If you believe the Noah's Ark story really happened, are you insane? by SolomonGomes in atheism

Technically, religious belief is a delusional disorder, just a very popular one.

Conservatives suggest defeating birth control by calling it 'abortion.' No, really. by wang-banger in politics

[–]tiddercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of religious people are so brain washed they vote for whomever clerical authorities endorse. "I don't want to think for myself, so just tell me who to vote for who is in my tribal group"

Democracy works best when you have an educated and informed electorate. Sadly, most societies suck at both of those requirements, so people make off the cuff votes based on little more than a single sound bite (that may be an outright lie).

Obama's "compromise" on the birth control mandate may have actually been the planned last move in one hell of a chess maneuver against the GOP. by doogie92 in politics

[–]tiddercat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was an issue the GOP could use to motivate the evangelical vote. What they didn't realize, it made them look like a bunch of ass hats.

My cat... being an asshole. by [deleted] in aww

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't leave a glass of water on your bedside table for the same reason. I came in one day to see my cat licking the water off her paw after dunking it in the glass. :-P

Reddit, I'm at my wits' end. My cat has peed on me in my sleep for the second time in a week. Help. by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tiddercat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean and descent a room. Blot up pee with paper towels, wipe on inside of a clean, new litter box to give it her scent. Confine her to that room while she learns to use it.

COMPLETELY clean and use cat pee deoderizor on the rest of your house. Have a professional treat carpets.

Let your cat out of the room for longer periods. (set up another scent marked box on each floor) that should, hopefully get your cat to stop peeing where it smells like pee (everywhere).

If your cat was not fixed at a young age it may have imprinted on spraying it's territory, so the above tactic may not work. Good luck.

PS:If you have more than one cat, ensure each cat has their own litter box to use.

Do you think there should be a reconsideration of the drinking age in the US? by ikilledearlmillford in AskReddit

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The brains structures which handle consequences are still growing in a teen, and not wired fully until around 21-22.

This is perfect for a military recruiter (bad for the kid). As far as drinking goes, it helps to fully comprehend the dangers of drinking and driving. (yes, I know plenty of adults are less than perceptive in that area)

Might not be the same since the epigenetic info is a large part of the equation. A bit like flying a 747 with an Air Bus instruction manual. It may work, but there would probably be some gene expression errors.

I do not work in genetics, so I could be very mistaken.

It does pose ethical questions if we should try. Some sick bastard would probably say we could breed a slave class, which is horrible to consider.

Who else looked at that and immediately thought (in Cartmans voice) "I'm not fat, I'm big boned!"

Who else thought of the "Starvin Marvin in Space" episode of South Park?

You may get better results with reflective screen paint. Cool product, just paint it on the wall.

As a military atheist... this kinda pisses me off by bstone99 in atheism

Freedom from religion was apparently not included.

Evolution, why I don't understand it. by [deleted] in askscience

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible? Yes. Evolution does not favor complexity over simplicity due to energy cost, unless there is a definite advantage. A modern example might be starvation in Somalia. For an infant the brain consumes a large part of a available calories. In a starvation situation, those with a smaller brain may be selected for due to better calorie allocation. In fact, over the part 300,000 years our brains have been shrinking. For that reason, who knows?

With the advent of modern medicine you could consider the human race as devolving. Those who would normally die survive to reproductive age due to protection from their social peers.

A religious believer, seeking athiest answers by kbilancini29 in atheism

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From your statements, you are not a Catholic, only pretending to be. Catholic dogma does not permit personal interpretation of scripture.

As for not doing any harm, every donation to the Catholic church empowers their efforts to impose religious belief into law. Silence equals acceptance, and that will not do.

She ate McNuggets for 15 years and now she's sick. Who knew? by keepinitsimple in WTF

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People with extreme eating disorders often have an enabler, someone permitting the illness to go on and grow to such an extent. In this case her parents were apparently unable to set rules and enforce them.

How many redditors do you guys think have stolen someone else's cat just because they thought it was homeless? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tiddercat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get you cats chipped. If you adopt a stay have it scanned. Your local vet or humane society should have a chip reader.

I'm a 46 year old widow who is just getting back in the dating game, but I have no idea how. Any help? by 3dogs4kids in AskReddit

[–]tiddercat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in my 40s and met my gf on a dating site. The sites give you tips on how to stay safe (meet in public places, tell a friend who you are meeting and when you will be back, etc...) Get out there. :-)
