No one claimed anyone “needed help” adopting an animal. Shelters are commonly full of animals and if they can incentivize adopting versus buying an animal, why not? Don’t talk about shit when you don’t know the context
The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.
Sure, in which case I guess it’s just annoying? My dog will usually bark or snap at dogs that try to mount her, if you are at the dog park that behavior will happen regardless, spayed female dogs hump as well as males who are both neutered and not 🤷♀️
It doesn’t matter. Racist uncle is going to die early from a heart attack and those kids are going to be the people in charge when you’re needing to be cared for- invest in them.
It’s just one of those examples that helps us realize how extremely easy it is to misinterpret information without the appropriate context, yet we consume endless context-less content and all the time our brains assume we know the meaning and assigns some kind of judgement on the information or person, but without that appropriate context we really have no idea whatsoever, but we’re constantly building a worldview based on what we’re reading and seeing even though we really aren’t getting it right at all. Isn’t that just a mind fuck?
Nah, these noodles mainly use strangulation to kill their prey, they just strike it first to get it in close- it just needs to detach itself from itself and it will be okay
I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it. Sometimes I feel like I’m just being to over the top with snark or otherwise don’t want to be that kind of person, but a lot of the time I’ll decide I just really don’t care...
I cancel a lot more lately. As I’m writing my response I’m also thinking about what they might respond with to my response and as I’m doing this I realize this discussion is going to take more energy and engagement than I really initially cared for or than it’s worth and at that point I’m like… why even bother, nevermind
Kathleen Folbigg was convicted in 2003 of murdering three of her children, and of manslaughter in the death of her fourth. Folbigg maintained her innocence and said the children had died of natural causes over a decade, from 1989-1999....
Humans learn behavior through trial and error and learning from others. Maybe this will be a valuable experience regarding how they come to choose their opinions and how they choose to express them, maybe not. Who knows? We’ll keep doing our part to let others know when certain opinions are intolerable or unrealistic and they can use that information as they will, if they want. Being allowed to express something doesn’t mean they are correct nor immune to criticism 🤷♀️
Isn’t he talking about people talking about him in the cut verse? Referring to himself? He’s not calling anyone a bundle of sticks, he’s repeating what he’s been called
There were just too many contradictions and the more I learned about science, especially physics, astronomy, and psychology, and the way the world works, I discovered that there is always a rational explanation for things, even if sometimes the knowledge necessary to comprehend something is not something I possess personally at the moment. People who would preach in my church would confidently claim things I knew to be fallacies, misleading, or straight up incorrect, not out of malice but their own ignorance as well, and I stopped trusting the words of religious leaders as I discovered they were as human as myself- their faith didn’t protect them from error or make them better people, and eventually I just couldn’t fall back on faith or ideology to be the bedrock of my moral or philosophical compass because it just wasn’t trustworthy.
I think in that case I’d just ask them to write it down and I’ll come read it and write a response when they’re done, then could go do something else in that time- I guess it’s like my life now… text me or what you said doesn’t exist… 😆😩

What's a proper response to another dog attempting to mount your dog multiple times and the owner really not doing anything about it?
The owner kind of makes a weak attempt to seem like they’re trying, but if I weren’t there, they wouldn’t intervene at all. I’m asking because I want to make sure that I don’t over react next time.
