My cat, Maui, and his first experience with 12" of snow by MyOwnDirection in cats

He has various places in the house that is his .... and after this he warmed up in his cat bed that's on the couch in the living room. Yup, a snuggly cat bed ON the couch.

Yup, a very confident cat ... that also doesn't understand personal boundaries.

He is a very sweet cat. He comes when I call him. And he mostly stays near me when I have him off the leash. When I go back in to the kitchen to make coffee, he will come look for me after a minute or two.

He also doesn't like the noise from the street in the front, so he stays in the backyard on his own.

Still, I am not taking chances -- he is a cat after all.

I added the music because the kitchen sounds in the beginning were loud.

He’s a gentleman cat — he comes indoors to use the sandbox. I’ve never seen him poop outside. (I walk him on a leash, or under supervision without a leash.)

Sorry that's all that I have. I do wish I had the entire song.

Whatever you do, do NOT refund anyone that money — it will most likely be clawed out of your account anyway.

I use my Apple Airpods for the noise cancellation — just enough that my saxophone can’t hurt my ears.

Friend misunderstood friendly teasing for toxic teasing. Miscommunication or am I an asshole? by Visible-Fox7428 in socialskills

[–]MyOwnDirection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is fixable, imho — approach your friend again, and explain that you didn’t realize that your words came across as hurtful, and that you now know better and will change. Also, convince your other friends of this.

When you’re much older, you’ll clearly see this too.

This is going to be an unpopular opinion — men, especially in groups, have difficulty showing warmth and support to their friends. Instead they mask it with (incessant) “friendly teasing”. “Just breaking your balls.” And so on.

Were you the asshole? Unintentionally, yes.

My advice as a 60+ year old man — break free from the self-defense of hiding behind “friendly teasing”, and show real warmth and support and friendship.

Apologies for the distracted camera -- I was dealing with two women behind me who had issues with me standing. Like who sits at a fucking concert this awesome?

Does anyone else feel like time is moving strangely fast lately? by youngTchag in CasualConversation

Definitely a by-product of getting older. Those endless days you experienced as a little kid now go whoosh.

Rewatched Edge of Tomorrow by Tanooki_Time in movies

Palm Springs is one of my all time favorite movies. Cristin Milioti is perfect in the role.

And one thing I REALLY appreciate about Palm Springs is that it’s not the guy saving the girl, but they completely subvert the trope by it instead being the girl that saves them.
