    For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.

    Same goes for cats

    While I accept that cats didn’t elect Trump, I refuse to concede cats wouldn’t have elected Trump if they could vote. The man is a physical manifestation of the act of pushing a glass of water off the edge of the table.

    This only proves cats are smarter than Americans. But it kinda tracks that an American would equalise Americans and humans.

        You know what’s a great taunt to say reeeeeaaaaaaalllllly slow at people who don’t speak Spanish?

        Culero

        Means asshole

        And is fun to say, and you can make a little ring shape with your finger and trace it when you say it. Makes sure you pronounce it por la nariz

          I called my girlfriend “culera” as a joke and nearly lost my skull to an ancient Aztec ritual.

          I other news, she always says, “I am a frijolera because I love beans. I will never get mad if someone calls me ‘beaner.’”

          She is a hilarious woman.

      My cat is similar, but she has absolutely loved all of our trans friends. Maybe she’s more of a Chase Oliver voter i don’t know anything about him

    I dunno man, if I saw a fucking giant frantically coming near me with a sucking machine I can fit in and that does as much noise as a jet engine, I’d be giving it space too.

        If my video games provided me sustenance at regular intervals, you can bet your fat ass that my fat ass would be a much fatter ass.

      It’s mostly dogs that vote republican. They want to sniff ass without consent or repercussions. Donald trump is their president.

        But most dogs love everyone, which is absolutely not a Republican trait. They are super manipulative, though, and would be prone to spreading misinformation if it benefits them.

        Although one of my wife’s dogs doesn’t like black people, but that’s because she had a black neighbor (who was a cop, of course) that intentionally tried to scare the dog any chance he got when she was a puppy.

    No, humans chase a fleeting sense of stability and fear change and uncertainty.

    Things that are decidedly less concrete than laser dots and vacuums.
