Hell yeah!! Power to the people!! This is what happens when people get it together, we can instantly fact check and organize with greater ease than ever before and I am here for it!!

First of all what? Typically the highest paid members of hospital staff of "Administrators" who have completely shifted health care into a for-profit business. If the government regulated them out of their jobs and there were price caps set in place instead of wasting hundreds of hours decoding billing and fighting insurance companies doctors would very likely make more. They would also be more likely to actually try to help you versus hit unrealistic patient exam quotas to try and extract as much money from insurance to benefit the administration staff. Hell new doctors in medical school are pretty much unpaid and forced to work hours that somehow circumvent labor laws. The whole medical industry needs to be overhauled. Getting rid of middle management would free up capital that could be properly reinvested into the hospital for better equipment, wages etc.

God works in MyStErIoUs ways 😤🙄🤮

That's fair, it's kind of a niche group but lemmy would be the place to find us vegan/leftist/nerds lol. You were right about my description, American currently on the East Coast. I would love if we could upgrade to a completely secular system that includes psychological/emotional evaluation as well as financial application as well but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I would love to adopt, but seeing as I'm unwilling to conform to Christian/heteronormativity standards I doubt I would get approved. It's maybe a point of contention, which might be why I've never brought it up. I'm a damn good mom, but I'm not a "Republican Mother."

Okay, this is a strange question. There are a lot of moving parts involved in adoption which is, in my experience, universally accepted as noble, regardless of their political leaning and ethical eating choices. As a "so far left ya get your guns back" leftist and vegan, I presume that I fall into this category lol. There are some pretty glaring barriers to adoption for me: most adoption agencies are extremely selective, expensive and run by (mostly Christian groups.) Yes, there are children in foster care that you could potentially be able to adopt eventually. But there's no certainty for anyone because the want to "reunite" biological families. But if you're a gay witch, get fucked. Anecdotally, the people that I know that have adopted are religious nut jobs who treat their adopted children like domestic slaves while spoiling their "real" (their words, not mine 🤮) kids.

I get what you're saying and they are certainly falling forward in some ways but maybe they should actually do the work of redemption for their wrongdoings to address their dwindling membership, not pump out PR.

It took me a minute, all I saw was that sand lion from Aladdin lol but dayummmm bats is draggin' a wagon

Awww the only words he can read are: enemies, hate, curse, mistreat. Bless his lil heart.

I love how it's a "blessing of a union" and NOT the sacrament of marriage, which would mean they are still "living in sin" but we love you and accept you but winks at the right they aren't married. Separate but equal much? This is hilariously bad pandering and I hope they get flak from all directions. Fuck the catholic church and fuck the vatican.

Minimum wage means if they could get away with paying you less they would, but if it weren't for those pesky laws. But let's be real here, they already get away with huge amounts of wage theft, especially for minimum wage workers. The minimum was always meant to be the minimum amount needed to live. It's just corporations/oligarchs wanted the masses more desperate because they are easier to exploit. Oh there's middle class, and lower class and upper class. Those are "UnSkIlLeD" labor jobs, they don't deserve a living wage. It's always been a war against the working class and they have us fighting with ourselves over this shit. NWBTCW

Why yes! So I found myself in a similar position a few months back, I have 2 big boys (18 and 20 pounds) and while I had three boxes, they would only use one and pee on each other's spot so it would always be wet and you know that goes. Anyway, I mulled it over for a long time because they are pricey, they have generally mixed reviews and my cats are large and in charge. Well, I was wine shopping and Costco had a really good price on the litter bot brand, it had a whole set and extras and I was like imma treat myself. The litterbox was always my chore and if I didn't clean it out twice a day the house would absolutely stink, I tried all kinds of powders, air fresheners and it would just not help. Okay the litter bot has been an absolute game changer. Mine doesn't separate poop/pee it just all clumps and dumps into a bottom tray. I have been using less litter (now I use a fancy clumping grass based litter because my boys are spoiled and mustn't have clay) and as long as I keep the bottom tray under control, I don't even think about it. I didn't realize how much of a mental load the littlebox was until it wasn't. It did take my younger cat a little while to adjust but now he uses it just fine. My partner read that if you stop cleaning the backup box they will eventually get grossed out into using the scary robot one, and it worked lol. They have a lot of budget ones too, and if you have 4 cats you'll probably want at least 2, but I can't sing enough praises about it. It's definitely a splurchase I'm glad I indulged in. Hope that helps! 🤗✨😻😻

I just finished your article and wow! I'm definitely going to save it and share it the next time I come across another one of those viral problems. It was incredibly thorough and well researched, you clearly put a lot of energy and effort into it and it blew me away. It was really refreshing to see someone articulate themselves so passionately with supporting research. I look forward to reading more of your work!! 👏

He's not even from 'round here!

Time to add this to my collection of memes and hilarity, the expression is just perfect

This is 💯 a conversation Lore would laughingly rage quit, and I love his scenario

Seconding the pho, I would even say a hot pot restaurant since you guys can make your own soups which can take some of the pressure off the conversation since you're actively cooking and the experience will be memorable. 🤩✨

Brooooo I was thinking the exact same thing!!

Hmmm never thought about a grandkitties account, good idea!

Crusher: Ohhhh the ghost of Christmas past? 🥵💦
