Despite my best efforts, sometimes my cat gazes at me, not with love, but with an expression of profound disappoinment and moral judgement

Four years ago, on this date, @eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place , our cat Freya, and I landed in Cyprus after a thirty six hour journey.
It's had it's challenges, and some things (like Cyprus post) have been rather disappointing, but overall it's been good, and quite a few things really are better. The big ones ( ie lower cost fo living and better weather) are pretty obvious, but a few others aren't
Here are a few little things that are great:
-When I call a place, a real person usually picks up the phone
-Almost no junk mail
-No one has tried to evangelize me, not even once!
-No lawns (seriously, I hate lawns and my previous city in America mandated lawns for all houses)
-So many cats!!! I knew Cyprus had a lot of cats, but it's still so nice to walk somewhere and see several cats on the way
Time for a poll about every cat lover's favorite thing, cat vomit! So, without further ado, how often does your cat vomit? (if you have multiple cats, answer for your most vomity cat)

@thatkatharine@ohai.social One time we got an especially bad dust storm, and the Pm10 was above 1000 ( pm 2.5 was a couple hundred or so) on most of the island.
I had to go to the post office, so I wore an ffp3 mask. Other people outside the post office... decided that the air they were breathing in would be enhanced by smoking a cigarette

As an American who fled to The EU 2022, I feel like you have a few erroneous assumptions.
-
America isn't a healthy democracy, the correct term is "defective democracy" (which it has officially been classified as for a decade, I'll note), and the 2024 election was bad even by those standards, with the Democrats appointing a historically weak candidate who ran a weaker campaign with policy positions that were deeply out of step with the majority of Democratic voters.
-
That it would be bad for Europe if a few million (I sincerely doubt it'll top 5 million, and even that's probably far too high) Americans who wanted to escape fascism moved to Europe.
-
That anybiody would flee their home country, because it's "convenient." it's fear and despair, it's politicians calling for your arrest or worse, it's wanting to just live your life in peace.
Anyhow, to go back to the OP's first post, trans people in America are facing literal genocide (That's not hyperbole, it's the official opinion of The Lemkin institute (https://www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/experts-warn-u-s-in-early-stages-of-genocide-against-trans-americans) so please don't tell them (or any one else targeted by the current regime for that matter) that they should stay if they want to flee.
Which shoe name is more inappropriate?

@alice@lgbtqia.space
i see that Adidas wanted to give the old "Reebok Incubus" woman's running shoes some competition for the most inappropriately named shoe ever sold

@catsalad@infosec.exchange My cat HATES it when I lick her head, which is why I only do it if she's being aggressive (well that and the fact that licking cats isn't exactly fun)
In general, which rights do you feel are more important: Parents' rights or children's rights?
Legal status notwithstanding, Do you consider yourself primarily a citizen of?

Localization is generally less work, far less BS, and reaches more additional users than MAC support

@catsalad This is why movies are better viewed at home, which has more cats than a theater!😉

@SudoCat@mastodon.gamedev.place As a US citizen, I can definitely relate to being from a country that has made some horrible choices in recent years.

If any one is curious, I have done this since my cat was quite young, and she loves the attention
Replying to
@GoblinQuester@dice.camp I generally agree that parents' rights is often more about controlling rather than protecting kids. it's just with the whole age verification push, I was curious how people felt about it. Granted Fedi is a bit of a skewed sample, but I'm still curious

@pastelexuvia@cathode.church
it's the name of the postal service here in Cyprus. It is.. pretty terrible
Replying to
@catsalad we actually bought one of those for our cat. She hated it and we ended up selling it on Craigslist
@alice@lgbtqia.space TBH, I mostly find it ironic that they feel a need to lock away... locks
Replying to
@MachineLordZero@mastodon.social Fair, OTOH, there's a reason (that reason obviously being you probably shouldn't' name a woman's running shoe after a demon who rapes and impregnates women in their sleep) why, 30 years later, they still hold up the Reebok Incubus as one of the most ill considered product names ever

@Sevardin@tech.lgbt Heh. I've tried almost all the options and use pellet litter now. it seems the best so far
Replying to
@augieray People have been burned a lot, graphs have been reworked to make infection rates look lower, data colelction has been cut off, etc. It's not surprising that the baseline assumption is "That's probably not true.", since historically that has been accurate.
Hopefully it is a lull (there's little data where I am ), and hopefully it will last, but only time will tell

It can be. it took hours the last time, but this time seems to have been very fast and clean, fortunately
Replying to
@mconley That's why virtually all of my socks are either white socks or black socks of exactly the same model/brand. I don't' remember where I got that advice, but it was good and I took it to heart many years ago

It's a harmful practice that is medically unsound and deeply harmful to those who undergo it. Do you think adults should be able to sign up for a lobotomy, too?

For clarity, I'm using the definition of nation that means a people with a shared history, identity and culture within a geographical region, not the more common usage that is a shorthand for "nation-state"
Replying to
@PeachMcD@union.place Yeah, I think my cat really likes the tone of voice I use when I lecture her on a subject
