I hear you.

I couldn’t reply in The Thread(TM) but I’m one of the fairly new arrivals. I’ve observed a shift even since i joined.

The population increase has brought with it a change of tone. Couple that with people confusing social media with reality and it’s a recipe for troubles.

Omg I was just complaining to my wife about this. They implemented the same thing at my Walmart recently and I think it’s absurd.

When we first rescued my boy Kit from an abuse situation, this was his favorite way to sleep. He would just rumble peacefully in my arms. It’s one of my favorite things about him. He doesn’t do it much anymore but it was nice that he felt safe enough with us for that at the time

Eating too much cake is the sin of gluttony. However, eating too much pie is okay because the sin of pi is always zero.
