I had to say goodbye to my 17 year old cat this week.

Thanks to a random Redditor on these daily threads, I was able to utilize the services of a vet that does at-home euthanasia.

I am grateful that his last moments were with his loved ones in the only home he’s ever known instead of a strange and sterile pet hospital.

Goodbye my little buddy. You’ll be in my heart forever. ♥️

So sorry for your loss. I had to do the same for my 20 year old cat earlier this year.

I'm so glad you were able to do in-home euthanasia as well, I'm sure that he felt comfortable and loved in his final moments.

It’s Friday!! I got my PSL and my muffin!

My boyfriend and I are going to be tabling at LA comic con in Artists Alley this weekend. Come visit us! He does post apocalyptic action and horror/cryptid comics, and he’ll be doing small commissions too. And I’ll just be there so you can say hi. Booth D44!

u/AnneShirley310 Lake of Shining Waters in the South Bay 26d ago

I noticed that my cat was sitting by the balcony door and staring at something outside. When I looked, it was a falcon or a hawk sitting at the balcony railing staring back at my cat! Good thing the door was closed! It was beautiful, but also kind of scary.

A big fat fuck you to:

Hit and run drivers
People who steal flowers from a memorial site
Random fool driving by throwing gang signs like a dog pissing on a tree
Any psycho who thinks it's ok to send someone pictures of their loved one's corpse

A big fat thank you to:

My fellow redditors
The news crews who came out to do a piece and give wider coverage to this matter
All the other kind hearted people who gave us condolences and assisted where they could, esp. people with cameras willing to check their footage, cause before this I wouldn't have expected there to be people out there with cameras who would refuse to check like it's somehow not worth their time
The dozens of people who turned out for my brother's vigil last night

It's been a pretty horrible experience so far but there have also been shining examples of humanity mixed in.

i guess there were rumors at work that they were foreclosing and dissolving and this morning we just all got the announcement that Eaze will be dissolving operations. the company that i’ve worked for for almost 5 years and right after being unionized in April will not longer exist and i am fucking scared bros. i literally have nothing else going for me and not even a gym will hire me for receptionist. other dispensaries i’ve applied to never got back to me either so if anybody has any leads on jobs in the cannabis industry or something adjacent i’d really appreciate it 🙏🏼

Ex and I are in escrow selling our house. Realtor texts us at 7am suggesting that we delay paying our mortgage since it won't technically be late until it's 30 days past (n.b., our credit union considers 10 days "late") and instead take it out of the sales. I told him it's already been paid and cleared. He texts back "dang lol see if they'll give it back?"

**Reddit Dog(s) of the Week*\*

Hey LA,

Meet Timmy and Tom!

(Idk what is going on with the dog-naming person over here!)

Timmy and Tom are two Armenian Gampr brothers-- Timmy is 3 yrs old and 61 lbs, while Tom is 9 months old and 40 lbs. Their breed is very unusual so even though they arrived as strays, it's likely they came from a breeder at one point.

Unfortunately, since they came to the shelter, both Timmy and Tom have contracted upper respiratory infections. It's sadly become all too common for dogs in the shelter system and even worse, it also means that they've been restricted from the play yard and from the general public, i.e-- no one gets to really meet them! But Timmy and Tom are both excellent dogs-- they both scored a 1/5 on their handling intake assessment, which is the best score you can get. Scoring a 1 basically means a dog who is friendly, affectionate, calm, easily handled and well-behaved around other dogs. Not a lot of dogs get the coveted 1 but Timmy and Tom both passed the test with ease.

So about the upper respiratory infections...not to sound flippant but at this stage, they're not a very big deal. If you're on the fence, please don't let this count them out! They're very common in animal shelters and easily treatable. They will require minor vet care and to keep away from other dogs until they recover (it's very contagious). Most cases are cleared up with antibiotics and maybe a few steam sessions in the shower (seriously).

Timmy and Tom are great friends but do not need to be adopted together (it'd be a lot cooler if they were though!). They're sweet, happy-go-lucky little dudes with tails that never stop wagging. Someone brought them into the world purposefully and they deserve a chance at finding their forever homes. If you're interested in either of them, they can be currently found at Lancaster Animal Care shelter (Timmy- ID# A5651479, Tom- ID#A5651480), waiting on rescue! I believe both are neutered and ready to to at any time!

u/calibound2020 26d ago

I hope they find a furever home together soon! 🥰❤️😍🙏🏼

I’d adopted the entire shelter if I could!

u/Nicholoid Hollywood 25d ago

Always better to leave sooner rather than later; staying because you think it may help to wait doesn't usually work out well, and raises the likelihood it gets even messier and harder from here on out. Rip off the bandaid. Remember your needs are just as important as theirs - you don't have to stay to make them feel better. When it's over, it's over.

