hactar42 , to cats in He kindly lets me know when breakfast is

I wish my cat would do cute things like that. When she wants to eat she just sits by the door and gives me a death stare. Then if I don't notice her after a bit she'll tear around the house like mad while making the fox em noise from Robinhood Men in Tights.

One of my favorite Wikipedia entries comes from this song. This entire passage just cracks me up.

"Spirit in the Sky" makes several religious references to Jesus, and Greenbaum himself is Jewish. In a 2006 interview with The New York Times, Greenbaum told a reporter he was inspired to write the song after watching Porter Wagoner singing a gospel song on TV. Greenbaum said: "I thought, 'Yeah, I could do that,' knowing nothing about gospel music, so I sat down and wrote my own gospel song. It came easy. I wrote the words in 15 minutes." Greenbaum had previously been a member of psychedelic jug band Dr. West's Medicine Show and Junk Band.

Put Richard Simmons on either side and you have 25 or 6 to 4 from Chicago. That solo has no right to be as fire as it is.

hactar42 , to Movies in What in your opinion are the best film adaptations of Shakespeare?

There is a version of Macbeth from 1979 with Ian McKellen and Judy Dench. It's not really a movie but a recording from the Royal Shakespeare Company. It uses minimal sets and just the actors standing in a circle. My wife is a huge Shakespeare fan, but I had no real interest in watching it outside of making her happy. But it was amazing. The acting was absolutely incredible. I've never seen anything else like it.

Like the saying goes:

Everything I know about the Kardashians I learned against my will.

This is true to a point. Once you go past brands Ralph Lauren, Gucci, or Versace to the "real" expensive brands, they become understated again. For example, this $555 blue T-shirt

hactar42 , to cats in Could you post a photo of your cat and tell me what makes them so special?

My cat is the very definition of a cat, totally aloof, fiercely independent, kind of an asshole. She only acknowledges my presence when she wants to eat. She loved to bait the dogs and get them in trouble for chasing her. No guests in our house have ever seen her. The only times she even allows me to pet her is when she has a mat she wants me to get out.

The only exception is with my daughter. She absolutely loves her. As long as no one else is around she will love all over her. This picture was from about 2 years ago when my daughter got a nasty cold, and she watched over her the entire time. She even turned around and yelled at me shortly after taking this picture because my daughter started having a small coughing fit.

hactar42 , to Asklemmy in What's a job you couldn't get paid enough to do?

They are basically glorified urgent care clinics that can charge you exorbitant sums because they call themselves ERs. Plus like you said they aren't attached to hospitals, so if something is really wrong they'll have to transfer you. And bonus for them, they probably own the ambulance that will transfer you, so they can take more of your money.

hactar42 , to Asklemmy in What's a job you couldn't get paid enough to do?

I've worked as a consultant for 15 years, so I've worked with a lot of companies. There have been two companies I refused to work for. A payday loan company and one of those places that runs stand alone ERs.

Ducks are also assholes for stopping traffic to cross the street. Fuckers can fly, but they decide to just waddle their dumbasses across busy streets.

hactar42 , to Ask Lemmy in What's a candy that's practically crack for you?

I rotate back and forth. Sometimes I'm all about Red Vines then a few months later it will be Twizzlers. Right now, I'm on a Twizzlers kick. But who knows next week I could find myself craving Red Vines again. And I have no idea why.

That's basically One Piece

hactar42 , to Ask Lemmy in Let's gloat a little, What makes Lemmy/Mastodon/KBin/BlueSky and the Fediverse better than Facebook/Reddit/Twitter?

The ability to contribute beyond posting/moderating. Anyone with a good idea and some technical know how can make a significant difference to the entire platform.

hactar42 , to Asklemmy in What is your favorite 100% non political "just nice music" music artist?

I've been listening to punk for 30 years now. I'm so glad politics have never made their way into the scene.
