Also pugs, or Scottish fold cats… and those are creatures we love and keep as pets, not even livestock, and we still do it

Yeah

But captive axolotls are not really true axolotls, they are different from the near extinct wild ones (they have a bit of tiger salamander mixed in). And this really only holds true if people breed their wild-caught aquatic animals - otherwise you are just grabbing a living being from its home and putting it in a tiny cage. There is a place for wild caught fish, but it doesn’t seem very kind to remove them from their habitat to languish in an aquarium for a fraction of their normal lifespan, which is undoubtedly what happens a lot…

I often just fail until it gets embarrassingly or super inconveniently bad. My only strategy that was ever even a little helpful was breaking the task into tiny micro 5 minute tasks and writing them all down, and doing a few of those at a time. I had adhd though, and am hoping medication will help with that (so far it has a bit).

It’s called enoughmuskspam

I live for your memes

I’m pretty sure you would go very crazy alone in a chair for 4 billion years

As others have said, you need to take your cat not peeing very very seriously, it can quickly become a several thousand dollar surgery or ICU stay, and it can even be fatal, if your cat is that stressed I think you need to temporarily remove the kitten at least and try again more gradually and with the advice others have given. But for now you need to take your cat to the vet asap.

Experimental groups are often called treatment groups or treatments even when you’re doing a toxicity test in insects or something else decidedly not medical

Yeah I had that bug too when imbedding more than 1 image

As of the recent Lemmy update I’ve been having a bit of issues but it’s still running ok. Definitely some bugs creeping in but hopefully the devs feel less burnt out soon and can keep it working, even if they aren’t upgrading.

What’s the medium?

I’m sure with some calibrating you could just cut off 1/3 of the edible portion. While the core-containing portions would be heavier, the edible apple weight would be the same. It wouldn’t be easy to do first try though

In one slice, cut a third off of each apple, and you’re left with 3 portions of 2/3 an apple each

Another question - you said things are going backwards. When do you feel that things were better, and what made that time practically better in terms of not objectifying people?

Is it? Or is it to allow people to indulge in and express sexuality outside of a relationship? I don’t think it has a singular purpose of objectifying people. If people take it that way I think it’s more indicative of a problem with their attitude that they may need help to reframe.

Do violent shows or horror movies make you feel human life is worth less because it shows people getting hurt or murdered?

I agree that doesn’t seem healthy. Misogyny is nothing new, though, and in your post you said people are reducing themselves to sexual objects but the example is people reducing others to sexual objects, which is not really the fault or necessarily the intention of the person being objectified

In what way do you see embracing sexuality as contradictory to being a whole human? Can you give examples?

Hi gkd,

Some random issues with Memmy have been cropping up in the last month, things like issues loading old inbox messages and replies, certain communities not showing up in the subscription list intermittently (within the same instance I am on so seemingly not a federation issue), and embedded image formatting issues causing the app to freeze. Not sure if it’s just having trouble with the latest updates to lemmy.world or what.

Hope you are well and have been able to get some rest, unfortunately I may have to switch apps for now but I am looking forward to when you have more time and energy to work on this wonderful app again!
