Corporate buy in, just look at bluesky. I don't want lemmy to grow.

I think hank green has a pretty nuanced take on the subject:

It sounds like you do agree with my last statement, I said if x then y. You said not x so not y.

I think the runaway success of astrobot for the PS5 has got execs watering at the mouth. If It's as good as astrobot then I don't think 10bucks is all that crazy either.

This comment is going to piss just about everyone off, but tik tok was actually amazing for the couple hours America was banned. That's not an endorsement of tik tok just an observation.

Didn't the ndp just very publically fire and shame someone for propalestine sentiment?

at least I can watch twitter without an account, so it does help, thanks.

Can someone share a mirror?

It's now april 4th and retail egg prices are still pretty stable at 4$ a carton. Certainly not the sorts of prices usa was seeing at the time (although their prices have come down significantly, I think)

I think some spreaders of misinformation are victims and not intentional bad actors. Banning them from legitimate communities only pushes them further from reality which is bad for our society. Telling the difference between useful idiots and bad actors is hard, so i think the general policy should be a warning and a ban until election day, and having the mods reserve the right to be harsher for clear bad actors.

Man I am SO grateful that our election cycle is only a month long.

the wierdities is possibly because of ai

That's my bad, I somehow missed the sentence where you said you were summarizing with AI, probably because I stopped to look at the OG thread right before that sentence.

cats should be allowed to to gradually wear them down

They are, that's what scratching posts are for, you usually need both. when it's not enough you trim them. Like you say it's a continuous wear down, so they would never grow to a threshold where they need trimming if normal cat activities is enough to keep them short.

i think we can agree, trimmed cat will have less sharp claws, and less effective [at hunting]

No, to use your analogy the axe is shorter, and might need resharpening (something a cat will do by themselves after if they so wish) but it's not really less effective. Not being able to stalk because the nails are overly long is a much bigger hindrance to hunting than blunt nails. Cats don't use their claws for the death blow, they use the claws for climbing and for holding onto their prey. They use their teeth to kill their prey. So long as the claws are sharp enough to pierce skin and maybe tree bark (which after trimming they typically are) then they are good enough to hunt. You actually don't want something that digs in too well, a cat would want to be able to let go of things by retracting their claws, something they can't do with overgrown nails. I have personally watched cats kill birds within an hour of getting a nail trim.

my hypothesis is that these are relevant for young and old cats

My hypothesis is that gyms are bad. Only young and old people need to go to the gym, other people should be getting that exercise by hunting antelopes like they did 12k years ago. the only thing stopping people from chasing after antelopes all day is that they are too tired from visiting the gym.
