What the fuck?

Okay. 🫠

Hello there, I like 3D printers. And computer. And gaming.

Why is my money always gone.

Given every single shelter I’ve ever been to in Germany lists adoption requirements for each cat (one of them if they are a freeroamer or bot, i.e. need outside access) and would not let you adopt a cat if you can’t provide them, with the professionals at the shelter even pointing out that “taking away outside access from a cat can, depending on the cat, amount to factual animal abuse” (roughly translated)… yeah, sorry, but there’s zero chance any anecdote here could convince me.

I’ve already posted an example on another reply. Right now they even got an additional box above the list stating that “most our current cats do not accept being held only indoors” (the green one), given that’s what most people look for. Most of them specifically state “Freigang” (Freeroam) as requirement.

Not any cats, but those who’re already accustomed to the outdoors. I’ve been to multiple animal shelters in Germany over the years, all of them had information about if a cat required access to the outdoors to be happy. And that was a requirement for adoption of those cats. You can see it here for example at the Hamburg shelter Süderstraße, the biggest one in the city. Every cat or group of cats has the “Haltungsanforderung” (adoption requirements) mentioned, most of them “Freigang” (“Freeroam”) since they often receive strays and there’re less people in the city who can provide that.

I’ve no clue where the hell you all live or how big your houses usually are, but despite the known heavoc freeroaming cats can cause: if they are freeroamers then, according to the professionals at the shelters I spoke with, suddenly keeping them in an average apartment (i.e. ~60m²) would be almost abuse and they will not let you adopt a cat if the cats individual requirements aren’t met.

And to be clear once more, the shelters don’t advocate for everyone to let their cats out. They advocate and educate so people won’t do it in the first place, BUT if a cat already knows the outside and would go mad inside they respect the animals’ requirements.

Jokes on you, big tech would loooooove to provide that. Just that your mind is then fully profiled on their servers and you really don’t know if something you like is because you liked it or the algorithm made you like it.

That goes against any knowledge and experiences available, I’ve never seen or heard of a single adoption centre who’d allow it either; if the cat is an outdoor cat they’ll never let you take it unless you can let it out as well, and cats who’re accustomed to a secured balcony or a Catio also require it to be adopted. That’s why it’s important to raise a cat as indoor cat in the first place. Do you have any sort of proof of the opposite?

Strays who lived outside can’t be house-only cats anymore.

The last thing I want is staying present tbh, my life sucks ass (which is one reason why I’d like to focus more in aspects that may improve it).

Apoarently they can decide to, like, just not have it right now. Like some damn wizards.

Any good strategies how to make the negativity of that flow stop? I literally can’t stop it, spend the last 15 minutes envisioning how my relatives may get poisoned by a Blue Ring Octopus. The time before that I think some made-up political discussion ending up in the family exploding (very popular).

I really would prefer less negative stuff. And please don’t just say therapy, I live in Germany, we don’t have any therapists available before 2030 for 2nd class healthcare receivers.

If it’s cornered it will bite. First it will flee (can’t), then it will show the rings you can see in the picture to warn predators. If it does that and you still touch it, or worse, pick it up, it will bite.

The audacity and inconsiderateness of this one is just baffling. Wtf is wrong with her.

But why, they’re just playing. All their claws are retracted.

That makes 109,99€ per months for access to culture. We may or may not restrict dopamine flow further in the future to offer you new, exciting additional subscriptions. Please do not resist, you’ll love it.

Lol jokes on you, I can only hope to find an appointment at a german clinic that will just write me the fucking prescription that’s only 5 hours away. Because every other option in hundreds of kilometers does not work, the local clinics can’t prescribe it because they wouldn’t get paid for it, my home doc can’t because her budget doesn’t allow it and the emeegency hotline 1. has no clue which doc does ADHD, 2. hardly has any appointments either because everyone is desperate and 3. can’t give proper appointments, just short emergency onces that amount to nothing.

Of course if I was rich I’d have my meds tomorrow morning.

Welcome to Germany, where we (by now) merely cosplay a working healthcare system unless you have the money and total lack of medical preconditions to buy yourself into the 1st class citizen’s system (private healthcare).

Because making shit equal, be in perfect balance or even symmetric makes my dopamine go 🥳.

Finding the correct answer that way is a neat side effect too.

It was, in fact, one of those tiny bearings.

Welp, it was one of the tiny ball bearings of the extruder gear axle.
