It also has the advantage that nearly every button is a completely different size or shape. Making it easier to use if you have trouble knowing where your fingers are without looking.

No you’re thinking about Oregon. Orgasim is the process where water can pass through a membrane if there is a pressure difference.

Come here brown bear!

Mine is Deep Space 9! I should rewatch voyager. I watched it as a kid on TV but I don’t remember much.

Why didn’t he put this in Who Rules the World?

If you want another look I recommend the behind the bastards episode on Coco.

Exactly my thoughts. The real cause of crime and violence in the abstract is inequality in the macro and social disorder in the micro.

I need to rewatch this movie. Just the opening sequence alone lives in my head after decades.

I had never lived with a cat until I was around 20. I met a girl who had 2 cats, and I liked her enough to suffer in the short term. We were together for around 6 years and in that time I fell in love with them. The pros outweigh the cons in my case. You don’t choose what you love.

A tale as old as time.

The danger with Allergies is that even the most mild one could someday go overboard without warning, but I’ve seen my symptoms drop considerably just from exposure. Now I just get watery eyes if I don’t wash my hands after a petting session, and touch them. That happens maybe once every few months.

When I first started living with cats I basically had to mainline Benadryl just to stop sneezing. My eyes would get so swollen they’d be nearly closed. It definitely wasn’t pleasant, but at the time the girl was worth it, and now I just love cats too much to live without them.

Fun fact/potential wives tale: Apparently if you raise chickens alongside cats, the chickens will absorb the enzymes in their spit that causes the allergies in humans. Somehow they break them down and the remnants end up in the eggs. Eating those eggs has been known to reduce or even prevent all symptoms of the allergy. Edit: I looked into this further and it’s not eating the eggs yourself that does it, but feeding the eggs to the cats. Apparently the antibodies the chickens create when fed to the cats stop them from making the allergins all together.

Don’t talk so bad about Hitler’s killer. He did a great service to the world.

I knew I’d get something wrong. lol thanks for the correction.

Perks of being a crazy cat lady. It’s funny, I’m allergic to their spit, so as a kid I never liked them, but as an adult I’ve hardly lived with less than 3 cats around me for any amount of time. I love them so much even if they’re killing me slowly.

Apparently they’re related to two different Latin phrases. Fervēre, meaning “to boil or seethe,” and fōvēre, meaning “to keep warm” or “to heat”. So they’re similar in definition and sound. Off by just a matter of degree.

They do, but not nearly as often as dogs. It’s definitely not something they would do with unfamiliar cats. It’s more a social grooming in a tight group. I see it a lot more often with overweight, old, or cats with disabilities. They prefer to clean their own butts if they can, but if you see your friend struggling it’s NBD to help them out.

You know, you reminded me of a vague memory. Making that same mistake in school, being corrected, and deciding that I liked it better my way. I was a stubborn child.

Fun fact, usually when they show you their buttholes the humans are actually trying to be friendly. They want you to smell it. Obviously that’s gross, but if you just blow in their general direction it wiggles the hair back there, and they are usually appeased. If you do this regularly they will stop presenting as often.

It went beyond that. In an attempt to ferment discontent in the group he started reading their reports out loud. Airing all their dirty laundry. Instead of getting them mad at each other he basically forced them to settle all their issues and form together, closer than ever. After that didn’t work he started trying to usurp authority from the captain that he selected because he thought as a woman she would crumble under the pressure of command. His greatest accomplishment as the new captain was damaging a fuel line and failing to fix it by swimming in the fuel and water.

If I remember correctly they had to rescue him and distract him while they fixed it themselves and after that he basically sulked in the corner of the raft. Only getting the balls to try something near the end of the experiment, trying to Shanghai the raft and expand the experiment to try and force his theories into reality. After they finally got back the subjects would get together every few years to relive the good old days without him.

It’s ironic, by trying to get them to hate each other he accidentally became something for all of them to rally against.
