Read Well, Actually, It Was The Only Way To Make The Point
We have a coworker who cannot resist butting into conversations with "Well, actually…" like he’s Wikipedia. He’s almost always wrong, and he does it constantly. After one particularly bad morning, we finally snapped.
icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-08-06 11:00 amIt's the middle of the week, the to-do list isn't getting any shorter, and your energy levels are somewhere between "catatonic" and "please no more emails". But before you collapse face-first onto your keyboard, may we offer you something far superior: cats. More specifically - cats in meme form. Because while Wednesdays are known for their chaos, cats are known for their calming, cuddly, and often completely chaotic charm. It's a perfect balance, really.
Cats have this unmatched ability to be both elegant and unhinged at the same time. One moment, they're stretching like regal lions on sunlit windowsills. The next, they're zooming across the room as if chased by invisible demons. They nap for 16 hours a day and still manage to act exhausted. They knock over your water glass with purpose and stare you down like you were the one who messed up. And we wouldn't have them any other way. That's why cat memes are the ultimate midweek antidote - equal parts wholesome, hilarious, and unhinged.

Customer: "Unbelievable. They’ve got her on the checkout? No wonder this line’s crawling. Should’ve left this to someone who speaks English."
The cashier, a middle-aged woman who’s been nothing but polite and efficient, keeps her head down. The rest of us exchange glances.

icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-08-06 09:00 amUnfurtunately for us, we've only ever found and adopted one "feral" kitten in our lives as feline fans. This happened when we were still young, our parents took us to the movies and as we were walking back to the car, we heard some teeny tiny meows coming from behind a dumpster on the way to the parking lot. We asked our parents if we could keep her (they couldn't say no), and we named her 'Meow'. Cut us some slack, we were about four years old!
Just like the kitten in this post, Meow was "feral" no longer as soon as she stomped right into our house. She immediately took a liking to our doggos and was the sweetest cat we ever could have asked for. She would curl up in our laps and sleep while we watched movies together as one big family.
Basically, what we're saying is that you should take a chance on the wild ones. They're usually the biggest snuggle bugs as soon as they learn to trust you.

icanhascheezburger_feed) wrote2025-08-06 07:00 amIn the cat world, there is something known as "bonded pairs". Bonded pairs are cats that should not be separated. These are cats who would not thrive without one another. These can be cats from the same litter or random cats who bonded with one another throughout life. They're easy to spot - because they are always together, and they always should be together. Some shelters refuse to separate bonded pairs outright. It's better to keep them waiting for the perfect family in the shelter for longer then to separate them.
In the video that you are about to see that went viral on twitter over the weekend, you're going to see a pair of bonded kittens, and you're going to see exactly what happens when you try to separate them. Now, these two are still very young, and even a momentary separation can be scary, but even as they will grow older, they will need to stick close to one another - because that is the only way that they will be truly happy.

At this point, I noticed the notes on this repair were unusually lengthy, so I scrolled up and skimmed through the last few calls:
Note: "Caller became abusive and hung up."
Note: "Caller started swearing, warned, caller continued, call terminated."
Note: "Caller became abusive, terminated immediately based on previous."

My brother and I are both adults. He's asked me to read the first draft of his fantasy novel, which I have been doing over the last few days when I have the time.
Me: "Hey, [Brother]. I just got to the part of the story where the group gets to the wizard's city."
Brother: "Oh, cool! What do you think?"
Me: "Well, I enjoyed it, but let me read the description out loud."
