I've been unemployed the last six months so I've been on that hellhole daily, looking for openings. You're right, it's definitely more political now than in January.

The Onion is half the reason I'm still sane.

These people didn't support Trump out of a selfless desire, out of altruism, out of a sense of love and patriotism for their country. They did it to benefit themselves.

She just described the entire Trump administration. No thoughts, empty head.

Also, when the talks, her mouth moves and her eyes blink but the rest of her face does not move and it's freaking me out.

Not trying to be that guy, but it's urea, which breaks down to ammonia due to microbial action once it's out of the cat. If a cat is pissing ammonia, it has big problems and needs to see a vet.

Other contributors to awful cat piss smell are mercaptans, the same compounds responsible for the scent of skunk spray, and pheromones and fatty acids released when the cat is spraying versus normal urination. It's all compounded by cats being adapted for arid environments so their urine is much more concentrated than human urine.

I love cats but they're gross little fuckers sometimes.

Wow, you're completely right and I never recognized this before. I'm your quintessential cat person. I've lived with cats since the day I was born. They cuddled with me in my crib. My first word was cat. We joked that I was raised by cats. I'm just used to cats and don't often think about their behavior.

My partner is a dog person, so now we have a mixed family. When the dogs cross a boundary, we do something to correct their behavior and there is the expectation their behavior will change. If it doesn't, we adjust our response until it does. When cats cross a boundary, we still do something to correct the behavior, but entirely expect the cat will continue doing it and respond no differently when they continue with the original behavior.

It might even make smarter decisions. The last few companies I worked for had total morons for CEOs, but they sure maximized short-term profit (by burning the company down).

They can meow and purr, though!

Only so they can familiarize their fanbase with new talking heads to later be installed in government.

See, it'll be perfect. First we clear cut the forests. We sell the rights to strip mine what we can, drill for oil and gas, then frack out what we can't drill. Then we hire lowest bidder construction to build low quality, rental-only subdivisions and repurpose the frack wells to drinking water wells! When it's found the water is contaminated, we charge a purification surcharge. It's all one big, beautiful cycle to maximize wealth extraction!

Oh yeah, my friends group and I were hitting "that's what (s)he said" pretty hard in the nineties.

Many miss that Musk's companies don't have any measure of success because of him, but instead have it despite him. A lot of intelligent people work for SpaceX and Tesla. Imagine what they could and would do if they didn't have a petulant man-baby constantly interfering.
