As per usual your English is diabolical.

There are three completely different diseases with similar symptomology

So you say but if it is such an open an close case then where is your reference? A search for 'feline immunodeficiency disease' brings up countless hits entitled 'feline immunodeficiency virus' because it is a virus which causes the disease.

And I think the word you were looking for there was 'symptomatology'.

 

"Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is one of the most common and consequential infectious diseases of cats around the world." (My emphasis).

https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv

 

So it's you flicking through a copy of Pussy Cat Monthly at the vet's against Cornell University.

It never fails to amaze me how my given reference never quite cuts it against your always non-existent reference. Every time, no matter the subject under discussion you fail to produce any evidence and yet always manage to write-off my references as "one click half assed "research"".

You should try learning how to use a search engine, you will find that it only takes one tap of the 'enter' key and you have pages of hits each of which only requires one click to access.

 

Next.

" though I have to say the one where you didn't know America had differing state laws" - I am well aware that the individual states have their own laws. I don't suppose you could point us at the place you are referring to?

And here's a free pro-tip for you: Most countries have different laws at a regional and state (federal) level. The USA is not unique in this - the UK and Germany for instance have it.

 

And lastly this masterpiece of written English from the same person who had the temerity to claim that I had poor English skills.

"and the combined tirade of how the west subverted yoga for political gain when the actual practitioners of said yoga say literal otherwise whilst actually now living in America by their own words is still by far your crowning achievement in the dumbfuckery department. "

 

Where did I say that this nonsense? How can anyone subvert yoga whether for political gain or no? What have the practitioners of yoga got to do with it? What has the fact that thre are yoga practitioners living in the USA got to do with anything?

You don't even know what yoga is. Come back when you have read the Bhagavad Gita and what the Lord Krishna says about yoga. Come back when you have read the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Come back when you have read any of the excellent books by Gopi Krishna. Come back when you have read Lu K'uan Yu (translator) - Taoist Yoga - Alchemy and Immortality.

i’m so sorry your cat is sick… it can be so hard and stressful caring for a cat with FIV, i lost my precious boy to a sinus infection due to his FIV a few years ago… there were so many tears and fears, sleepless nights while i watched over him. but what’s good is that FIV cats can live happy lives! and FIV cats can certainly live a normal lifespan as well, my boy made it to 14 after being diagnosed at 8. it was not an easy road, but there were special moments i had with him involving whatever his current treatment was when they happened. i know it doesn’t ease the pain, but i’m hoping for you and your cat.

Aww, right in the nostalgia. I had actually forgotten about Tiger gaming devices until you posted this. I had a few of those back in the day.

Great.. now I'm hungry, lol. On a semi related note, I wouldn't even know what Tapatio sauce was if Doritos hadn't used it to flavor some of their chips, it's pretty good stuff, if the chips are anything to go by.

So after finally deciding to climb out of my antisocial shell at work a week or so back I have become aware of a few things, firstly that I'm apparently not as undesirable as I had originally thought, secondly with this new knowledge and some confirmation of things from some of the women I work with there are potentially a number of women there who at least think I'm kind of cute (not much, but it's something) which I guess makes sense of some of the odd behavior I've seen when they're around me, thirdly apparently the online dating scene is in fact cancer and has done more damage to my self-image than anything else (just one more reason to avoid it), and lastly I'm pretty certain that there is one woman there who would jump my bones fairly quickly if I decided to accept her, at this point, very obvious advances (which is, I guess, kind of tempting), the catch is I'm pretty sure she is already married or engaged to someone, and I really don't want any part of that shit, but I don't know how to tell her I'm not interested. I guess I'm worried that she may choose to be petty over it, since if my hunch is correct, she has been after me for several months by this point, and I've just failed to notice.

 

This chick has a number of signs to stay away by the way (aside from the stuff I already listed), tattoos all over, bleached hair, lots of makeup, and I think she was trying to ask me (through a friend) if I was looking to marry anyone (HELL NO).

I don't mind the tattoos and stuff, actually I kind of like the look sometimes, it's the type of personalities that tend to go along with that, that I mind. Generally, these are people who are "wild" or "unglued" psychologically in some way, people who have "baggage", heavy painful pieces of baggage that they may end up dumping onto you at some point, if you decide to get involved with them. Take the woman I was describing for example, if I'm correct in assuming that she is married or otherwise in some kind of relationship already, then the fact that she is still trying to get with me means that she is unfaithful or bored in her relationship, and I don't really want to be "the other guy" (as I've been there before).

