    I remember years ago being super depressed and just in my bed and my limbs feeling weighed down and then my cat comes over and she wants attention she’s licking my hand so i pet her and that bit of moving slowly got me sitting up and out of bed.

    sometimes i think it’d be nice to have a program that subsidizes care of pets for people who are helped by them (and not abusive, obviously) but can’t afford them. there were cats at the alzheimer care place my grandmother lived at, and my grandmother adored them and it made her final year less of a misery for her.

    anyway, this manga makes me remember stuff like that, so that’s nice. since it’s 2AM and my current cat decided it was time to yell and now i’m wide awake. cats being annoying is good…sometimes…

    I don’t particularly care about the downvoting, but I do prefer bidirectional blocking when possible. Obviously a public profile is still visible, but if someone blocked had to make a new account to interact with you, that’d be nice.

    That’s just a preference. Whatever the consensus is, I’ll be fine with it. The most important thing is that it’s clear and known how it works. Someone with a stalker should quickly be able to get how things work to decide if they want to be on here.

    Promote policies that benefit everyone. By promoting policies such as hybrid work and parental leave that benefit everyone, workplaces will attract and retain a more diverse workforce, which leads to greater innovation. Encourage men to take advantage of these policies and ensure your company culture makes it acceptable to do so. This enables men to actually experience the benefit of these initiatives. Align efforts around shared values – such as the desire for healthier families, better education or stronger economies.

    i like that it acknowledges that the work culture also needs to encourage men to take parental leave. just having it available doesn’t help if a guy knows it will be considered negatively and possibly hinder advancement.

    I’m not attempting to guilt anyone. I apologize if it seemed that way.

    This was mostly notice to myself to avoid these comment sections, so I’d see my comment in my profile and remember not to click certain articles. If someone describes the pain in detail they wish on him and it’s relevant to my uncle’s illness, i will imagine my uncle experiencing that pain. i just will, and i see no need to train myself out of it. there’s no value in that, for me. I like reading news comments, so I’ll often just click an article I see with them without thinking.

    It’s none of my business what you post.

    I’ve replayed some of them, but as stories, basically, with a guide. As a kid, me and my sister had tons of fun figuring out what worked in the text parser and what didn’t. every new screen we unlocked was fascinating and nervewracking. we absolutely never finished them. we would mess around and then my sister would attempt the puzzle that involved reflexes, since i was younger. we died so so so many times.

    the closest i got to winning one was years later. the one with the owl companion?? still, i got really far and then discovered i’d failed the game hours earlier by not picking up an item. i went and played something else. when i replayed them with guides, i was an adult, and some of it was cute, but you can’t get back the brain you had as a kid that found them fascinating.
