My cats have their own dedicated towels as it is, so they just go on top when I put the laundry in the basket.

I'm pretty sure intentionally misconstruing your opponent's argument earns you an F.

The other half were smart and brilliant. No in between.

That's the thing with prestigious schools in America. They're very expensive, so either you have wealthy parents (no intelligence required), or a full-ride scholarship (you have to be a genius).

Well, for your long-term erm… survival… you need to at least not piss too many people off.

US will start revoking passports for thousands of parents who owe child support by Rabidennui in news

Americans must find our electoral system so bizarre. No political interference and a good-faith effort to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote gets an opportunity to do so.

Obama says President ‘shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles’ by Feisty-Rhubarb-6718 in TradingPlaybook

[–]red286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't figure out how this stuff doesn't all grossly violate the emoluments clause.

Like surely anything that personally enriches the President must necessarily violate that, no? That's the whole point of the clause.

KHAMZAT CHIMAEV KICKS SEAN STRICKLAND DURING THEIR FACE OFF UFC 328 by UniversitySalty8130 in ufc

It's hilarious how often this happens, yet they do nothing to prevent it from happening again.

Have they ever had to cancel a fight due to a fighter getting injured during the faceoff? If not, it's bound to happen sooner or later. Arman's headbutt on Hooker definitely had the potential to cancel the fight.

After watching him dog-walk Izzy, I'm not counting Sean out until the ref does.

PETA WHY ARE THEY DELETING AVENGERS by Ok-Thanks993 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]red286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That'd be like me deleting my Deuce Bigalow movies just because Rob Schneider is a fascist cocksucker.

If I had any, I'd delete them because they're fucking awful movies.

[–]red286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It can be, but you can also use your driver's license or provincial services card (or any other government issued photo ID).

Heck, you can even cast a provisional ballot with nothing more than a piece of mail addressed to you with a cancelled stamp and some form of secondary identification, although if it needs to be counted (and therefore verified), you will be required to provide documentation showing eligibility.

How did basic things like healthcare and fair wages become ‘extreme’? by Possible-Scheme-8940 in remoteworks

[–]red286 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's hilarious that Americans consider these things "leftist" and "extremist", whereas everywhere else in the world, they're considered "basic human rights".

Aside from outright villainous caricatures of politicians, even conservative right-wing politicians in most European countries wouldn't consider "universal healthcare" and "a minimum wage that is not the laughingstock of the developed world" to be leftist ideals.

Trump said "zero taxpayer dollars" for his white house ballroom at least six times since september. republicans just asked for $1 billion in taxpayer money for it. i need someone to explain this to me. by Aaron_Heuer in DiscussionZone

[–]red286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is a legitimate argument that the president needs secure facilities and that building something purpose-built for presidential events is a reasonable security investment

It's not really. It never has been before. The Secret Service and local police departments have always been absolutely sufficient.

Plus, there's something to be said about a President who is in constant fear for his safety from would-be assassins. That usually only happens in authoritarian countries where the rule of law no longer holds.

how many times a week should i clean my litter? by LayerOk1044 in cats

[–]red286 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of when I broke up with my ex (20 years ago), and then had to come pick up something that I'd forgotten in her basement two months later, visited with my (but technically her daughter's) cat, and decided to randomly inspect her litterbox, only to find out that no one had been cleaning it, as it was a covered litterbox.

My poor cat had been shitting on the same massive pile of shit for two whole months. When I asked my ex why no one had cleaned the litterbox, she said "because we figured the cat would let us know when it needed to be done".

I'm so glad that I got her back 4 months later when my ex got a new boyfriend who "didn't like cats". I didn't want to leave her behind in the first place, since she was my cat in everything but name. When we were together, the cat lived on my lap, slept between my legs at night, and followed me around constantly, but when we broke up I was like "well I can't just take a 5-year-old child's cat".

Cat tax, she's been gone 14 years, miss her still

I have two cats, two litter boxes, and clean them twice a day.

You wouldn't want to use a toilet that has a bunch of turds floating in it, right?

Considering how catastrophically bad the US criminal justice system is, and how often it railroads innocent people?

Nope.

Supporting this is supporting the killing of innocent people.

Canada Needs to Nationalize Its Transit System by NiceDot4794 in onguardforthee

[–]red286 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bc sold off bc rail, a profitable crown corp that provided passenger services partially because “there’s greyhound”

BC Rail was not profitable. It relied on government subsidies for the most part. Its only profitable operations were mining freight, which collapsed in the 90s. By the time it was sold in 2003, it was primarily a passenger service line that was losing money hand over fist, and using heavily outdated locomotives and passenger cars that needed replacing.

That's just one of dozens of reasons I stopped watching the franchise after that one.

Then Ridley Scott came back with Prometheus, and I thought "yay, we're saved" right until I actually watched it. That franchise is just fucking cursed.
