It's entirely possible you're over feeding the cat based off their metabolism and activity level. Overfeeding doesn't mean free for all necessarily, it means over their caloric needs
It's also possible you just have a big boned cat. You'd really need to ask their vet

Reply to comment by nastratin in This “Climate-Friendly” Fuel Comes With an Astronomical Cancer Risk: Almost half of products cleared so far under the new federal biofuels program are not in fact biofuels — and the EPA acknowledges that the plastic-based ones may present an “unreasonable risk” to human health or the environment. by nastratin
What the fuck does the EPA even do anymore? Like what is their purpose other than placating the masses when they're greenlighting this shit?

Tangential but I really really want to know how people can figure out they're being watched just by getting a weird gut feeling. It genuinely seems like magic

Reply to People from the poorest backgrounds are far more likely to develop a mental disorder later in life than those from wealthier beginnings. More than half of people with a low educational attainment at age 30 will have a diagnosis of a mental disorder 22 years later by Wagamaga
My dad suffered stress induced psychosis. Stress is well known to exacerbate mental disorders. The fact poverty is stressful should surprise nobody
While others here are making some good points about intricacies of diagnosis, I would be shocked if there isn't direct causality here.

Study of the gut and mouth microbiomes of thousands of people from around the world raises the possibility that diseases linked to microbiome dysfunction, including cancer, diabetes, and obesity, could be partly transmissible. by MistWeaver80
Please show me these highly affluent but predominately non-white neighborhoods across America.
Red lining is part of our history, most nice neighborhoods have consistently stayed veering white & non-white neighborhoods were targeted for less than desirable stuff to go in (like things we know cause environmental pollution), it's not racist to point that out, it's acknowledging our history of systemic racism & the lasting impact of it.

Yup I'll stick to my IUD. No periods, no babies. Best of both worlds.

You should go over human decomposition with her. I have no doubt she wouldn't realize she was wrong, but it would be interesting to watch how she tries to incorporate that into her zombie resurrection head cannon.
Or do only the recently dead get to come back?

Like a third of the country is vitriolically homophobic. They've been pretty focused on trans women lately, but they would definitely have less than positive takes on this if they were made aware

I mean....it would be entirely possible to be able to get pure bred dogs without having to have this insane focus on breeding them for exaggerated aesthetic traits.
It's not just that they breed puppies, it's that the majority are doing so in ways that prioritizes potential prizes above species genetic health.

Because that's what's currently in style. 40 years ago, lots of cutesy vaguely food related patterns and designs was popular, so you were inundated with things like this.
You only think it looks cool because it's vintage and most of its peers are in a dump, so it comparitively looks unique.
In 40 years, modern monochrome/chrome toasters will probably look unique compared to [insert the new standard toaster design].
What you really mean is that you like the design aesthetic of the past more than the current, but theres no difference in degree of personality. They're all mass produced and generic as hell (relative to the time period they were made)

While you're absolutely right there's some survivorship bias at play, let's not pretend planned obsolescence hasn't become a huge issue.
That's not even to talk about the number of products on Amazon from drop shippers that are essentially hot glued together to work for the bare minimum time to complete the sale
