He doesn't really fight other cats around here, and if he does it's some punk new cat to the street lol. Gruffy cat is the king cat here.

We've taken him in as much as we can. We feed him and maintain the spots he likes to chill at in our yard. He won't come in the house, doesn't want to πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ it can get a little chilly in winter so last year we set up a bed with a heating pad out on the front porch for him and he likes that.

If we were to take him to the local shelter, they would put him down. There are plenty of stray cats around here. Most older "rescues" get put down because they can't handle being confined.

The neighbors and us like him here. He catches mice and gophers. He gets lots of treats, food, water, and pats when he wants them.

I'm a 36G and wear the bra because it's super annoying to have them sway when I walk. That's the main reason for me. I find it more comfortable to be braless, but I really shouldn't do it in public. It's attracts more attention than I usually want.

Hi! The proposal itself should be a surprise, but the fact you are proposing should not. You and your partner should discuss marriage and be on the same page on what you want from the relationship before you take that step.

These are the tenets of The Satanic Temple (TST) not the Church of Satan. They are different.

It's almost as if I'm back browsing Reddit again.

Unions only work when union leadership is actually working for the betterment of the entire unit, rather than personal clout. I was in a union that ran well, protected employees, and had a great working relationship with management. Issues were handled efficiently and effectively with the contract in place. Then union leadership changed because a retiree rallied to become president, and the effective president stopped trying so hard because of it. So leadership changed and that union went downhill. Current leadership handles issues so poorly, nothing gets resolved and raises are not going to be as high as they could have been negotiated too. The current leadership values the provided lunches at the negotiation meetings over discussion of the actual topics, and working together to come to an agreement for everyone.

Another union I was a part of prior to that was for a big box wholesale store. I was sexually harassed in front of customers by another union member. The meetings were facilitated by management and the union. Management had my side on the issue, but the union advocated for the harasser due to years of service and seniority. They couldn't even guarantee I wouldn't work with him again. I eventually left that job, for multiple reasons, but a big one was that experience really broke me. I never felt comfortable working around that person and knowing that my voice would always be lesser compared to anyone who had just worked there longer.
