this post is fucking great its truly the fucking shit
fucking edit: fucking shit spelling
That looks like the hiking trail they keep going to in Doom Patrol, that is blatantly right next to the car park.
Why does this place lose it over censoring of curse words every damn time lol. It’s a f*cking word and the writer has a right to do whatever the fuck they choose when they write.
Heck half the time they look like they’re censored in a way to avoid being banned from uploading due to curse words.
To be abundantly clear, you freaks overreact on this topic every damn time. If I was into rage bait this place would be a damn gold mine. Y’all must have blessed lives if this is what you get your kn*ckers in a twist over.

- There’s too many mother uckers, ucking with my shi.
  
  With my balance shi
- I just wonder who does it. The poster? Is it because of moral reasons? Is it because they want to profit off this shitty meme and are smart enough to know they cant monetize it? Are they originally posting on some forum with strict curse word rules? Is it an automated system that does it? Is it ragebait? I have so many questions regarding this practice.
  I think its reposters, fishing for memes and cleaning them up to fill up a shitty facebook group that they then monetize. People then pick it up from them and post here.
- Oh boy it’s that time again!
  
  You can also say f*ck on the internet. My prerogative to say what I want.
Am I the only one who finds it really weird when people refer to themselves as mom or dad of their pets? Yikes
- Fun fact: every dog have, in fact, a real mom that's actually a dog and their separation was most likely non consensual.
  
  What a bitch.
- I prefer it to “owner”
  
  I like "human". I'll ask strange dogs at the dog park "where is your human?"
  I do similar to strange children that look lost at the grocery store--"where is your grown-up?" (I don't want to assume their family structure, and an adult talking to them usually causes them to dash back to their adult. Doesn't work the same way with dogs, tbh.)
  
  First off, it's "Lord of the House, first in his name".
- It is weird for the traditional view of pets as property, beasts of labour, ornaments, or other living in-person. However recent decades has seen a popular shift towards treating select sentient animals (experience emotions) with some degree of sapience (reasoning/higher cognition), like cats and dogs, as people. Humans treat them as individual persons with their own subjective experience, desires, and lives worth living.
  So when a human adopts a non-human animal under this view, they are also taking on the responsibility to care for the animal's needs and we'll-being, not just for what the animal provides the human (as would be the case of a beast of burden) but primarily for the sake of the animal's own worthwhile life--the human takes on a guardianship/parental role. This is why people are more and more being referred to as mom/dad/parent of their pet. More and more people are adopting animals as non-human children. Vets like to enforce it because it reduces animal cruelty and makes people more likely to do basic care.
  This isn't to say many farmers don't try to give their animals a good life or recognize them as feeling beings with their own personality. They do, but not to the same degree as treating a pet as a non-human child.
  
  Honestly, that doesn't make it much better. I always viewed the cats my family used to have as family members, but they were anything but children.
  The way @captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works put it captures it quite nicely. They rely on their owners for certain things, but they are not children and their personalities do not match that.
  Referring to them a such gives me the ick because a) it infantilizes beings which, well, simply aren't children, b) at the same time humanizes them too much. And, paradoxically, c) makes me think of the kind of people who carry dogs around in their handbags and essentially treat them more like plushies rather than actual living beings. Just doesn't sit right with me.
  
  In that case, we already have words for people who are owned and sold as property. She's the dog's master.
- Yes
  
  No..
  I have pets and I find it weird.
- It's also off-putting when veterinary staff do it. I get that it's easier than remembering the human client's name, but I'm not my dog's mom, for several reasons:
  I'm not a woman. Y'all are just misgendering me.
  He's a son of a bitch, not a human
  If he was the son of a human, that human was my grandma. I took him in after her death. That makes him my half-uncle.
  
  I know vet techs who would love it if you introduced yourself as your dogs's half nephew. That's hilarious.
- Do you also feel uncomfortable when people use the words adopt and foster when it comes to pets? They're also child-related words but I feel like those aren't as controversial to people.
  
  Because those words are not just for children.
  Like early-adopters is about new technology. And fostering can be about pride.
  But mom and dad is only in relation to a child in a family. Never a pet.
- I always find it really off-putting.
- No, it's weird.
- Extremely.
  I just suspect they have about the same IQ as their pet if they say stuff like that.
I see a bright future ahead when people try to censor dog tags.
- Advertisers are a bitch
  
  Weird way to say sacrifice fodder.
I'm envious of OOP, they found a fun-looking randomly-generated side quest with a cute magical creature.
- Also quite a quest to learn to speak a dog to make that call.
  
  I can speak a little dog but it doesn't work very well over the phone. Once I know a pup well enough (i.e. at least a hand-sniff and some petting/belly-rubs so we each have some indication that the other is friendly), it's fun to imitate the "play bow" and see how they respond. I figure if they can go to the trouble of learning to understand their human-assigned names and the typical assortment of dog-words, the least I can do is try to invite them to play in their own body language.
- And they lie for fake points. Weird.
  
  This is !dogs＠lemmy.world, not !detectives＠lemmy.world. Don't worry about it.
Fuck shit
Didn't think dogs would carry cellphones.
How would you call a dog?
- ...whistle?
