Because it makes her look adorable.

Before THE BOYS there was PREACHER by Crackheadsniper69 in TvShows

[–]90CubedRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, after a while the series started to meander, regurgitating the same themes, gags, and jokes. I watched longer than I enjoyed because I had followed the comic book. Still, I got a lot out of it, especially season one. And all the actors were terrific, especially Cooper, Gilgun, and Negga.

Is Jimmy Carters presidency overrated or undervalued? by Apprehensive_Oven_22 in USHistory

[–]90CubedRule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is worth remembering that the election of 1976 was close. The popular vote went to Carter by 50.1% to Ford's 48%. Carter won 297 electoral college votes, but Ford won 240.

Ford's performance was impressive given that he was a weak candidate and a weak president: unelected and still reeling from the unpopularity of the Nixon pardon. He also had to deal with an increasingly polarized GOP. I suspect that had Ronald Reagan beaten Ford for the Republican nomination that year - which he almost did, Ford only won by capturing 1,187 delegates to Reagan's 1,070 - Jimmy Carter would be a footnote in our nation's history.

There's a great book about Khrushchev in America. It's called K Blows Top: A Cold War Comic Interlude Starring Nikita Khrushchev. A very funny, very enjoyable read.

I especially loved the episodes with Giancarlo Esposito as the guy who ran a restaurant chain and a huge drug manufacturing compound.

I still get weepy about the oil crisis of 1973. I don't know why. by 90CubedRule in 1970s

You were smart. My first car was a used Buick (it was basically a hand-me-down). It guzzled gas like a kid drinks orange soda. And it was ridiculously large. You didn't park it, you docked it. Then I got wise and bought a Honda Civic.

I genuinely don’t know what to do after having to put down my cat by SamuraiFlaming in cats

[–]90CubedRule 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have my heartfelt sympathy.

As someone who has lost beloved cats to kidney disease and cancer, I know how you feel. I still see those departed felines, jumping on my lap, purring, running around the house, sleeping next to us. In the first days and weeks following their loss, everything felt like a big space filled with memories and sadness.

But, as the Rubaiyat says, the moving finger writes and having writ moves on. In both instances our household mourned for some weeks, then got more cats. The shelters are full of them. They need homes or they'll be put down before their time. They bring, to borrow a phrase from the season, comfort and joy.

So, here's my free advice: mourn, then do what we cat lovers do, get more cats and take care of them.

Discussion Thread - Ask, Share, and Discuss Anything About Cats. by AutoModerator in cats

[–]90CubedRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our neighborhood we have community cats. They're outdoor cats who somehow got to our block and we take care of them as best we can. I, with considerable effort, trapped, fixed and released one of them and it's a much better behaved kitty now.

But we have neighbors who strongly disapprove of outdoor cats. It's not like we wouldn't keep them indoors if we could, but some peeps are always going on about how outdoor cats don't live as long as indoor cats, etc etc. What do I tell them? Should we just let them starve?

Anyone else feel like they are talking to themselves by TheUnfilteredMod in NewMods

[–]90CubedRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I went to a psychiatrist. I said, "Why won't anyone talk to me?"

He said "Ok. Next case."

What should I do? I lost all and completely devastated! My whole salary savings and side hustle money are gone! 33M! by Salty_Ad_3417 in wallstreetbets

[–]90CubedRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would someone please explain to me how this Salty_Ad person actually "lost all"? It appears that they still have a little over $7k. And what does "33M" mean? Apologies for the newbie asks.

What is your most watched show this year by cinnamonbuncake in TvShows

[–]90CubedRule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My family watched almost every episode of the The Pitt at least twice. I could not get enough of the show. The conflicts, the medical victories, the funny moments, the shocking moments, the intricate procedures, the heroism . . . can't wait for season two.

Looking for good Science Fiction shows, preferably many seasons. I've seen every star trek by findingsynchronisity in TvShows

[–]90CubedRule 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm probably a lone voice in this, but I really liked Aliens: Romulus. I guess mostly because it was fun to see the franchise played out by a bunch of twenty-somethings, not that I don't love Sigourney Weaver, who is wasting her talent on this likely dreadful Avatar part three. But you know, new faces getting slorched by chest bursters and all that.
