That is fucking glorious, thanks for taking the time to put that beautiful wall of text together.
This is the way. We had what we suspected was a neighbor's cat that used to come visit. She didn't have a collar, so we bought one and attached a little metal keychain pill holder so we could pass notes to them. It was fun and we got to meet a new neighbor.
You are far braver than I.
From the article:
That's spurred criticism from the right that — even if the meme is tongue-in-cheek — Democrats are spreading baseless lies about one of their political opponents.
Because the Republicans would never stoop to such a low!
From many years ago, in a previous career.
Job: IT
Issue: hardware of some kind is broken
Customer, incredulous: "...but it wasn't broken yesterday!"
Yeah, no shit. That's how things break. They're fine, then become broken. Why is this even being discussed?
Hey, the Boy Scouts are getting better, no need to kill them!
I just respond with a hearty "yeeearghhhh!" and continue the conversation. The coworkers that know get it, the rest think I'm a lunatic.
"It's not a problem until it happens to me."
It looks like c/conservative is leaking again.
Can confirm. We have four cats and one likes me the most. My wife has dubbed her my "cat wife".
Most of the time, she'll at least meow at me if I call her name. If I call her after around 7 pm while in the bedroom, she'll haul ass into the room, jump on the bed, and immediately move to her spot, gracelessly flop over, and start purring. That's our bedtime routine, which she learned independently.
Lemmy.world really can be maddening sometimes. It seems like any vaguely political post develops some intense strawman "tankie" action. I've pointed it out a few times and it doesn't go well.
I was poly for years and my ex and I designated each other as primary just to help ensure our priorities matched. We'd seen couples that just "free loved" it and it frequently led to a lot of drama and hurt feelings.
One person "demoted" her fiance to just a side relationship because she was encouraging her boyfriends to be competitive. It was gross. The idea of making love or sexuality a competition is just gross. These people are gross.
They have no qualms about lying to further their agenda. Many of the people leading these movements aren't unintelligent, but rather immoral.
