Purge Trooper Cody finally finds Obi-wan on Tatooine and is about to Take the Shot til he sees obi chug caf straight from the caf maker and not go to bed for the following 25 hours and cody jusr motherhens himself out of the chips control with sheer willpower to get that dumbass to Sleep

this is so funny, like

purge trooper cody has a simple mission on tatooine and randomly sees obi-wan buying a plum or something at the market and goes full !!! gotta follow him

so he follows him to his hut and observes him for a while just to see obi-wan never ever going near is bed, eating junk and swallowing liters of coffee in a span of minutes and listen, cody could have killed him right there and then but he still has a minimum of honor so he can’t just shoot a dehydrated idiot man who’s in absolutely no condition to fight, so naturally he has to enter the hut and passive-aggressively cook that man a soup

obi-wan has no idea what’s going on but he’s vibing

[cc-2020]

purge trooper cody, threateningly: go ahead

purge trooper cody, sliding a plate with broccoli in obi-wan’s direction: eat it

obi-wan, sweating nervously:

[milfbailorgana]

Kid Luke comes over to visit because he enjoys Obi-Wan’s company and Cody is just standing there in the corner

Luke: hey Ben! Who’s that?

Purge trooper Cody: V̸̢̨̥̭̰̲͙̙̞̆̀́͒͛̽͋̽e̴̛̯̘͓̼͎̪͙͉͊̏͂́̓̍̀̏̌͝͝ͅg̴̼̼̪̺̪͔̲͈͕̓ͅe̶̡̢̙̝̩̳̦̘̫͓͎͔͈͉͈̻͌͐̀̕͜t̵̢̢̢͖̱̫͕̻̝̗̠̦̜͍̭̥͉̐͒̊͊́̍͗̌͆̅̊̏̒̊̍̆̍͆̕̕͜͠͠ä̶̻̥̻͉̜̳͖̳͖̬̖̪͌̄l̴͍̥̺͖̖̖͒͐͐̊

Obi-Wan: Thats uhhhh…

Obi-Wan: he’s….

Obi-Wan: don’t mind him

[cc-2020]

obi-wan, sitting in his armchair, looking up from his book: so when are we going to fight

purge trooper cody, sitting in his own armchair, eyeing obi-wan critically:

purge trooper cody: still not beefy enough

[cc-2020]

obi-wan, waking up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, sweating and breathing hard: oh shit oh fuck-

purge trooper cody, standing next to his bed, evaluating this situation as unhealthy but having no idea how to handle it, kicking obi-wan: stop it

[cc-2020]

purge trooper cody, still very loyal to the empire, looking all stern and mysterious while talking to vader via comm: i found kenobi and i’m about to kill him

someone in the background, talking to obi-wan, who accepted that his life is a weird romance novel now: oh is that your husband-

vader:

purge trooper cody, determined and very serious: gonna kill him

you know the obsession with keeping cats indoors is a purely American view of the world? Most Europeans let their cats outdoors without any problems. Many Europeans even think it's cruel to keep them indoors all the time

No, it’s not. European cats aren’t magically smarter and less environmentally impactful than American cats, it’s just more socially acceptable to let them roam. Do you not have cars in Europe? Foxes? Raptors? Stray dogs? Rat poison? Parasites? Diseases? What about the Croydon Cat Killer in England, where the dismemberment of over 400 cats was being investigated, and it turned out that foxes were mutilating the bodies of cats that were killed by cars? Suddenly it’s all ok because it was only horrific death via automobile, instead of decapitation like they suspected? Totally acceptable to outdoor cat owners, who cares if your cat gets hit by a car and dies on the side of the road? There is real concern for the hybridization of wildcats in Europe, Asia, and Africa, but sure, it’s just a US problem. How about how outdoor cats are effectively reducing the protective area of a national park in Poland? How about the increased incidence of lungworms and GI parasites in European free roaming cats? How about this small study from Denmark where 90% of free roaming cats tested positive for GI parasites on necropsy (and the risk was higher in rural areas). Not Europe, but for the sake of completeness, free roaming cats kill ~377 MILLION birds per year in Australia, and 61 million of those kills are thought to be from owned cats. You can also talk to @drferox about how problematic outdoor cats are in Australia. Free roaming cats are bad for the environment, and are put in unnecessary danger. Why don’t you provide enrichment for your cat instead of letting them run around unsupervised where they will kill native wildlife and get sick or injured or die (or all of the above). Other resources from @catsindoors about the impact of domestic cats around the world. Snagged a lot of these links from their blog.

[prettyprettypretty-good-deactiv]

Humans would also be safer and the environment protected if we all just stayed indoors. No passing of parasites, bacteria, or viruses. No harm to other species. No cross breeding either (if that bothers you). Do you want to stay indoors?

