  • Cats have better clocks than we give them credit for. If part of petting and loving is brushing, it might help to start brushing him at a given time every day before moving to meds and brushing. My kitty is 15 now, but the addition of meds to bed routine started maybe a year and a half ago.

    She is currently pawing and sighing at me because I hyper fixated and missed her usual bedtime xD


  • I was part of the crew for the first production of RHPS at my university last year. We are in an extremely conservative area, and knew many people wouldn’t know the callbacks. So we included a few in the programs we handed out, but we also had helpers (Frank’s “Only Fans”) that would wave/flip posterboards of callbacks as needed. By the end of each show the audience was shouting so loud our actors couldn’t hear their cues xD

    Have you gone to see it again since your first show?


  • Jerboa is developed by the main Lemmy devs, if I remember correctly. Nutonic (one of the two main devs) confirmed in that thread I linked above that they don’t have the option to block comments from users of blocked instances yet, because they are still working on it.

    Also, I’m surprised you can’t post in markdown, because I use markdown often when commenting in the daily game community.



  • My ancient kitty expects treats at bedtime, so I have tried to teach her she gets a pill then treats at bedtime. She doesn’t run away because she knows treats are coming, but she’ll try to spit the pill out if I don’t manage to drop it right where her tongue meets her throat.

    She can get this one in liquid form to mix into liquid treats, but then the rest of my zoo gets jealous and I can’t have that xD


  • Settings - > Appearance -> scroll to the bottom - > toggle “Show user instance”

    Edit to add: hexbear specifically only recently came back to life. They were out of commission for a couple months because the person who held the certificate or however you call it for hosting the server disappeared. There was some drama about the instance name going up for auction afterwards. They are back to Lemmy as of a month or so ago












  • Can’t tell if you only want answers from Americans in 40-50s, but I’ll offer mine anyway lol

    I was raised upper middle class, and homeschooled until a private school my parents agreed with opened nearby. I learned about nazi Germany only in the sense that was wrong to punish people for what they looked like, what race they were, and what professions they had. Very little was said about the people who were punished for helping Jewish people, and nothing was said about how the typical citizen was treated. I was taken to a traveling Holocaust exhibit and told to never be racist because of the human lives lost.

    You could say I was raised to think authoritarianism was correct, especially because “democracy allows stupid people to have a voice”. I was not allowed friends from other races or social classes as far as my parents could help. So I was taught “don’t be racist”, but at the same time was very strictly told I couldn’t have anything in common with anyone else that didn’t look and live like me.

    That changed a bit when I met my best friend in high school, they are a first generation immigrant. I remember later, as 19 or 20 year old, I took a quiz on my preferred government type and was fucking floored when it said I was a fascist. My dad moonlighted for an enforcement agency for much of my life, so I guess I learned some fucked up things that way, but still it was a shock.

    Anyway, I have had to do a lot of introspection and self education, and I’ll never be done learning and growing. I’m not a billionaire, so I’ve probably been a bit successful with that