 

I think what I'm going to do is ask more questions, find out if she's actually in a relationship, and go from there.

i went to the forest around the lake today! there are a bunch of people at the lake to celebrate the 4th, and surprisingly few actually on the trail. i tend to go deeper into the woods (trail is still in sight so i don't get lost) so people on the trail don't bother me much. i didn't find any bones, but i did see a fairy area someone has set up with small figurines. there have been a lot of major storms since i last went to those woods so there was a lot of charred wood on the ground; i actually brought home a decent chunk of the lightning-struck wood. there were a lot of milky quartz clusters all over the place, it appears all the rain has uncovered more of them.

 

while i was in the forest, a white-tailed deer got so close to me, looked at me, and rather than getting scared and running off, she just kept going where she was going. it was quite amazing; it's really a blessing to get so close to a deer. her baby was walking around and munching nearby as mama was snacking on all kinds of things, from poison ivy, poison oak and twigs on the ground to the leaves on low hanging branches of the hickories and small oaks. she was a very pretty doe too! 

 

another nature tip: even in summer, if you're going out into the woods (away from a maintained trail), you want to wear long pants to avoid accidental brushes with poison ivy or poison oak. poison sumac can be way taller so pants won't always protect you there lol; in the case of areas with a lot of poison sumac, it's a good idea to wear long sleeves, too. it's good to have rubbing alcohol or alcohol pads as well as extra water with you in case of contact; a lot of times, reactions to poison ivy/oak/sumac can be prevented if the oil that causes the rashes (urushiol) is either washed off of the skin with cool water or washed with alcohol and rinsed with cool water, within 5 minutes of contact. avoid soap! a lot of soaps have oils which helps spread the poison.

Everybody has baggage?. It all depends on how you swing it around.

 

Edit:Why do some people automatically think issues whenever somebody has a tattoo? People with tattoos are some of the nicest folks I’ve ever met.

also ticks. and if in a more exotic place, snake bites. short pants are good for urban places, but in forest having long pants is always better.

 The top part made me laugh. The size and weight of the baggage also matters, sometimes it can be deadly.

 

Probably because a LOT of people who have issues also have tattoos. They also seem to have extreme piercings (gauges, nose rings, studs, and so on) and brightly colored hair, those features are also common, so it's usually not just tattoos. I've seen a few different friends date a number of women over the years, and all the really crazy ones looked just as I described, having all three features to one degree or another. Actually, one friend comes to mind in particular, nice guy, worked his ass off, is the kind of guy you can rely on, would never even think of cheating on his wife, his wife on the other hand had the physical characteristics I described, she had some small hidden tattoos, ear gauges and I think a few piercings, and she added purple highlights to her hair on occasion. Outwardly they seemed like a loving couple, though we started seeing a lot less of the friend in question after his marriage to this woman (which was kind of a red flag), after the fact it comes out that behind the scenes she was nasty, and ungrateful, and controlling (which is why we never really saw much of him after he got married), and she did in fact have psychological issues. In the end, she ended up getting bored and having an ongoing affair with one of her coworkers at the Wegman's (a large grocery store) she worked at, a job that her husband helped her get, if I'm not mistaken.

 

Anyway, I think that's part of the reason why tattoos are often linked to crazy or shitty people.

From a scientific perspective I’m not seeing it. Ink, hair dye and even piercings do not alter brain activity directly. Maybe in a psychological way perhaps? What kinds of tattoos did she have? Did she have any gang signs, racist images or even morbid images such as death or torture? If so then I can see it. If not then it might not be the tattoos.

 

On a side note I never did see the appeal of gauges. 

[27X]

You're putting the cart on the hill and then putting the horse in it.

 

The symptoms are not the disease. The need for attention beyond your own personality's ability to draw is often the extant issue. For an example Dave Bautista has all of those things (minus hair these days) and yet is one of the most down to earth people I've ever met.  He's not wearing a uniform to make up for his shortcomings, those are also worn on his sleeve, he's simply furthering his character and personality with permanent milestones he considers meaningful. The interesting thing is one his friends was in it for the above mentioned and realized one night after a literal close shave with the law that he, in fact, was the problem in first place:

 

 

 

If someone is wearing that shit because everyone else is in their peer group is wearing that shit, you're virtually guaranteed to get other baggage following along, usually with self esteem and inability to accept other people's lives and means as legitimate to go with. Often it's just the coin flip of the conservative "godly" control freak with that particular uniform, which is why the two groups tend to hate each other's guts.

 

Clothes do not man necessarily make.
