You're 100% right. You're not a cheap slut. You're not cheap at all. You're in fact quite expensive... for a slut.

@emilis
So hump its head before it gets to hump yours. Sounds about right coming from you.

@pasture
You know what, because I like you so much, here's another one. For free.

@pasture
Which one? There are multiple cute girls in Oreimo.

@pasture
One star, coming right up.

@icedquinn
Corporal Shepard didn't have a crowbar either. He managed to be a badass with a wrench and a knife.

What would you do if you heard a headcrab sound IRL?

@emilis
Not that I wish to imply that you've been sleeping on the job...

@TheAncestor @Nukie @histoire
No.

@TheAncestor @colonelj
Yeah, but where's the fun in it if the children don't see them either.

@colonelj
Don't know about the effects on the immune system, but I have found that wearing a mask has helped me deal much better with the cold dry winter air. I don't think my sinuses even realized it's actually winter.

@histoire @TheAncestor
You're not Wendy.

@TheAncestor
Man... if Wendy called me her little pogchamp... that would make my day.

@Bajax @histoire
I think it could be because dogs are better at emulating human expressions. We seem to be more likely to think a dog is smiling, frowning, surprised or whatever just by looking at their face. Which means it's much easier for people to empathize with dogs than with cats. If anything, this could actually be their most evolved trait that enables them to live with humans.

Cats do have their own little adapted trait, but most people don't even realize it. Apparently, meowing isn't actually used to communicate among themselves (except with kittens). Cats really do meow just to get your attention.

@Bajax @histoire
Sure, they have evolved traits that help them live in a human dominated world and cooperate with us, but they still need the human socialization to make full use of them. Take finger pointing for example, you can compare it with the human ability to speak. We surely have evolved to be better able to use language, but still no human is born knowing how to speak.

@TheAncestor
Are you sure that's not you?

@Bajax @histoire
>but a lot of them are strays for a reason-- they don't like people that much

I'm starting to thing that this could be a stereotype that's not entirely true. I've seen a few cases of stray cats that are very friendly to humans, and one that even approached dogs.

And I honestly wouldn't put much faith in the "dogs are genetically biased to love humans". The worst a stray cat can be is usually indifferent or scared of humans. The worst a stray dog can be is hostile. The only thing a dog is genetically predisposed is to be in a pack. If it's socialized to think humans are it's primary pack, that's obviously good. But if they become socialized to only see other dogs as their pack, or as their primary pack, that's potentially dangerous for us.

Haven't heard this particular complain, and can't say I can verify if it was the case. The problem is people hated TTG for other reasons, mainly that people loved the old TT, and this just felt like an insult to it and the characters they loved. I'd bet that if the TTG randomness was explored with a new IP instead, nobody would have cared, and maybe they would have even liked it.
But CN did what it did, people ended up hating TTG, and thus probably started blaming it for everything else.

@Rasp @RafiX
Teen Titans Go? That's probably the least of the things that drove people away. But yeah, last show I was interested in from CN was Adventure Time, and it's been a looooong time since I discovered that one.

Can't decide if racist or just stupid.
