    Cats would elect him for half a can of tuna. I wouldn’t. What’s your point again?

      scared to death of outsiders

      do you mean people from outside the house or is your cat actually racist?

    “Not afraid of vacuum cleaners”, now just look at all the"rationalists" terrified their chat bots will become sentient and eternally punish simulated copies of them for not ushering in the singularity with sufficient fervour.

    If we’re talking fears, cats don’t have an irrational fear for small spiders that physically cannot harm them.

    Man, if that guy could stop sniffing his farts for a second I might doubt this enough to check it’s actually real

    But no

    Whether this happened or not, it happened, because the man is insufferable

      Literally autism plus fame. But he’s not bad, just annoying.

      Edit: Oh wait, he’s apparently a bit of a sex pest? Goddamn, can anyone become popular in America without some sort of big immorality? I guess places like Sodom and Gomorrah can really exist, lol.

      It’s the curse of the medium. You can’t see people tone on text so his writing come across like a shithead sniffing on his own farts but when you watch him speak it became endearing like watching someone so excited to share you something.

      He’s had a couple shit takes, I don’t even remember what they were; but I think people just don’t like being reminded they’re stupid, not that he’s insufferable.

        If by “shit takes” you mean “sexual harassment scandals”, sure. Either way, he’s the walking epitome of “um…ackshually…” in a way that makes him profoundly distasteful to most of the population.

        Nah it’s because he is really smart in one area but keeps acting like he is some omni-genius. He lacks the insight to be able to say “I don’t know”.

        Now I’m not gonna pretend I’ve seen remotely close to everything he’s done, but everything I have seen oozes arrogance and skin-deep intellectualism.

        Oh yeah, and the sex pest stuff of course

      He’s somehow the most pseudointellectual person alive despite being a legitimate intellectual. Dude has a PhD from Columbia and he still posts “you can kiss yourself in the mirror, but only on the lips” multiple times.

      I was just completely turned off by him when he went all pedantic on some kid who said “The Sun rises in the East and sets in the West.” He argued that it’s not exactly East and West, and that it varies through the year and by location.

      The smarmy ass just doesn’t seem to understand that there is a difference between casual speech and rigorous scientific speech.

    That just sounds like proof that cats have autism. I quite enjoy chasing laser dots and quite dislike vacuum cleaners. :3
