Why was the overly attached girlfriend allowed to post her guidelines for managing a violent and abusive relationship with memes on Reddit over a period of years?
Why are you so focused on men vs. women? That kind of subtle (and often not so subtle) sexism that you frequently post isn’t really appreciated, or funny, it’s just shitty and boring. Just treat us like people…
For me it’s watching petapixel (a photography gear review channel) on youtube, not because i want photography gear, but because i think canada is beautiful especially in winters and so are the pictures in the video
I would think the cases of non-human animals committing suicide (mostly cetaceans) would be indicative that at least some of them can comprehend personal mortality on some level. It’s a bit different if an animal doesn’t eat due to stress or whatever and starves to death, I wouldn’t call that suicide. But whales occasionally just drown themselves, that’s pretty hard to rationalize any other way
Nothing concrete of course, because it’s very difficult to study at a stage where we cannot communicate or directly observe the emotional states of animals, nor ethically design a study where one attempts to cause animals enough distress to engage in self harm or bring about their deaths (and simultaneously prove that was their intent).
It’s in no way a concluded topic, but it doesn’t make sense to reject outright either - and I definitely think there is enough evidence around for animals understanding of their peers mortality, why start with the assumption that they have an inability to recognize their own mortality in the first place? It’s good to be skeptical, but unproven anthropomorphism is just as illogical as the opposite assumption.
Thanks for the details, I assumed something cultural because of the consistent horizontal orientation - it would have to be an extremely specific whipping technique to create those. It’s a shame colonizers and slavers used that practice as reason to hurt them even more, though…
I don’t know which aspect is stronger for certain but emotions are a very base thing. Humans can definitely intellectualize our emotions way more and create a lot of emotional nuance that way. But it seems reasonable that pure emotional intensity, and probably sometimes emotional perception (with less nuance) as well, could be stronger in some other highly social animals.
Was stalking your EX boyfriend normalized during the last decade?

Have you ever seen a rudolph moment happen in real life?
So either a trait or idea someone has that others make fun of, that saves the day?...
