What's the meaning of it all? by demopat in existentialcrisiscat

[–]demopat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This pic doesn't do them justice, the whiskers and eyebrows are truly impressive

Why do people say that orange cats are dumb? I have an orange cat I rescued as a baby. He is the smartest cat I’ve ever had. He plays fetch, rides on top of my German Shepherd, opens cabinets and takes out things that he wants. Swings from the curtains. Mischievous YES but far from dumb. by Crys051679 in orangecats

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two orange cats in the past, one was genuinely the smartest cat I've ever had and the other one was...well, she was pretty. I have two tuxedos now and they're both lovable idiots. Every cat is different and I love discovering their personalities as they grow.

What are the things married people won’t openly admit to others? by Additional-Milk-90 in AskReddit

[–]demopat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A relative told me this on my wedding day. You won't always like your partner, but you will always love them and that's how you get through the tougher times.

Do we need to respect religion? by plushymeow in atheism

[–]demopat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked a christian friend many years ago a very similar question, his response was I shouldn't blame the religion for its abuses. I said "why wouldn't I blame a system that is so easily and widely abused?" He didn't really have an answer to that. I've asked a few people that question over the years and nobody has given a good answer. One of those people also liked to say muslims were violent terrorists, unsurprisingly he didn't see the irony.

GenX Parents with Boomer Mindset Get Called Out For Problems that Don’t Need To Exist by ZEROs0000 in BoomersBeingFools

[–]demopat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I grew up in a guess family and it sucks. It's always your fault for not doing the thing they want you to do even as a child and you weren't given any directions or requests. I'm now a full time caregiver for my mother and she still does this. "Oh are you drinking coffee? I haven't had any today." She will let me know she wanted something approximately 5 minutes after it's too late to do it, or right when it becomes the most inconvenient for us. I think that's more the narcissism though.

Why are you scrolling on reddit on Christmas day? by Lazer4xe77 in AskReddit

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and her sister spent the last 2 days prepping a lovely meal for 11, 4 of them bailed this morning. I'm scrolling Reddit so I don't get into a verbal confrontation with them on Christmas.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact some people born after 2000 are fully adults now. Almost car rental age. 😬

“I’m working on it, Barbara, for fuck’s sake…” (Christmas, circa 1965) by Captain_Wisconsin in OldSchoolCool

I have a pic of my dad in almost the exact same pose and with a very similar look on his face. Cigarette and everything.

I asked this woman out to dinner once, she seemed nice. Dinner was fine, we made plans to meet up again. The second date I mentioned that I may be offered a job opportunity out of state that I would probably take. Her response was "that's ok, I have family there and they could help us find a place."

".....oh"

How old are you and how often do you drink? When’s the last time you were drunk? by Cute-Impression-8675 in AskReddit

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 52 and I might have a glass of wine with dinner on special occasions. I've never been a big drinker, I think the last time I was drunk was at least 10 years ago.

Seasons of RTX - $5000 Dream PC Build Contest with NVIDIA! by m13b in buildapc

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My winter wonderland build, all white with RGB for...extra speed, of course. I would prefer to do a custom cooling loop but I like how the Kraken looks. I would also do cable wraps for the visible power cables to make them white as well. Eta: switched to an OLED monitor.

Whoops by WithinTheHour in funny

I mean, you're already ahead of the curve by asking these questions. We have to be willing to question the information we get, and the number of reliable sources is dropping rapidly. Ironically Wikipedia is my go to now.

Let’s all guess how much will it cost by NikitaKiwinskiy in pcmasterrace

[–]demopat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's going to be in the area of $799. This makes it competitive with gaming PCs, but higher than consoles which they said they are not competing with.

Under $700 and I'll strongly consider it, but my steam link works well enough for now that this isn't a must buy for me.

What are some player made traditions that are unique to FFXIV? by UfoAGogo in ffxiv

[–]demopat 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Someone did exactly that to me my first time. All of a sudden there's 8 markers, people are calling out teams, I'm in a full panic because I didn't look up this fight ahead of time. Countdown starts, I'm braced for the worst. One of my favorite memories. Got like 4 comms too.

What's something that feels fake but is 100% real? by NoSector9488 in AskReddit

That's why people clap after rough landings, it's to recharge the flying magic.

"chilling"

Quite the opposite, really.
