It’s a descriptive rule, not a prescriptive rule, and likely one snuck into the powerpoint to try and get the class thinking and laughing. Like calling the descriptions of gravity the “laws of gravity”, it describes something about the world we’ve seen, but there’s no Physics Police enforcing all matter follow the “Laws” - it’s just the term we use for a description of how things work.

A lot of advanced English classes are much more on the descriptivist side of things - observing patterns in ways we use language - than the prescriptivist approach we get in grade school where we’re just learning rote things like spellings.

Considering you’re the only one who went negative, I think you won at being controversial!

There is no moral way to raise a cat.

Either they live inside and live an entire life in a few thousand square feet at best for 16-20 years, or you let them outside to hunt and they kill tons of wildlife and are exposed to becoming roadkill/coyote food etc.

My personal dodge is to adopt old cats that have already been indoctrinated into inside life and who could never be let out anyway.

Note: if we had started building more plants 20 years ago and pulled a France (mostly nuclear grid), hell yeah, that would be great and we wouldn’t be where we are now. But this last-minute drive is heavily poisoned by coal just trying to stay relevant.

Coal pivoted to pushing for nuclear plants because build-times on nuke plants are ~20 years and they’d be the obvious filler mid-term. That’s why there’s so much pro-nuke rhetoric despite renewables being cheaper and faster to make: it’s their only chance to stay relevant.

Back in the alarm days of college I used Pink Floyd - Time because the couple seconds of ticking before everything went off would send me into conniptions to prevent the calamity.

They been Zoomers to me for a decade, why fix what ain’t broke

Bojack Horseman has some good rep, but before that, yeah, I can’t think of anything off the top of my head. An explicit “Ace day” seems silly unless pitched as a self-care day, I guess?

This is what I would refer to the extra big bags of cereal as when living with a friend and it was his turn to do grocery shopping.
