I may have found someone! I’ll go look for her tomorrow. He works for a tree service

Can you point me on a map specifically where she is? I’m heading to the city and I will check on her tomorrow. I’m going to ask some people in the local Facebook groups in bucks if anybody knows how to help

I looked up the intersection and there’s a bunch of trees. I don’t want to be walking around aimlessly

Edit: I may have found someone to help haters. Keep downvoting while you do nothing to actually help the innocent cat

If the cat is still in the tree tomorrow can you let me know. I’ll see if we can help with getting a ladder

Do you realize how far north Brunswick is from philly?????????? How is that your first thought?

So aside from what’s been mentioned about cats being particular regarding scratching, the cat may need some training as well when you find the right scratching material.

If all that fails claw caps are a humane way to protect your furniture.

That’s absolutely not true.

The Delaware River supplies water for like 13 million people. There are definitely freight trains that run over and near it. Rest assured nj would not be handling the situation with the same incompetence Ohio has.

Then go be one? Multiple cities need cops. You won’t make what you think you will though unless you wanna be working 7 days a week

This is not at all true. Go through the process and see how many people don’t make it. You’d be surprised.

No it’s not. Not at all.

No way that was all from the job. Even the highest paying agencies don’t start you out at 250,000 or even 150,000 a year.

This was one specific agency. I’m all for police reform but let’s not pretend one specific agency in the US speaks for all. Different agencies have radically different hiring processes. State police requires at least 60 credits of college and most have a bachelors. Cities like Trenton and Camden desperately need police officers so they don’t have as stringent of requirements. Richer towns likely have more educated cops like the state police.

I’m glad you like that but hard hard pass for me.

That’s straight up false.

If you interpret the headline as that I’m legitimately concerned. No shit a driver was behind the wheel. Thanks captain obvious

Jail is not treatment. While we absolutely should be incorporating treatment into jail for those who have to go it’s not a system meant to treat addicts.

Make no mistake majority of people don’t end up like your friend. Majority end up either dead or worse off then they were.

Jail is not treatment. Also we don’t have the room in jails to do that anyways. So we should let dangerous criminals out instead of fixing the system actually meant for SUD?

That very rarely works and we don’t have the treatment beds for it.

Also the treatment system for addiction is in shambles

While this is needed the political will is simply not there. Harm reductionists are working towards change that 1. Works 2. Doesn’t require all the legal changes such a program would require but it’s still a fight when the stigma is as bad as it is

Because 1. We don’t have the room in jails 2. We don’t have the low crime required to divert police to do such a thing 3. It doesn’t work. It’s not actually going to fix the problem.

There are things that will fix the problem to the best degree we can but neither the public or the politicians want that because of stigma.

Septa really should be taking it more seriously though. Keeping trains and buses drug free is something doable. You can find places in the city to do your thing away from people before just shooting on the train.

An army deployment won’t work. Those of us who work with the community or have been a part of the community know what works (evidence based treatment) but nobody wants to actually do that because of stigma. Easier to just pretend the police and courts can make this right when we don’t even have enough treatment beds for those who want treatment.

There’s not enough treatment facilities to do this. Not to mention the horrendous state of addiction treatment in the us.

I can’t find the article right now. But there’s a woman who lives in fairhill who volunteered for over a decade with the homeless there. They got a very high number of people to agree to treatment. However because of 1 lack of beds 2 the way the system is completely fucked up it didn’t work out the way it intended to

The benefits are really good yes but the pay is low. Can’t pay bills with healthcare unfortunately. However unlike some jobs you have a very defined raise plan and it can be easy to move up(again depending on what you do etc)

If you do not feel is is safe to fight or run the body shuts down and goes into a freeze mode. Very often sexual assault victims do not feel safe doing this so instead disassociate as best they can.

You’re perpetuating victim blaming bs that greatly hurts sexual assault and rape victims.

If someone has taken me in their car to a secluded location to rape me I’m not going to fight back in fear of being killed.

Creepy definitely but should it be illegal? Absolutely not. There’s usually age difference exemptions in these laws for a reason.

Savage sisters may take them I’m not sure
