Now I absolutely love my dogs, but my cats have personalities too. I have the lovable rear end in a top hat, the shy rear end in a top hat, and the rear end in a top hat that enjoys knocking stuff off of the shelves while staring at me intently.

The little rear end in a top hat I keep around my place has taken to getting voost once I go to bed. First she fucks around with the shower curtain (she's already destroyed one), until I eject her from the bathroom and close the door.

Then she runs full speed through the apartment, jumping up on my bed, playing there for a second, before leaping off and running back, before starting all over again.

Yeah she's cute and good and I love her, but she is firmly a pet, as opposed to a dog which more of a companion.

Dogs are awesome and are wonderful creatures.

The only problem is there are a lot of lovely owners out there. Take that gif for example, that dog is blatantly showing signs its not happy yet this doesn't stop that jackass from continuing to stick the thing that causing the dog to be anxious in its face because "hah he looks so cute doing that." Meanwhile the poor dog is having a mini panic attack.

Edit for a Doggo gif!

I thought the whole point of cats was to keep them pretty much the same assholes they are in the wild so they continue being sociopathic vermin hunters who now occasionally tolerate scritches?

Cute dog, but you're wrong. Corgies are too small and boxers have drooling problems.

Well I'm biased as I have both, I am fortunate that my boxer/pit does not have a drooling problem what-so-ever. I'm guessing it's because she doesn't have the squished in snout.

Well I'm automatically jealous that you have dogs in general. I can't have them at my apartment and I'm away at work too much for it to be fair to them even if I got one. Scratch them both behind the ears for me.

I put it like this. A cat will sit on old grandad's face while he's snoozing on his Lazboy and smother him to death and eat strips of his thigh meat because he's hungry. Then when you come over to visit, that cat looks at you like, "What the gently caress are you staring at? I didn't do poo poo. Here have a close up look at my rear end in a top hat."

I immediately know upon returning home if my dog, Bucky, did anything even the slightest bit wrong because he's wracked with guilt in a dark corner asking himself why he couldn't help but eat the pizza crust out of the open Domino's box that his master left precariously perched on an end table. He won't look me in the eye. On a normal day he gets so excited to see me that he runs in huge circles around the house, gathering up all the toys and socks he can into a big pile so he can decide which one to bring me.

I love cats too but drat dogs are great.

I fell into the YouTube rabbit hole during lunch today. The topic today was all of those lovely "Life Hack" videos.

In the middle of all of the mind-numbingly stupid poo poo was this gem:



Really? That's a hack? Isn't that actually what you are supposed to do with those box cutters?

What's next? "If you're in a room and want to leave, turn the doorknob, open the door, and walk out!" **LifeHack**

"Thirsty and want some water? Turn the faucet handle and catch the water that comes out in a glass!" **LifeHack**

I don't think most people use boxcutters enough to even dull their blades. I mean, I use scissors to open my boxes.

Just today a took a knife and broke the blade against a table because I didn't have pliers handy.

Looking now at the knife, sure enough, it does have a slot.

I just showed it to two co-workers. Both use the "against table" method.

e: 4 co-workers didn't know this. And I work in a manufacturing shop, where we have these knives everywhere because we use them so often, and all of us work with tools all the time so we're fairly "technical" people. They all just break them against a table. This is amazing.
