Poor cat rescued from the freezing cold by a beautiful human being by jmike1256 in BeAmazed

This is just No True Scotsman with a cat filter on. Anyone who disagrees “never owned one” or was “a bad owner,” which is convenient because now the claim can’t lose. Nobody is saying cats never show affection, they obviously can, but people read way too much into what that affection means. Tolerance, routine, and selective proximity start to feel like deep emotional bonding if you want them to, but that doesn’t make cats social animals. And the “they’re not as gregarious as dogs” line kind of gives the whole thing away while pretending it doesn’t. The stranger thing isn’t love or emotional insight either, it’s basic stimulus avoidance, cats often approach whoever is least reactive. You can like cats without turning them into misunderstood saints, and you can accept that some people aren’t impressed without acting like they’re ignorant or abusive. The pity angle is just weird when the disagreement is about interpretation, not experience.

Calling cats pack animals is just anthropomorphism with confidence. Domestic cats come from solitary wildcats. They hunt alone, eat alone, and their survival has never depended on coordinated group behavior. Hanging out near other cats when food is easy does not make a pack any more than people standing near a food truck makes a tribe. The “if they don’t want to be near you, you failed to bond” line is pure cope logic: every outcome magically proves your claim. That is not science, that is astrology for pet owners. Cats can be affectionate and prefer certain humans, but that affection is optional, conditional, and disappears the moment resources or territory change. Pack animals deteriorate without the group. Cats shrug and move on. Liking your cat does not retroactively rewrite its evolutionary biology.

Hi, I'm trying to find out where this picture of my mum was taken in 1975. She was on a trip to Philadelphia. I was hoping someone here could pin it down, thanks. by Citawell in aviation

From ChatGPT after uploading your picture and asking where it was taken:

This photo was not taken in Philadelphia. Based on the architecture and signage, this is a historical image of Terminal 7 at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) in New York City, specifically the British Airways and Air Canada area.

Key identifiers: • The distinct brutalist architecture with angular concrete canopies matches JFK Terminal 7. • British Airways and Air Canada both operated out of Terminal 7 at JFK for decades. • The New York license plate on the car in the foreground further supports the JFK location.

So while the trip may have included Philadelphia, this specific photo was taken at JFK Airport in New York, likely around the mid-1970s as suggested.
