Here's my cat tax

 

So, i have 2 cats and, while one of them lose some fur the other one could fill a pillow with all the fur that she shed, even if I brush her to remove some extra fur it seems like it never ends.

They sleep on a couch that has become completely unusable due to the fact that if you sit on if you will be full of fur in no time, even after multiple vacuums it still has fur on it.

I have to always close my bedroom door to avoid them going on the sheets because if they do when I do the laundry the hair will spread to everything in the washing machine, even if I programming 2 extra rinses.

I always see people with cats have somewhat no fur on them, even with cats sleeping on the beds and on couches that seem to have the magical ability to not retain fur like magnets.

So what's the secret? They just vacuum more then me? Is there some mystical product that helps removing hair from couches and washing machines?

No.

In the traditional problem, the man tied to the tracks has no input in the final result, they are just a passive piece of the problem, we can assume what their thinking is and that it is how I rationalized my solution: I would expect the lever to be pulled if I was tied to the tracks and so I pull it myself knowing I would not blame the one pulling the lever for my death.

But in this scenario the man has the ability to act for himself: he can decide to jump. I would never expect him to do so (actually I would never expect 99% of people to pull the lever if they were to die themselves) because that is an action that goes too much against all of our instincts and by pushing them I would, in my opinion, commit a murder.

If I was the fat man I would not jump, and if I was pushed I would absolutely blame the one doing it for my death.

You could think that killing 1 to save 5 is the better outcome, but who decide that 1 human is less worth than those 5? It's just the numbers? Then you could argue that between fighting WWII and submitting to the Nazi the better outcome would have been to not fight them because the people that died in camps were less then the victims of the war. Of course that's an overblown example, but it show why I'm extremely uncomfortable with pushing the fat man: imposing your will on someone who has the ability to act is almost never the answer

Absolutely, it would still be an horrible experience

I happily live with myself. The death is on the hands of whomever tied those people to the tracks.

Yes, I pulled the lever and by so chose who lived and who died, but if I was that person alone on the tracks I wouldn't blame the one pulling the lever, I believe it was the lesser of two evil. I would still be fucking pissed, but at the one who tied me there, not the person forced to choose.

Lmao yeah the "family" size usually is for 4/6 people and is often referred as "pizza al metro" which means "pizza by meter" (as in a literal meter or 2 of pizza) and is usually bought for parties

Dominos went away from Italy in 2022 after they couldn't compete with the prices of the many (many many many) local restaurant who offered better quality products for lower prices

Having the same opinion of some mainstream entities is not inherently bad, as long as you don't blindly agree on anything.

The important part is thinking critically for yourself, otherwise you are either someone who follows propaganda/ disinformation too blindly or you go too far the other way and become a conspiracy theorists and start believing antivaxxer bullshit just because you believe the opposite of anything mainstream media says

I cannot decide if this is a genually bad AD, an ironic post or someone with a VERY different sense of humour from mine, for now I have decided AD.

Genuine question, why peope don't want a patriarchal society but wish for a matriarchal one? Isn't it better to just have equality between all genders?

Don't get me wrong, I also don't want a patriarchal society and I understand what are the problems with it, but I never understood the desire to have a "main" gender

I don't think you are being very fair about the coverage of wester media about China, we constantly hear about how the Chinese government is oppressive and evil and oppress minorities and all the fucked up things they do.

Also, you are saying that the government manage to censor everything so effectively? any post in all social media? If so, why then we know about all the other shit they are up to, if the censorship is that good? He shows some video with audio in his reports, why don't post his unedited footage of them as proof? Then other can listen to it and confirm that the subtitles he puts on them while talking over the them are genuine and not complete fabrications, his "reports" are not censored, so I can't se why he can't post them.

Also in this very thread we have seen how he portrays the Falun Gong, basically Asian Scientology, a cult which venerate it's leader as a deity, is anti gay, anti feminism, believes that every race was created by a different god and so there should be racial segregation and that claims that modern medicine is evil, as a (and I quote this video at 00:16) "Falun Gong is a meditation practice that started in 1992 in China. At the core of the Falun Gong are values of truthfulness, compassion and tolerance." without saying anything else about them.

Is this someone trustworthy? At the very least he manipulate the truth, and at worst is a propagandist for a very evil Cult
