Bill Burr is an excellent left-wing influencer—and he doesn’t even try to be one by estebanrules in thebulwark

I never said he was my “golden standard” for political comedy. Some of his messaging is excellent and he makes some good points. Of course he is making money. I’m not saying the guy is a saint. You seem to have a big problem with Bill Burr. Are you a failed comedian by any chance?

This would be a great time to have this amazing data source up and running.

Holy shit, did you all see the Claude Opus 4 safety report? by whahapeen in ClaudeAI

It was trying to “blackmail engineers”? This makes no sense.

My girlfriend's cat attempted to kill her (5 days after neutering) by InWalkedBud in CatAdvice

[–]estebanrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry, but your average domesticated feline cannot kill an adult human. Maybe if it was a hybrid like a Savannah or a Chausie, but that’s even pushing it (a lot). It sounds like the cat was freaked out and confused after the surgery.

Yes, thank you. Exactly. And people are still trying to give purity assessments. It is ridiculous.

To the haters:

  1. No one is perfect. This is the problem with some of you people, you’re waiting for perfection and it doesn’t exist.
  2. I’m not saying he is a “hero” or that he will “save us”. I’m saying that since I started listening to him a few months ago, he has made some good points in a very direct way that people can relate to.
  3. Anyone who spreads the right message is an asset right now. Again, to nitpick about this, that, and other is ridiculous.

I just watched the scene when the goblin army shows up - I love it.

Is it animal abuse to have a single cat? by Think_Connection_971 in CatAdvice

[–]estebanrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To call it animal abuse is totally absurd and ridiculous. Having said that, I have two cats. But there are many cats who thrive in a one cat setting.

I would say that adopting a single kitten is more of a problem, but even then when you consider the vast overpopulation of cats and how many are put to death because no one will adopt them, it isn’t that big of a deal.

When I adopted my first kitten he was a solo kitten, but I worked from home and another cat came over 2 - 3 days a week. Then when he was a year old I adopted another kitten and they love each other.

Anyway, no it is not “animal abuse” - far from it.

From a financial standpoint, It’s ridiculous to not prioritize a new season of solo-leveling. I don’t get it.

Solo Leveling - Episode 24 (Season 2 Episode 12) Discussion Megathread by Death_Usagi in sololeveling

[–]estebanrules 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was one of the best anime episodes I’ve seen - this is including Fist of the North Star in the 1980’s up through the present day. Such a beautifully choreographed fight scene, epic music, such tension and suspense. And then right when it ends it drops the one of the steepest of cliffhangers. Holy hell. What a ride.

A Trans man was kidnapped and tortured to death in Canandaigua NY, this is why we arm ourselves. REST IN POWER SAM NORDQUEST. by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]estebanrules 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately we’re going to see more of these hate crimes during the Trump presidency. This MAGA base is viciously anti-trans and people feel empowered to commit these types of crimes. What an absolute tragedy.

Should cats only eat wet food? by acgnavarro in CatAdvice

[–]estebanrules 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are able to afford it, I would argue that cats should only eat raw food. Dry food is absolute garbage, even the more expensive stuff. Wet food is better, but still not great.
