I don’t think that even exists here (it probably does, but it’s a minor option) but that’s probably because literally everywhere around here does fish on Friday (year round and way better than fast food but also usually fairly cheap) and a lot of places do on Wednesday as well.
And during lent, fish is always available. Chain fish places do very poorly here, other than like crab, lobster, or sushi.
So she just needs to throw out ideas, problem solved!
Jk I have this problem too. I want things riiiiiight up until they are on my plate ready to be eaten. Then I lose interest.
It’s worse with going to eat, because the work involved in cooking really cements me to eating that thing.
I have one thing from there.
A company branded sweatshirt.
When I got hired they sent me the catalogue and said “pick something”, and I went “surely not, no, this is far too expensive for the one time I’ll wear it..” and they said “you need something for twice yearly meetings with the ceo, so just pick something.. ok?”
And so I got the absolute loudest (that I liked) multicolored zip front hoodie I could find and those bitches paid to have that shit embroidered with a logo nobody cares about or recognizes, and now I have a ridiculous sweatshirt that’s much higher quality than it deserves to be but cost THREE HUNDRED FUCKING FREEDOM DOLLARS, and thus occasionally gets worn even tho I don’t work there anymore.
I love going to holiday light displays and just let my eyes relax and everything is all spiky with halos around, and it’s all quite overwhelming but really pretty.
I do hate driving at night, though.
If you need your own offspring to have motivation to fix things you are definitely in it for bad reasons. I mean if you want to raise the next generation of human cattle, the machine always needs more.
Automation would be great, actually, if we shifted society to one where your ability to survive wasn’t tied to your ability to generate profit for the wealthy, and made the whole of society based on renewable resources.
What if the reason I got sterilized is that I don’t want to deal with raising them, knowing full well the burden would fall to me and I can’t even manage to keep myself fed most of the time (effort, not availability) and it just works in everyone’s favor?
I can feed my cats twice a day and clean their boxes once, and they manage themselves otherwise if that’s all I have the energy for. That’s called neglect with children.
My cat somehow managed to run a mouse up to the ceiling just yesterday.
I have a wall tapestry that goes to the ceiling above a dresser, which is about 3.5-4 foot tall? The tapestry only goes to the top of the dresser, and the dresser is like 2 inches off the wall (old baseboard resistive heater).
I woke up to the cat pawing at the tapestry, can’t have that. Turn on the light and see a mouse at the very top. Just chilling up there.
Caught it and threw it over the fence into my dick neighbor’s plants, where they all go. (I have a really old house, this happens)
Is that why potassium is K on the periodic table?
And now that I think about it, sodium is Na..
Damnit, our educational system has been telling us we are wrong the whole time! Sneaky bullshit!
He had advanced kidney disease when I started spoiling him, which inhibits eating. The healthiest food I could give him at that point was literally anything he’d eat, and there was just something about frozen white meat chicken nuggets from Costco that he just really liked.
He was on a very low phosphorus diet for years, and it was a constant struggle to get him to eat, even though I found a ton of things that were ok for him outside of the Rx diet food (which he refused to eat for every meal). My vet ended up asking me what I was feeding, because he wasn’t supposed to make it more than a year based on his kidney function labs, and he made it another 8, and was pretty healthy for most of it getting all the way up to a chubby 9 lbs at one point (small cat). He passed last July, and even my vet was sad to see him go (he was a charming lover boy who adored strangers of all species). It turns out, Rx kidney food for cats isn’t actually optimal because cats are obligate carnivores and need protein, but low protein is recommended for omnivores with kidney disease and that was just assumed to be true for cats as well, and the Rx foods are low phos and low protein, so cats waste away over time.
I don’t eat nuggets (or a lot of meat) normally, myself, and I usually don’t give my cats people food either, but I appreciate the suggestion all the same if I come across that need again :)
Sounds like the next thing she needs is a lovely velvet lined rolling box :)
I’ve come across this streaming platform limitation problem a lot. I’m not tied to any particular streaming services, but a lot of the post-2019 (or so) media found on them is completely unknown to everyone, including people who have those services. It’s wild how difficult it is to find copies of some real gems, because they launched on some obscure site or minor-market-share service, and basically died.
People who do happen to have those minor platforms usually don’t use them as much as the bigger ones, or they swap between platforms so frequently they miss stuff that’s not new or whatever it happens to be, but whatever the cause, the effect is that a lot of media, even stuff available right now on streaming, is almost impossible to find (even on a ship!) and nobody has heard of it.
I used to assume that obscure media is bad, and that used to be sort of mostly true, but it isn’t anymore. Obscure now just means it’s newer and wasn't advertised heavily, which is most of it, or is in rights limbo.
