Someone was a doing a lot of hard work subtracting big scary numbers in their budget sheet.

Caleful with that, I hear tell those cause sinusoidals.

FYI there’s a MS Teams client for Linux.

The capitalist business class has successfully used quirks of human psychology to make everyone believe they are also business owners, even if they have no business or plans to create one.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

I too hope and dream for Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism; however, to achieve such lofty goals would require challenging the status quo and “The System” is built, and depends entirely on that not changing. So yeah, I doubt we’ll achieve that anytime soon or at all seeing how well we’re protecting the climate… IMO we’ll all be living in a dystopian Mad Max-like world dead.

Money.

Well, those are for the fire. You know, can’t burn someone alive at the stake if you have no fire.

why does this make me hungry

Did you know, that the melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is 1250 to 1260 Celsius; however, that temperature is significantly reduced in the presence of water, putting it down to 650 degrees Celsius at just a few kilobars of pressure!

They ARE basically toddlers. They are dumb animals that need supervision in an urban environment, if you don’t want to do that you don’t deserve to be a pet owner. Full stop.

An urban environment is far removed from anything natural, well I’m not even sure what point you’re trying to make.

*I should say I full-heartedly agree with being reckless and out of touch. Our cities can be so, so much better then what they are now; although, that doesn’t change the fact that they are exceptionally dangerous places for pedestrians, let alone a tiny cat.

Cat’s shouldn’t be left outside in the first place, because of situations like this.

*“Cat’s shouldn’t be left outside because they’ll be crushed by a vehicle, eaten by coyotes, catch a deadly disease or purposely killed by shitty humans.”

I can never understand why this is so often a hot take other than “it’s natural”, which is dubious at best. Leaving a cat outside by itself, without supervision and a harness is irresponsible and stupid. If you or your family do that, in a city, then make sure to have some “missing cat” posters pre-printed and always keep the picture up to date because that cat will likely not live a full life. Kindly keep any anecdotal evidence to the contrary to yourself, it stands for nothing.

Maybe if you lived on a farm and you wanted it to keep the mice population down, but then there’s the environmental factor of how cats kill a lot of birds which stresses an already stressed population (and is maybe detrimental to crop health re. insects).
