As an old cat adopter I want to add one thing to this. Yes, it hurts to lose them when their time comes, but something I didn’t expect is that after the mourning I’ve always started to feel a sense of urgency to find the next old timer to rescue. I’ll remember the time and love I had from the ones before and I curse how much time was wasted while they waited in a shelter for someone to come for them. Why couldn’t I have found them sooner? They deserved so much more love and comfort, where the hell was I? Then we go out and find our new friends that have been waiting for us for so long and our family gets better again.

It’s always tough knowing that our time with them is short, but that’s true of any animal relationship. In the end we’re left with the love for them which in my experience never diminishes. We may say more tearful goodbyes when connecting with the old ones, but over time the wonderful memories and love in our lives just accumulates more and more.

I agree the responsibility (and occasional expense) of caring for older animals is not always in everyone’s capabilities, but I implore you not to avoid considering welcoming one (or more) into your life solely because of aversion to the pain that comes from losing them. The love they give outweighs it a thousandfold.

Kinda interesting to see a VFX youtube channel get this real about the industry (no doubt on the back of "No CGI is really just invisible CGI", see [post here on that series](https://lemmy.ml/post/13485455)).

I don’t know about that, Corridor Crew has been keeping it real on the realities of the VFX business for years now.

I’m tech support for my family and this comment gave me Pre-Tramautic Stress Syndrome.

Nooooo, was just watching Future Imperfect with a friend the other day and when she showed up I was like, "Yaaaay, Nurse Ogawa!" and then found out while cehcking Memory Alpha afterwards that that ep was actually her first appearance. For a character with so little screentime, I always really liked her and wish we'd seen more of her. RIP Patti, we'll raise a glass in Ten Forward to ye!

Listening now with morning coffee, quite a pleasant start to the morning I don’t mind saying.

Fantastic! Surely Paramount will realize the gold they have and back their content creators with resources to produce more, right? 😭

Except no it wouldn’t because he wielded power exclusive to the office of president therefore it is considered an official act and his motives cannot even be investigated to find out if it was an abuse of power.

The degree to which the Supreme Court has fucked the US with this ruling is hard to understate.

Did Duolinho tell you that? Because it’s dead-ass wrong.
