@BiNonBi. people saying supportive things. how refreshing. don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. and don’t expect any people, on any topic, to always say exactly what yu’d like them to. it won’t happen. i can guarantee it.
@PlutoniumAcid i’m 64, i’ve lived in over a hundred different places, including rural and suburbs with lawns. literally never ever had this problem. not even when i owned cat! so it seems you’re cursed. you need to find the witch or wizard you offended and make amends.
i’m really amazed this would even happen, as cat prefer to bury their waste so they like places they can dig miles more than lawns. i wonder: did your u maybe see one cat, once, poop and now you think all poop is cat poop? because dogs are a lot more likely to be doing this regularly than cats.
@PlutoniumAcid a small pile of sand in a corner of yard would be preferred by most cats. other than that, as someone said above, “accept that animals shit outside.” besides, climate issues will soon make lawns go away anyway. 😢
@pooh because it was the best they could do. people don’t seem to realize how the gop has fought literally everything since long before the last 20 years, making even half assed stuff like this a hard, long slog. if we didn’t constantly have 30 pounds of mud on each shoe, we could all and even run. instead we slog and drag. when we can even more forward at all.
@readbeanicecream exploding human population a threat to all the mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, oceans, glaciers, crops, forests, and atmosphere on the planet. also to ourselves.
it’s always been ok for a private business to pick and choose. choice is nothing if you don’t have the choice to be a flaming asshole. (and i say this as a bisexual person, but one who has long followed lawyers and egalitarian stuff because it’s interesting and it sometimes directly changes the world i live in). the police union is one of the biggest scourges in this country. a private business doesn’t have to serve them either. but of course, they will whine and intimidate and do all their other bullcrap.
@DougHolland christie is just another fascist. that’s not what it was created to deal with, lol.
@Madison_rogue boy, russia’s really digging for change under the sofa cushions.
oh, if you just mean “it horrified me and overwhelmed me emotionally” (vs actual clinical ptsd—i’m too literal sometimes, and i don’t know how to edit or delete on kbin yet so…) then for me, that would be a number of movies, but probably the worst would be blue velvet. dennis hopper’s portrayal of a homocidal maniac was just too, too much. i wish id never watched it.
@Merlu i can’t say, but it’s possible, id think, given that to the brain, an event, a dream, a vivid daydream, and a movie are much the same. i can’t, for example, watch horror movies. if i do, i will have terrible nightmares. and i’m choose about what i watch (and read) in general, because for me, it’s like i’m living it. there are things that still evoke feeling from me 60 years later—that didn’t actually happen to me. (oh, and a lot of things did happen too, and i have ptsd, diagnosed, but i probably didn’t have it my whole life.)
@wnose i don’t follow equadorean news, but my guess would be right wingers in charge.
@bernieecclestoned @dulce_3t_decorum_3st @JohnEdwa @grahamsz
wouldn’t it be cool if the took all the drive and energy they have for climbing a rock into making a world where people don’t have to hire out and risk their lives just to feed their family?
@xNIBx i think it’s more likely to be cheating and/or hidden connections + rivers of dark cash than a “stinging rebuke.” even if not, winning and losing are just how it’s done. i feel bad for the people whose lives will be harder because of this.
@D@kbin.social age isn’t a disease. it can’t be cured. i do think we can probably extend life, but personally, i think it’s cruel to do it by harming other beings, which includes most animal trials.
@psychothumbs suck doesn’t have to destroy anything. musk is killing twitter himself.
