Metalheads are generally just nice people cosplaying as mean people. No nice person dislikes a kitty.

I’d say Cartman represents our basest and darkest thoughts, fantasies and desires.

The thoughts we have but most of us do not act upon. They’re harmless as long as we don’t act upon them. Except Cartman does.

We gave our elderly cat ‘cat milk’ from the pet food isle as a treat and she loved it. I suppose it’s lactose free or something and it was a great way to get her to take her meds.

Hu-mon Fe-males!

First, don’t refer to girls and women as females when using English. While accurate, it is currently a word tainted in that context by its use among incels and assholes, so it makes it seem like you’re one of those.

Unless you’re Ferengi of course. That’s just their culture.

Great podcasts! Has a fair amount of blood, gore and torture though. No criticism but I thought it’d be fair for OP to get a heads up on that.

History is bloody business

What does the vet say?

Seriously, take her to a trained vet if you haven’t already.

Get a bag of those as well if you think that helps! Make your life easier.

Buy multiple chargers and charging cables for my devices. One on my nightstand, one on my desk, one in the living room and one in my work bag.

If it’s relatively cheap, buy multiples and spread them around so you’ll never have to look for it.

Apparently a 6% increase in crime in 2022 it seems. I suppose violent crime would have increased as well.

As for knives and explosives, that’s bad enough for me an I’m quite content to not add more firearms to that mix as.

Haven’t heard about that but I think ships sailing under a Dutch flag would be treated as Dutch territory for law purposes. Harder to enforce when you’re on the high seas though. And I’m not sure percentage-wise there’s a disproportiona number of Dutch people that own seafaring ships. Most merchant ships would be owned by companies anyway and they’d probably frown upon that stuff.

Dutch merchant ships sailing through pirate infested waters might have armed guards (navy troops, mercenaries) I guess?

I think they may be telling you tall tales.

Dutch here. Gun laws are strict. Generally, only the police and military carry guns in public. To legally own a firearm without being in either the police or the military you need to be a member of a firing range/club type of deal iirc. And even then only senior members get to take their guns home with them.

There is gun related violence but it’s less of a problem because there’s few guns and they’re harder to come by. It does seem like gun violence might be increasing but I’m unsure if that is due to a few high profile cases and extra media attention or that it’s actually getting worse.

I like it this way. I personally have never felt the need to arm myself and I’m glad it’s mostly professionals that get to carry weapons. It’s not a perfect system and weapons do end up in the hands of the wrong people but it’s the exception more than the rule really.

This exactly. Bold of OP to assume that English is everyone’s first language.

Not OP but: you have to eat but most of the best foods make you fat or are bad for you in some other way.

Still, in a perfect world pooping wouldn’t require any cleanup.

Pooping: one the one hand it feels pretty great. The sensation itself is nice as well as the relief. On the other hand, now you’ve got poop on your butthole that’s got to go.

Because humans built them.

Or some weird explanation about aliens building the pyramids or the Nazca Lines or something? Come on OP! Give us some clarification!

Obviously.

Safe to say he’s a total piece of shit.

Oh yeah absolutely. It’s wild how much of this shit comes back to old-fashioned antisemitism when you know where to look.
