So glad you posted this. I like cats, but I also like our native birds and I’m fed up with people thinking that cat predation is “natural.” It isn’t, and it’s very destructive. Even if your cat is a lousy hunter, he’s still disrupting feeding and mating behavior. Keep them inside, lead-train them, or make a catio.

This is a lot of delusional rationalization. Cats are not in any way natural predators for small songbirds. The birds didn’t evolved with cat predation and domestic cats can’t open the carcass of a small bird. But they sport-hunt anyway because that’s their instinct. The house sparrows might learn to evade them, but…

Here’s an example of someone who thinks electricity is priced too cheap so it’s ok to waste it. Are you also the guy who remote-idles his truck for 20 minutes?

The price of the bulb has nothing to do with anything because it’s a low-cost item. LEDs use a fraction of the energy. That's all you need to know.

Tell the bagger you’ll do it yourself. It’s not like they’re going to be offended by not working.

Beastie Ball. The green one. There’s a softer version too if you’re a wimp.

Define "decimate." Maybe you should stick to a terrarium.

Everyone under the age of 20 seems to have been permanently damaged by TikTok. This is probably what the Chinese were after.

Keeping your hat on makes it look like you’re about to leave. It’s weird and rude.

Came here to say this. If you leave without some black sesame red bean mochi, you might as well not have made the trip.

“Cosmetic” reasons often have more significant long-term effects. Crooked teeth and malocclusions are more difficult to clean, make you more susceptible to mouth sores, and can contribute to later problems with breathing and sleep apnea. Many malocclusions cannot be fixed after adolescence and any correction is going…

I have a STEM degree and a six-figure job, but thanks for the concern, low-info man.

Lol, clearly you have reading comprehension issues. Low-education people usually do.

No one going to a for-profit is majoring in art history, dumbass. Way to display your ignorance and insensitivity at the same time.

This is as dumb as thinking that the national debt is like your credit card debt. It isn’t, and the economy doesn’t work that way. Means-tested student loan forgiveness is more like a tax cut for people who are currently being severely overtaxed, which will benefit the economy and hence the tax base.

Yup. I’m pretty fed up with “progressives” dumping on Joe Biden for representing his state decades ago. It should come as a surprise to no one that the entire Delaware caucus—including both Dem senators—voted in favor of BAPCPA.

There’s a whole range of what “need the money” can mean and pretty much everyone qualifies for loans. If you got Pell, then you probably also got work-study and loans as part of your package to cover minimal expenses. If you didn’t get Pell, it’s likely that you borrowed to avoid getting a job or to make your life a…

And if you drop dead at 65, your descendants won’t get “your” Social Security money. Your point is what, exactly?

It was ALWAYS nearly impossible to discharge student loan debt through bankruptcy. I filed Chapter 7 in 2004 when I was dead broke with no assets and $20K in student loan debt. Not one penny of the student loan debt was dischargeable.

I think the point is that Pell is a good indicator of how badly someone needed to borrow the money in the first place. Any set of criteria is going to unfairly benefit someone and screw someone else.
