That’s the way we got one of ours back in the day. I was on an evening walk with my then-gf, we came across a very friendly kitty, gave her some pets, and went on to go home. She followed, entered the house, went right to the litter box, did her thing, and promptly decided she’d live there for the rest of her life. Fucking cats man. Love 'em to death.

You’re not far off the mark. One tomcat I had once brought with him a new cat, a girl I hadn’t seen before. He shared his food with her and now she lives here as well.

The mark of the beast was fiat money and we’ve been using it for a while.

There’s no better way to stifle a discussion than to see there’s 10k+ replies already. Pissing in an ocean of piss.

Well, it was either this or Tomie, I guess.

An advanced finglonger.

I wouldn’t bother. People who arrive at any opinion without using logic can’t be reasoned out of that opinion using logic. It’s an emotional thing.

It was two movies Frankensteined into one. The first half is awesome. The second, not so much.

Every single new “innovation” is literally locked behind a paywall, sometimes multiple, in tiers. You can’t just “buy” anything anymore, you can only lease it, usually at exorbitant prices compared to not that long ago.

Holy shit, fabuland! I don’t think I’ve seen this or even remembered in the last 35 years! Those were my very first lego (after duplo) pieces in the 80’s…

I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I’m currently pretty much infertile.

Everything, considering we’ll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today’s life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don’t get paid either but it’s an hour I’m off work and it does save lives.

It used to be worth it. It isn’t anymore. You have access to the internet. Use it.

I liked this joke better when it was about async. Fits the purpose better.

I’m pretty firmly in the second category only. I have had the first a few times, but when whatever thing you were so stoked about inevitably fries or fails a few weeks in, you quickly learn to stop doing #1 altogether.

Every textbook today comes with a goddamn one-use code, and they’re made in such a way that they’re useless without it.

It’s theft and extortion. But what are we going to do about it?

Yeah, thought so.

Lol mine does it if I keep perfectly still, so any overwhelming going on is purely of her own making. Luckily she’s tiny and her claws don’t really penetrate. And god, those sorry licks inbetween…

It’s not imposter syndrome if you’re actually incompetent and worthless, but society is so rotten to the core they don’t notice anymore.
