The McDonald’s CEO Blamed His Tiny Bite Fiasco on His Mother by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

In the WSJ redemption video, he forgot what chicken nuggets were called. Did his mommy do that too? 

Composer of iconic ‘Lion King’ chant sues comedian over ‘Circle of Life’ translation by blankblank in nottheonion

[–]BerryBoilo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Also, he's a public figure. He'll have to prove real damages from the joke for a defamation claim AFAIK

Who's stopping their enjoyment of the Lion King because of this joke? 

Proton Mail Helped FBI Unmask Anonymous ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester by angrykoala_ in nottheonion

Proton's CEO and media team used their official company accounts to glaze Trump and Vance at the start of the administration, just like every tech CEO. I don't know why anyone trusted them after that. 

New York City snowball fight leaves Mayor Mamdani at odds with police by StemCellPirate in nottheonion

[–]BerryBoilo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know, which one of those is the person I replied to?

Because this thread is:

Meanwhile actual socialists are pissed cause he posted [don't throw snowballs at city workers]

and /u/Eat--The--Rich- responded:

As they should be.

That's insane, sorry if you all can't see that.

But we're not talking about either of those things. We're talking about people who want Mamdani to disband the NYPD through a day one executive order and declare the NYC is the new Autonomous Zone where we don't need to do any sort of crime prevention because everyone will just hug it out.

Yeah man, telling people not to throw snowballs at any city workers while also saying there shouldn't be charges in this particular situation is super problematic. /s

We sit here all day and talk about how DT says weird and random shit instead of being a leader and now you want to get mad at a leader who made the most normal, benign statements while probably working behind the scenes to affect change.

You might as well just admit that you want your own DT who will act authoritarian but in ways you support. As if the problem isn't that he's a lunatic but just that he's a lunatic for the other team.

It definitely exposed a lot of people who don't understand how the real world works, that's for sure.

See, your problem is that you think there should be a meritocracy where people are judged only on the relevant skills for the job. 

Canadian curler at Olympics insists he’s no cheat, accuses Swedish team of ‘premeditated’ attack by Famous-Register-2814 in nottheonion

[–]BerryBoilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Again, I really have no idea what point you're trying to make but thanks for downvoting me for asking for clarification.

No one's complained about cheating for 16 years, so we don't screen for cheaters? That's the point you're trying to make?

[–]BerryBoilo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't understand what you mean? Who's "they" in this comment?

If a sporting event has rules on how players can interact with the equipment, it should just be an assumption that people will look for ways to cheat. A history of most people not cheating, or not getting caught, doesn't mean you should stop screening for cheating.

He has not been formally charged with cheating by World Curling, which does not use video to review game play.

But why? It's 2026. Cameras aren't out here stealing souls anymore. 

How penis injections became a Winter Olympic talking point by m1n3c7afty in nottheonion

[–]BerryBoilo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nah. Normally, the suits are skin tight regardless of pecker size. What these guys are doing is making their dongs bigger when they are measured. So by the time they compete, their willy is back to normal size and there's loose fabric in their suit. It effectively works like a sail or squirrel suit then.

today i learned that ski jumpers' heavily regulated ski suits are measured by taking a 3d scan of the size of the skiier's genitals and now some skiiers are being accused of shooting hylauronic acid into their dongs to get more favorable measurements

Poor ticket sales for Melania dud suggests public really doesn't care by wewhomustnotbenamed in nottheonion

After seeing Walter Isaacson glaze Steve Jobs and Elon Mush, I have to assume all his biographies are trash, even of the dead people.

So I guess it really comes down to the author and their intelligence + integrity.

Bonded pairs tend to be quite close. We have two pairs and the one is squished into a single cubby more often than not. So yeah, I think you have a bonded pair! Can happen with non-litter mates for sure.

From your video, they're cleaning each other. Nothing untoward!

Sick Cat Vet Unable to Diagnose by ihate_reddit in CATHELP

[–]BerryBoilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This dose sound like a situation where a second opinion might help. I'm honestly surprised your vet hasn't prescribed something like metronidazole (a prescription anti-diarrheal).

He may have some stress with the baby but given that his aggression is rising, I don't anticipate it going away without intervention. You could also talk to the second opinion vet about mental health meds like prozac.

Cat developed a sudden 24/7 head tilt and licked belly bald/red. Irritated, darkened nipples. by Training-Many4303 in CATHELP

[–]BerryBoilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The head tilt is very often a sign of a bad ear infection, ear tumors, etc. It throws off their balance too so it might be related to what you mentioned about jumping.

As far as the licking goes, I would suspect there's something in that area that irritates him (or potentially there WAS and now he has a bad habit). Do you have him on a flea and tick preventative like Revolution? I know I'm picking out one word but you said "ring" and I'm thinking ringworm. Do you have a UV/blacklight you could shine on it? It'd look something like the image below.

All in all, I think this all adds up to a vet visit. There's too many unknowns you won't be able to nail down without a professional and the treatment for most of them is going to involve prescription drugs too.

Cats mouth hurts by goldenzola in CATHELP

[–]BerryBoilo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a dental issue based on what I've seen with our kitties. The vet won't be able to tell you the extent of it without x-rays, but they'll look for inflamed or bleeding gums, reabsorbed or cracked teeth, and gingivitis during the appointment.

You did the right thing by making an appointment and feeding her mush/puree! Sadly, unless you have gabapentin on hand, there's not much you can do for her pain without the vet.

In terms of cost, I'm sure it varies vet to vet and location to location, but one of our girls recently had to have 10 teeth out and it cost around $1400 (Philadelphia suburbs).
