  • Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

My cat is fucking amazing. I'm so fucking depressed and I feel like she knows that I'm suicidal and depressed right now. The reason I think this is because I'm laying down right now, feeling bad about myself and she came in, crawled on my lap and began purring

This may sound a bit morbid but I've considering impulsively CTB today but she is helping me, so maybe I won't do it today. Who knows, maybe she will keep me around.

So totally agree, they can sense emotions that we, as humans, never can, and they are such a huge source of comfort.

Agreed! I feel like I've made too many sad posts recently so I wanted to post something positive!

I agree, I think they can sense how we feel and will attempt to comfort us and generally, they're successful.

Also it's great to hear from you, Walter! I haven't heard from or seen you for a bit and I was just thinking about you the other day! It's great to hear from you.

I think animals do feel our emotions. My cat purrs around me when I cry. They are really genuine friends.

Cats ARE awesome!
One of the best depression busters around.
Cheaper than Meds, and no side effects.
Clinical studies have shown that a cat's purring has calming and healing effects on the human body.
Purring also helps the cat itself, if it is hurting or stressed.
But when cats purr around you, it is because they are happy to see you.
It is just one of many ways a cat shows you that it love you.
And cats are soooooo mellow!

Mine does the same and it honestly makes me feel so much better.

Wow! I didn't know about the clinical studies, but that makes sense I suppose. Also I agree that cats are mellow, they're so easy to care for. Not that I don't like dogs or anything, I love dogs, cats are just easier to care for and they mostly lay around all day, so chill
