I think feral unnuttered boy cats get chubbier cheeks for that classic tom cat look. I could be misremembering some reddit comment that was telling a fib though.

Thats a air muffin paw. Someone wants loves.
I was pointing out how its less practical than the normal tazers which they still don’t use. The idea of it sounds dangerous to the user too.
The taser gun is the ultimate form. But I agree with your sentiment about less shooting the better.
I guess the point I want to drive home is this taser gloves thing likely costs 300 thousand dollars for a single glove and is funded by tax payer dollars, and its going to be just a toy they bring out to torture people for fun, and otherwise foregotten. They’re still going to pull their guns out first and foremost, and when its slow they’ll abuse their drones and gloves for fun.
Ideally we wouldn’t give them anymore money, my critisim was more a joke but I was trying to point out how the system is so backwards I can imagine a scenario where this was proposed instead of making the ice agents sit through one more paid class with at least the bare minimum a guide on how not to shoot people immediately.
Just the idea of shock gloves sounds like some kind of nepobaby invention where they got a gurillian dollar defense contract to develop a new nonlethal weapon, instead of actually training ICE members to not kill people.
And the person who invented it didnt even know what to make so they did a pintrest style mood board with chatgpt and uploaded all their punisher fan art, tactical gear edc posts and it spat out this idea.
Like what was even wrong with the taser gun? Why do you need it in your gloves? Just sounds like the dumbest most punisher fanfic turbo virgin idea. Like the guys who go to jail for impersonating a police officer and stolen valor at the same time invented it.

We can’t just stop doing that.

politics @lemmy.world•‘Dr. Doom’ Nouriel Roubini says we’re headed for universal basic income or ‘some form of socialism’ as AI revolutionizes work—He calls that optimistic
1·2 months agoPlease stop supporting UBI. Even when progressives talk about UBI they talk about how much money they will save because they are removing literally ALL other forms of social welfare including social security.
Imagine having to work at Walmart like your grandma at 80, because the social security check only pays out a weeks worth of pay at a part time minimum wage job. And now due to UBI you don’t even get food stamps, or get free healthcare.
We need more socialist programs, not a cash bribe for the stupidst of people to sell out their country.
This is what ai/effeicency looks like. Its going to be like dodge gutting all the funding for the federal programs until they are nonfunctional. All the money should be going to ai and “hyperacalers” instead and people starving on the street is just social progress.
I just don’t want to be reminded of my past stupidity, and anything you feel “connected” with someone or something to the point of tattooing it on yourself its usually coming from a place of pure emotion or a thing of faith.
Also I don’t want to help the corniner identify my corpse. When I go out I want to be known as “pressumed dead.”
Sounds like that chatgpt device they are trying to put in your house.

1·2 months agoWell I am failing to understand where I am not breaking through with you and feel like you keep getting caught up on small symantics that act more as gatch’yas more than anything. I typed up a different response but after re-reading our messages I kind of just repeat myself, and I don’t think either of us are going to really move forward.
Any other questions, concerns or points you would like to make?

11·2 months agoThey have the same fears of our tech too, Tesla isnt allowed to have their vehicles in many parts of China due to all its cameras and pings back to the US. All of our software surpremacy is just one super backdoor to the worlds information. Every other country desperately wants to stop that, besides our 5 eyes allies and Israel.
And sure I did classify what was worse but maybe my wording was a little bad and I’m failing to get my message across. All are bad, we are both pretty much evil countries that abuse human rights. One being forgien, and one being local doesnt change that.
What changes is one is directly effecting me and ruling over me. That aspect of it is worse.

11·2 months agoAhh so im talking to a Vulcan and I’m not allowed to go on my creative writting tangents. Also you talk like a debate bro I’m going to take your arguments you are trying to make at face value.
Both are malware, dont care in classifying which one is “worse” when primarilly I only care about the ones who have direct reach and control over my life and how I have to make decisions.
Our spyware is worse because I have to live directly with it and those are the people forcing computers into cars that we can no longer afford. Tech bros, and data companies are ruining cars. In my mind that’s much worse than a invisible threat that isn’t even allowed to operate here yet just due to the import fees alone. Fuck GM, fuck ford, fuck all them they should of never got bailed out.

