What kind of driver speeds off when they hear a “thump” on the back end of one’s car? I thought it was instinct to stop and see what you just hit (or hit you), maybe figure out if you’re responsible...this driver just bailed?  Fireable offense, IMO.

Yea, the driver’s actions seem malicious, not something that was done in fear. I don’t know how bad cat allergies can get, but seems like it would be better to notify the driver. Driving off with the animal is only extending the time he is spending in that situation, then abandoning the cat instead of returning her is…

Fire. The. Driver.

“Lyft Driver speeds away before I can collect my cat” is a primal terror I didn’t know I had until yesterday.

I really want to know why the driver did this. Why wouldn’t you just turn around and return the cat? Why did it take *days* to find the cat?

youre forgetting one big thing.

Really seems like Zack Snyder or some NetFlix exec saw a product like D&D, thought “Wow, It sure would be cool to have so much worldbuilding material to work with, but how could we afford to do it?” and decided to scam a TTRPG company out of their labor

This seems more likely.  Given Snyder saying “I’m basing stuff I’m making for Netflix off another company’s IP” likely means that Evil genius would have been in-line for a percentage somewhere.  And Netflix is ham-handedly trying to cut that off before it starts.

It sounds like Netflix wanted an excuse to terminate the contract and then realized that they didn’t have the rights to the bible that parts of the sequel film/game now rely on.

Yeah, like “don’t let people know that you’re enjoying your life” is weird as hell.

What the fuck? “Don’t talk about how much you love your wife in case your ex hears” is certainly a take, I guess, especially from a man who has never married. Strong incel energy to be honest.

The Tasmanian Devil is actually related. I’ve seen it named as a possible surrogate in other articles about resurrecting the Tasmanian Tiger.

Busy is the cool one; Bijou is the shitty one.

Now entering my second decade of never knowing which one is Busy and which one is Bijou. 

This was probably the plan to protect their assets along. He’s gonna file an appeal, and unfortunately the sentence will be reduced, but all of that will take time - and that’s the time when the lawsuits will be stacking up. And you know this was presented to them by the church’s legal department. There’s no way…

Both parties’ attorneys are Scientologists and the ‘church’ is deeply involved in any divorce proceedings and asset division in Scientologist marriages (because the parties agree to grant its “Ministry of Justice” jurisdiction over all civil legal disputes). So you can disabuse yourself of theory #1.

I would not be surprised if this divorce is about protecting money ahead of civil lawsuits. 

Let’s use the proper term - they weren’t over-hunted, they were exterminated. The desired end of the bounty program was the elimination of the species in Tasmania.

The fat-tailed dunnart has been put forward as a candidate, athough it seems kind of small to me.

It’s definitely mostly an act. He thinks breaking gives him a sort of “aw, shucks” vibe that’s charming. Really it just ruins whatever he’s in and is annoying as hell.
