Oh god that’s terrible I’m so sorry! I’ve been dealing with end of life care for a pet and been about the most mentally unstable person ever since I found out so I completely empathize. Take care of yourself. :(

I mean, I hate to compare real life to Monty Python, but in the movie when they wanted her to weigh the same as a duck they just pushed down on the duck side and propped hers up.

I still find it an issue. He said it was bad in the same way subtle racists say “of course racism is bad, but really should they be so mad?” He added a dismissive “yeah this is bad” without engaging with it in any meaningful way.

Just one?

The comment clearly states that she’s looking for the books that the commenter she’s responding to is using in her research. I assume she would ask the commenter to get her answer, which she did and got your snark in return.

I didn’t say “educated”, I said “seek out education”. Those are two very different kinds of people; one is commonly used as a measure of intelligence and one is not.

Yes, you are truly alone in your high-level worrying. In fact, you’re so intelligent that it doesn’t matter that you can’t figure out that the person you’re responding to is not the teacher in the thread. That’s how smart you are!

There are many, many terrible people in the world that specifically prey on people that aren’t highly critical thinkers, that don’t seek out education on various topics. Many of the people that are part of the “awfulness of the world” are the people that prey on those who don’t know better.

You literally opened this comment thread with comparing yourself to “less intelligent” people. And now you’re asking why people would compare you to others.

Interesting that you read that as them failing to make cats extinct; I read it as they’re one of the mistakes that are leading to more animal extinction.

Replying to bump this up. If you can’t handle taking care of an indoor cat, don’t get a pet.

For the record, I’ve never heard of a “cat cull”. I assumed wild cats, but I had no frame of reference in which to say “oh yes, a cat cull.”

The white is raw onion. The orange/yellow stuff is most likely a similar sauce to Big Mac sauce.

So can I trademark a number and then sue anyone who says that number is their lucky number? Is that how this works now?

If you say so. You’re already at a point where you don’t understand the most basic concept of what I’m saying, so. :)

I never said she was required to do anything, or that I expected anything of her. Thanks for playing though!

Well, when you put it that way, that solves my problem! It never occurred to me to try that! You should be an internet therapist. I recommend you go find every comment where someone makes themselves emotionally vulnerable and tell them what they should do to solve all their life issues. You’re a natural!

The point of my comment is that it’s not uncommon for people to have that issue and, in my own personal experience dealing with it, comments like this that judge so harshly are very unhelpful. It’s difficult enough to overcome my own programming without thoughtless people publicly judging the choices I make,…

I think the difference is you are reading into it; I’m not. I’m taking her at her word that she thinks scooping out bagels is “stupid” because “inbetween nonsense is ridiculous”, and the only options for bread should be don’t eat any bread or “FUCKING EAT BREAD”.

I had this really cute idea a while back that I would make bento meals, pack them in advance the night before, and eat them very cutely at lunchtime. I would have rice, chopsticks, maybe cute designs, it would be super cool!
