I've been told I'm a person

Human life is more important
than property values.
All human beings deserve to be treated like human beings, not just straight white cisgendered males born in the US or its allies.

Thank you all for your generosity

The ICU care isn't helping. I'm cancelling the gofundme and returning the donations, since the additional funding will not be necessary.

Original post Our cat has been eating very poorly this past week. We hadn't been *too* concerned about it, cause he's got chronic kidney disease, and he's been having a cycle of alternating overeating-undereating for about a year (which CKD is known to cause).

But this past week he's been asking for food and then turning it down, which is new. And a couple days ago he threw up, twice, with no fur in it. Then today he started turning down even his treats. So we took him to the vet.

Turns out he lost 15% of his body weight in the last month, and his kidney function has suddenly nosedived and they want to keep him three to four days to see if aggressive fluids can help him recover. But uh... my credit will be maxed out after just 28 hours. With the help of a direct wire from a personal friend, I can cover today and tomorrow before my credit is maxed out.

Please help. Please, please help give him a fighting chance.
We should find out in the next 12-16 hours if the ICU regime is working. If it isn't, I'll cancel the gofundme and return all donations.
But if it is, $2000 will get him an extra day of critical care.

question for my many followers who love they might be giants far too much

What's your favorite Joke in a tmbg song

just some lyric or moment that is obviously For Comedy and is legitimately that funny

for the record: this was inspired by me listening to Icky and hitting the "I only borrowed one slack" line, which always gets me

I think it's almost definitely "please leave a mess-"

I've always been fond of:

for y = 0 to ScreenHeight
    for x = 0 to ScreenWidth
        if (((x - CenterX) ^ 2 + (y - CenterY) ^ 2) <= Radius ^ 2) then
            pset (x, y), fillColor
        end if
    next x
next y

It's got a little less overdraw, but it checks every pixel on the screen.

this one isn't even guaranteed to finish

doneFlag = false
while (!doneFlag) 

	# reseed random so our new points aren't dependent on our old points
	random.seed()
	
	# get a random point on the screen
	x = random.randint(0, screenWidth)
	y = random.randint(0, screenHeight)
	
	# check if it's within the circle
	if (((x - CenterX)**2) + ((y - CenterY)**2)  <= r ** 2)
	
		# get a second random point on the screen
		x2 = random.randint(0, screenWidth)
		y2 = random.randint(0, screenHeight)
		
		# check if it's also within the circle
		if (((x2 - CenterX)**2) + ((y2 - CenterY)**2)  <= r ** 2)
			
			# draw a line between the points
			drawLine((x, y), (x2, y2), fillColor)
	
	# check if the circle has been filled
	doneFlag = true

	# iterate over every pixel on the screen
	for y = 0 to ScreenHeight
		for x = 0 to ScreenWidth

			# check if the pixel is part of the circle
			if (((x - CenterX) ** 2 + (y - CenterY) ** 2) <= r ** 2)

				# check if the pixel is the correct color
				if (getPix(x,y) != fillcolor)

					#if not, we aren't done
					doneFlag = false
