How dare anyone stand against the status quo, am I right?

This is all very true, and I agree completely. But you've overlooked two very important factors that I can think of:

  1. Many people attending these meetings do not have the authority to cancel them, and the people who do have the authority may not be receptive to this argument.
  2. Some people will benefit from assisted notetaking even if the meeting was worthy of the time.

I'm neurodivergent and when I'm writing notes my brain shuts off audio processing. I literally can't take notes without missing more of the meeting than I'm writing down. And unfortunately most people above me in the hierarchy can't fathom writing a message instead of speaking for an hour.

Reminder that you can also do this if your rep voted against tabling to express support for what they're doing and they they're representing you well.

Millions do not accept this leadership and are actively protesting, but I guess fuck all of us?

That's so very Christian. Oh yes, this nice young kid who gleefully responded to let you sit next to him just isn't interested in your religion and respectfully declined your unwarranted solicitation. That means he's a sinner and you have to actively self-regulate not to hate him?

That's awesome, I love how excited cats are about their favorite routines. Does she ever go sit there and look at you like she's asking for something to sniff?

What a warm, loving thing to do for your companion. He got to keep some normalcy with the added comfort of being held by his person. Thank you for sharing, that made me happy.

Definitely, my cats love to sniff all of my cooked meals. I'll bring it to them if they're lounging to pay the sniff tax!

I normally set the grocery bags down when I get home and let them investigate before I put stuff away.

That's good enrichment right there! Cats love to investigate new and interesting smells within their territory.

Might want to tone down the bigotry there. Criticize the government and the individuals running it, criticize the citizens that are supporting this genocide. Don't make it about the ethnic group.

There are literally four currently alive (and stragglers from past generations) that lived through the same 3 events. And in my very strong opinion, Gen Z was not hit the hardest of the current generations.

Yeah, I agree. This article paints a bit of a different picture than the initial ones. Idgaf what dispute two of my neighbors are having with each other, if one of them is drumming and loudly singing late at night I'm calling in a noise complaint, god damn.

I'll tell you what I'm not doing though:

  1. Arson
  2. Psychological torment leaving a pet skull in a burned home
  3. Murder

Whoever killed Joss is fucked up, even if 1 and 2 aren't actually true (barbecue inside...?????). Regardless of how much of an ass Joss might have been as a neighbor.
