I mean I'm the same as the cat, plus I have free internet and a volunteer job I can do at home, but I still wanna leave the house daily and do something interesting.
I agree with almost all this list, but Building 7 pisses me off a bit

Because two of the tallest buildings in the world collapsed right next to it, causing structural damage that lead to it's collapse.
BuT iT lOoKs LiKe A DeMoLiTiOn.
What do you think structural failure is meant to look like? Do you think it's meant to look like Jenga bricks falling over? Like do you really think two of the largest buildings in the world collapsing next to a comparatively small building like that is going to do nothing?
The reason why you don't see surrounding buildings damaged when they're demolishing something like a British Tower-block is because they time the explosions precisely, shore up anything that might get damaged and evacuate the area. Do you really think the same thing would happen if two of the world's largest towers had their floors slam down on each other like a squeezebox, and then had the cores collapse right next to them? Do you, hand on heart, think a building right next to that happening, wouldn't suffer structural damage?
Wanna know something about 9/11? If the US government wanted to do a false flag, they wouldn't fucking bother doing some long winded scheme involving thermite or explosives or missiles disguised perfectly as planes that can be debunked by people who think Occam is a razor company. They would just like whatever of the 101 major terror plots that are being planned against the US that they know about happen. Why spend millions of dollars doing it yourself when you can just fucking let the guy in Afghanistan and his buddies that you have been watching for a decade and change do what they have been planning.
That, or, and this is something people might not consider, as cruel, power hungry, and sociopathic as the world's governments may be, they are also made up of people, some of those people fuck up, some of those people are morons. The idea that the everpresent They, (The Enby that controls the world) is hypercompetant and hyperintelegent is just something people believe to feel safer when they trust the government, and more powerful when they don't.
I know, and you don't need to point to Operation Northwoods to "prove" anything because American Government officials have proposed much worse things and have done much worse things.
Like MacArthur proposed using nukes like conventional bombs to completely irradiate the Korean - Chinese Border. This would not merely kill Millions, perhaps billions, but it would cause a nuclear winter. For that, MacArthur was dismissed. That was a proposal.
What people forget is that MacArthur fired upon American World War One vets protesting to get their War bonuses because of the depression during the Bonus War. You don't need to make up conspiracies, what governments have already done/doing are bad enough.
Basically. Buildings don't fall like Jenga bricks. When something bad happens, they tend to implode, be it on purpose, if an airliner crashes into them, or if the aforementioned building collapses next to you and causes you structural damage.
Oh wow, I guess this conspiracy has gone on for about 80 years now because they must have faked all the newsreel footage of buildings collapsing from fire bombings during the blitz. There's plenty of examples of buildings collapsing to the fire, also has ever occurred to you that maybe, just maybe, having a Boeing 767 crash into the side of the building might have caused just a bit of damage.
9/11 conspiracy theorists are so desperate to prove that 9/11 was a masterful plan by the government that only they have figured out that they can't even use Occam's razor.
Why did building seven collapse? Because I had two of the world's tallest buildings collapsed right next to it. It's not that hard.
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams? Well it's a miracle then that the plane hit the only floors in the building with no flammable material inside. Everyone in there was just butt naked on asbestos floors. And there was definitely no gas line going up to the top floor for the restaurant there. Also, can we just talk about the elephant in the room, the fact that getting hit by a 767 going full tilt would cause a lot of damage?
"Oh but what about the 1945 empire state crash?" A B-25 lost in the fog is a lot slower and a lot smaller than a 767. I can think of several plane crashes where a plane crashes into a building, only four of them involved a controlled flight into the building at full tilt. Three of them are on 9/11, the fourth one was a guy copying 9/11 in a Cessna.
"Oh but what about the puffs of smoke that were clearly demolition rounds?" Yeah if only there was a reason that puffs of dust and air would pop out the windows like that, maybe something like the floors coming down very quickly?
But do you want to hear a couple of conspiracy theories?
The American government knew that 9/11 was going to happen and sat on their hands to let it happen so they could pass Draconian laws to roll back freedoms and rights and give them the excuse to go into places like Afghanistan and Iraq.
The agencies that you think are hypercompetent sociopaths with special technology but letting them do a false flag attack are not actually hypercompetent and dropped the ball so badly that over 3,000 people died.
Both of those conspiracy theories are just as enraging and dare I even say even more likely then the US government orchestrating 911 like a villain in a marvel movie. If you think the US government is hyper competent and in control of everything, let me remind you that during the biggest crisis of this decade, the president of the United States on live camera suggested that people should inject themselves of bleach to kill covid.
Sometimes you just need to take Occam's razor to a conspiracy theory. And if you think that a plane crashing into something couldn't cause structural damage severe enough to cause a building to collapse, go look up the aftermath of Lockerbie, or any plane crash featuring buildings.
And if you're going to look at me right in the eye and tell me that having two of the world's biggest buildings collapse right next to a building would not cause structural damage to said building, I think you need to touch grass because that's Hobbyless behaviour.

Yeah but you see making transgender people miserable and keeping them out of general society is the goal of the anti trans movement. They don't want transgender people to have fun, or socialise, or be happy.

The UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) has fined Reddit £14.47 million (over $19.5 million) for collecting and using the personal information of children under 13 without adequate safeguards.
Reasonable. Now who's gonna bet that some dip shit in Washington makes it illegal because "mothers should face the consequences of their decisions" or some bullshit.
Call me a cynical old bitch but when the US does something reasonable I always think "how they gonna fuck it up this time?"
Nah, I was thinking something along the lines of the Right saying that Young mothers are abandoning their kids because "they're selfish" or "they are avoiding responsibility" so some state passes a law that states that abandoned kids get DNA tested and traced back to their mothers so they can be forced to raise kids they can't afford/can't raise "to protect the family".
The US has a track record of fucking over women and girls, what with their war against contraception, abortion, adequate child care, etc. It wouldn't surprise me if the next move is "stop women giving kids up for adoption" under the guise of "protecting the family" or "personal responsibility" or some shit, but in reality is just a way to create cheap labour from underpaid women with a mouth to feed.
People: "I am NOT paying my barista a tip for this, what do you MEAN they DEMAND a tip."
Meanwhile the Barista is being paid less than US$3 an hour because in America, you can be paid that and be expected to reach minimum wage through tips if you work food service. Want to end that? Demand that food service workers be paid minimum wage at the very least. Don't want to do even that? Then stop getting fast food.
No, this will not raise the price of food in any meaningful way.
No, these are not all teens, the average age of a minimum wage worker is 40.
No, this will not raise the price of goods generally. Wages have remained stagnant and the price of goods have risen regardless.
So we're going to see citizens and legal immigrants sent to random facilities miles away from their families and lawyers like we do in America? We're going to see random people getting shot for disrespecting poorly trained officers with violent streaks and an abusive past?
You will be glad to know that HOAs are almost unheard of in the UK and where they exist they're usually nothing more than an organisation for tending to the village green, common areas and sometimes library book boxes.

Every time there's football matches between Rangers and Celtic in Glasgow, they send out the riot police because shit can get violent very easily.
On the other side of the central belt in Edinburgh, there were plans to have separators on the trams to keep Hibs and Hearts fans separate.
London tube trains have to skip some stations on match days to prevent certain fans mixing and fighting. Doesn't stop them banging on the tube trains. Arsenal tube station has bars specifically designed to stop rival teams fighting each other on the stairs.
Millwall fans are so notoriously violent when the Dockland's light railway was being built, rather than naming a station "Millwall" they named it "Mudchute". Do you know how bad you have to be to have your area's station named after a euphemism for arsehole.
