That’s....not how cats work. Most of them, anyway. Your neighbors are either dumb, or into weird performance art.

I do not still work for her! And it was one of those teachable things that made me add to my list of petsitting conditions.

Good luck to you. Neighbors can be the worst and I share your feelings on outdoor cats.

One of my neighbors has a rooster I want to kill and eat.

I’ve never heard intersex referred to as an old school term. I know some people with intersex variations don’t love the term to apply to themselves because they prefer to just use whichever gender label applies to them, but I’d be curious if you’re aware of any other umbrella term that can be used to describe…

It says something about us as a people that we seem to be holding a bubblegum pop artist to a higher standard of behavior and sensitivity that we do the president.

Eh. Generally they’re saying “I can’t recall” as meaning “No, but if it turns out there was a minor mention or some other weird thing that comes up, I don’t want to be charged with purjury”.

I like this a lot, and one of the best things about it is all the angry and/or confused straight cis white boys who are all like “But that’s not what the movie’s about!” and “Why does everything have to be gay these days?!” These are totally the same guys who claimed lady ghostbusters ruined their childhood.

I agree. This is making me uncomfortable. I am beginning to suspect that OP is playing out a long-game troll scenario, and I do not dig it.

Sorry to be that person but . . . this post is really raising a red flag for me. I think this person might be trolling or otherwise trying to pull people into some sort of weird fantasy OP has constructed. It’s just a gut feeling I’m having here, but proceed with caution.

Haha! Gertrude sounds like an interesting cat.

I’m sorry about your friend. What did you end up naming the cat?

I’m so, so horrified by it. And while I appreciate all the people in the comments explaining about various executive function things that make cleaning harder, my brain basically shut down and was wailing at the thought of the squalor. And that poor cat! It’s probably shitting on the floor because his owner doesn’t…

Oh my God, this is VILE. Is this just the week for gross rotting shit? Because between this and Captain Awkward’s post about the roommate so filthy the apartment got bugs, I’m fully skeeved out.  

Right? Among his many crimes, Trump has killed satire.

HOLY SHIT what makes you think it’s okay to even threaten your child with a belt? Ever thought that might be why she’s in therapy? Jesus Christ, dude.

THANK YOU! This guy has been giving me the creeps for months. Sadly I think not a troll, just a really crappy parent :(

ALL OF THE STARS FOR THIS!!!☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Okay this has been bothering me a while. There’s a long history of Joker and Thief making comments about his daughter that make me concerned. I used to be a teacher and I concur, all my mandatory reporter alarms are going off.

Please don’t threaten your child with a belt. Even if you don’t intend to use it. I feel like you are dancing around on the edges of extremes.
