Hey, you! Yea, you reading this.

This scan won’t work on you. The app will get lost in your eyes. 😏

The BBC link is broken.

The others are both US based. What did I just say above?

Are you from New Zealand or are you also American?

EDIT: Here, this is New Zealand - https://www.companionanimals.nz/articles/new-research-sheds-light-on-kiwi-attitudes-to-outdoor-access-for-cats

Are you one of the few cat owners in New Zealand who don’t want their cats outdoors? Is that who I’m talking to? Else I’m not gonna bother.

Fuck you, asshole. I’m blocking you.

Home Alone 7: Everyone Dies for Real

Cite me your high-quality research then.

FUUUUUUUUCK. I’m putting on a pot of coffee. Looks like I’ll be here all night. This is the 1000th fucking time I have this fucking argument. It’s just impossible with these people (Americans, in this case? I suppose? That was the case on Bluesky). Their heads are so deeply shoved up their own asses. They just have to be fucking right about everything. No matter how lightly and politely you go into this argument it just immediately turns into bullshit and shaming and pompous crap. Trap your fucking cat in your house in whatever swamp filled with alligators you live in and shut the fuck up. How hard is it to understand that different places in the world have different situations and rules?

Holy fuck we should just all not have cats so everybody shuts the fuck up, I swear to christ… It’s like discussing religion

EDIT: Actually no, fuck this, I am not doing this again. I am leaving with this: would you rather live 100 years safely trapped in your house or live a normal 50 years? And now I’ll leave before someone gives me some “Well actually I like being indoors, I love my booooks and my moooovies and my snaaaacks” and makes my eyes roll back into my skull.

Downvote the fuck away. I know this whole-ass site is US-dominated. At least I’m calm enough to not forget cultural differences are a thing. I don’t give a fuck anymore. I’ll go outside and pet the strays and ferals I shelter that I didn’t buy from a fucking cat factory to keep as a toy like most of y’all judgemental asses. Literally the reason I even have cats is cause other people treated them like shit in the first place. Total fucking crap. Nobody has shit on me. Enjoy your president, geniuses.

EDIT 2: Oh and one more fucking thing. If you live in a place that’s unsafe to keep a cat or has endangered bird species, the solution is not to SELFISHLY get a cat anyway and keep it indoors. It’s to NOT HAVE A CAT. That has been my opinion before I ever even had a cat. I did not have a cat in the city. I adopted ferals on a farm. This SELFISHNESS is why “indoor extremists” exist in the first place. You shouldn’t have a cat in the first place. This is why your view on this issue is exasperating and lacks nuance.

This is a good read: https://www.kinship.com/uk/cat-lifestyle/outdoor-cats-uk

As a result of this intrinsic desire and innate survival ability, 70% of domestic cats in the UK live an indoor/outdoor hybrid lifestyle, with charities such as Cats Protection and Battersea actively recommending that cats have access to the great outdoors for their well-being (much like us needing our little daily walks for our mental health). Zoe explains that because cats are solitary survivors, they learn using both observational learning and trial and error, and when they have the opportunity to try something new and gain a positive outcome (like jumping over a garden fence), they remember that experience and adapt accordingly. “So with this in mind, allowing a cat to free roam could lead to a favourable outcome for their emotional and physical wellbeing,” she says.

In contrast, in the US, 70% of cats are kept indoors, or if they are let outside, it’s within the confines of a secure garden or catio (this is also for their well-being, but for different reasons, which we’ll get into later). Or take the town of Walldorf in Germany as an example, which previously had a fine in place of up to €500 for cat parents letting their cat outside, due to the risk of death to the endangered ground-nesting crested lark – and those cat parents could even risk being fined up to €50,000 if their cat injured or killed one of the birds.

sigh Americans, man… always the contrarians. First 1776, now this.

EDIT: Jokes aside, this article is quite comprehensive, and every time I see people arguing about this online - and that’s oddly frequent - I wish they’d read this article first. Cause fact of the matter is it’s different for every cat owner. If you’re letting your cat outdoors in central New York or some desert that’s full of coyotes, you’re wrong. If you’re not letting your cat out where I’m at (rural, no predators) you’re wrong. Generally speaking, it’s actually stunning how quickly most online arguments end once you add context to them.

EDIT 2: I am not even fucking kidding, if any of you downvote this before reading that article you are literally what’s wrong with the internet. Do it. Read it. This must end, dammit. The outdoor vs indoor cat thing must END. I am tired. The flesh AND the mind ARE BOTH WEAK.

Thank you, come again

Crime seems so easy

To think I’m here, working my ass off and still broke, when I could be swimming in “These pills will grow your dick by 3 inches” money

Most I’ve done simultaneously is play drums with my feet while I play guitar and sing, but I don’t have any recordings of it (never did it on stage)

I have some old stuff here but it’s not full band: https://stitchintime.bandcamp.com/

I have a full band record that I’m working on at the moment. It may see the light of day by the end of the year. It’ll be on Bandcamp, possibly under a different name, and will defo be here: https://m.youtube.com/@SethTaylor

EDIT: And here https://lemmy.world/c/nooutlinesband

No downvotes

Finally, we all agree on something

I’m the only guy in my band because I’m the only member of my band

EDIT: Oh, it says GANG-BANG. Well that’s different.

EDIT 2: No, wait, actually it’s not. I’m alone in my gang-bang too.

Who’s your distributor? I used SongTradr for a while and I’m looking for a new one for my next release

Spot deez nuts!

I don’t have a lot to give in this world. Despite working hard I’m not earning much, but I believe it’s important for each and every one of us to give a little of the little we have. So today I give you my downvote. Please take good care of it.

Joke’s on you. I enjoyed that.

There are worse ways to “drown in debt”
