"I thought you said your potpourri smelled like "Girl Scout Cookies?" This smells a lot like your last potpourri that you claimed smelled like "Lemon Cake," and frankly, I think they both smell like skunk's ass."

I am helping with a bridge engineering contest for middle and high school kids, and one of the "team" names (it's just one kid) was Truss Issues. I thought that was clever.

I was worried when I had to scroll this far, but your's is actually better than what I was imagining.
Mine says, "ehhhhhhh, whatever," and listens to Liam Lynch's "United States of Whatever" 24/7. The chorus plays immediately after he weakly fumbles his way through your drywall and says his tagline. I'll stop now.

Reply to comment by TheKittyIsSoBitty in what Pokémon battle is about to happen here? by MrWest120690
I'm not sure this cat has an owner. I feel like a large proportion of the population doesn't. I'm most confused by the person who recorded this. If it's the owner of an outdoor cat watching this happen, then it's horrible. I understand that it's not the cats fault in a way, so I do feel a bit dumb for what I said initially, but I do hate that this is a situation that any of us have to discuss because nothing about it is good, and I'm sorry to say that I hope the owl would win since their numbers are probably much lower than housecats.

Sorry, I didn't see your comment about your cat. I was really using the term "you" in a general context, but I do appreciate the fact that you're responsible with your cat.
My problem is that I've seen too much reckless pet ownership to care about this cat more than the native owl it's challenging. I'm sorry if it sounded cold, I love animals more than people in most situations. To imply that I would ever be unkind to an animal hits pretty deep. I'd love to tell you more about my obsession with owls, eagles, kestrels, woodpeckers, titmouse, chickadees, hummingbirds, etc, but this probably isn't the subreddit for that. I've got a cat, too, and she's spoiled.

Hey, if you leave your cat outside, this is a risk you take. Maybe the owl will leave it on your porch like the "gifts" the cat kills and drops on your porch. At least the owl will eat its prey.
This sounds a lot angrier than I meant it to. Sorry, our neighbors leave their cats out and we've had to stop feeding birds/squirrels/chipmunks because of it.

This is how I know I'm living in a simulation...I zoom in on an interesting post and of all places that Reddit exists, it's from my tiny US state. Since it is WV, hopefully they're not siblings.

The Bull Moose Express is another wild story from the WV coalfields. It wasn't a huge event, and I don't think anyone died, but firing a machine gun from a company train car into a camp full of families is a bit terrifying.

Reply to comment by Clearlybeerly in Ask Anything Wednesday - Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science by AutoModerator
From what I can tell, these people keep referring to any type of known matter existing anywhere in any amount as "space," ignoring the infinite void that you and I and everyone else seem to be wondering about. I think they're saying that all matter in the void is expanding outwardly from one singular point, not that there isn't an endless expanse of nothingness for it to expand into. I don't know this for sure, but the ones who do seem to be ignoring the entire concept of "yes, the paint is expanding onto the blank canvas, but how big is the canvas, and does it ever end?"

Could it just be a literal chunk of frozen human shit from whoever is on the plane? I don't know if the spaceplane has anyone on board, but if so, after 90 days in orbit there would be plenty of poo.

What about fawning over every word they say? Seems they start helping your campaign and your bank account at that point. You just have to give up all of your morals and your national security.

We are calling everyone's bluffs all at once apparently. I know people will find a way to criticize the decision to engage with dangerous leaders, but I think it's pretty badass compared to just kissing their asses for 4 years.
