Nice snowtography

Ah, I see. I would argue it’s a bigger jump than how you’re presenting it, but your point makes a lot more sense to me now. Thanks for the elaboration!

“Mars has been making pet foods for over thirty years. Branching into pet care isn’t a huge stretch.”

I made a matching comparison to human food and human medical care. To my reading, it’s exactly the same, and I don’t understand your reply now. But I admit I’m curious to the distinction you’re seeing, if you’re willing to elaborate.

General Mills has made food for a long time, but if they wanted to open a hospital and do surgery on me, I think that would indeed be a huge stretch.

People at VCA are doing their best, I personally know this to be true. But the dystopian corporate bullshit they have to deal with is epic. These people are worse off for VCA being their boss, I promise you.

Are you sure they’re independent? A lot of these chains (Thrive, Lakefield, etc) have gotten clever and let the hospitals keep their historic name after purchase. These private equity groups own every hospital but 2 or 3 in my immediate area.

Thank you so much, I was worried I’d have to scale back my gaming significantly

Do you have a recommended flavor of Linux for gaming?

I’ve been struggling with figuring out how to get google off my phone. I don’t know if I’m doing a bad job of searching or if I’m just dumb, but are there any good communities in Lemmy you can recommend on the topic?

And then vinyl again. Time is a vinyl.

This is funny. I live in an area that’s pretty remote, and my internet speed is sometimes very shit, so I never realized I’m getting fucked on my picture quality by using firefox.

It might be quicker to list the subreddits where this doesn’t happen

I got my jobs from Steve wait I did this wrong

They get their plastr on

I mean, yes? Are there jackasses, douchebags, and shitbirds out there I should be worried about offending?

Monks are celibate. But if someone were to transcribe that incorrectly…
