.38 special only costs a few cents. Plus I'd rather my pet's death be a personal matter between me and them, not some foreign and sterile operating room.
So, the pet has a chance to live. And you have the 5000 to make it happen. But you don't pick it. Why not?

Here's your scenario.
You have an old family cat who's been run over by a vehicle, crushing their pelvis and potentially rupturing internal organs. When taken to the vet, you're told that the cat has a chance of recovering, but the vets have no way of telling if there's internal organ damage which could lead to death.
The best they can do is medicate the cat and take care of them before giving the cat back to you. But, they tell you the highest chances you have is if you take the cat to an institution that could fix the bone damage entirely and spot if there's organ damage. The price is very high.
For all intents and purposes, you have the 5000 dollars to pay for that operation. Keep in mind, this is an older cat. You might spend that 5000 dollars only to have the old cat pass away in a few months or years. But at the same time, the cat is a family pet. They've given you years of being the best a cat could be to somebody.
What's your call on the situation, and why?
Additional note on the subject. The cat won't be any pain if you choose any of medicated roads.

Wait when was it autistic to go on a family trip?
If my parents invited me to go to a holiday trip at age 50 I still would
Age 50 is fine. The years between 16-29 is widely considered to be autistic.
No it isn't, where the fuck did you grow up?
Family trips at any age is acceptable
It's highly likely you are autistic if you don't have the social knowledge to realise this is not the case. Have yourself checked please.
I am not gonna call anyone autistic, because I actually have a family member who has autism and struggles every day with it.
However, Everyone here agrees with me, you are most definitely wrong. Family trips at any age is acceptable
Heads up bud.
Beetle isn't known for posting much of anything with substance or sincerity. He's not exactly a troll. But he's not exactly Camnator tier either. Don't take him too seriously.
He has 200 posts
How the hell do you even know who he is?
Beetle's had a history since before he showed up here. Whatever you need to know about him comes from the years he was around on Bungie.Net.

I think--maybe I'm fucking insane--but I think the only thing that makes you autistic is... being autistic.
Na it's just you. Rational thought is just crazy.

What if you're the one taking your parents on holidays?
Shouldn't even be considered autistic in the first place because you going on vacation with your family means that you've got some semblance of an actual functioning family that can do shit together.
Anybody who thinks that's autistic are fucking morons.

I never liked selfies too much. Most of them seem too fake. Especially the ones with smiles. Like they're trying to force a smile when they don't have something making them smile at the moment.
Best way to ever photograph somebody is by using another person to capture the moments where something legitimately happens.
Then again, I guess those people can't really do that, can they?

Not quite. It's in a nursing home. Occassionally it escapes and wanders around outside before it's found and returned to a safe place where it can't hurt itself.

Dear diary, today I learned that the word bad is believed to derive from old english bæddel, which meant "hermaphrodite" or "womanish man" from a purple slug in the sky who was vomitting.

Carrying a gun does not make you safe. It makes you and everyone around you a target.
When the fuck are we going to ban concealed and open carry.
Well, seeing as there's a piece of paper that says "you can have all the guns," signed by some dead guy a few hundred years old at the moment, not anytime soon.
The funny thing is that's not even how he said it, the context back then was completely different (back when we were in fear of being taken over from so many countries), and it says well regulated militia.
Oh believe me I'm aware of that one at this point.
A document that's a few hundred years old is, naturally, going to be out of date and out of context a bit.
I do often wonder why we're so obsessed with guns and so eager to get them out in the general public when it's proven it kills more.
If we were to promote gun safety and actually have ads about it like they do with other crap, then maybe I'd be okay with it. But as it goes they're too easy to get, and not enough people are being taught the responsibilities it carries.
Well, at this point I doubt there's anything to be done about it. Your culture is so steeped and ornery about firearms that you can't do shit to limit them without people immidiately feeling opressed and scared of going gunless. And even if you did manage it, supposedly, right now there's more guns in america than there are people.
You couldn't even make a dent in that amount of firearms at this point. And the culture couldn't handle it if you did make restrictive laws because at that point you'd be putting people who do obey the laws in danger because you've got so many fuckwit criminals shooting up the place who don't give a shit.
It's going to blow up one of these days.
Buy back program.
Australia did it and it was successful
Except that Australia is sane to a degree. Like I said. You can't do fuck all in the US at this point because if you take away the only thing that law abiding civilians have against some asshole coming to do bad shit on somebody, you're going to see a hell of a lot more shootings and deaths. It's a dual front problem. The excessive amount of guns and the support of them in being normal and average in people's lives, and the excessive amount of violent crime that occurs.

