You might be able to clear (or at least relieve) some of the pressure by doing a Eustachian Tube Massage

Apply pressure to the area below the ear and just behind the jaw bone, then follow the jawline down to the neck (I'm not sure if you go under the jaw or straight down the neck. I do both)

Obviously, if this causes pain, don't continue

(I am not a doctor)

you're just completely fucked because they (generally) follow the Mark Twain model of pay per word so once a story gets popular that shit absolutely gets milked into the ground.

This is a legit problem for web novels and wuxia (which get written and released chapter by chapter).

Lot's of random plot arcs that go nowhere, and a lot of recycled story structure.

I stopped reading Tales of Demons and Gods halfway through, because the main character gains the ability to pause time and "power up" whenever he wants. I was already quite tired of it, but that was the "fuck this book" moment

I shall seal the heavens and The Desolate Era are some of my favorites (although TDE has some severe plot meandering syndrome)

Same boat

I effing love arch and kde plasma, but nothing I've ever used has felt like a true replacement for Task Manager

It might be your phone getting a notification, and sending that to the BT speaker, which then takes precedent over the laptop

I usually just disable BT on my phone when stuff like that happens (on android, you can change the playback device without disconnecting, and that should also prevent the phone from stealing your headphones)

You got a purty mouth

I think most people make the assumption that the current owner has always been the owner, and therefore they're the cause of obesity

It also doesn't help that the human obesity epidemic, and "body positivity" movement tend to normalize obesity in people's minds. I think some of the comments (mine included) are a response to this

Also, some owners just don't realize that they are overfeeding their pets, nor the damage that does to their pets

But that doesn't mean rude, insulting, or assumptive comments are justified


I would suggest mentioning your efforts at weight loss whenever you post pics, just to head off the stream of comments about the subject. That way, people can see you're both cognizant and proactive with the issue

Yo, with all due respect, he needs to see a vet and loose some weight

Obese cats have issues grooming themselves, which causes their fur to look disheveled, as well as poop buildup on their butts

Also, all that extra weight causes arthritis and joint pain. Not to mention a host of other health complications and organ failure

Also also, be aware that losing weight too fast can be fatal to cats (fatty liver disease), so it's important to discuss this with your vet

Girl With The Dogs has some informative videos on overweight cats
