Pfft. They’re not on the team!
“He is empathically not on the team”
What? He’s 200% empathically on the team, how can that be misunderstood? Empathically being there and just es excited to do the work has nothing to do with how go they are on the actual task of finding the truffles.
You moved the “H”
And I learned a new word! Also read it wrong the first time, and would have thought it was a typo either way.
You moved the “H”
— Tony Soprano
Emphatically, not “Empathically.”
Emphatically means “with emphasis.” Like saying “he is definitely not on the team.”

I know this is the cats community, but my old dog was similar. Sometimes I’d be looking for something on the ground, like a four-leaf clover or something I dropped. She didn’t know what I was looking for, but she’d come by with intense interest in whatever I was sifting through. If I were to start digging, she would have started digging, too.
It was funny when it snowed and I’d get the snow shovel. She’d follow me and start digging at piles of snow without any clear direction or goal.
Animals are so pure, it knew what you were doing but was unable to comprehend why, but still wanted to be a part of it.
That is pocketful of simulacra of every fucking job that I have ever held.
That’s called Imposter Syndrome. It’s when you feel like you’re not suited to your job and is actually very common amongst charlatans like you who don’t have a clue what you’re doing and are causing so many problems for everyone else but purely by chance they haven’t realised yet or maybe they have and are going to publicly confront you about it any second now
People showing you the door is not the same thing as you looking at it.
Your reply, though, is a mercy and a kindness.
He’s on the team, he’s like the jokey guy that isn’t really good and he mostly rides the bench but everyone loves him so he boosts morale, and he’s doing his best.
Ah, yes. Nepotism. I know it well.
Larry probably gets extra pets and treats, too.
This is amazing.
Oh, this is a good one. I’ll have to keep this one in my back pocket.
It’s a great stand in for
digging latrines
Lmfao, bro thinks he can train and employ a cat who’s digging holes just for the love of the game.
Marvelous.
Humans do nothing.
The dog is forced to work.
Larry acts selflessly.
Is this image from Dōgen?
yep! aka “Zen”. Several copies were on youtube last I checked.
Larry can smell the truffles. That’s why he digs in the clean ground. Don’t wanna accidentally touch one of those!
He’s not digging for truffles, he’s digging for holes. And he’s amazing at it!
Found another one! An unbroken streak.
His 100% hit rate is truly amazing. He has never dug up a not-hole!
And if he always found them what kind of team morale would that make for?
Exactly. He’s boosting the dog’s confidence. Not all heroes wear capes.
I wonder if he’s actually showing them something else… 10x better than any truffle. Something marvelous, of which they are unaware the importance since they are not cats
The secret is now known! There should be some kinda expression for that.
I’m on team Larry!
But he is emphatically not on the team
Larrys goals are beyond your meagre understanding
Is that how you spell that!?
“Properly” its spelt like that. TIL its meager in American English.
Its gray and grey all over again.
Spelt, like the bread?
