Today marks the one year anniversary of our beloved cat's death. He was the sweetest fatso ever. We miss him everyday and his brother still yowls for him every night.

Cats are irreplaceable. You'll miss Gigi forever. Remember her and she'll never die.

Oh I've seen this in the past. It's part of a video (documentary?) on phobias. This guy had lobster phobia and they were trying "shock treatment" to see if it would help. IIRC it didn't.

LOL I still have the original CD for Homeworld.

I prefer to sit on the chair.

But hey, if we could convert all the antivax, anti global warming, anti abortion, Qanon, and flat earth nuts into UFO nuts I'd be all for it.

He temporarily lost connectivity with the alien overlords.

This reminds me of many moons ago, when I was a young man still in the chase. There was this girl I was really interested and one day we kind of clicked. She invited me to a concert of some small band I didn't know about, but I said "yeah, sure I will go with you!" (The mission always comes first!)

We get there and it's this small to medium sized stadium full of young people. She was sitting next to me and things were going generally well.

Lights turn off, the band enters the stage and starts playing some rock with metal overtones. I start to think "This can't be so bad..."

Well, famous last words. A few minutes after the band starts playing, the song takes a turn for the worse. The guitar mellows out, the band stops and the singer asks everybody in the fucking stadium to hold hands, close their eyes and pray with him... The lyrics changed to Jesus this, Jesus that and never came out of the rut. It was two hours of that.

Lord Almighty... If you indeed existed you would not have allowed something like that to happen...

Behind the elephant 😁

Also magnets don't fly out to space by themselves (at least not yet) 😁

Does that letter look like a little gay GOP elephant or is it just me?

And here I am, thinking BDSM meant Bible Discussion & Study Meeting...

I partially agree with your comment.

I'm not saying that we should not improve lawns (by removing them), but rather, that we should also go after the big offenders, and maybe focus on them first because that's where the most immediate gains are.

Every time we have a drought, I see the old drama of taking shorter showers, people filling buckets in the shower to flush their toilets later, etc, all while farmers are planting Alfalfa to export it for cheap. IIRC, alfalfa was the largest consumer of irrigation water, which breaks down the farmers mantra that "we are using water to grow your food".

Even when you consider almonds, which we do eat, it's not a staple food. Nobody will starve if the almond industry collapses. They make a lot of money but mostly for a closed set of farmers. They're also not a large employer on the state.
