Yeah, but that discussion can still be legally problematic.

Cats have an average lifespan of about 15 years, so it’s doubling from 15 to 30 on average.

Most cats do die of kidney related issues, so by addressing that very common cause of death with cats, you’re effectively doubling the average lifespan still.

Yes!

John Green and Nerdfighteria was able to pressure Johnson and Johnson to give millions access to life saving tuberculosis medication

There was a breakthrough in cat medicine research that is showing promising results in doubling the lifespan of cats.

My local cat shelter, if I ever become rich I’m setting myself up to donate there as often as I can afford.

The few people I know with this issue fall into one of two categories.

1. Access issues. There are some kinds of road blocks accessing a quality shower/bath. Which makes showering/bathing is an uncomfortable activity for some reason. Maybe it’s that their shower is really small and cramped, with a low quality shower head. Maybe it’s an issue where the water quality is low in the shower they have access to. Low quality water can have an odor people find uncomfortable, or it can dry out their skin making their skin feel dry even while under the water. People naturally avoid things that make them uncomfortable even subconsciously.

2. Mental Health. I suffer from this occasionally. I love showering, it’s extremely relaxing, but for whatever reason the process of getting into the shower is such a huge barrier to overcome. You feel like absolute dog shit. You know that a shower would make you feel better, but for whoever reason no matter how hard you try, you cannot push through the transition of wanting to shower, to taking that first step towards doing it. And it all compounds together to make you feel like an even bigger piece of shit for not being able to do something so basic. Until eventually you’ve doom scrolled the entire day away and now it’s dark out and you’re tired and you’ve got a stress headache because you’ve barely even ate today either while you just stewed in your own filth.

Grew a Pokémon GO community, became a Pokémon GO community ambassador, quit my job, struggled with unemployment and having no work available in my field locally, and seemingly no one but super shady people willing to hire remotely anymore.

Pixel’s all screening from Google has pretty much completely solved my spam call issue.

Set it up to screen every single call from anyone who is not in my contacts, And I haven’t had to miss any important unexpected calls, or answer any spam calls, in months

Eh, apples and oranges.

They’re both AR-Geo games, built on the same engine, but they have TOTALLY different gameplay loops.

Ingress is a team turf war.

Pokemon Go is at its core a collection game.

What if you take a shit, turn around, and find 2 billion dollars in the toilet?

The problem isn’t a billionaire that’s done anything good, the problem is a billionaire who has done more good things than bad.

Those don’t exist.

There’s no amount of good you can do to make up for the amount of exploitation you had to do in order to get to be a billionaire.

It doesn’t mean that a billionaire can’t do anything good. It just means the world would still be better off without them.

You are right to consider the age gap, I would say the best bet for you to mitigate your concerns is to not put any sort of commitment in place until she’s old enough that you’re not concerned about the age gap anymore.

At 19 years old, you’re not even old enough to drink if you’re interested the US. I would probably say give her until 22 before you do anything that’s going to evolve any sort of commitment or possible long-term consequence for either of you. In the meantime, there’s nothing wrong with some low commitment dating.

I thought that during commercial breaks the characters in the show I was watching were still doing things and I was missing it because the commercials were not pausing the show in the background but playing over top of it.

I think the problem is that because of the way that the fediverse, they ARE hosting the content. They effectively copy the content from that community onto their server to distribute it to all the users of their lemmy instance. So from a legal perspective they are hosting the content and they would be held liable for a distributing it.
