It sets a bad precedent. Redditors will learn that if they want something from the company, all they need to do is create a petition. Reddit staff need to be able to shut down specific boards and perform other operations that occasionally piss of the community. They definitely don’t want the community to know they…

She may be terrible, but this petition is the worst way of going about getting her fired. Reddit is already 1 step above a rabid mob. I can’t imagine the Reddit executive board wants to give any sort of appearance that they listen to the whims of their users when it comes to employment decisions.

Moving his water bowl far away from his food may help. Cats will instinctively not drink water near their food source.

Here! I had a long hectic week and lacked the energy/motivation to do anything. I stayed in with the cat and watched the Lord of the Rings (because freedom?).

As someone who actually had a bad reaction to a vaccine (encephalitis), can I just tell you how much I hate anti-vaxers? They are the absolute worst. For the record, I nearly died from having a vaccine and I still am up to date on everything. They can all suck it.

That is so true. It’s the same thing with cults. Everyone likes to think they’re “too smart” to join a cult, yet cults find members all the time. All takes is the right message and the right external pressures to make someone, anyone, vulnerable.

They aren’t as delicate as horse racing would have you believe. Race horses are all incredibly young. Most retire at 4 or 5. In contrast, other competitive horses (dressage, jumping) are still learning the basics and won’t even begin to compete until they’re 10 or 12. Horses need those years for their muscles to fully…

I like the picture where she is sitting on the shelf and has moved the figurines to the side. That is Bossy’s shelf, guys. You need to find a new place to be.

Agree. I love my parents, but Facebook on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day feels more like a competition than a genuine expression of love.

Have I ever told you you’re my hero for this summary?

I love that he’s still friends with them too. They’ll come to big events at the restaurant, etc. And they are never the butt of the joke. It’s treated so matter of factly and that’s SO WONDERFUL and refreshing.

The Simpsons (at least in the first 15 seasons) were nice to each other. The main difference between FG and the Simpsons was that the Simpsons seemed to genuinely like each other at the end of the day. The Simpsons’s movie is actually a really great example of the family dynamic and how they always come through for…

What bothers me about Family Guy is that there is a running joke of “HAHAH MEG IS UGLY WE ALL HATE HER”. That’s not a joke. That’s just mean. And unnecessary.

Same. I’m guessing my multiple wrist fractures and surgical plates are probably coming to play here :P

Predators also don’t abandon their kills for smaller, lower calorie prey that would be difficult/annoying to catch. What bugs me about Jurassic Park/King Kong/etc is that it ascribes human sadistic tendencies to apex predators when everything in nature would indicate that they don’t behave this way. A big predator…

Someone else in the thread described it as the Florida of Washington. I think it’s the best descriptor I can think of. The eastern half of the state is very different from the rest, both climate wise and people wise. Spokane. It has a lot of weird people, both good weird and not so good weird. There was a Neo-Nazi…

This festival has fewer orgies and gladiator matches. Probably.

As someone who went to high school there, I can’t think of any way of describing it other than this is the most Spokane thing I’ve seen in a while. I wish I was surprised. I have to say “offensive and hilarious” is a great descriptor for Spokane. It should really be the city motto.
