I really hate writing bios but I know the empty space looks suspicious, so.
I like video games, reading, and trying to write. The profile pic is from Animal Crossing, btw.
Animal morality is simpler. No weird debates about trolleys, no questions about if punishing someone this way is acceptable, no gray areas.
Just "This person is nice, and that person over there is a PROBLEM and they will cease being a problem or cease being, period."

You even hear the man telling her "keep the flame away". You can see it on his face at the end, too. He warned her and she just did it anyway.

This is the kinda shit you expect when toddlers get a hand on a lighter, not an adult who knows better.

Also
If you want the less-effort options you have to accept the downsides
I have online friends. I have to accept the downsides and that they won't even be on a call with me unless I make time for their time zone.

Yeah, while there are valid complaints to be made

As adults, when you acknowledge the there aren't friend opportunities in your neighborhood, you gotta accept the level of effort needed GOES BOTH WAYS

Can't complain that no one hangs out near you when you never hang near them either

My opinions on human rights includes not endorsing people who are happy to do the deed of violating anyone's rights.

Emotionally I want exceptions... But the people doing that deed are also not great members of society

Some focus apps, like Forest, you lock out any "problem" apps while still having access to needed things - like transit apps or a podcast or an ebook.

Hard to get distracted from an ebook if you get pop ups and dire warnings about how your cute tree might die anytime you try to touch social media.

It goes well with the pace of the corgi booty wiggle.

Decade ago so I don't have source
I've heard that there are sometimes stat differences in hospitalization based on having had a shot this year, the prior year, any year in the last 5, vs no shots.

So people are partly protected when they think they aren't, and think "oh the flu isn't that bad"
December 2, 2025 at 11:08 AM
While we're at it
My brother thinks the 1-day illness he gets from the flu shot is "as bad as" the flu itself.

Let's not stop at the big bad scaries. We need PSAs on how bad COMPLETELY unvaccinated flu really is.

The real problem of training cats - they learn just fine BUT they apply it however they want!

That said, tangles can tug at the skin so it's possible your cat thinks the tangle is a serious problem. Dunno if you can convince a big cat to chill out about anything that bothers them.
December 1, 2025 at 7:23 PM
Yeah
Stereotypically they give love in different ways - but not only are both ways good, sometimes the stereotype is wrong and you'll get a clingy cat and an independent dog.

I could be wrong but I think what's changed is you figured out your aesthetic preferences for photo results. Camera angles and such. I think you dialed in how to take a photo for your taste.

I get this reading position-
Laying on my side, paper books sometimes start to rip
Laying on my back I have dropped SO MANY books on my face and getting the light on the book and not in my eyes is hard.
At my age I'd probably need a massage table with a face cut out to do this but... Could work.

Yeah
They rarely have an "in person only" appliance sale good enough for someone to risk it all shoving said appliance into a small car.

And if you're not doing that, why not shop at home in your pj's? You can measure the space while looking at the listing.

Freed a cat from a linen closet the other night on my way to the bathroom. Must have been in there hours.

It tried to get into the bathroom with me anyway - no water or litter box in there at all.

It meowed loudly the entire time I was in the bathroom and this cat doesn't even like me.
November 28, 2025 at 3:02 PM
He gives enough of a shit to cover his hair
Where others who do the charity for pr are too busy checking camera angles, he's ASKING people if he can put a plate in front of them AND CALLING NEEDY PEOPLE "SIR" while he serves them

I could cry. He's even careful to hand over plates in a clean way!
November 27, 2025 at 7:33 PM
I don't know how to put this but the fact that he covered his hair

So many bullshit ass pr things I've seen where people don't cover their hair when serving food. It kills me every time

And this man kept his whole fucking suit on, put on apron gloves and a hat and spoke to people respectfully
November 27, 2025 at 7:30 PM
That said, it IS frustrating seeing a cat WATCH a creature instead of doing a damn thing useful about it.

Even bad hunting cats can at least scare the things into considering NOT openly scurrying across the floor at least. But just sitting there is rude and entitled cat behavior.

Hooray for multitasking!

That sort of habit-stacking sounds like it makes it more enjoyable to get out of bed on a sad morning.

I've gotten sick with no soup or crackers in the house, and right before laundry day with no comfy pajamas

Sched and plan for your shots like you expect to get ill and it's a pleasant surprise if you don't.
November 26, 2025 at 1:38 PM
My brother has insisted for over a decade that the flu shot gets him "just as sick" as the flu

To which I say - even if that was true (very much not) why not fucking SCHEDULE that shit?

Go buy your fave soups, cough drops, get out your most comfy pajamas and set up a comfort movie marathon?

Tagging AI into an argument is the same as saying I'M the one that needs things to be explained with crayons!
November 24, 2025 at 8:44 PM
Hell - I rarely have the patience or energy to come up with a new insult

But giving someone a look of disgust and calling them an asshat works well for most things. Saying "I don't have the crayons to explain it to you" works for most anything else.

I'm good so long as the space is "real"
Control uses unreal space, pocket dimension type shit. Can't find my way anywhere smoothly, even if I've been to a location ten times it's still a search to get there without fast travel.
