they didnt need plumbing though, like most other cultures/civs knew that you needed to dig a deep enough hole and not working around barefoot in your poopspot. But somehow southerns didnt do both those things.

I'm sure it's already been said but you know all those places pre-plumbing also had health issues like this because shockingly, burying your turds doesn't actually make them not turds. It's almost like that's why there's a major push to try to help make plumbing and toilets worldwide or something you classist dingus.

His name is Larry. There is also a 'Chief Mouser of the Foreign & Commonwealth Office' named Palmerston. He and Larry don't get along.

quote:

Palmerston was in the news on 3 May 2016, as it was reported that he had caught his first mouse. On 11 July 2016, Palmerston was caught on camera in a stand-off between himself and Larry in and around Downing Street. On 26 July 2016, Palmerston was caught sneaking into Number 10, when the famous black door was left open. He was later evicted by resident police. On 1 August 2016, a journalist caught Palmerston and Larry having a serious cat-fight, which led to Palmerston having damage to his ear and Larry losing his collar.

In October 2017, Palmerston "appointed" his first overseas envoys. Lawrence of Abdoun, a rescued black-and-white street tomcat, was given a role at the British Embassy in Amman, Jordan and is named after British military officer T. E. Lawrence and the neighbourhood in Amman where the embassy is located.Leyla Pixie, an orphaned kitten from Turkey, was adopted by the British Consulate General in Istanbul.

Even some of the most monstrous people in all of history kept pets because they saw some value, found some enjoyment, in the comradary and the love and small comforts they bring.

Hey don't worry about how it looks. Honestly some of the most responsible people with animals are NON pet owners. I absolutely love animals, but I just find it easier to not own any. Because of this, I'm not sure I can adequately take care of an animal (plus vet bills can get really expensive!) So I really feel like it's just the more responsible thing for me not to have any pets. There are far,far too many people out there that are garbage pet owners and I don't want to be one of them.

He failed at that. He rode in trying to look like a cowboy as a stunt while voting, but anyone who knows horses at all made fun of him for doing nearly everything wrong. He tried to ride it like a carousel horse, not an intelligent animal. People notice poo poo like that, especially in the South, and it scored him no points.

The wiki specifically mentions that Larry doesn't usually take to new people, but was cool with Obama givin' him a pat. Reminds me of this classic.

Whatever my reservations about some of his policies, Obama was a decent and chill guy. I hope we can have another president in my lifetime with so few asterisks on their legacy and personal conduct.
