Last night, my guy

I had a cat, Tiger, who was around 5 when he got into someone’s pesticide in the neighborhood. I immediately took him to the vet when I found him, and they helped him out. He was fine for the most part, but it took some time and some stress to get there. When he came home, the little guy constantly drooled after that, always held his head a little crooked, and always struggled with his balance when doing something.

But he never let it stop him.

He always followed me, and when I was outside he was constantly jumping up and down from things, playing with me, chasing squirrels or butterflies (he was a really, really bad hunter. He rarely caught anything, even before the incident.) I tried my best to give him a good life, even despite the damage he endured. He was really happy, and he didn’t act differently afterwards, with the exception of getting annoyed with me for making him stay inside.

My point is, despite this little girl’s trauma, she may pull through and have an amazing life. In my experiences, pets with special needs, or that have been through a lot, can have incredibly fulfilling lives that ultimately teach and humble you.

Thank you. Semiconductor technology has been due for a big technological innovation for a while now, and not just for economic diversification.

The current economic situation is indicative of that. If there had already been more competition across the globe creating external pressure, maybe we’d have more breakthroughs and we wouldn’t be seeing such a strong economic and technological bottleneck

I smoked too much and forgot

"I smoke two joints in the morning,

And I smoke two joints at night.

I smoke two joints, before I smoke two joints,

And then I smoke two more!"

Plugging “The Muppets Christmas Carol” as the most accurate version of the book. Hands-down, the Muppets actually make some quality content.

It is… acceptable

And the fact every flashback of the pastor was in a church of a different denomination lol

And we now know catnip acts on opioid receptors in their brains, so it makes sense to me that this cat would want to stay her and chill sans 1800s flash like u/homes mentioned

…wait a minute

People argued the same about calculators. This person literally described their situation as one where they’re utilizing it due to having no other option, and as a means to begin increasing their skills. LLMs are mostly garbage, but to say they have 0 benefits is being deliberately obtuse. The other commenter literally took the initiative and adapted the technology to their situation, that’s literally the opposite of what you’re complaining about.

I say this as someone that hasn’t touched an LLM in 3 years.

And we need to address the pic-a-nic baskets

The structure of the usernames, and give that it’s reddit, makes me think this is a bot replying to a bot’s post lmao

An evolutionary attribute, I think, since drinking from standing water increases the likelihood of associated health complications

I’ve been in Management for the last few years, some teams were 60+ people and some were only about 15. Your chief is a dick that needs to get their hands dirty. Any boss that isn’t willing to respect the time of their team, whether on the clock or off the clock, doesn’t deserve to be a boss.

I knew the hours of everyone on my team. I never gave a shit if you had kids or a party waiting for you after work, what you do after your scheduled hours is up to you. If I didn’t have enough employees for the work we had, that’s my problem and not yours.

Man this makes me want to play the Kitten Space Agency game

Massachusetts is dense with the added bonus of comparatively old-world city designs. I’ve found NJ and NY drivers to be more vocal and annoyed, whereas Mass drivers will just risk wrecking you to prove a point because you’ve slightly inconvenienced them and made them a little more late

Edit: I also hate camping the passing lane, but the trait I seem not to share with the other Massholes is that I like to keep distance in front of my car regardless of how fast my car is able to go

This made me kinda queasy looking at it lmao.

I actually quit everything last year. I still get some cravings every now and then, but throw that onto the pile of consequences from my youth. Not the worst withdrawals I’ve experienced, but definitely was the hardest to fully quit.
