Okay I agree that subscriptions are dumb, especially when you already own something. And I know capitalism is a fucking hellhole.

However, they did not steal the money you paid them. It has been 1,279 days since April 11th 2021. You paid $2.15 total for the app, per your screenshot. Assuming you used the game every day, let's break down that cost to cents per day. It works out to 0.168ths of a cent per day for ownership during this time. For a game you clearly enjoyed playing, you paid about a cent per week, which was used to pay the employees who were supporting the maintenance and possibly further development of the app. that money wasn't stolen, it was used to support the thing that you enjoyed.

Does it suck that you can't use it anymore? Absolutely!

Should you be able to own your purchases forever? Yes!

Is the system fucked? You better believe it!

Did they steal $2.15 from you? ... no.

Years of nail biting

Edit: I mean also the genes for a different thumb shape that inherently has a shorter nail in the first place; but besides that, the nails that are even shorter than the others in this pic would be due to habitual nail biting

I used to live in the area and the "massive flooding all the time" is literally nothing compared to the amount of devastation in the area currently. Entire communities have literally been obliterated by landslides. Thousands of people are stranded because of damaged roads. Hundreds of thousands are still without power. In some isolated areas it is going to take weeks/months to rebuild infrastructure to even access the areas, let alone repair homes and return electricity.

I'm actually upset, because your comment is implying that this is a run-of-the-mill occurrence in the area. This is an unprecedented tragedy and the worst flooding the area has seen since 1916 (and this time it affects thousands more people because of growth in the region.)

Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.

Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we're talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.

And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.

I'm obsessed with this photo. I love all the subtle changes in the colors of the reflections on the windows.

Were you just in the right place at the right time, or were you specifically trying to capture this?

Everything about this is amazing. The spooning. The multitude of curled feetsies. The pudgy belly with the black tail curl on top. 10/10

This post led me down a 2 hour binge of various cave Wikipedia articles. I'm not complaining, it was really neat. Thanks for sharing this!

I love his coat coloring! Like the front half is tuxedo and the back half is tortie. What a cutie pie.

I haven't edited the photo to confirm but I don't think that's true. I think the bottom piece is installed upside down. So to fix it, you'd flip that one around and put it back in that space, then take out the next two moving vertically and switch where they are each placed. Then you have a nice straight line where the bumpy brick sidewalk ends.

Ooh fascinating, thanks for explaining! I'll look in to her writing.

 

I don't think my lurking counts as breaking the rules, I'm just fulfilling my commitment late.

 

This is Scooty, sometimes known as Scout. She's currently 11 years old and was 9 in this photo. She's a bit of a dingdong and we love her very much. Please enjoy this giant blep.
