I’m definitely not surprised that that’s 2600 calories, but I AM surprised that YOU were surprised by that.

That is awesome! I really want to try it now…. Not really in line with the weight loss goals…. But maybe next bulking phase lol
A fight suddenly broke out amongst 3 of my cats. One got startled by something and immediately attacked another without warning and suddenly another attacked one while the other fled probably as some kind of defence mechanism since cats aren’t pack animals so they don’t “pick sides” nor gang up against other cat(s) so it was a simple case of “redirected aggression”. And for anyone who has owned multiple cats before, you’d know spontaneous shit like this happens for only like a couple of seconds, ends before you even have time to react, and they just act like nothing happened after about an hour.
But that’s not the point. It’s happened before when something startled them and there’s quite a bit of noise since lots of people have been doing renovation work around my estate due to the upcoming Chinese New Year.
While giving them treats after this happened just in case of the very rare event this shit escalates or it causes one cat to start fucking with another later, I started jokingly appeasing while berating them in “gangster” terminology in the Fujian dialect which I picked up from young because I lived in a place where there were lots of gangs and there was a fight at least every other day. It was just to amuse myself because I’m bored as fuck working from home. Also, cats obviously don’t understand any languages but they can easily understand your body language and tone of voice.
My wife was startled and asked me why I knew all these terms.
But that’s STILL not the point.
I confess I’m still wondering why MY WIFE KNEW I WAS USING “GANGSTER LANGUAGE” since this is only used in my region and Taiwan while she’s from China and doesn’t even speak my dialect and the dialect used in the actual Fujian province in China TODAY is pretty different from other countries INCLUDING Taiwan for reasons which I don’t know about but I only understood half of it when I went there even though I consider it my “first language” since it was the only dialect other than Teochew that I spoke at home before starting school and I sometimes even have to mentally translate it before I open my mouth or write stuff when I’m speaking Mandarin or even English.
It is literally IMPOSSIBLE for her to know these terms unless she had previous boyfriends from my region or Taiwan whom were like me since she’s never been out of the country prior to me knowing her and no one goes to the province where she lived for any reason other than work so the probability of that would be extremely fucking low.
Or she decided to watch my precious DVD collection of Hou Hsiao Hsien (a Taiwanese filmmaker who makes a lot of “arthouse” flicks with gang dialogue so fucking realistic they fucking BANNED them in some countries in my region even though these movies were sweeping up multiple international awards from HK to Taiwan to Venice and Cannes) movies while I was at work but this would be prior to COVID since I’ve never seen her watch any of them when I started working from home and she hates these kinds of movies anyway because of they’re bloody slow moving, mostly in a dialect she doesn’t understand much of so she needs to read the Mandarin SUBTITLES which would make it very fucking extremely improbable that she managed to remember the “gang terms” in the dialogue and the nihilism, which she doesn’t like, is normally turned up to 11 or higher.
But then she would know why I knew the terminology lol.
Imma gonna GPS the shit out of the car when she goes out.

I confess that I don’t do front squats for 2 reasons only:
- I don’t want the autopsy results to show “auto-erotic asphyxiation”
- If I’m going to die under a bar, it sure as hell better be more weight than my sub 3 plate front squat
. Imagine people watching it saying “dude was pretty big, how’s he gonna die under such light weight?” I can’t go out like that

This is a joke reference to an old thread? (I never read it, just saw the title, that’s why I ask)
Also, I confess your post made me think of the The Pina Colada Song LOL.
Also also, I confess that train/mask story would’ve been much, much better if the body proportions had been the other way around. But that’s just me, I guess.

Yes, it is lol. My wife doesn’t drive although she has a driving license. She has no sense of direction for some reason and once had to call me to call a cab to pick her up when she got lost while driving.

I had a family of cats for a couple of generations that were a very tight knit and well coordinated pack. It was actually pretty amazing to watch all 4 of them go after other cats and dogs in the neighborhood. They’d branch off, do flanking maneuvers, ambush attacks, they were just awesome!
Always a viable option.

I think they were just defending the territory that they considered theirs’s but not collectively owned at the same time. IMO the different tactics were probably not even coordinated but if they grew up amongst multiple kittens, their play fights would have taught them more techniques than kittens that grow up in pairs or alone so there was a larger variety of manoeuvres they instinctually had at their disposal.
EDIT:
Just my opinion, though, since cat behavior has fascinated me so much seeing how different they are after observing the behavior of pack animals like dogs, which my family owned and my parents still have 2, and even monkeys which had regular gang fights where I lived in a forested area nearby that had 2 troops of them and kids would start running out and calling us to go watch lol. I could be wrong. For monkeys, the coordination was very obvious and equally fascinating. E.g while screaming and posturing, one would take the opportunity to pull a member of the other troop towards his and 3 of them would fuck him up together lol. These are long tailed macaques I’m talking about btw. I don’t know what other species like capuchins do although I’ve read they’re usually quite different but that was a longass time ago so I can’t really remember so I could also be wrong.
They were neat. I’d spend way too much time watching them protect their territory.
One classic was the neighbors dog, a pit type. He would wander around and once found my cat grey-grey. So, she bolts back to the porch and dog chases. Once on the porch, dog gets swarmed by the 3 other kitties who were up there waiting.
Dog goes hauling ass back home, all 4 cats chasing until he was back in his yard. Then they held a line in the middle of the street.
Dog has never entered our yard again. He actually veers quickly back across the street as soon as he gets to the boundary.

I meet my advisor in 2hrs.
I am terrified. We are going tk discuss the future of my project. I’m ambivalent about his decision (give up or not) . It’s more that I don’t want to face him.
Confession: I find this the stuff of nightmares. @SkyzykS and @anna_5588 watch out for the monkeys!

What do they mean by “at least three”…
I find it concerning that they don’t know how many actually got out

I imagine counting 100 monkeys isn’t that straightforward. You can’t really do a roll call.
We really need to get a handle on these movie tropes coming to life!
Like at least place a temporary hold on truck loads of monkeys.
Nothing good can happen when you give a kid the keys to a truck load of monkeys. Richard Preston knew this!
I confess this new food shortage is making me nervous.
Chicken and rice is getting harder and harder to find on the shelves. I’ve cleaned both Publix’s out of rice the last two days, and cream cheese lol.
I feel like soon I’m gonna get to find out how much sweet potato I can eat
