s a nuance that can’t necessarily be put to black and white contexts. That’s all I wanted to put forward, but I may have messed up my argument trying to distill to a sentence or two.

Agreed that it’s not empirical data

I’m a waffler from way back, and the wording in that sentence I waffled on the “right” description for where I fell into.

Since being in my own and having multiple days, I don’t think it’s completely impossible for me. I let our cats out with our supervision so they can roll in the grass and enjoy the outdoors; then, we bring them right back in.

My parents never want to get rid of cats, so if any of them were not able to “properly behave” indoors they would be put out as a barn cat. Was it wrong to do that? To them, they’re still caringv and care for the cat, they just didn’t like its behavior. This also was in a small town where going to the pound likely meant kill shelter.

To date, they’ve rescued around 15 cats from off the street, and about 3/4 stayed in the house.

Nuance and all that jazz.