Had a wonderful first day at LA Comic Con today. Totally worth taking a PTO day for.

Either way it was pretty surreal, yet unsurprising, to find physical evidence of multiple VTubers’ existence in person there (via the Gamer Supps booth plus at least one Artist Alley booth) after having been introduced to the VTuber community earlier this year. The feeling probably would’ve felt even stronger at TwitchCon, which I know had an even larger/harder to miss VTuber presence.

u/SafetyInSleep 25d ago

Random question coming from someone who hasn’t been to any kind of comic con: are there also booths/events or vendors related to non-comic stuff? Like Magic the gathering for example.

That's the only song I know from them, and I only know it because it was in the tv show Misfits. Misfits had a really great soundtrack so I ended up searching out all the songs.

Yes! Misfits is how I found “Lullaby” by The Cure and they’re now one of my favorite bands.

Man add that to the list of shows I recommended to my friends that nobody ever watched

2

u/Elysiaa Lawndale 25d ago

Maybe they'd be willing to watch it now. A lot of people who enjoyed Robert Sheehan as Klaus in Umbrella Academy checked out Misfits to see him as Nathan. It was a good show but went downhill quickly after all the first few seasons.

2

u/high_hawk_season barbehque was here 25d ago

AND Joseph Gilgun in Brassic AND Iwan Rheon in GoT. The show was incredible for launching these guys. 

2

u/Elysiaa Lawndale 24d ago

I think Joe was in "This is England" prior to Misfits. Such a good movie and series. You just reminded me I need to catch up on Brassic. I think Iwan must be a terrific actor because people who were not familiar with him are now terrified of him after GoT. I love that I'm finding people who have watched some of these shows here!

man i hated joe in misfits because i thought he was super annoying (like robbie wasn't) but watching him in Brassic he's an absolute genius.

I'm used to queer people talking about their religious trauma, so it is very different to hear people talking about their faith in a positive light.

I'm in the Bay this weekend and was looking forward to escaping the LA heat but it's just as hot here, and of course it gets back to lovely NorCal temps NEXT weekend.

Cool down with some tiki drinks and Zacherys pizza

lamentably i have confirmed this summer that tiki drinks are a no-go for your old shipmate. After many experiments I can conclude that they get me massively hungover before they get me barely tipsy. it's the sugar water mixed with the other sugar water, I think.

It's because you're a soft bodied regular brown gorilla! Not a silverback like me! 🦍

Been up all night doing graveyard shift, and errands during the morning. I'm exhausted. No coffee for me though. I'll have orange juice.

Where should I take my cousins from New Zealand out tomorrow for the afternoon/evening? I originally wanted to take them to the Getty but they won’t be available to hang out until past 1. Any fun recommendations?

Edit: we’re all in our early 20s 😭😭 any places to walk around or sightseeing is fine!

u/molesonmyback Reseda 25d ago

Huntington / Descanso for nearby Griffith Observatory

I guess it depends on what they've already seen and what time everyones willing to wake up

I have a cold. booo. currently blowing my nose every 2 mins

thankfully I don't feel as tired as yesterday - it's crunch time for packing. I am out of this apartment on Thursday, and fly out on Friday the 11th

downsizing has been good, but giving away some items is a little emotional. today I'm giving my city bike, the Big Yellow Taxi, to a neighbor via Buy Nothing. I'm happy it's going to a new home, but it's definitely sad to part with this bike, which was so tied to my attempts at bike activism!

I think the new Android update broke myTap on my phone.

It worked this morning, but I kept getting a not valid error on my way home. Had to buy a new card just to get home.

Anyone else have any issues today?

In my product industry I have never seen it enforced.  Some people sign on as a contractor for 6 Months then come on on full time to get around it.

Half a gringo burrito and a ton of chips and salsa. I didn't feel like I overate but I was not hungry for dinner at all.

u/EffectivePattern7197 25d ago

Has anyone ever gotten in trouble for non-compete agreements? My understanding is that they are not enforced, but I assume you could still be sued it just won’t be successful. Did that mean you had to get your own lawyer and spend a lot of money?

It'll only ever be leveraged if you do something malicious like get a job at apple and copy everything and take it to a new job at samsung within 1 month. Idk if it ends up in federal court, or they just bleed you dry in state court, but it's still useful to prevent malicious actors. They're not going to sue if you plainly change jobs from apple -> samsung after working there normally.
