Unlike dogs where you are part of their "pack", for cats you are their mother - seriously, your petting them is their mother licking their fur to clean it, and their purs help you realize that they are alive and well.

The odd part is that in the wild, the kitten doesn't stay with the mother all that long. So unlike dogs, we keep cats in a permanent juvenile state - that's why they don't (so much) "obey", bc they are confident in their special status of being loved by mother.

It's not that the robot needs to hear it, but that you need to be someone who says it.

Imagine being cooped up all day, only able to go outside 2-3 times a day. I'm with the dog on this one - if that sparks joy in them then the dog has the right idea!

So China acts aggressively while blaming the US, just like Russia blamed the invasion of Ukraine on the West too. It seems like I've heard this playbook before...

"Stop hitting yourself, stop hitting yourself. Look what you made me do!?"

Tbf the evidence for the second person is not strong - that stuff does legit happen.

But the first guy? Damn! That's enough right there.

Lemmy will grow, but for right now it does not meet every need. Perhaps it never will. Especially with lives and livelihoods on the line, you must do whatever works best for you, so please do not feel guilty.
