@monkeydogify ’morning :) (& thanks!) Hope the kitty is not being too annoying. -
@aral I'm contemplating suicide :-/ -
@monkeydogify Please don’t. Maybe do some research into what might be causing the behaviour. -
@aral she's old. She was mine for 14 years before my mum took her. I think she's going a bit mad (both the cat and my mum) -
@monkeydogify Aww, poor thing. -
@aral I trust you mean me? -
@monkeydogify lol, I guess you could be considered old in cat years :) - 3 more replies

@aral Well, they hire people like me, whose job is to act in users’ interests. -
@Cennydd Indeed, but it’s a juggling act. It’s just the nature of the business model. And the business model determines the user experience. -
@aral ALL business is a juggling act, paid or no. It's the very nature of capitalism. -
@Cennydd Indeed, but different business models do result in different user experiences ;)
