Everyone here balancing the ethics of getting wet like it's assault.
Water melts snowflakes and wicked witches, everyone else need not worry.
All living things should be used to being wet either all the time or somewhat regularly. To think beyond that, wow, society has its teeth in you and you are lost.
The cat could panic, run away and get lost. Small a actions can have big consequences.
Good. Get rid of pests.
If only it was that easy to get rid of you.
If you're worried about your cat running away you shouldn't let it roam free.
It is assault, though.
Kid acted maliciously towards the cat. It's not like the kid accidentally knocked a bottle of water and some of it splashed the cat. No. There was a conscious decision to torment the cat by deliberately throwing water over it.
Punishment fits the crime here.
I'll remember to call the police every time it rains.
Those 40 acid tablets I had in my back pocket though
Tetris11 was carrying 40 acid tablets that got destroyed by water. 40. That's as many as 4 tens, and that's awful.
I was gonna feed them to the ducks 😢
"I hope you're free for about a month, man!"
"hey man, am I driving ok?"
"I think we're parked, man"
You’ll be fine in 12 hours.
