It's not going anywhere. Better to wait until we're reasonably certain we've figured out how to look in it safely instead of risking loving it up because you're impatient.

Incorrect. If we don't look at it now, it may as well already be destroyed. Open the fucker up! We should also contact all the contactless tribes while we're at it. Those fuckers need to know about the 85 Bears before it's too late.

We should also let people touch the things in museums. What's the point of seeing something behind glass when you can actually touch it and feel a connection to history?

Born 150 years too late. Back in the Victorian era they'd find a mummy and immediately get all their friends together to unwrap it and see what was inside. And when it turned out to be a dead guy, maybe see what he tastes like?

The point I was trying to make was just that sometimes it comes down to actors making decisions about the movies they’re in and then us retrospectively discussing them

Adam driver is one and Elijah wood is another


And come correct about Nic cage’s decisions



Oh, for sure. He knows exactly what he’s good at. And he’s a good person. The fact it’s a reddit meme doesn’t mean he didn’t found a leukemia charity in his sisters name or anything.

I know someone that works with him a lot and they have nothing but good things to say about him.

Also Elijah Wood ducking killed it in Wilfred.

Believe you me, smells aside, I'd loved to have lived in the Victorian times. I'd be able to eat my fill of mummies every night!

No, I think most people generally like The Rock. Maybe no one loves him, but I'd say people generally have a positive opinion about him

The Rock is great, I just realised I sat and watched the entirety of Rampage without even thinking of him as being the wrestler, he was just Dwayne Johnson to me, true range.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson took a lot of time to get out of his wrestling image and poo poo-Tier movies, but he's been out of it for around a decade now. Never forget:

To me, there's nothing wrong with loving pets -- that's what they're there for after all. It's when people talk AS their pets and use that stupid "doggo" slang that I get pissed & annoyed.

not really though, a dog loves you for getting attention from you and a bunch of other things as well, cats i'm sure too. i also don't think human love is much more than just reciprocity for various things, so what's wrong with food being a part of that? a human baby also just happens to feel attached to its mother because it gets milk and body warmth and sees a face

I ran into "koiro" the first time a while back on Facebook and after my initial disgust, I think I kind of hate it. (The Finnish word for dog is koira.)

e: I don't hate "doggo" though, doggo is fine. Of course I call them doges.

I don't think Doggo or Pupper sound great outside of very, very specific very online stuff, but the hate some people have for it seems so joyless and performatively "adult" that I will absolutely double-down on it to wind people up.

I don't entirely disagree, but something about people complaining about it can come across as excessively dour. It always makes me think of lonely middle-aged men complaining in pubs about anyone not as broken as they are.

I knew a guy who knew I hated that sort of "doggo" slang, and he printed out a bunch of memes containing those phrases & hid them around my desk at a work function.

Eventually I had to block him on Facebook because he would spam all my posts with "henlo" and poo poo like that. If he'd been spamming with anything else, I would have blocked him anyway, but the fact is that he knew I was specifically annoyed by it and went out of his way to annoy me further. Not particularly friendly behavior.

I am a well-adjusted 33-year old woman, and this is not something I would complain about in a pub. Pubs are complaining about your favorite baseball team.

One of my good friends’ families names all their dogs stuff like “Littleshit” and “Assface” and it annoys me. I know the dogs don’t care but it’s so crass and how are they not embarrassed going to the vet or whatever?

Know what’s annoying? Hearing an old lady with a thick Texas accent going “who a gwood widdwe bwoy, assface?? You is! You is!”

When I'm cat-sitting for my sister I call their cat good boy despite it very obviously not being a boy, because my sister named it after our dad.

Yeah, there were a few studies where given the choice between interaction with their owners and food the cats chose the owners.

Dogs and cats are both highly social animals, not unlike people in that aspect, and form emotional bonds too.

I remember a while back some doofus presented the theory that if cats were as big as, say, lions, they'd eat their owners, as some sort of "proof" that cats don't actually bond with humans. Like no poo poo, they'd loving be lions then wouldn't they?
