They do make things a lot easier. The big thing it solves is forgetting, which can cause massive thousands of dollars problems.  $700 is a lot though.

Not for my cat, it isn't. 3:<

 

I mean, it is, but... I'd rather spend money on my cat than anything else.

What if that $700 needs to be spent on things like bills or rent or human sustenance level food?  A luxury, but a first tier luxury for some, perhaps.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

Cat food, baby food, and diapers are some of the most shoplifted items.  Cigarettes aren’t mostly because they’re kept behind the counter as a matter of course.  Those other things are following them as behind counter items though.  Time for a toilet company to get involved and produce flushing automatic litter boxes I think.  They’ll sell better than biddets.

Hah I believe it. I don't have kids, never will, so that's an easy one for me. Never smoked. And never shoplifted anything. Never even been tempted to, actually. I have a deeply ingrained mentality that 'that item belongs to someone else, I will not take it because it doesn't belong to me, unless I pay for it'.

 

Joking aside, when I was living with two cats and my ex, we literally prioritized our cat's well-being over our own. We bought cat food, then went to the food bank for ourselves at one point. Not long after, I had stable income, and it became a moot point, but the food bank certainly saved us a lot of trouble.

 

Now I have a job making enough that I can live comfortably, I just need to deal with other crap and then I can get a cat again.

 

After all, I want to be a Cat Couch when I grow up. :3

Of course. Cat owners willing to spend the money on their pets, cats are totally worth it.

 

Hopefully, I can get an auto litter box when I get a cat again... When we have transporter technology, I hope I can just teleport cat poo straight to the bin. Then I'll get 6 cats.

haha yes, teleport cat poo to the bin 😄 I'm guessing you have a cat like ours, yes, she goes in the litter box sometimes, but quite often I'll see evidence of her having gone somewhere else.  And who knows where she might have gone under some furniture or behind a pile of random stuff in the living room (which actually used to be a garage, but that was a long time ago, it was already converted before my parents moved here in 1978.)

More times than I can count or remember, I've been sitting at my PC, looked over where her litter box is, and seen her squatting on the step literally ONE FOOT / 30 cm from the litter box, OUTSIDE the box, looking right at it! 😱

I caption this “I’d really rather be on the ground over there”

I caption this photo series “zero fucks given”. The cat clearly doesn’t care.

Candy in her natural habitat.

 

Edit: I know that the pics ain't the best lighting-wise. I like to keep my place quite dark because of migraines. Usually the only light in the bedroom (which is where my desk is located) is from the computer monitors that all have f.lux on them, keyboard, TV, phone screen, and Hue Play Bars attached to the back of my main monitor.

Chi stands (sits) in the way of democracy.

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
