I like taking a feel of different materials and objects with a hand/fingers. It’s kind of a grown-up version for the “put it in your mouth to get a feel of it” I think?
they’re usually sitting out in the open collecting water and each time I slapped them, some water would get ont my hands and sometimes even clothes etc. wouldn’t recommend unless you want to be soaked in brown stinky water
Between 2012 and 2016, the “Starlight tours” section of the Saskatoon Police Service’s English Wikipedia article was deleted several times. An internal investigation revealed that two of the edits originated from a computer within the police service
Remember to reference primary sources for this reason!
It’s funny you mention this, because a few days ago I went to my local market to grab milk, and the regular milk was more expensive that the plant-based milk…never thought I’d see this day in the US!
Serious question though, is it a render or AI? I’m inclined to think render because of the consistency for both front and rear views of the same model, usually AI slips up and makes things somewhat different. Thoughts?
idk I’m no expert but generating something that doesn’t actually exist with AI often leads to unexpected/unwanted results. How would you even make a prompt for this? “Woman with four legs”? Good luck with that.
<span style="color:#323232;">create an image of a human on all fours but the parts above the chest are replaced with another human in standing position
</span>
Bing image creator just fails to create an image at all
Your prompt has got to be more descriptive. For example “woman centaur, human legs”. However this prompt is simply generating women on horseback for me. It’s hard for AI to imagine a horse with human legs.
I’ve been wondering this, but never really looked into the matter: Is spaying/neutering really an ethical thing to do? Doesn’t it affect cats in some negative way, besides taking away their ability to reproduce?
I’ve been thinking about adopting cats, which would be sterile anyway, but it doesn’t exactly seem like a nice thing to do if you can avoid it : \
I can’t imagine removing a healthy part of the endocrine system has good results in the long term. If it’s an option, perhaps an ovarian preserving spay, or a vasectomy, would be in order. Though not many vets in the US offer such procedures. If only we could be more like Germany…
I was adopted by a stray kitten and had her spayed when she was old enough. A friend told me I had taken away her “choice” to reproduce. I asked her how many of my cat’s hypothetical offspring she was willing to adopt - there would be I guess an annual litter of four or more to choose from. Yeah no.
In the end I moved countries and gave the cat away. I would never have another one, nice as she was. There’s a family of voles living in my garden, half a dozen frogs in the pond and lots of birds visit my trees. I support them mainly by leaving them to go about their business.
It reduces suffering of potential unwanted offspring and the suffering of local bird populations so I would argue that it’s unethical to not spay or neuter your cat, even if the individual cat suffers a bit from it.
I think there is an interesting argument on whether it’s ethical to keep pets at all however
I had an indoor female cat that I left unfixed. In about three years of getting into heat without getting pregnant, her hormones went wild. She was in constant heat, losing weight, getting gland flare-ups and other serious health problems. In the end I had to have her fixed to save her. If I did it in the beginning, it would have been much less suffering for her.
#1 Pets are like teenagers, they are gonna try to have sex without you knowing.
#2 I don’t think it’s healthy or ethical to keep an animal indoors 24/7. Even pet animals need unstructured (not unsupervised) time outside to have play and use their instinct beyond just taking them for a walk. I’d apply that equal to dogs and cats although it’s probably more important for dogs.
An open area where he can run around is probably best. Depends on where you live and your cat’s preferences. I’ve heard of cats that have no desire to leave the house and others that will dart out the door at any opportunity. If you have an apartment or no fence in the back yard then it’s not a great option. Some cats do like to walk, our neighbors’ cat usually joins us on our nightly walks through the neighborhood. Off a leash of course.
Is it ethical to “adopt” a cat? My cat lives a good life, she is old and healthy and well feed, never having to worry about anything. But it is ethical to own another living being, even if you offer it the best possible life it can have in return? I really don’t know.
But if you do adopt a cat, I think you need to do everything that ensures the cat has a healthy life, like getting shots and check ups etc. Neutering the cat is also an important part of keeping it healthy. After all, it greatly reduces the risk of either gender getting cancer in their reproductive organs and a lot of other issues.
