9·18 days agoI sent you a DM asking for verification. If I can verify that you’re actually on Cofu helping the local stray cats then your donation link will be allowed.
29·3 months agoThere’s this one in Mississippi but as stated in the article:
a preliminary report released earlier this week by the Bolivar County Coroner’s Office “indicates no evidence of foul play.”
Though I and others are skeptical of that initial report.
I haven’t heard of any other lynchings.
There isn’t anything wrong with a comment section discussing a subject related to the post even if that subject isn’t what the community is about.
If someone posted a picture of a cat-shaped pizza then it’d be fine for that post’s commenters to discuss pizza in general.
I prefer to allow posts with controversial subjects that don’t otherwise violate any rules, such as AI generated images, because it allows for important conversations.
I would rather allow the occasional AI image be posted so that people can discuss why AI images are bad.
To the several people who reported this post:
This community does not have a ban on AI generated images. Especially ones as silly and harmless as this.
Should a user abuse AI generated images, such as spamming them, then action will be taken against them. But one-off silly images like this are fine.
Received a report saying:
please allow the community to vote on dead pet posts.
The community already votes on dead pet posts via upvotes/downvotes. And the results are largely in favor of allowing these posts.
I understand that death is a tough subject for some people. These sort of posts make me tear up too. But our beloved furry friends are not immortal. They all die eventually.
If this community can serve as a place to help people grieve when they lose their pets then I’d say it’s worth making a few people uncomfortable.
Rest in peace, Izumi. You were a beautiful cat that was clearly well loved in life.
It was given to me so I don’t know where it’s originally from.
I found what looks like the same thing by searching “mushroom scratching post” on amazon.
There’s no knife nearby. Guess I’ll get to gnawing.
2·2 years agoThe changes to the progression system, along with other system overhauls, are free. They’re part of the 2.0 update.
The DLC adds a new region and plot line and is paid.
My cat’s name is Possum. Not really a crazy name, but it has caused confusion before.
Once I was picking her up from the vet and said “I’m here to pick up Possum.”
Then the lady at the front gave me a confused look and said “We don’t treat Possums here.”
This is true.
But to be clear, I was talking about people lying about having skills required to perform the job they’re applying for. If you’re in a homeless situation I wouldn’t suggest lying to get into a job you’re incapable of performing unless there’s no other job options. Even if you don’t fail the interview you’ll end up in a job that you’re likely to get fired from.
That said, there is plenty of stuff that interviewers look for or ask about that has little or no impact on your ability to do the job (gaps in work history, weirdly specific minimum years of experience, etc). That sort of stuff is worth lying about.
At my current job (software engineer) I’ve had to interview a lot of people. It’s wild how many times I’ve asked a candidate about a skill they list on their resume only for them to completely fail even basic questions.
Then it gets really awkward when I point to it listed on their resume.
If you don’t even know the basics then don’t lie about it. If there’s any chance you’ll be asked more advanced questions then don’t lie about it. Save yourself the embarrassment.
They’ve talked about the ddosing on the lemmy.world discord server.
Adorable! He has beetle juice eyes.
I pay $64 a month for Verizon Fios in Maryland.
She is smart. Luckily the only asshole thing she uses her brain for is opening cabinets and closets.
I have child safety locks on my kitchen cabinets. I swear if she had hands she’d get past them.
It is a cozy blanket. Unfortunately I have no idea where you could find one.
I found it in a closet at my grandma’s house a few years back. I’m pretty sure she bought it over 30 years ago.
There was a tag on the blanket but someone cut it off long ago.
They gave the lemmy.ml link. You can find the community by searching for it or adding
/c/<community_name>@<instance_name>at the end oflemmy.world.Or click here: https://lemmy.world/c/torties@lemmy.ml
There’s probably a browser extension to do this automatically. But I don’t know.
I received some reports, so I want to confirm that I verified that the OP is in Corfu and is at the very least taking care of many cats. She shared ID, vet bills, and a time stamped photo with several of the cats.
That said I have no way to verify all of her story and, as commenters have pointed out, her $100,000 goal and AI generated donation page description are suspicious. I think I was too hasty in allowing the donation link. I will leave this post up, assuming OP removes the donation link in a timely manner.
I’ve reached out to OP to take down her donation link. And requested that she post updates on the cats for several weeks, how they’re doing, and what she’s doing for them. If she can provide consistent updates then I’ll reconsider allowing her donation link.
