It really needs to be more socially acceptable to name and shame people that allow their cats to roam free outdoors. I'd also like to see some changes to pet ownership laws to prohibit/discourage it as well. A cat found outside a home (and not on a leash or in an enclosed cage) should immediately bring considerable financial repercussions down on the owner as well as removal of the cat from their "care". If I get caught killing wild animals with my own hands (especially protected ones) then I am legally in deep shit, yet cat owners can get away with it with impunity. They're basically letting a super predator roam free to slaughter wildlife while also putting it in incredible danger from other predators or cars.
People that let their cats roam outdoors are absolutely fucking atrocious pet owners and should be treated as such.
The title made me think they were responding to users that needed customer support, but no. This:
Meanwhile, when another user lamented the amount of loading screens, the support team replied imploring the reviewer to "consider the amount of data for the expansive gameplay that is procedurally generated to load flawlessly in under three seconds".
is just pathetic. This is nothing more than low-effort damage control. Which, funnily enough, is rather fitting for Starfield in general. It's not a terrible game but it absolutely fell flat on its face on its biggest selling points. Procedural exploration will always have drawbacks but No Man's Sky absolutely smashes Starfield in this department and it came out nearly 8 years ago and made by a team a fraction of the size. And I don't expect Bethesda to put in the same effort as Hello did and make Starfield live up to its promises
This gets asked every time Tumblr is mentioned online. It's still around and has a large, thriving userbase. It's one of the last slices of old-school internet that exists today and, because of that, is very resistant to modern monetisation tactics and enshittification which makes shareholders cry in their sleep.
I flew last year. Each checked-in bag was $50 before tax and it took over an hour before the baggage carousel even started to spin. Everyone who had carry-on bags were $50 richer and could leave the airport immediately.
That's why. The checked-in baggage process is expensive, miserable, and frustrating. Even worse if they lose your bag which is becoming increasingly common.
Negative emotions are very easy to exploit, unfortunately, and the companies behind these platforms have figured that out. It's why things like rage-baiting and hate-clicking are things. It gets even worse when you add in things like global user scores that basically pit your users against each other and encourage users to say things they normally wouldn't just to get upvotes.
Reddit is a very hostile and selfish place where people only ever care about themselves and how they can one-up other people. There is no sense of cohesive community there and even people sharing the same subreddits as you will treat you like trash.
I deleted all my content and then my account as well back during the big migration and I haven't looked back either. It is an awful site and does nothing but promote toxicity.
I feel for those who have had Twitter be such a part of their income but the writing is on the wall for the platform and it's time to start looking for alternatives. Xitter is going to be circling the drain soon if it isn't already and there is nothing Muskrat will do to correct that.
Tried to go for a nice relaxing bike ride today but got jumped by someone's off-leash dog. No injury but came very close to being thrown off the bike. The owner blamed me for not getting off my bike to walk it calmly around his dog even though it was a bike-friendly pathway and was marked as such.
Here's hoping the rest of the week goes a bit smoother.
thank you so much!
