My city is constructing their 7th elementary school and just changed the name from "Yorba Elementary School", named after the family that owned 1/2 the city when it was all farmland dating back since the late 1800s, to "Ronald Reagan Elementary" because reasons.

They really should have gone with Nixon Elementary. Could have tied it in with the 40th anniversary and everything.

The major difference is size. When your cat gets pissed at you and tries to bite, you spray it with a water bottle.

Our cat starts meowing and rolling around on the ground like she wants her belly rubbed and then you do it for a minute and she bites at you??

Maybe your cat only likes to have its belly rubbed for brief periods of time? It is not recommended that you try to rub the belly of a big cat, no matter how  it would be if you could

I find the self-involved rear end in a top hat nature of cats more endearing than the dumb bootlicking goofiness of dogs. My friend has a border collie who is rad as hell and very smart, but I think he's autistic.

Cats like only a certain amount of belly rub. I'm sure there's a formula based on the lunar cycle.

SedanChair posted:I think you could do that with a lion. However, he may pop your head like a grape if he takes exception. Exactly my point. Since you're so much bigger than your cat, he is forced to simply try to do it with his mental powers. This is largely pure internet theory based on watching lots of videos, but every time I see a great cat video, I am struck by the vast similarity of behavior between the great and small cats. (And yes, I'm including the 'if I fits, I sits' pictures.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J11uu8L8FTY) Lions, when treated well, appear to have a very good record of being loving, incredibly huggy cats. (You've seen the video of the lion hugging the guy with his full body, while scent-marking his face with the lion's cheeks?) (not this one, but I like this one.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8yqoyaSPOI There are, in fact, multiple notable incidents of 'pet lions'. It's just that if things go wrong, they go _really wrong_. And given the behavior of your typical cat, I'm willing to say that it'd go 'really wrong' more than enough times to maim a person.

My parent's dog is a little over 10 and he's getting a bit gimpy in the back legs. He still loves to chase basically anything you throw, but it's clear it's starting to hurt a bit.

We had some friends bring a puppy over to our house last night and our dogs started teaching it how to play, it was ridiculously cute. Like, our dog would pat it on the nose, then it would reach up and awkwardly pat our dog on the nose . . . so adorable

Best Presidentially named campus building is the LBJ Library because it's an actual working library and endowment and not a shrine.

Man, I hate not being able to find the video I'm thinking of. There's a guy walking up to a cage, and then he opens the door, and the lion leaps out (lioness, I think) and does this claw-claw-rake thing, except it's all hugging and marking the guy. Here's more hugging lions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdhovtVB1Bg

Having spent a week working in it back in June, I have to admit that the Nixon Library and archive is very well organized and staffed by helpful, professional people who want to help with any project, regardless of what attitude you take towards that library's namesake. I know since mine contains a hefty amount of "he was a criminal shithead who did damage to America that persists to this day," albeit in somewhat more polite language.

Where I grew up the best high school in the district was named Ronald Reagan High School. It was of course in the rich, white part of town. They definitely built it before he was dead, I wanna say late 90s? Someone ought to do a study to see if there's a correlation between the affluency of a school's neighborhoods and the conservativeness of their namesake.
