They always wind up playing the same character. It's some socially awkward 'Nice Guy' chasing a manic pixie dream girl while the director self-inserts their old high school insecurities by making them somehow one-up jocks or 'popular kids' that were actually probably not that bad, it just seemed that way at the time because they were jealous assholes and they needed to assign flaws to the people they perceive as better than them in order to gently fondle their own self-esteem. And then they try way too hard to be Smart and make witty jokes without ever actually laughing at them, and all they listen to is obscure indy bands. It's like this weird pandering hashtag relatable 'nerds being cool is a fashion starement' genre.
For the record I didn't know I had strong opinions about this until I was about half way through typing that. I think I might be being a hipster about hipster actors in hipster movies. Like some kind of Ultra Hipster.
Damn it.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

shit, I don't know if we can be friends anymore
seriously though, you're right
thing is, the whole nerds are cool thing is true just not the way the movies make it look
and I doubt you'd treat any girl you were after like she was a manic pixie dream girl, and preferably that girl would already think nerds were cool and awkwardness was cute and be impressed by your sense of humor and writing skills
totally different ball game

co-parenting DOES make it a more tempting offer.
I don't know, though. If you want the honest truth, the mortality rate around me is so high it would probably be irresponsible bordering on criminal. The last thing I sort-of almost took as a pet got immediately eaten by a raccoon.
If we get a cat and I get immediately attached to it (pretty much guaranteed) and then it dies, that'll pretty much write off the rest of my desire to live on this planet anymore.

I think a cat might actually be less needy than most houseplants, so if anything you're probably over-qualified.
I think I could manage cat babysitting with pretty minimal risk. Maybe I could be like the cool cat uncle? Except instead of giving it its first beer, I'll give it its first catnip. Have a heart-to-heart about the birds and the mice.
Damn it this cat doesn't exist why am I already emotional

another valid point
never get a succulent unless you have the actual sun in your house for lighting, they always say they're easy for beginners but if you don't literally parboil them they get all weird and tall and then die
oh man you'd be the best cool cat uncle
I'm emotional too
this has to happen now
hit me with your best cat names
I'm googling shelters as we speak

Me and the sun don't exactly have a great working relationship, as you can probably tell, so I'll take your word for it.

That is the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my entire life
It looks like an angry vagina grew legs
But also somehow
Weirdly cute
I'm uncomfortably conflicted
Look at it's little feet
I'm 99% sure that thing is a naked baby demon
It looks like my home ec teacher's neck
It has adorable little giant bat ears
I have some kind of weird cat-specific bipolar disorder from looking at this picture
