Must. Rub. Tummy.

Cat is play fighting through the blanket and bit through it?

Probably not. Reddit post from four years ago has this image, and that’s from before AI was good enough to do fingers. https://www.reddit.com/r/sbubby/comments/kgjoai/my_neighbor_baphomet/

From the comments: “This piece of artwork was made by Herdis @asep.h.thefallen”

Yeah, it was fucking weird. Which is why I started googling and found this.

I’m a big fan of The North East ;)

Danger. Danger. Must pet danger.

Our cat will slink to the farthest corner of the house. It will be hours before she emerges. The vacuum ran for 8 seconds.

Nice perspective.

What would you consider to be a contribution of value? Posting? Comments? Moderating? Installing a server rack in your closer for nightly backups? What would you suggest a minimum contribution for continued use should be?

Our city made it illegal for scrap dealers to accept catalytic converters, and suddenly theft vanished entirely. Weird.

Me too! Our cat is the perfect child, most of the time. Except when she pukes on the bed.

They’re probably all siblings haha

I worked on open source software for over a decade (KDE). When we started having in person conferences, that’s the first time money changed hands. And even then, the conference attendance was free. Viewed through this lens of experience, this feels like an attempt to earn money from the fediverse for running video chats, rather than a grassroots effort.

Paid online event? Weird. What happened to IRC for these sorts of meetings. I’m old.

This is a real phenomenon. Men are more attractive when they’re already in a relationship.

There are similar psychological effects that exist elsewhere. A job applicant is more attractive if they currently have a job. A scholarship application is more attractive if you list your existing scholarships. The effect is basically: someone else found you desirable, and therefore I must also.

The effect is so strong that it encourages people to fake it to gain the benefits.

Carrot cake is hard to light.

13, probably (rescue, hard to know for sure, but we’ve had her for like 8)
