Yeah, it might be a two for one deal with those kitties, so that's the first thing to consider.

Feed them small amounts at the same time(s) a day when you can be nearby, as has already been mentioned. Trying to get them used to your presence.

Have a few ancient cheapo sweaters or shirts? Wear them for a week and get them all full of your stink and leave it near the food bowl when feeding them. Trying to associate your smell with a supply of food.

You can eventually start putting the smelly clothes and bowl of food in a small dog crate, cat carrier, or large animal live trap (deactivating the trap door) to get them used to a confining space.

Bring a chair or something comfortable to sit on the ground with while feeding. Just hang out nearby. Start out kinda far away and as the days pass, sit down a bit closer. Be cool, be relaxed, don't make any noises... maybe bring a book or something. As time passes and if the critters seem to be more relaxed around you, try casually standing up and milling about, maybe moving towards them.

When they come by for food regularly, act like your smelly clothes don't bother them, don't mind going into the crate/carrier/live trap to eat, and don't panic as you move around you can try closing the door for a short while. If they panic while the door is closed, just sit down and remain calm and quiet. Hopefully they will start to calm down after... maybe 5 or 10 minutes. Let them out earlier if it looks like they are hurting themselves/each other in their panic but if its just howling, you can wait for a bit to see if they calm down.

You're trying to get them to learn that the container isn't a bad space (with your smelly clothes and food) and that when they calm down the door will be opened.

Store managers will talk about "profit margins" ... then have their buyers order so much shit that it fucks up their profit margins by thousands to tens of thousands of dollars in cash and labor, then pull some "moral hazard" bullshit and fire somebody for drinking water.

That's ~~oligarchy~~ capitalism. And you could do that in a communist system.

If there's oligarchs, then we can safely assume that the system they exist in isn't a communist one.

If its been a bit since you've posted, the pinned posts for the mega threads like "News" are now consolidated in the pinned post "Temporary Hexbear Megathread and Event Portal"

Are you using those links to go to the current unlocked mega threads for News?

Antifascism is locked from making posts (but not comments), but it looks like its been locked for 3 years for anybody who isn't a moderator. (not sure why though, maybe to keep potentially important things from not being seen by enough users).

Politics isn't locked for me.

Clicked randomly around the communities list and besides Antifascism, none show as locked.

How can you post on hexbear without having played Disco Elysium?

A viral or bacterial plague could be stopped, much easier, through Capital working in its own self interest and generating some type of treatment/cure.

I'm pretty sure that prions are a problem because an "infection" can't be treated or cured with antibiotics, the spread can only be stopped when the infected organism dies and its remains are treated in a way that can chemically denature the malformed proteins. Its a cascade of malformed proteins causing other proteins to fold in a bad way which causes other proteins to fold in a bad way...

Maybe there's some meta context there about "social contagion" or the "cascading failures" of capitalism or "the domino theory" from the Western world during the Cold War.

Pam Bondi suceeds in getting Luigi tried with a death penalty for a guilty verdict. The threshold for guilt with this punishment is much, much higher than it would have been for a life sentence. Prosecutors have such a shitty case against Luigi that they lose. Luigi walks.

Okay, so instead of walking through a line and being handed a plate of food during the three times a day that the dining halls are open... you have to slow everything down to think about how much "freedom bucks" you're spending per item, per meal. And if you guess wrong, slow down the lines even more to pull out cash or debit/credit card to pay the remainder if you go over.

With an "all day" chow hall, I expect the amount of food waste will be increased dramatically.

There should be an "The Onion" article about the troops being charged for every gallon of fuel and bullet fired.

Back in my day, your pay was auto deducted every 2~4 weeks to pay for the dining facilities. This was pulled out, even if you didn't eat at the dining facilities. There was/is paperwork to get reimbursed if you are unable to get to a dining facility when in garrison (and not training out in the field) but most of us never bothered with it. I think when doing training/deployments and being fed, the dining facility deduction was stopped but I can't remember with any certainty.

City officials say the historic building will likely be a design challenge given its size and need for new electrical and plumbing lines throughout.

I'd be surprised if this happens.

Cat whisperers of hexbear, how do I coax these kitties that come around my house to come inside. I want to pick one and have it be a new cat for me but I've only ever adopted from stores.