11·2 months agoIts just the way you keep pushing this issue implies that because the forgien one is bad, we should justify the local one being bad.
If anything I support the forgien one more because you know I expect them to be bad guys. If these entities where people how would you feel with them sleeping with your wife? The “foreigner Chinese bloke” would probably sting when you found out, but it would be nothing in comparison when your good Christian church leader Mr ford does it. Even worse the church leader will gas light you about it not happening, while continuing to double down and bring other guys over to fuck your wife. And he can only do this because hes local.

1·2 months agoI classify anything thing that’s not foss as malware/spyware, and even then I cant even fully trust that.
If you really want to go down the rabbit hole the only thing that will end up making sense is temple OS. But no one really cares that much about privacy to be that inconvienced.
It was more to point out that its kind of hypocritical because its not like we aren’t doing the same thing. If anything I see the US goverment as a more of a threat because everything they do is directly effecting me. With China I cant be certain and can only blindly speculate what bad stuff is happening. I don’t directly see how I’m getting fucked so theres some willful ignorance I enjoy having occasionally. Its not like here how they use the cars meta data to make your insurance rates go up, or deny you coverage in a crash because they can point at a metric. Theres no face to the evil.
He always got wet food with free feeding dry food. But we started watering it down now days just to make sure.
We dont fully know what cause the blockage, it could be litter, stress, food, etc.
The vet never told us specifically what could of caused it because she had no way to know. We assumed it was the meat snacks we gave him because that was one of the few variables that made sense to us that the vet listed. Could of even been the food brands we where feeding him at the time, could be the dusty litter.
Regardless we didn’t risk any variable and changed to his prescription diet, the litter, and the works and we havent had a issue sense. I still think it was the meat but honestly could of been the liter, or various other things. Certainly not going to start testing to prove my hypothesis.
Also he’s 5-6 years old with 4 of those years with us. From those years before the bladder blockage yeah I would say he was a normal healthy cat with no issues before that. Most of the time you don’t get a cat with preexisting conditions, you just end up with a cat and you presume its healthy until proven otherwise. He could of had this before but it took a long time for the issue to surface.
Its more common than I thought. The vet said it effects 1/10 male cats, and more and more it seems to be a issue these days. Our vet says its the cat food everyone gets these days doesnt help.
And I know the person wasn’t calling me out directly, I didn’t make a single comment until I read that one and decided to reply. I was more pointing out how this does happen and I would say is something to be concerned about, and how I see that same concern in a few other comments. Those are warnings of experience, and I wouldnt of known that if I haven’t gone through the same thing.
Listen man I just don’t want someone to feel like I did. We had to drive 2 hours at mid night to the nearest emergency vet and they had to keep him there for two days. I had to do sidejobs every weekend to pay off the bill. Thankfully they didn’t start charging interest until maybe a year after and we got it payed off before that no problem.
What makes it worse is cats dont show pain. My wife did not seemed concerned what so ever that he wouldnt get out of bed for the whole day, and was really dismissive when I pointed out he acts like he doesnt want to sit down or lay down. It wasn’t until I googled the symptoms said its deadly before she decided maybe it was serious. I just dont think most people “get” cats, or are expecting them to communicate to you like a dog.

Memes@lemmy.ml•I will keep recommending weird, old, and obscure films
10·2 months agoEverytime I show my wife a new youtuber I found, some how the video she/I choose happens to be the only video on their channel where they talk about how big of a Christian they are or make it all about god out of no where.
She jokes about how I’m some secret christian because its happened maybe 3-4 times until recently it happened with her showing me a video.
It probably doesnt help I share some interests in weird hippy stuff like homesteading and recycling so some times that crosses over with the religious types who run some kind of farm.
Not even hating. Literally only gave my male cat two bites of perschuto and he got a bladder blockage.
Was painful, he almost died, and it costed 6 grand. We didn’t have pet insurance then so that was a lesson I did not forget.
I seen my cat in intense pain and almost die, I am almost slightly offended you would call me a hater for trying to warn another person of what could happen. If anyone doesnt know yes over salty foods and fatty foods are bad for cats, especially male cats. You can call someone a hater for sounding passionate but I think you should understand where that passion comes from, and its a one of concern. Its not someone telling you what to do, it’s someone warning you.

Someone needs to make a modern day version of the game JFK reloaded. But with this.
