How does a pampered house cat get her claws so sharp?😖 She’s tap dancing in my lap, pulling threads out of my good trackies and the skidding is dragging her claws through my flesh.
She much prefers to be grubby but I need to clean her eyes, have another wipe at the remnants of the ear drops and clip her nails.
ajsadauskas@aus.social 1 year ago
@melbaboutown @Seagoon_ How often do you trim her nails?
A good scratching pad can help too.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 year ago
As often as she allows - which is to say, not often. She also grows them back so fast.
She’s got two cat trees she uses but those just seem to file them sharper. I’ll see if I can find an affordable scratch pad
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It might not. I have two, one blunts himself perfectly, the other is pointy as F. Same scratch trees etc never tried cutting them. Best guess is the blunt one spends more time in the tile end of the house, grout.

The childcare centre is going to wonder if I have a licence. I had to drop something off this morning and between a car in the driveway and construction in the street, it was easier to just hop on the bike

What wildly inappropriate thing should I do while completing this workplace behaviour course?

Add the words ‘Alpha Male’ to your email signature.
Bonus points if you’re not actually a male.

Strip stark naked and dance around your desk hollering ‘Death to the Machine!’

Price of Spotify going up another buck. Didn’t they just increase it to $12.99 like a few months ago?
This is probably the last increase I’ll tolerate though. I used a cracked premium thingy for about 2 years but then they offered a 3 month free trial and I thought 12 bucks was reasonable enough so I’ve been paying that for 2 or 3 years now. But then it went up to 13 and songs I like started disappearing. And they started forcing ads and concerts/merch down my throat constantly. Now it’s 14 bucks and every time I open the app it’s advertising some concert or something at me.
It’s at the point where if I hadn’t already been using Spotify, I wouldn’t consider it as a decent option, but since all my stuff’s on there I’ll just suck it up. If it goes to 15 bucks I’m out though. I’ll export my playlists and ditch it

If you use YouTube revanced, it comes with YouTube music for free.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I do, yeah, but I’m not a big fan of YTM. Although they do have by far the largest library, since even if they haven’t officially brokered rights to a track, somebody has probably uploaded it
DolphinLundgrin@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Spotify is far and away the worst of all of them, I wish they would die
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 1 year ago
If your on iOS see if you can get a gang together and start a family plan, works out cheaper and you get more iCloud storage for backup.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Nope, not an iOS person. Spotify has a family plan and also a 2 person plan too, but I don’t know anyone I’d trust with my account info who’d be down to go halvsies
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 year ago
I cancelled my sub because of price increases. It’s just ridiculous.
Baku@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Yeah. The only reason I haven’t yet is because it hasn’t quite pushed me over the edge yet. I’m basically 1 foot off the edge, but I haven’t quite fallen over it yet. And also I need some time to figure out what my other alternatives are

So I watched Quiet on Set.
It’s a post modern series that does very little other than look at very few facts and talk to victims about their feelings.
No experts in the child acting business, child safety or law are talked to. No forensic psychiatrists are talked to about the kind of people these criminals are. No solutions are explored other than, "we should stop this. "
But there ARE experts out there who deal with looking after child safety, there are experts in law regarding child abuse , there are psychiatrists who deal with child abusers in court.
Over all this show was nothing but victim porn that gave no solutions. I doubt the makers of the show even understand how what they did is very little help.
And I’m sure the adults interviewed about their experiences thought they might be helping other people in the same situation.
But without solutions it’s very little help at all. It’s just more exploitation.
I give it 1 hobbit for dealing with the subject of male rape at all.

Studios like to tell talent there are hundreds of people lining up to take their job so they should be grateful for what they have.
They never seem to apply the same logic to the creepy people making middling TV shows that any writer could helm.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
actors cost money, writers make money
maybe that’s how the bad logic goes
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
It took less than 30 seconds looking up sag aftra on line, they have so much information on there about looking after child actors. Looked up a security expert, deBecker, he has information on protecting children.
How hard would it have been to interview these experts.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 year ago
Nearly finished watching Quiet on Set , about Nickelodeon.
it bothers me that companies will overlook pedophiles with a criminal background as long as the money is coming in 😡
companies need to be made to have it be financially unworthwhile, like billions in fines and jailtime

Yes but where is the customary cigarette I used to see in it so often. I guess it doesn’t work so well with the current trend of vapes.

I’ve taken away the bird water dish. It could spread disease from not being regularly cleaned and a rogue cat managed to ambush a pigeon using it.
