It'd be nice, but I'm not ever going to be offended at a corporation for not donating to something that benefits me directly (but I will get angry if they donate to hate groups, etc)

And some people are suuuuuuper passionate about it too, as if Christmas lights being sold in stores is the worst. Thing. Ever.

Actually, no. I was being snarky as fuck but in no way do I think I’m “better” than the lady serving me at Starbucks. Think of a lawyer telling a doctor how to cure diseases: “the guy who files my divorce papers told me how to do brain surgery”. Does that sound derisive? Is it less derisive-sounding because people…

EXACTLY

It’s a thing and it is divine. I’m not particularly a coffee lover, either—would rather have green tea on a normal day. But CPLs have my basic bitch white girl heart.

That hasn't become a thing in Canada—yet.

Meanwhile I’ll be pleased at the comforts and life-changing advances that modern society offers alongside all that consumerism...while spending my life doing the things that everyone else is (apparently) solemnly thankful for.

People getting upset over seeing holiday decorations in stores might consider that life is pretty great, seeing as they have the time and energy to be upset about tinsel.

Also the veterans who’ve had their poppy collection money stolen. Some people are sick.

Good to know the dates at the same.

Keep it indoors. If you must let it outside, harness train it. This is safest for both kitteh and all the neighbourhood fauna.

Wing Commander, 1 and 2, plus all the expansions.

Father-daughter dances always struck me as creepy. Dancing with your daughter at a wedding? Cute. Taking her to a dance where you’re surrounded by other men and their child-age daughters? Err...

She certainly has enough personality and flexibility in her nature for me to think that’s entirely plausible.

I give her cut-up chicken breast with her wet kitty food, haha

I wonder how it works in this case? The cat sleeps in the bedroom with us, and our sleep patterns aren’t exactly consistent. Hell, when I’m tired from navy stuff and take naps, she’s more than happy to nap with me, even if it disrupts her normal dinner time by several hours—she does always have kibble available, but…

Man, I think cat HQ started a file on me at birth...my dad is a cat person., and his parents before him.

SHE WOULD KNOW

See those eyes? They know things.
