User ID: 84879305 Australia 12/03/2022 09:01 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Just buy some hamburger and split up into quarter pound patties. About a dollar and some change for that. Better and cheaper than cat food. 1 chicken thigh is about a dollar. Then add some fruit and veggies that are still cheap to that. Have some oatmeal for breakfast. Or skip it and have it for lunch. Most adults only need to eat twice a day. It’s not that expensive to eat if you don’t over eat. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84875528 This is an article from the UK and if prices in Australia are anything to go by, the only kind of "meat" you can get for $1 is pet food, but hell even tins of petfood aren't cheap. A chicken thigh for a dollar lol would probably cost atleast 5 bucks here, I dunno I'm not poor tho so I don't pay attention to this shit |

I didn't end up paying for it because I pointed out that it wasn't chicken, but it was tasty. Soulless fake humans are already AI. They get triggered by particular words, symbols etc. They can't really bother about the meaning. They just look for the trigger words. Their language & comprehension skills are 0.

I've had to hide my mutt in witness protection program from Nancey L. Don't feel bad. I used to have two cats. I currently have one... maybe.

Quoting: BFD Mark Seed now runs a community food project in Trowbridge, east Cardiff. BBC Wales analysis of new Census data suggests six of Wales' most deprived communities are in the city. A charity warns that struggling households do not just appear in areas long associated with poverty and policy needs to focus on people not places. Trowbridge lies in what Mr Seed calls an "arc of poverty" from east to west of the Welsh capital, with issues endemic in his area. "I'm still shocked by the fact that we have people who are eating pet food," he said. "[There are] people who are trying to heat their food on a radiator or a candle. "These are shocking kind of stories that are actually the truth." "Cardiff is a flourishing city however there are pockets of deprivation which are simply not acceptable."
