I find with the bulk of people who use the word “fandom” as something other than a pejorative, they are almost uniformly awful to be around. Geeks are worse than obnoxious drunk sports fans.

Pirate cat will be my first training for my next kitten. Also, want to get them more used to riding in a car. My cat meowed the whole 8 hours the last time I moved. She drank a whole bowl of water when we got to the new house.

That’s true, Beth has all the problems Rick has, the reason toxic fans choose to ignore it on Rick and not on her is because Rick has power, and Beth doesn’t. Rick is also male, and this show is aimed at young white males mostly (Tho I am female and adore this show).

The part I find baffling is all the fans who loudly declare that you won’t understand Rick and Morty without knowing quantum physics or whatever. I mean, I get it insofar as STEM nerds love to act like being in STEM makes them better than everybody, but Rick and Morty doesn’t really do science jokes. There’s the…

I am now your follower.

The people I know who love Rick also went through an Ayn Rand phase. Some folks just want a brutal, uncaring, repressive, Mary Sue-type monster to worship.
There’s a lot to like about the show, but at the end of the day it’s too manic and self-loathing to be successful with a broad audience.

Maybe it’s because I’m a girl but I think Beth Smith (or is it Sanchez again?) is so fascinating in that she’s got all of her father’s worst qualities - the drinking, the lack of parental instincts, the irrational attachments - and the toxic, sexist part of the fanbase seems to recognize those as flaws in her, but not…

When I first read the headline I said to myself, “I’m a fan... Am I one of the “worst” fans?” After reading, I can say I’m not. I watch the show and laugh and try to get other people to watch the show and laugh. And I even get most of the jokes, including some of the ones based on obscure references and/or knowledge.

This is a good show to enjoy offline, alone or with friends, and far, far away from shitstorms like Reddit.

you’re a seething little ball of projections and insecurities, arent you?

Alternately, shout “No!” while bopping them on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

You are way ahead of the game. I figure different bones for different uses: small delicate ones for earrings and necklaces, medium sized for brooches and barrettes, large for the handle of a coordinating bag, perhaps?

We desperately need an earnest beauty tutorial on this exciting new look, Jezebel.

Unfortunately, mine only eats food or treats in her dish. So, she’d see that trick coming from a mile away. Maybe it would have been different if I’d raised her, but she was adopted as a senior and is very set in her ways. My only hope for managing her nails and teeth is a trip to the vet.

Burrito is a no go with my oldest. She let’s out this howl that frightened the crap out of me the first time I heard it...it sounds like a woman screaming her head off...plus, she pees and poos as revenge if we get her too mad before the carrier...so, I like to get the carrier out the day before and let it sit…

Thank you for this. Mine is a 5 lb. master contortionist. I have never successfully held her by myself - she wiggles out of everything. I once spent almost three hours trying to get her into a soft-sided carrier. The hard carrier was easy, because it only involved dropping her in and closing the lid.

Caribbean folks are a resilient bunch but this is the ultimate test of our spirit. My heart aches for those preparing to go through this hurricane ordeal once more.

Listening is key. If somebody is willing to tell you exactly what they want, better to just listen and get them that item. If it’s not the most perfect or best one, oh well, they asked, you gave. Don’t try and outsmart them, they know what they want, that’s why they told you. If you ask for cat food, it probably means…

One of the best gifts I got was a huge box full of socks. My mom asked what I wanted for Christmas, and I told her I seriously really did want socks. It’s always awesome when people listen!