[vet-and-wild]

I generally try to ignore responses like this, but I want to address this because I see this ridiculous argument a lot.

The reason that this comparison is inaccurate is because humans have the ability to use reason and make logical choices, but cats don’t. Humans see a car coming and wait until the street is clear to cross. Cats don’t. Humans know not to eat strange food on the ground. Cats don’t. Humans can look up which plants are toxic and avoid them. Cats can’t. Humans don’t eat raw rabbits and rodents that may carry disease. Cats do. Humans who hunt follow laws that prevent them from killing endangered species (besides shitty poachers). Cats don’t.

A far more accurate comparison would be a cat and a toddler. They lack the ability to recognize danger and don’t have the ability to reason that an adult does. I’m sure a toddler would have a great time roaming around the neighborhood, but no one is going to argue in favor of that. People can understand that doing that is irresponsible and dangerous. But no sane person is going to lock their toddler inside and provide them with nothing to do; no one is saying we should do that for cats either. Play with them. Provide cat trees. Rotate their toys. Give them puzzle feeders. And if you want them to go outside you can leash train them. Or build a catio. The options aren’t let them roam vs. never provide them with entertainment. If it is unbearable to entertain and care for a cat that is kept indoors, you probably shouldn’t own a cat.

Would you let your dog roam? Or your bird? How about your rabbit? I’m sure all of these animals would have a great time running (or flying) around the neighborhood, but we generally recognize that this is a bad idea. It’s no different for cats. We are caretakers for our animals, so it is up to us to use our big brains to make logical choices about what they should or shouldn’t do. We have the ability to understand the risks associated with free roaming. Cats don’t. We can weigh risks and benefits before making a decision. Cats can’t.

tldr: Humans have the ability to make logical decisions to keep themselves safe but cats do not.

Outdoor cats are also more or less an invasive species. They are such good hunters, they are capable of permanently changing an ecosystem by killing native prey animals. 

Protect your kitty and local biodiversity–keep them inside!

[r33naytealeaves]

I just wanted to tack on that, there is no “more or less”, cats are an invasive species. Domesticated animals are invasive species and allowing them to interact with the local environment without monitoring will harm the local biodiversity. Cats especially. Domestic cats have a very high success rate for hunting. Historically, they have lead to multiple extinctions of animals because people brought cats along as pest control and pets.

[roseate-felidae]

I’m very pro indoor only cat. But sadly, this is not common in the UK, most people free roam their cats despite the dangers.

I’ve seen two cats who were roadkill, multiple poisoned rats that make easy prey, gardens full of poisonous (to cats) plants, and a cat at the vet who survived his arm being mauled by a fox through a catio. Yet people still do it. I’m in a small village, no idea how much worse in a bigger place it would be.

It is entirely cultural. Sadly, it also means people don’t tend to play with their pets and let them free roam as their only enrichment. So they baulk at how “bored” a cat would be indoors. Forgetting it’s not just kittens who need playtime. You are seen as a “weirdo” for harness/lead training a cat here, which I don’t agree with obviously.

Most rescues will not let you adopt a cat if you do not let it be indoor-outdoor. They will even check up on your garden to see it’s safety (like a cat can’t jump a fence lol). Charities do this, too.

I still keep my cat indoors only. My step mum thought I was being cruel until I explained to her the dangers of a cat outside.

I wish attitudes would change here. Please keep your cat indoors!

[robotslenderman]

It’s not even a fucking Yank thing. Here in Australia we do have people with outdoor cats, but most people see them as irresponsible wankers. People actively letting their cats outside are shrinking to the point that I saw an anti-missing poster outside of my doctor’s surgery one day telling people to stop calling them when their cat is outside, meaning that there’s now a lot of people who see an outdoor cat and assume it’s lost by default instead of the other way around.

Across the pond in New Zealand ONE SINGLE CAT drove an entire species to extinction. There are still arseholes over there but they’re generally even stricter than we are here in Oz.

Also it’s fucking weird that people say it’s understandable that we do it because of our ecosystem. Do Europeans not have ecosystems? Or are you just subscribing to the colonialist idea that your ecosystem is a boring default and only “exotic” ecosystems should be preserved?

And they’re all Vlad

[captainjonnitkessler]

Today at work a couple of apprentices were rotating rows of solar panels and unwittingly turned one row directly into a couple of metal posts that had been driven into the ground, shattering two panels.

And on the one hand I feel really bad for them, because they were clearly really upset and they kept apologizing even though it wasn't really their fault. (Who the fuck puts metal posts underneath a rotating solar panel?!)

On the other hand, I kind of can't stop laughing. They were so distraught! God, what must have gone through their minds when they heard the first crunch. This is SUCH a classic apprentice scenario, everyone in the trades has been there. Congrats on your rite of passage kiddos, you're gonna be telling this story to your apprentices one day
