The serious answer to that question is, Because cats have a smaller genetic variety than dogs and haven't been selectively bred to produce cats for different purposes, at least not for as long as dogs.

Khazar-khum posted:On another site, someone asked "Why don't we have cats as big as Great Danes?" Maybe not as big as Great Danes, but I don't think you've seen a Maine Coon. Half of the pictures on Google Images are people holding particularly large ones, i.e. about as big as a medium-sized dog. Also they're majestic as gently caress, friendly, and make great pets.  Only downside is that they shed like nuts. Otherwise they're basically cuter dogs.  E: My sister's Maine Coons weren't particular majestic, but...

Khazar-khum posted:On another site, someone asked "Why don't we have cats as big as Great Danes?" To paraphrase from a half-remembered 20 year old stand up comedy bit, you know how you'll have a loving and affectionate housecat, that you cuddle and pet and love? And how it acts when it's tired of your cuddling and petting and loving? By swiping at your face with full hellfury? Where you get a small scratch but rarely any worse damage? Do you really want to add the strength and speed necessary to have that action take off your whole head?

Do you really want to add the strength and speed necessary to have that action take off your whole head? Every time you see a video of a lion or a tiger or something acting like a cute little housecat, always remember this. If that lion gets tired of your poo poo, it can rip you apart. I knew a cat that would give me affectionate bites all the time, so even when they're not tired of your poo poo they'd be dangerous.

I remember having that issue as a kid, I think Deathlok was also on the cover? Google hasn't helped, but I'm now remembering how stupid comics got in the '90's, even to a ten year old. Did they really turn Spidey into a cyborg Image character?

It's got to be satire, it just hits too many Liefeld checkboxes to be real. No character would have one of those chrome maggot arms and a cybersamurai shoulder plate.

I was in an Astronomy class at a community college. The instructor was talking about the Coriolis effect and how it's a myth that water spins the opposite way in the drain in the southern hemisphere. This really annoying girl who never shut up in class pipes up with "Nuh uh! I went to Costa Rica and I saw it happen!" The instructor just kind of ignored her and moved on. This happened like 8 years ago and I still think about it sometimes and wish I had told her Costa Rica is not in the southern hemisphere.

It's definitely a real cover. Spidey got into a scuffle with... Cyborg X, who broke his arm, roughed up his costume, and gave him some superficial wounds. Some scientists gave Peter the arm as a high-tech bandage to make it heal faster, and gave him normal bandages for the rest of his wounds and a monocle to cover his eye (I can't remember why). Spidey hunted down Cyborg X with the help of Dethlok, and at the end of the issue his cyber-arm was destroyed because continuity. It's all very 90s. E: Cyborg X looks like this:

"People in third world countries only suffer and starve because they did something wrong in a past life" "Men nowadays get more testicular and prostate cancer because they're not as manly" "Do you think sometimes people only get sick because they go to the doctor and are told they're sick?" All of these from a supervisor at work, who went on to win an award for inspirational women in mining.

I had a roommate who was convinced that he was the best and most knowledgeable at everything. He also had some very real and serious food allergies, then some that he just assumed he had, which culminated in the following exchange when I bought some cheeses to make macaroni for Thanksgiving one year. You can't have cheese in the fridge, I'm allergic. But I thought you didn't have a dairy allergy. I have a mold allergy. If you leave it in the fridge I'll have an asthma attack. But I just bought the cheese today. It's sealed and everything, and I'll use it all before tomorrow. Cheese is a form of mold. What? No it's not. Some are made with mold, but... Cheese is a form of mold. No, it's... CHEESE. Is a FORM. Of MOLD.He also had weird racial things going on. I won't eat at Chinese places. I have a seafood allergy, and they won't clean the pans well enough to not make me break out even though they say they do. But you eat at that Mexican place down the street, and they've got tons of seafood stuff that gets cooked in the pans. But I trust them to clean the pans. You can't trust Asians. You...you know I'm Korean, right? Pff, I said AsiansHe was a weird dude. He also had this thing about Fight Club being the pinnacle of philosophical thought, but mostly used the "don't let your possessions own you" idea to mock me for having furniture. Because being able to fit all of your things in a 5x8x3 closet was virtuous, you see.

During an avalanche safety course, cornices were brought up as a major hazard. Someone in the class puts their hand up, and asks "How do you assess cornices and when do you know it's safe to walk on?" The whole rest of the class and the instructor said in unison "YOU DON'T". Because seriously, this: is a very, very bad idea.

Tiberius Thyben posted:That reminds me! I run in some fairly left wing circles. Unfortunately, some people think "Capitalism is a complete shitstorm, and the West is the current center of capitalism, therefore everything that isn't "The West" or "Capitalist" is good/better." This has resulted in people accepting RT articles about the most crazy poo poo at face value and slobbering all over Putin's knob, because Russia is 'Not the West'. However, the most memorable debate I had in person was with a Maoist about North Korea, which I happen to know a fair bit about. Among other things, he went on about how it offers an alternative to capitalism, and "At least keeps the west out," and that "We can't say anything for sure because all the channels we get information through are all propaganda." I overheard one of my roommates talking about how putin was so great because he got rid of all the gambling and corruption in russia

I turned off my son's Xbox to regain his childhoodquote:If I had known what I was getting myself and my son into when I bought him an Xbox and the Minecraft game for his eighth birthday, I would have put it right back on the shelf. quote:The scary thing is, these behaviours bring to mind a vast number of kids I know today. If you don't believe me, just pull the plug in the middle of one of their games and watch their reaction. quote:For me, the decision to unplug was made a short time ago when I was reading the memoirs of Jessie Lee Brown Foveaux, who was born in America at the turn of last century. It was a simple tale, overflowing with stories of a simple and amazing childhood. My favourite excerpt begins: "We built playhouses under the trees. We made mud pies and cakes, I would dream on of all the nice things I would do when I got big".