Yeah, this is not the answer. I imagine knowing that there would be fellow students carrying a gun on them in class is going to be a pretty disturbing experience for some of the students (and teachers) there.

He does have a point. I wouldn't say disturbing. But I know if it were me I wouldn't exactly feel in pleasant company in the presence of somebody with a gun. And you've got several people here who've said basically the same thing. Knowing you, you'd probably argue that because it's concealed carry, I wouldn't know.
At which point that's honestly less of a comfort because I would know that somebody was carrying one around. Just not who.
And I notice that after a few rounds of comments from other people you've done absolutely nothing to comment on the fact that maybe it is a bit of a concern that they'd allow more people to wander around with concealed weapons.
Because it is a concern. Mainly because you can't fucking trust people for shit. Period.
Concealed carries are not a threat to you. Like at all.
The point of concealed carry is personal defence and only personal defense. Carry pistols are small pieces that do not have large magazines and shoot small-caliber bullets. Completely inoptimal for extended violence.
Concealed carriers have to undergo a background check and are subject to prosecution if they have a fuck up.
It's the guy who walks in with his gun in plain sight you need to worry about.
Also "muh feels" is not a legitimate reason to restrict carry.
And you really think that if some guy is having a bad day or he's in a heat of the moment type situation that he's going to give a shit about background checks and prosecution?
Yes. Because it's been demonstrated statistically.
It doesn't matter if it's a small capacity weapon. It's still a weapon and it can be used to kill somebody, easily. Disregarding it just because it's not capable of mass violence doesn't negate its potential danger. A small car has far more capacity to inflict violence than a carry piece.
And if you want to drag "muh feels" into this, then let's talk about how "muh feels" is literally the basis of this new law. Somebody in parlament is getting a little spooked with all these campus shootings so they figure throwing more guns into the mix might help. That's not what muh feels is, fam.
So let's not drag the whole "muh feels" horse shit into this because the entire fucking argument about guns on both sides in america is based around feelings.
it's really not. The left has a muh feels camp on the issue but I'll admit that doesn't make up the entire anti-gun left.
You've a point about concealed permits, at least. They don't exactly just hand them out like candy. As for cars doing more damage, no shit sherlock, it's a fucking half ton car. But we're not talking about cars. We're not talking about how somebody could go around with a knife and slit people's throats while they're sleeping. We're talking about how a gun, even with low capacity ammunition and lower caliber ammunition can still kill somebody. And yes, that's exactly "muh feels." It's two sides screaming at each other. Make a law to restrict guns and everybody cries "muh guns and freedomes!" Make a law advocating for them and it's for "muh protection!" But, who am I to say on the subject. It's a country full of guns and people who will either abuse them or not. It's a cultural thing. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. But I don't expect that law to be passed without some negative repurcussions and incidents.

And there's something we haven't even talked about yet. Police. Let's say somebody goes off on a shooting at campus, and a few concealed carry people get into a firefight but don't take out the shooter. You now have multiple people running around with drawn weapons, and only one of them being the shooter. And the police can't afford to identify and hesitate on a target. You don't think any of that has the potential to get messy?

This sort of reminds me of a discussion I had with somebody a long time ago about where the states was going to head with their gun issues. Either they were going to try and clean their shit up.
Or they were going to add more gun.
