What a discussion. Dog owners feeling insecure about their preference pathetically trying to put majestic cats down.

If you have a cat and your house smells bad you're just a lazy slob. Regular litter cleanup does wonders to prevent the crazy cat lady smell.

Outdoor cats are totally hosed. Seems completely insane to me that you would have a cat and put the responsibility of feeding and caring for it on your neighbours/wildlife.

I have an inside cat because he has cat AIDS. He rules.

Outside cats are great if you are cool with the idea of waking up to find it flattened on the side of the street or never see it again if someone decides it is cute enough to steal. Can't say i blame you if you do feel this way tbh.

I'm sure anything you could conceive of the Hollywood elite doing, has probably happened in some similar form in real life.

And it's kind of cheating given Bojack Horseman is pretty openly based on various Hollywood celebrity depravities and tragedies; Sarah-Lynn is a mix of Linsey Lohan, Amy Winehouse, Britney Spears and a number of other pop idol celebrities and actresses with a likely history of abuse and drug problems leading to an early death. They even pretty early on have a Weinstein-style rapist in an unassailable position of power whose predations are an open secret but too many careers depend on him to actually suffer any consequences. It's not a conspiracy theory, it's bare-faced satire. Wouldn't be surprised if a few stories that aren't public knowledge are written into it, but plenty of it is just how a lack of consequences for his behaviour on top of being perpetually drunk and high leads Bojack to have almost no control over his worst impulses and do horrible things as a result.

My mother-in-law has an "outside cat" that has a crate indoors (connected to a cat door so he can go outside) and he pretty much spends all his time in the crate because he's like 17 years old

When they decided to make him an outdoor cat the vet warned her he'd be dead in like six months but that was like four years ago

Anyone with an outdoor cat deserves to have that cat run over by a car. My neighborhood is crazy cat lady HQ and every plant in my flower bed has been pissed-on to death and my car is covered in scratches from cats climbing all over it.

I am not the confessor that was hunting stray cats and making coats from their skins, but I could be someday.

It's a cat, anything you see as "depression" is just you anthropomorphising them and them acting in a way that gets them attention/food/treats.

My dog acts disappointed and sad when you don't let her eat actual poo poo or food/chemicals that will actually kill her or let her off the leash to go chase a squirrel, but that doesn't make me some monster not letting my dog live a "happy" life of getting run over or choking on its own vomit after chowing down on a box of laundry detergent.

I wouldn't call any cat I've ever seen on the street "joyous", they seem way more focused on getting away from me as fast as possible. I'm not convinced cats feel any emotions outside of a generalized hatred for life itself

Whenever the subject of interpersonal relationships come up in a thread, I describe myself as single with very little contact with family or friends. The reason for this is that I'm paranoid as hell about my personal information leaking online and I want to protect my identity and those of my wife, kids, friends and family.

Also, I hope the stylometry/mastermind/xlsx goons get help or, failing that, fall off a very high cliff.

Dark personality goon: it's possible that you actually aren't antisocial in the sense of having a disorder but might have some narcissistic or sociopathic traits. If it does concern you do speak to a professional.

It doesn't concern me. Well, the only thing that concerns me is that I will somehow slip up and be given a harmful label. I saw some BPDtard whinging about stigma against people with BPD in another GBS thread recently... at least *I* deliver value to society instead of just REEEEEing out and cutting myself + occasionally giving a literally-crazy-good bj to some goon.

Anyways, I digress. I'm not super worried. I might slip up and lose my temper eventually, but I'm already at a point that I could just gently caress off to a low cost of living country while my nest egg matures, and I have no criminal record. I could beat down a man on 5th avenue and end up with a clean record post-probation.

I could be wrong but it sounds to me that you have some narcissism going on and the benefits of success are giving you fuel. Do you bask in the admiration of others? Is that what drives you? I won't say there's anything wrong with that just, you know, don't be a dick about it.

Doesn't everyone want to be admired? I don't want to go into detail, but I don't work in politics - I work in technology. I have a very specific set of skills that many people like to glorify. Loq is wrong, I'm not a politician. Think less Frank Underwood, more Tyrell Wellick. I certainly enjoy admiration, but if I wanted just that I'd work for an NGO. I like being paid.

I'm not entitled, I'm just holding society to the social contract. There's an implicit agreement here: I hold back my darker tendencies, in exchange for gainful employment. If I can't be paid well for my skills, why would I work within the law? People like me will always rise to the top - it's in everyone's best interest I be provided a legal, mutually beneficial way for that to happen :)

I have a phd fesher and I'd expect you to put exactly as much stock in to any online quiz I'd write as that one: zero, i'm an idiot. If it was part of a published work with all the errors explained and you were a part of it, it might make sense to buy into it, but that's not the case, you're just some dude who took an online quiz.

also you cranked your "pretending to be a smug dark edgy moron" writing up too high. It was kind of believable in your first fesh, but now it's clear you're just fishing for even more extreme responses.

Outside cat chat:

My parents live in the country outside a small town and a lot of people will drive unwanted pets out there and drop them off so there is always a stray cat or dog coming around. Not long after my sister and I went to college my mom started leaving food out for the cats. A few of them stuck around and started breeding and before long there were like 20-30. My dad hates them and he and my mom have reached an uneasy truce on the subject. Every time the population of cats gets up to about 20-30 and my mom goes out of town for a trip my dad gets out his gun and shoots as many as he can until my mom gets back home. Inevitably he doesn't get them all and the few that are left start breeding again. You'd be surprised how fast 3-4 cats can turn into 30. Every time I go back home I don't know if I am going to see 3-4 super skittish cats or 30 cats sitting around a food bowl waiting to be fed. They don't speak about this to each other, my mom pretends they just left or "coyotes got them" even though she absolutely knows what is going on. It is kind of cute in a crazy country redneck way.

After a while only the most skittish and murder proof cats will survive and breed, creating a race of bullet resistant super cats.

My cat only goes outdoors for a short time everyday.

One time, a blue jay crashed into my bay window and broke its neck. While it flopped around on the ground, I was trying to figure out how to help it.

My cat came over, jumped on top of it and ripped its head off Ozzy style.
