Just to clarify: he wasn’t completely wild. He was well-socialized and he wasn’t aggressive about food - you could safely stick your hand in his mouth and pull food out. Beyond that, I didn’t bring him to places where he could get in trouble that way.
I get that “badly trained” can mean various things including simply neglecting a dog, but in the context of this meme I just meant that my dog wanted to eat whatever people were eating (in moderation) and he whined a lot if someone refused to play with him.
People would tell me that my dog was badly trained, but the way I see it, being trained isn’t fun. I have to be trained because I need to be able to earn money and survive in the real world, but my dog didn’t need a job and he asked for so little - why wouldn’t I provide him everything he wanted?
Plus it was absolutely hilarious when he would gradually lure guests away from the dinner table by being adorable and then when they were far enough from it, he would dash back to it faster than they could and eat their food.
Fun fact: humans aren’t responsible for the first mass extinction caused by organisms polluting the atmosphere with poisonous gas. Blue-green algae did it first, with “a decrease in the size of the biosphere of >80%”.
Almost ten years ago, I was walking and as a car drove by, a woman inside it yelled something at me. I couldn’t hear what she said but I assumed she was catcalling me. That memory warms me to this day.
The PETM wasn’t so bad, and neither was the Cretaceous hothouse Earth. Paleontology gives me the perspective needed to know that we’re not all going to die even in the worst-case scenario.
Bunkers? Burn? The air will still be breathable and the temperature will still be within the livable range. Global warming is a big problem, but it isn’t going to turn the planet into an uninhabitable wasteland, just as it didn’t during the multiple times in the past when it happened naturally.
Yeah, I feel like Avengers: Endgame was an ending for the MCU. I’m not complaining, because a good story needs to have an ending, but I’m also not motivated to see superhero movies coming out after Endgame (at least not cosmic-scale superhero movies - I’ll always have a soft spot for Peter Parker).
One time I invited a girl over to watch a movie and she got mad at me because apparently that’s what guys say when they want sex? I just wanted to watch a movie…
The worst part was realizing how disappointed all those other girls will did come over and watch movies with me must have been.
So drinking a real-world cow’s milk is ok, but drinking a Zootopia cow’s milk would not be ok because… the Zootopia cow is presumably a full member of society who earns a living by consensually being milked?
I was surprised by how nervous some of the people who visited me from the city were when I lived in a slightly rural area. It wasn’t even that remote - I had a neighbor across the street! Telling people that there were no bears and a lot less crime didn’t convince them to relax.
A moonless night away from any artificial light is dark. Can’t-see-your-own-feet dark, and also so quiet that you start hearing a lot of noises that you aren’t used to hearing. It’s really unsettling. But of course I just carried a flashlight.
Believe me, I miss it too. I actually grew up in a big city, moved to a rural area for work, and then had to move back to that same big city. Crowding, noise, smells, terrible commutes - all the bad stuff about city living that I just took for granted before bothers me constantly now. I fantasize about being back on my own land with my own house, my own pickup truck, my own trees, and no strangers. All the people I care about are in the big city, they refuse to leave, and ultimately being close to them is more important to me, but I really wish they were country folk.
I will only read a book if it has either robots or wizards. Ideally there would be both, they would battle, but one of the robots would fall in love with a wizard.
