Want to wade into the snowy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(2026 is off to a great start, isnāt it? Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
OT: Heās gone. Last thing he saw was my face and then there was no more pain. His veins had all collapsed (vet had to inject the phenobarb into the liver), so I was right to bring him in when I did.
Sorry for you and your cat. You did the right thing, but that doesnāt make it any easier.
Iām so sorry to hear that.
also the universe has granted me a small mercy and for once the alcohol/semaglutide thing I mentioned a thread or so ago seems to be totally impotent against the might of scottish chemical engineering. thank you jesus

Sorry for you and your cat.

Iām so sorry. itās never easy when this happens, but for what itās worth it sounds like you gave him the best life possible. it takes a great deal of strength to be with a pet until the very end, and I hope youāre able to take the time you need to grieve and recover your emotional strength.
I adopted him from the shelter. Heād spent months if not close to a year there and no one wanted him. If I hadnāt adopted him, he would have been put down the next day. That was close to eight years ago. He was antisocial to other people but loved me.
Despite his discomfort, he still came and curled up on my chest in bed for a while last night. I appreciated that.
thanks to you he had 8 more years of life and a much happier existence than any heād known before he met you. I think thatās remarkable.
my condolences; weāve gone through similar with our previous cats, all rescuees, and even when you know itās the right decision, the pain is still there.
Fuck, sorry :( internet hugs available if desired
