never bought

I’d call them a lying sack of shit, quite honestly, because the best marketing is subliminal and can create a desire that you might not notice for a while or in a different environment. You don’t have to click on an ad or immediately jump on Amazon to be affected by marketing. But the fact that you might remember the name of a certtain product when you go to the store and buy that type of cereal or simply yearning for a certain type of phone or shoes or car means that marketing is indeed working on that person.

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.

Marketing is a $1/4 TRILLION industry in the US alone because it works. Thinking that you are immune to it for one reason or another is laughable. In fact those that think they are immune to it, probably are the most susceptible to it’s pull.

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.

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.

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.)

What if you take two?

I replied to someone from NL and they said they got .21 Euro per km. I asked if they essentially got a raise if they moved further away. This sounds all ridiculous. If it costs $X to commute, then just negotiate a salary that is $X much more per year. I’ll figure out how I get to world.

And if you move? Do you essentially get a raise?

This system seems fraught with errors and corruption, quite frankly, amd seems like it would be infinitely easier to just pay the person a better salary to compensate and let them figure it out.

I asked that question rhetorically. I was actually going to list a bunch of other questions as well to show how difficult this could turn out being, showing how stupid the idea is. What if one person is 15 miles away but no car, versus someone 40 miles away with a car? Or 2 people are the same distance away but one drives and the other doesn’t? Do they get the same amount? What if someone moves further away… does that mean they get a raise?

I already answered. This is idiotic. No one does this.

This is idiotic. No one compensates employees for their commute.

So many ridiculous variables that would need to be factored in and so much room for abuse. Are they going to be compensated based on distance or time?

Is it expensive because it is higher quality, or is it expensive because of marketing BS?

I could absolutely see very expensive ones being the price they are simply because of marketing, but mid-tier brands can be very good. I personally swear by the one that advertises individually wrapped coils (I think Sealy). Have one now and had one before and they are incredibly comfy. I do not think the foam ones are particularly good.

Hell fucken no.

This is WAY too open ended, dude.

Ya gotta give us something to go by. Do you have money to spend on a hobby? What are you into? Do you have a specific goal?

Without that info, I’d say watch documentaries and how-to videos on YouTube. There’s so much trash out there, but there is also an enormous amount of great stuff.

The red menace is the fascists of the Republican Party, but your last post said all I needed to hear to know you’re a clueless edgel0rd.

Hey comrade, why don’t you book a flight to the communist utopia of North Korea and leave the the evil capitalistic countey you live in now?

At 40 years old, they have one of the world’s youngest leaders. Way to represent Millenials, Kim!

Oh here we go!

This level of disconnect from reality is painful. Why don’t you just hand the keys to our government to the Red Menace now and be done with it? Why even pretend?

Is the door that is being slammed a common door (like in the common hallway) you have access to? If so, install a damper on the door so it slowly closes. The more he pushes, the more it fights him.

If yiu don’t have access to the door, then get anti vibration levelers for your bed. There are lots of different ones. Some go under the existing leveler feet, while others would replace the leveler feet altogether so just make sure the thread is the same size. The rubber that these vibration isolators use varies in hardness. It might take some experimenting but you want a rubber that is soft enough that it compresses some when the weight of the bed and you are on it, but not so soft that it bottoms out.

Maybe don’t take your knowledge of US politics from TVs and movies. It’s not that complicated and that’s one of the reasons why there are political parties - it is pretty reasonable to assume that if one is registered as a Democrat then they follow most democratic party ideals. And if they are registered as a Republican, then they are a worthless piece of shit. It makes picking your candidate easier even ot is an imperfect system.
