Cats are awesome, no doubt! And I totally get the appeal of chilling with a furry friend over small talk. But here's a thought: people who want to get to know you are pretty cool too.

Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that other humans aren't just NPCs in our personal storyline. They've got their own complex lives, hopes, dreams, and probably some wild stories to share if we give them a chance.Getting to know both the cats AND the people (and dogs too!) can really enrich your life. Each interaction, whether it's with a purring kitty or a fellow partygoer, adds a little something to who you are. So maybe try not to avoid either?

(Unless you're allergic, of course. Then by all means, stick to the non-sneezy option!)

Apparently an unpopular opinion on Lemmy, but it's actually nice to have friends and socialize.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Having friends and socializing is fun, but I don't necessarily want to do it for 5 consecutive hours. Even at a party, it's nice to take a break and let my mind rest for a bit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yeah but people with friends who socialize don't have time to post memes... Unless they don't have a 8@5 obligation.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Nah, you see stuff like this because it's counter to a lot of people. Noisy wheel etc. I like socializing with friends, but also have a limited social battery. Geberally that just means I don't attend things I don't want to, but there have been times where circumstance has put me in situations that I could identify with the comic.

Still, a comic that's just a straight portrayal of people enjoying normal stuff isn't going to get much traction or be interesting, which is why you'll see stuff like this more. It isn't a representative of the actual whole sample of people here, it's just the more unique post that will get attention from people who don't feel as noticed or understood in their real life.

It sure is! And if you have great friends, you all can agree that there are much better ways to socialize than standing around in the dark drinking while overly loud music plays!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 17 hours ago

In my experience, you're describing a bar or club more than a party. Most of the parties I've been at were well lit and music at a volume that allowed for conversation.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago

That's one of the ways you can enjoy yourself. There are others but calling them 'better' than that is just ignorant.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

It is good to satisfy your values with friendship and ponies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

Seems fitting https://youtu.be/T5s2OTqDiyo?si=ErWm3zcBZPS1E8lL

Black cats are the last ones to be adopted from shelters. If you want a cat, check out the black ones at your local shelter.

Embrace the void.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In the US, may want to wait until Halloween is over. Many shelters won't allow them for a period of time due to high return rate or risk of abuse. Btw, void kitties are some of the best kitties!

I have a fully white and a fully black cat and the black one is definitely the more purr-heavy

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

I'm a black tux dude myself, but the CDS gave me a dilute calico tux last time I went to the shelter. I didn't have much choice in the matter she chose me the moment I walked in the door.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

She's the only person on that party worth talking too...

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago

Alas, cats prefer people who don't prefer them.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Dog also works well. Then, when it's time to hit the 'ole dusty trail, skip saying farewell to those you know with the trusty "Irish goodbye".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

"it's better than an Irish hello. Cause that's a car bomb."

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If you say goodbye to the cat, it's a Tokyo sayonara.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

If you French kiss the cat as a farewell, thats a San Diego depart.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Good ol French exit

I wish that was me and a dog
