If this continues with a new litterbox with a cover, then you should consider bringing them to a vet. Cats are very clean animals so if they are pooping outside the box, it is usually for a good reason.

They might still have mobility issues. If you don’t want to cut the front of the litterbox open to make it lower and bigger, than maybe get a piece of wood or a brick or something else to act like a step to make it easier for them to get into the box.

Also, I assume the litterbox isn’t just the bottom. Those are usually terrible. I am guessing that there is a top/cover to it, right? They could be pooping in the box near the edge and it just falls out if there is no cover.

I like how they are just trying to normalize all this.

“OH that? Oh, that’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

Why would some “innocent” person be lifting a knife at all, let alone to a cop?

We going to pretend that knives aren’t deadly? Especially at close range?

Is the cat older? My oldest cat couldn’t step up into the litter box anymore so I ended up cutting the front of it so the step over was much smaller. You could also put a brick or build a wooden step which makes it easier for her to step into the box. It has to be heavy and sturdy enough to where it won’t move when the cat steps on it.

Also check that the box is clean. I would dump qll the litter and hit the inside with a hose to make sure it is clean. Dey it, and then refill it with fresh litter. And make sure you scoop out all the poop out of it every day. Cats tends to be very clean animals and don’t like a dirty box.

Another thing to consider is if the box is too small for them. One of our cats is rather large so we had to get a larger litter box for them.

Too bad a huge percent of those UAW members will end up voting Trump.

Is this where the line starts?

Many of us knew it was a bullshit excuse.

This fucken clown.

You can thank our society for this bullshit. It is because we put women on a pedestal in our society and men have been relegated to being the butt of jokes or the quiet backbones of the working class who have no right to complain, and if they dare not fit into those two categories, they are then accused of toxic masculinity or something similar.

I could definitely see it being on the top of the list for many people.

They know to fall in-line because a strong Republican Party helps all of them, from the president, all the way down the line to locally elected candidates.

Why can’t Democrats see this?

Oh god. Please aim higher than that. Not saying that Blender ain’t powerful, because it clearly is, but it’s UI is just plain shit. (Unless there have been some massive improvements over the last few years.)

Do they even know that??

Being good for a group of people is not the same as them knowing that you’ve been good for them. This is eternally where Democrats fall flat on their faces.

Sometimes that cheap price ends up coming with a high cost. The US is an auto manufacturing country. Simply letting cheap Chinese cars come here would cost hundreds of thousands of well paying, stable jobs. The same people who feign concern that their iPhone are made with near slave labor in China, will completely forget about those slave labor conditions for their cheap Chinese EV if it saves them a few grand. We have enough stuff made in China. The world is at a level where it is frighteningly dependent on that one country for a whole ton of goods. We don’t need to add cars to that list as well.

But it’s more than just that. We have safety and emissions regulations. The emission thing isn’t a concern for EVs, but that’s kept lesser foreign brands out for decades. The safety thing is incredibly important though. As recently as just a year or two, Chinese cars were folding up like an accordion in similarly stringent European crash tests. We have enough carnage on American roads as it is, we don’t need these poorly engineered Chinese EVs to add to that.

The US government offers EVs a rebate, but that only applies to cars built here. That rebate can really help in lowering the price of EVs down to similar-ish levels as what it would take to ship a Chinese EV over here and sell it. Sort of. Also to sell a vehicle here, you really need a dealership network of some kind. Tesla has shown that it doesn’t need to be a traditional dealer network. It can be more like storefronts, but at some point there has to be some place where consumers can see your product and that costs money and adds to the total cost of a vehicle directly or indirectly. Things do need to get repaired at some point as well, so consumers aren’t going to just buy a car if there isn’t some kind of repair and maintenance facility nearby. Chinese brands lack any of this infrastructure

So China can keep their cars, we don’t need them here.

I find this data very suspect. Greece is one of the poorer countries in the EU and somehow it takes fewer generations than far more rich countries like France and Germany? The only thing that makes sense is that they mention the mean salary, so Greek wages are so low that you don’t need much to get up into the mean salary range, I guess.

What if you take two?

Is kodi something equivalent to retroach or something like that? Any good resources you have used that explain how to set It up?

This is what you get when you push a topic too hard. The blowback ends up solidifying support against a cause.

Democrats don’t just fall for bullshit identity politics, they eagerly lavish being drowned in it. And all the comments in here prove it.

It’s the economy stupid.

That phrase is just as true today, as it was some 30 years ago when it cost Bush Sr a second term. The worst part is that the economy isn’t even bad, rather people have been pulled down by endless doom and gloom talk for the last 2 years about how the economy is just weeks away from collapsing. And with all that negative talk, Dems haven’t bothered to ever go out there and counter it with positive messages. Shit, looking at the posts on Lemmy and the comments in here, these dipshits have been complicit in spreading that message.
