Assuming it’s a real cat, my best guess is that it’s a black & white cat with advanced vitiligo? I’m not aware of any coat genetics that would explain that sort of spotting pattern.
- Comment on Can't believe it's been renamed for a year now! 2 days ago:
They still haven’t actually updated it on all the government sites though.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
I’m a millennial, and regularly talk to friends & family on the phone. There’s plenty of situations where I’d much rather talk on the phone than communicate via text.

- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 5 days ago:
Nope. I got laid off over a year ago, then diagnosed with cancer. I feel guilty for being detered by how complicated some of them are and for not taking full advantage of the programs while I’m at a point where I really do need them and qualify for them. I’m on the mend now, and as soon as I can find a job again, I’ll be glad to be paying back into those programs.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Oh yeah, you’re right. I was focusing on just where the first day of the week lands, not the full month calendar.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
No, since there’s only 7 different possibilities, then over a sufficiently large sample, the probabilities would all still balance out to 1 in 7.
- Comment on What do you do when you're lacking direction in life? 2 weeks ago:
Find some organizations you’d be interested in volunteering with and pull up their websites to find out what they need. Some will list it on their websites, but for others you might have to send an email or submit an application first. Yes, some organizations will ask their volunteers for a minimum commitment since training takes effort, but others will have opportunities for you to commit one day at a time.
A friend of mine volunteers at a local food bank and also a tiny home building group, and just signs up for random shifts here & there when their availability matches the scheduling needs. Me personally, I’ve been volunteering to foster cats for years now. The organization I’m with also needs volunteers for a variety of administrative roles, driving/transportation, and trapping (TNR). There’s another group I’ve been meaning to check out that just does some park maintenance once a month, and their info page says “no RSVP necessary”, so you can just show up.
- Comment on How/why does Microsoft teams exist? 3 weeks ago:
Huh. I’m unemployed & job hunting right now, and have had a few interviews via Teams. I’m running Mint and using the Teams web app in Firefox, and for some reason, the sound has never worked properly, so we’ve ended up switching to phone each time. The sound works fine in Zoom. My next interview expects to conduct it via Teams video, so I found a friend with Teams to help me troubleshoot later today. I was thinking maybe it was a Firefox problem, but it works fine in Firefox for you?

Joke’s on them! They’re annoying me into saving my money!

Wait, for real? Is that an actual thing? I zoomed in trying to figure out what that is, and that was my conclusion, but I also concluded that I couldn’t possibly be right…

2 eggshells of water
What a random measurement! Does that mean just half the shell, full of water, twice? I realize precision here is probably unnecessary, but my brain is just really struggling!

I was so confused, trying to figure out why anyone would want to grind up Smarties on their pizza.

- Comment on hey wallmart, this milk went bad 5 months ago:
Ahhh… Yeah, I’m not big on ice cream or milk (but love cheese, which it seems they don’t sell), so that would explain why I’m only vaguely aware of the name.
- Comment on hey wallmart, this milk went bad 5 months ago:
It seems I’ve lived most of my life in the small part of the world where they distribute, so I’ve definitely seen the name on the store shelves often. Still had to look it up though, because who actually pays attention to that? Haha.

Maybe I’m just too high, but I’m a bit annoyed that her soccer teammates are such mean girls. Like, I know teenage girls are stupid mean, but that’s gotta be pretty tough for her to have such judgemental “friends”.

“No show” socks have been a thing for quite some time, so…?

Ashamed American here and I assume your comment was in French, and those are the only two things I have even the vaguest clue how to pronounce in French (but I had to look up the spelling!)
Funny enough, as you suggested, I popped your text into a translator after typing out the above and using my limited second language knowledge, and it turns out, I managed to get the general gist of it without the help of a translator!

A few drops of lemon juice helps cut the bitterness. Just be careful about adding milk or cream!

Um source on the lifetime thing? My understanding is that it’s more like 7 or 10 years, but also that the border agent has some discretion. I had a DUI quite some time ago and went to Canada around the 7 year mark without any trouble, lawyers, etc.
- Comment on PSA on privuhcy 6 months ago:
The way I’ve always figured it out is by deleting some, then loading the page in a different browser or an incognito window, and repeat until the URL is as minimal as possible, while still loading correctly. For websites you use regularly, you’ll figure it out pretty quickly.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 6 months ago:
I don’t actually do all that many image searches. I’m usually searching for text based pages, and those results have also gotten super terrible, but this doesn’t seem to have any impact on that.
- Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers 6 months ago:
But what about all the AI slop in the web results?
