My cat tries to murder me for attention. I'd actually wake up to scratch marks on my arm or face cause he sat on my bed pawing at me with his claws out and I never woke up.

Cat(people) would be a nightmare.

My cat snuggles into the crook of my arm during the night and sleeps peacefully until I get up in the morning to go to work, whereupon she looks whistfully at me as I leave. The most annoying she gets is when I return home and she meows at me until I give her a little bit of wet food.

I just don't get all these stories of murder-beasts that you all live with.

Maybe y'all are just bad at cats?

I'm sure getting cuckolded is a positive thing for a guy with that particular fetish but I doubt it's a particularly healthy thing for a relationship otherwise.

The coffee analogy guy is still the bigger IoSM though.

No my cat loves me, just loves me too much and doesn't understand what retracting his claws means.

At night he curls up between my legs all night long. He's always trying to get into my lap and snuggle and lick me with his sandpaper tongue. He's a drat good cat.

It's weird that cuckholding has entered mainstream conversations primarily because a particular politician's fanbase likes to call people cucks even though the only verifiable cuck to ever be in the White House is that politician.

I'm not including FDR because Eleanor's habits were probably the literal opposite of cuckholding.

The whole point of the article is that exploring fantasies in a safe manner can be helpful. If everyone involved is into trying it, it shouldn't hurt unless boundaries are crossed. It's not saying "every couple should try this". If one partner is doing this purely to satisfy the other partner, then that's a bad scene and shouldn't have happened, and that's when it's unhealthy.

I don't think you understand what reading an article is all about. See, I read the headline, and it said it could be good, which in turn means that it is good, ergo, CNN is encouraging all couples to actively engage in cuckolding.

It's really weird how many people read "Hey, here's a thing that exists and is sometimes cool for some people," and instead of thinking, "Oh, OK, I know a new thing," think, "Goddammit, here's another institution trying to force me to do things!"

Like, I don't read a story called "NASA's GOLD Mission Will Observe How Weather on Earth and in Space Interact" and think, "loving lamestream media telling me to observe how weather on Earth and in space interact!"

Though I suppose it helps that I don't have any suppressed desires to see weather interactions.

I thought it had more to do with how insecure a lot of these conservative guys are. An article and cuckolding makes them think Democrats are enforcing Prima Noctis or something.

There's also the assumption that the only possible positions someone can hold on an issue are "This is completely cool and good and everybody everywhere should embrace it," or "This is completely horrible and destructive and we need to wipe it from the face of the Earth." It's impossible to give something a nuanced critique or a qualified recommendation without people like Educating Liberals reading it as "Thing Good!" or "Thing Bad!"

Have you tried trimming his claws? Then he can slap your face all he wants and it won't hurt.

My cat doesn't sleep in my room, thankfully. He does, however, randomly run in when I'm home and hop on my lap to demand attention and pets for like half an hour non-stop. Then he'll just hop down and go sleep in his cat tunnels or something.

It's also not true. That "statistic" includes stuff like two suicides on school property, a guy shooting a BB gun at a school bus, and a college student in a criminal justice class mixing up a real gun and a training gun and accidentally shooting the wall.

I don't think it would work out well without hurting him in some way. When he reaches out to "Lovingly" touch you his paws splay out and the claws extend completely. Snagging clothes and my skin in the process. I think anything more than filing the tip would cause too much pain or stress since he is getting pretty old. And he regularly sharpens his claws multiple times a day so it's not like I could keep up with the file.

Don't worry too much, I just call him a lovable bastard and hug him until he finds ME annoying.

so you're reinforcing his behaviour, instead of indicating that it hurts. :downs:

That's the thing, NDT wrestled in high school and nearly became a male stripper to make ends meet in college. He wasn't even close to being a nerd. I guess fame got to him and he needs to chase the stereotype as hard as he can.

No, it isn’t, because even after applying all those discounts, there’s no remotely comparable nation to hold up next to the United States where the United States comes out looking better on this issue.

My point is when you hear “11 school shootings”, you picture 11 cases where someone brought a gun to school and started killing people. You don’t picture accidents involving a cop or someone committing suicide in an empty parking lot. It’s disingenuous and deceptive to try and use that language.

Yeah but once you have more than zero it's too many. Doesn't matter if its literally 11 or "only" 9. To argue what the actual number is and what the real definition is means it's now normal and that's hosed up.
