That dog hurt her because he was desperately trying to wake her up when she fell unconscious on some pills. The dog didn't attempt to eat her, biter her or do anything consistent with canine attack behavior as she was vulnerable. Unfortunately anybody with a dog can tell that when they get worked up over something, they can be dangerous without being malevolent.

At least the characters in on Seinfeld knew they were assholes.

Speaking of Frasier, watching the series now shows how much of an utter and unfunny rear end Bulldog was. Sexually harassing Roz was played for laughs.

yeah having a dude be an extreme creep to a girl he likes was a common gimmick you'll just have to accept every now and then if you want to binge on an older program, like I can see how distorting enthusiasm into vulgar caricature can work for comedy but usually it'd go all the way to outright harassment and it stops being funny, at least when everyone else acts like it's normal behavior and/or ignores it

I refuse to believe anyone actually believes this. The only comparable show with a more annoying lead character is The Nanny, and not just the voices, they just aren't funny.

I've tried to watch Friends and I just don't get it. Seinfeld you can at least relate to the people/situations, but with friends I just didn't feel a connection with any of the characters.

I feel much more sympathy for people who lost a dog than a cat. At least a dog acts like it likes you all the time, unlike a cat where it just tolerates your presence as long as you let it outside to decimate the local bird population and let it poo poo and piss inside your home.

lmfao at the bolded. We dedicate a minimum of one whole room to making GBS threads and pissing in, and are often the most extravagant rooms in a home. Don't act like it's somehow gross that cats go in litter boxes. "But that's different, we poo poo and piss in water!" you might say. I guarantee within the last 24 hours you've taken a poo poo that smells just as bad as a cat's piss or poo poo. Also lol at thinking cats are soulless robots that can't display love or affection.

I cat-sat a cat last week-end and it always went outside to poo and pee and also wanted to be petted all the time but when I got tired of petting it it just curled up next to me and purred a lot I don't know maybe it was just a good cat.

Not all cats

e: It didn't even try to eat my chocolate bar like the last cat I sat.

Has anybody been forced to watch the new Netflix Inspector Gadget by their kids or just watched it out of curiosity? I assume it's total crap without Don Adams.

IG was just a loosely-based cartoon Get Smart, which is why it was awesome.

I watched both Inspector Gadget and Get Smart re-runs as a kid and I never realized (or noticed in the credits) that it was actually Don Adams doing the voice. I just thought it was an imitator.

I don't know how much Don Adams has to do with it but the new show is a lot goofier than I remember the old one being. Claw is more of a Dr. Evil type than legitimately menacing, Gadget is even stupider and more oblivious than before, Penny has a nemesis/crush relationship with Dr. Claw's nephew Tallon and Brain is pretty much the same.

I hate having dogs bc at some point you're going to have to leave the house or ignore them or something and they're distressed by it and don't understand. Affectionate cats can still be chill by themselves, and snakes/lizards/fish are the best bc they look cool, eat and poo poo less, and don't give a poo poo about you. They're a hobby, not a baby, and that's cool and good.

It's still pretty inconsiderate because when (not if) your cat darts out in front of my car I'll have to deal with your weepy rear end demanding me to buy you a new cat and trying to get the cops to arrest me. It just seems conflicting sometimes - people keep saying how much they love their cat and will be destroyed if it dies, but at the same time will let it loose in high traffic areas or in places where predators like coyotes are active. Where I grew up you probably saw coyotes every couple days or so, yet people still let their cats out and act like they couldn't have seen it coming when the cat goes missing.

Anyway, non-pet opinion: I don't like "al dente" pasta. I like it cooked a little more than that. I know it's technically wrong and basically any chef would disagree with me, but I just don't like almost-crunchy pasta. Also I can barely tell the difference between fresh pasta and premade/frozen so I don't really care what the restaurant uses, but this one may be because I've destroyed my palate with alcohol.

People here stop for school buses when going the opposite direction on a four lane road. I'm almost positive you don't actually have to since there's a median, but people do it anyway. It's stupid.

If your kid is stupid enough to try and cross a four lane road, that's on you, not other drivers.

Also I think school bus drivers are routinely the worst drivers on the road. I've been cut off and almost hit by more school buses than any other kind of vehicle.

I will stop for a bus even if there is a median and logic would dictate that there's no good reason for you to stop just because there will always be a cop lurking the one time you decide to test it. There's no chance of a warning in those situations, they will unleash all their righteous indignation upon you and imply you are a kid killer and then you have to go to traffic school and pay a ridiculous fine.

I also think the 15 mph limit in school zones is extremely overly slow. You have crossing guards and lights, you should just let people drive normally and only let kids cross once you've verified everyone has stopped. That's another stupid situation though where you just go 10 mph and don't even get close to 15 because if you get clocked at 15.1 you are going to get pulled over and chewed out.

Ventriloquism is obnoxious. I would say that this isn't an unpopular opinion but it's disturbing how famous Jeff Dunham is. A FB friend of mine went to one of his shows recently. I just thought to myself, "WHY?!"

And some ventriloquists (maybe all of them, I don't know) are just downright creepy about their dummies. Edgar Bergen had an entire bedroom for Charlie McCarthy and, according to his daughter Candice Bergen, the dummy had a bigger wardrobe than she did.

It would be wrong not to bring up 1978's Magic with Anthony Hopkins as Corky, and his dummy Fats.
