…I’m a woman.

I’ve recently realized the very real and very understandable boundary that my cat had where he does not wish to be petted (and stimulated, and surprised) while sleeping, even if purring on my lap.

When I started respecting this boundary he started telling me when he wants pet time (by screaming at my face and occasionally, doing a social roll on my lap, which is insanely cute.)

Should be butterfly pasta! We’ve been robbed!

I adopted my cat because he was born angry. He wasn’t even fully weaned before he began attacking his own mother.

He loves his people as long as they don’t dare smell like a different cat. He just hates cats!

At least update your shtick. Harris is on the ballot.

I really do love convenience!

We claimed it is erasure first, and now here’s our flag.

I worked for Walmart in the mid 2000s.

It’s not classist. That place is a hellhole. There’s a reason so many people who work there are on food stamps.

It’s classist to be mad at people who live in food deserts and can’t shop elsewhere. It’s classist to be fine with the system that puts people in jobs that don’t actually support them. It’s classist to look down on folks who get stuck in those jobs. It’s not classist for someone to be unhappy that they got stuck in such a job.

Fuck Walmart.

(I worked there and was a CSM before being able to move to a better job in 2010.)

Oh, no, I have a prescription for ADHD medication. I’ve just always been curious about whether I’d have that experience.

I haven’t done it by now and I’m pushing 40. Don’t you worry about me.

I have pretty crippling ADHD and I always wanted to try cocaine because of all the stories of ADHD folks trying it and feeling calm and normal.

Just curious to see if I have the same experience.

My Dad died almost 20 years ago and I went NC with my abusive mother at about the same time. I never knew my grandparents.

I wanted to add my data to the set, even if it doesn’t help much.

Jesus, that’s good.

My new goal is to use this in casual conversation sometime this year

I’d like to throw out there that (penis size notwithstanding at all) getting good with hands, mouth, and toys is way, way better than just owning and using a penis. You wanna be fantastic in bed? Max multiple skill trees, not just the one.

Definitely half Bengal. My kitty’s daddy was a Bengal and yours has the same brown/orange around the white and the same round and not round spots among the stripes. If he has spots on his tum it’s a done deal.

They’re still SIC at this point but they get some interesting personality quirks, like enjoying pulling themselves up by the front paws on furniture and perching on their front legs on the edge of stuff.

She just likes weed.

This is my boy. He scratches all his posts, his scratchers, everything and is very good about it, but at a certain length he’ll do his usual routine where he’ll gently hook the edge of a blanket and lift it, and drop it to ask someone to tuck him in, and the blanket won’t drop.

He also might catch a claw on the sofa or something. Time to clip claws!

Dammit.

Back to contacts I guess.

I was thinking rabies.

A person who looks wrong.

But are you self-sealing?

Slashdot was founded 26 years ago. I’m almost 40, so when I say this, I mean it-

Don’t condescend to young people about being children. You’re just old now. Embrace it. Explain things nicely or be one of those old people we hated when we were young.
