Except the cat owner is willing to go to bat for the cat

If nothing else that kid will understand he’s picking a fight with more than a cat

Lucky for me I’m one of today’s 10,000 and have not seen this before.

I hate grass, I hate mowing it and the free time that eats. Its useless

I’m slowly deleting patches by installing garden beds and pathways with things that are useful to me and wildlife and don’t need constant maintenance.

My dream is to strip off the top layer of most of the yard and put down some grasses that don’t grow above 4-6 inches and other ground cover between my garden beds.

China has an entire globe for a market. Us Yanks rely on china as our main supplier for nearly everything, because ‘made in America’ prices are unrealistic to compete with

There’s a Nicole community now?

The brain drain has begun.

What a smart long term move, alienating all the smart people into leaving

I’m reluctant to actually invest this years IRA contributions and may have better returns just holding it in standby as the market ‘volatility’ continues

Despite the advice that time in the market beats timing the market, I have a feeling these extraordinary circumstances mean the opposite for the time being

You have got to tell us about your job after that tantalizing bit

Oh she’s using a new picture now?

I’ll probably get it in my inbox sooner or later

Hardly ever to be honest, unless I’m looking back through my comment history to find a specific thing I’m looking up.

That’s not counting the proofreading/editing I do on longer comments before and immediately after submitting.

Old habits die hard from years of writing papers at school. My first draft at most anything reads bad and I’ve got habits to overuse punctuation or repeat words, so to not look like I’m insane I edit. Minor efforts go a long way in getting traction on comments too

Yeah I definitely read through and edited this after the first pass

The most disturbing part is that everyone is still discussing it.

You give him power by taking his mouth diarrhea as something more than just that.

It’s worse than that. I shoved it up on the curb and left. Like you see at any other store.

One time I didn’t return the cart at Aldi.

I still think about that a decade later.

Because that haunts me I always put the cart back no matter what

For those that don’t know you have to put a quarter in to use a cart and you get it back when you put it away which means there are never stray carts anywhere. People want their money back.

It’s called the paradox of tolerance. You cannot tolerate intolerance

I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

Not like the past election cycles where the losing side bellyaches about moving to Canada or whatever, they’re actually gathering birth certificates and planning a visit to the embassy

Naturally I should qualify for it too but that feels like a very nuclear action

Fuck yeah, vacation to Australia here i come!

Best Sencha 🐈‍⬛

Would also be a significant cost savings for Apple since they won’t have to pay for the exorbitant development costs that I’m sure are factored into the price of American based ai.

Still don’t want ai anywhere near phones though. Way too much personal data at risk

Your sentiments are appreciated and we need more reminders like this out in the world in these dark times.

Yeah, family and loved ones will always have that bias because people are more than their physical appearance. Thoughts, attitudes, habits, feelings, kin. You love someone for all of those reasons and more.

But if I saw a doppelgänger child I’d be lying right to the parents faces to remain cordial.

YMMV. Highly subjective and all

All babies looks ugly to me

Yeah this is in line with how I see babies and kids, so that’s gonna explain some of it. It’s definitely an unwritten rule to say babies are cute.

Though my cousin had a couple kids and the youngest was the exception to the rule when he was like 2-6, just the cutest little thing.

So I don’t know.
