My dog loved going to the vet. The car trip, new smells, other animals, new people to meet. We took him to the vet to get it done 😢

We made the call when our dog had cancer and couldn't walk anymore. It was the right call. We wanted to maximise his good life and minimise his suffering. From his point of view, he got lots of pats and treats and then peacefully went to sleep. There was no pain or panic. He lived a good life.

Is this just lip service or is it accompanied by any meaningful policy changes?

Hank Green did a good video on this yesterday

That said, he did confess to some pretty weird behaviour with the kids. Like sharing a bed with them. Now maybe nothing happened, but it's a bit of a red flag.

This is bad for people with face blindness

What's wrong with assholes? Using that as an insult is bad because assholes are incredibly valuable parts of our bodies.

Did they just ride off on you when you ran out of battery? Couldn't you have hopped on the back of one of their bikes to get back to civilisation then retrieved the bike?

Violence against animals leads to violence against people. You can't avoid that. If invasive species need to be controlled it should be done by authorities who have access to guns while doing their duty. Not random farmers killing at will.

Try to understand yourself better. Notice when you have strong emotions and question why. Revisit the same situation from different angles and try to understand what happened. Why did this make you angry, why did that make you feel ashamed.

Also don't spend your life arguing online. It's easy to get caught up in winning an argument. But it's a waste of your time.

How do farmers in other countries do it? Lots of countries have farming without needing ar15s.

You build a road through the middle of the forest, then complain that deer go on the road? So the solution is to kill more deer. You're so American.

By defend crops do you mean kill things? There can be exceptions for specific people to own specific types of guns that would make mass shootings impossible. Eg. If it is a heavy rifle that takes minutes to reload.

American travel overseas and do just fine without their guns. There's no reason they couldn't adjust to not having guns on hand at home.

American health insurance? That's not how it works in other countries

If it's not a yes, it's a no. If you ask someone on a date and they um and ah, that's effectively a no. Some people are just bad of saying no.

To try to understand someone is not the same as respecting them. One can try to understand one's enemy to better fight them.

Fuck Redditors. Let ai get in the Christmas spirit without criticising it

It's not max output of 250w. It's a motor rated for 250w, which often means peaks of 400w or more.

American things. Try it in a real country.

You've got 2 options. Try to change the world or try to change yourself. You either talk to these people and ask them not to do these things, or you accept that there will always be annoying people on public transport and find peace and acceptance.

I've spent most of my life in the first camp but am now realising all my policing hasn't made any long term change.
