he pontificated to the peasantry living in the damp muck of the quarry, his tongue black of polish, defending his masters atop the stone tower whose top could not be seen. He himself did not live in the tower, but had a horse upon which he sat, which granted his wisdom authority over the common rabble.

Most usual pets don't care for my existence at all.

That sucks, dude. I'm sorry you've never experienced that.

Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day:

But to ask "would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn't know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho" is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.

"Would people really let some stray live with them?"

That's literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.

You don't need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

Do you support the following policies:

Count it, that's a Trump supporter.

"I love all animals, as long as those useless fucks stay outta my way!"

Thank you for this sobering point. It's easy to let your hate of someone open the gates to fascism. I mean, that's basically what this whole thing (gestures vaguely south) is about.

Why are you people so crazy about this issue?

We really don't like nazis.

But he's draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers....

Humidifiers.

It's just a pool of water with a little nebulizer and a fan to blow the mist out a chimney.

Trouble is, they're all made by the fucking plague demon Nurgle with the sole purpose of aerosolizing mold and bacteria by having the tiniest nooks and crannies than cannot be reached to be physically cleaned.

And before I get the "you gotta clean it with vinegar every week" comment, two points:

  1. You don't soak your hands in soap and rinse them off and call them clean. You gotta scrub them.
  2. Am I supposed to fill a 5 gallon bucket with vinegar to soak the whole water tank every week? Because the chimney goes right through that bitch.

Don't forget the costs of desperately trying to rehire critical employees, rebuilding essential agencies, and the environmental and human toll for yielding oversight to corporate greed!

That's one of the things I respect the hell out of with Bill Burr. He says plenty of shit I disagree with, but also says lots that I strongly agree with. His opinions are truly his own and he'll voice them to a reasonable point. He's no one's parrot.

Hell yeah!

I have procreated and passed off my genes, but it's bullshit to tell other people that's the point of being alive.

You gotta do what you feel is right. If nothing feels worthwhile, make the best of the ride!
