Yeah, I wasn’t going to reply but I think your points are actually interesting. So consider this:

My thanks for trying to explain it to this person. It’s basic female conditioning, if they don’t get it, their problem not mine (or yours) cheers. 

Not if you’re a typical woman. Not if you were taught “don’t make a scene”. Not if it were hammered into your psyche that your role in life is to never make anyone feel uncomfortable. You’re taught to sit politely, be patient. The server is probably stressed out and busy. Don’t be so negative, it will only be a few…

Point A: We need more of these.

Video?! What kind of self-respecting scientist settles for that. I want my endangered species snared, dragged to the surface then displayed in a glass box in an expensive zoo / aquarium, dammit.

I very respectfully disagree. When they play the anthem, it is probably the one opportunity we get to have our national symbol displayed for all to see, and then create a powerful gesture that shows we disagree with its very meaning. The Colin Kapernick gesture is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in my lifetime. No…

Cat this is for immediate storms but especially when I’m driving Accucast, Lightning Maps And Thundercast (Intellicast) interactive map.

Biologist here. Big fan of AV Club, really disappointed to see this reposted here. I was at Hampton Beach when this happened. The full was a juvenile and seriously injured. We’re wiping out their prey and they can’t even get to the water’s edge to catch crabs because asshole humans took over the planet. Hide your…

Please note that, ironically, the prescription mouthwash Chlorahexadine can cause that too. I used it for about a week and indeed my tongue had tuned greyish-black. The real danger at that point was I almost passed out and fell backwards when I saw it. I looked it up on Google and for once, got actual reassurance. My…

Thank you times a million. The other day I was about to swipe my card at a small health food store, and two women actually stepped in front of my body between me and the counter. I looked them in the eye and said “Excuse me, can you step back a bit”? They did, barely. Then they looked at each other and began laughing.…

Ah crap! Thanks for the catch. I’ll fix it if the edit is still working.

YES!!!!!

Also, a lot of spot-on advice here. Many people wouldn’t have the faintest clue that their cat was depressed nor what to do about it. Check with a vet or behaviorist regarding health, and make sure they have plenty of toys and a safe screened window to look out of. The quotes above should be printed out and…

Part-time cat behaviorist here (former veterinary nurse, now Biologist, have trained with shelter behaviorists and such). Different cats have wildly different tolerances. It’s the fearful cats I worry most about, and that suffer the most. Also the persecution of feral cats (not to be confused with strays). Give cats…

Squid typing your daughter

I like this one waaay better.

Nature guide here. When you wipe the area clean of mushrooms, you’re kinda ruining the scavenger hunt I do for kids. Even if you only take a few, it adds up when everyone after you does the same.

The commenter brings this up because it is the newest scam by entitled assholes. Your dog has specific training, correct? He performs a certain task, and you could not simply adopt some random dog with no training to do the same job for you. Well, these scammers are waltzing into restaurants proclaiming that theirs is…

As a former veterinary nurse and shelter worker, let me just say - this bullshit has to stop. If I brought my cat with me to one of these places, people would flip their shit. People need one place to visit that’s free of dogs and their entitled dipshit owners. I’m not even mentioning the health codes. And if the your…

LOL throw them in the toilet? Hell, I’m too lazy to even aim at the garbage. I fling mine in the air towards the hallway and they end up wherever, likely being swept up by my vacuum or broom in the evening. Once they’re out of my eyes, I show them no mercy.
