Cats have standards.

The triangle / circle / square (or back / home / app tray) navigation system.

I've had to re-enable it on my last phones because they come with the much less usable new gesture navigation, and I dread the day it's not an option anymore.

The classic app drawer.

If I wanted an iPhone (with their cluttered, unusable, and extremely user hostile design) I'd get an iPhone.

I don't want my screen cluttered with random icons, I want multiple sliding screens with widgets for the apps I need to be able to check at a glance, with a row of quick access apps / app folders at the bottom (slidable and hidable if possible), with an icon to access the list of less used apps on the top right, where it used to be back when android was useable instead of a cheap iOS clone.

Luckily third party launchers are still a thing.

Indeed it is!

The multi-bear!

It's Nintendo FF

That's the point; the washing machine and the step brother are a metaphor for Nintendo, the step sister for their customers.

Incest

No, no, it's metaphorical criticism.

60

More like three hundred (unless you mean how long it lasted).

In general the default for cats and dogs is the male form, though it can be ambiguous between male and don't know / don't care.

For instance if you saw a random unidentified cat you could say you saw “un gat / gato / chat”, and it would be impossible to tell whether you were referring to a male cat or a cat of unknown gender (while if you used the female form it'd be unambiguous).

Romance languages really could use a neutral form, but “gat@”, “gat*”, or “gatx” just don't work when you try to figure out how to say them out loud, and using the female form for neutral just moves the problem to the other side.

About 80% of orange cats are male; not as clear as one in three thousand for calicos, but stilll.

The problem is that what sounds good in German doesn't necessarily sound good in other gendered languages (romance languages, for instance), so if you know both you need to know multiple mutually incompatible lists of arbitrarily gendered words.

Many romance languages have both; for instance, in Catalan “gos” / “gossa”, “gat” / “gata”, in Spanish, “perro” / “perra”, “gato” / “gata”, or in French “chien” / “chienne”, “chat” / “chatte”.

And if I did, you deserved it

Didn't he sort of skip all the way to this point back in 2006 at Howard Stern's when he set his minimum age for girls to have sex with at zero, sorry, thirteen..?

“Do you think you could now be banging 24-year-olds,” Stern asked in the 2006 interview.

“Oh, absolutely,” Trump responded “I have no trouble.”

“Would you do it” Stern clarified.

“I have no problem,” the future president said.

Stern’s co-host Robin Quivers then asked, “do you have an age limit or would you…”

“If I- No, no, I have no age–. I mean, I have an age li…” Trump replied.

Then, when asked to provide his “upper bracket,” Trump said, “I don’t want to be like Congressman Foley, with, you know, 12-year-olds.”

empathy should be a basic requirement for any political office in a democracy

Empathy should be a basic requirement for participation in society, period.

The whole concept of a social contract is based (and dependant) on empathy.

You lack empathy, you get put into a mental hospital to get it fixed, and to prevent you from harming others and society in general.

If your case is currently incurable (probably because it's not acquired but due to some as yet unfixable brain malformation), you get taken care of as well as possible for the rest of your life (or until a cure is developed), but prevented from ever interacting with society.

This alone would fix most of humanity's problems.
