There are people that believe that men can be women because there is no difference between men and women and we need special 'violence against women' laws because men are dangerous to women, more aggressive, and toxic... even though they are the same as women.

Yes, we need science to tell us all kinds of obvious shit apparently.

Cats understand their names and are probably just choosing to ignore you, a study suggests

Have you ever wondered if your cat just doesn't understand its name and that's why it's ignoring you? Well, nope.

Ehhhh misleading headline. From the end of the article:

The researchers attempted to experiment with cats who lived in a cat cafe, but they found that the cats could not distinguish their own names from the those of other cats in the cafe.

However, they could distinguish their names from other nouns.

Though the researchers concluced that cats are able to discriminate their own names from other words, the study was unable to conclude whether the cats are able to distinguish the name as being an identifier for them or just a word that may have special meaning.

When asked why Chase decided to forgive rather than try and recoup owed money, Martinez said that the company, “felt it was a better decision for all parties, particularly our customers, to forgive the debt."

The company wouldn't elaborate on how much debt was outstanding or how many customers had signed up for their cards.

I have a pretty massive credit limit on my one card. With no charges on it rolling over. Let me know when they make the move to the US and I'll buy a new truck or something on the credit card the week before or a mass amount of hookers and blow.
