Simplest answer is: if you are a vegan, do not own a cat. They are obligate carnivores. There is no healthy and humane way around the fact they need to process meat to be healthy. Don’t own a cat if you are vegan and don’t want to feed your pet other animals. If you don’t want to rehome your cat, you will need to live with the fact that you will need to sacrifice another living mammal in order to feed your pet.

Owning a pet while vegan is already kind of hypocritical…

Where I live, it’s currently $4Cdn for a loaf of basic white Wonder bread, it’s $8.50Cdn for a stick of salted butter, and $5.50Cdn for a pack of 22 slices of processed cheese (not the thick slice type). My country is currently going through a bit of a cost of living crisis because shelter, heating, food costs are becoming insane. How much are those things where you live? I think it’s interesting the differences based on where we all are. 1$ for an entire grilled cheese sandwich in Canada would be considered an incredible deal for takeout food pricing.

I got a fish bone stuck in my throat when I was a kid. My mother tried pulling it out with her fingers, tried pliers, and when that wasn’t working, she then called the hospital (back when you were allowed to do that, now we have to call Telehealth). The person who she spoke to told her to make some well done toast and have me eat it. Worked perfectly. The toast, once chewed, wraps around the bone and gums it up so it passes through your digestive system.

They likely live in a different place than you do Sounds like you got it way better, congrats

It’s really not worth getting this upset over a discussion about chat bots… Maybe take a few deep breaths?

I blame How I Met Your Mother

If it costs basically nothing to try to do a little more, why not do it?

They are actually considering adding warning labels to booze in Canada like they have on cigarette packages. I’m unsure if they’ll go full gory photos of damaged organs and dying people but they are thinking of putting a label of some sort on it.

That’s very thoughtful of you to provide the imperial measurements as well for Americans ☺️

Have you thought about starting a community for your hometown here? It might be one of those things where it will take off but it’s just no one is taking the initiative to start it.

Damn you! 😆

Yeah, kind of overkill for someone to block you over that exchange.

I liked that movie, although the couple from die Antwoord are terrible actors, I found it a bit distracting. I still recommend people watch it.

Apparently he used to own x.com back in 1999 before it merged with PayPal (or something like that).

From Wikipedia: On July 5, 2017, Musk repurchased the domain name X.com from PayPal. He explained later that he bought the website because “it has great sentimental value”.

Probably bought twitter just to have an excuse to use the domain again for something. That guy has too much money.

This is what the internet used to be like. You’d have a very simple webpage/website set up dedicated to a hobby or something personal that might interest you and put it out there for people to come across and read. I really miss this era of the internet.

How is this soul crushing? Looks similar to an apartment my friends rent in downtown Toronto but larger. Theirs is about 500 sqft with a similar looking deck. It’s clean and looks well kept. You know what’s soul crushing? Having to live in poorly managed gov’t subsidized housing communities that are infested with bed bugs, ceilings dripping water everytime it rains, breathing in black mould, and nothing is being done about it even after media coverage.

You don’t let it cool completely but for like 5 minutes. The cheese solidifies a bit more once it’s not blistering hot so when you slice the pizza the toppings are less likely to slough off. It keeps the cheese on the slice instead of being dragged with the scissors or slicer. Same idea with lasagna or shepherd’s pie, it holds it shape a bit better instead of spilling apart into a mess when you try to serve it.

Also won’t snag your belt loops

You maybe should have tried harder to resist.

I miss a lot of my favourite smaller subreddits too. There’s way more now popping up then there was a few weeks ago so it is getting better. It’ll take time for communities to grow, we can’t expect it to be instantly like our fave subreddits were right off the bat. We have to remember that our niche subreddits started small as well at one point. Also consider doing some posting in those slow communities yourself to get the ball rolling. I’ve noticed it takes someone else commenting and providing content before other people feel brave enough to join in too. Kind of like no one wanting to be the first or only person on the dance floor. Once a couple people get in there and begin dancing others join too.
