Trying (unsuccessfully) to stay out of dumb arguments. Feel free to ask for more pictures of any recently-posted critters, though keep in mind that I have rehomed some prior critters and plants to homes that fit them better. Y'all wanna see some birds?
Yes, but that comment is probably referring to the whole "curled up in a cardboard box" thing.
Those are some extremely patient dogs.
Ah, it's bigger than it looks in the photos, that's good.
But I dunno that I buy it being too big for jumping spiders, since jumping spiders live in places like "the entire wall of someone's bedroom, hiding in a potted plant to sleep" and "the whole planter box on someone's porch". Unless we're talking babies that need help finding food, it's hard to have an enclosure be too *big* for an animal. Too open, sure, but hiding places fix that.
I think I've seen this photo going around since before AI was really a thing.
It's a really cute setup, but it'd be way better for a jumping spider than for active little geckos.
If they could get the tech working, maybe. It's already in progress (for better reasons- artificial wombs are in the works so someone who can't carry a pregnancy to term can theoretically have it transplanted into something else to grow it). But "the richest people on the planet" Isn't a very big group, and boy are the other people gonna notice.
Boy, you got a chip on your shoulder about people doing things.
They haven't eaten in awhile and are actively playing sports. The game can wait a few minutes for them to have a snack. It's fine.
Aren't there some kids in the family?
Ah, yes, and nobody ever has an agenda to make people angry about immigrants.
A commonly used rule of thumb for what level of age gap is acceptable in a romantic relationship is "half your age plus seven". So the youngest person that (for example) a 50-year-old person should date, by that rule, is (50/2+7) 32. More relevant when both parties are younger.
Doggo learning how cats work, I see.
It might be a good idea to look into how that food is supposed to work, because as much as getting kitty to a healthy weight is a good thing, a food that advertises itself as leading to weight loss is a food that says "this will give your pet less nutrition".
Where someone is born does not dictate whether they're a terrible person. Period.
I'd go look at those numbers again, through a lens of "is it possible that this reflects what's more *visible* rather than what's actually happening?". For example: it's generally not considered newsworthy if a citizen of a country rapes another citizen. If an illegal immigrant rapes a citizen, some news outlets (particularly those invested in stirring up fear of/anger at illegal immigrants) may well decide this is worth covering. Hence, one of those rapes stays out of the news, one doesn't.
I mean... if that fear of spiders showed up around the time you started getting spiders put in your shirt, I may have an inkling as to where you got a fear of spiders.
Exposure when done right, yeah.
Isn't there a particular age where kids tend to pick up one or two fears that they just /have/ for absolutely no reason, including of completely innocuous things like "that one rug in the living room", and then lose later? Like somewhere around/shortly after toddler stage?
A significant portion of the creation process is /not/ fun for one party involved.
I can guarantee you that "moved to this country instead of being born in it" is not a factor that makes people more likely to be rapists. That's not how people work.
A lot of people are coming here because they're desperate and don't really have other options, not because they've spent a month browsing descriptions of all the different countries and gone "hm, yes, this looks like the best possible country to live".
Descended from, technically.
(...I think. unless demographics shifted a bunch since last time I checked.)
I mean I'm fine with people cheating their way in, frankly. Long as nobody's getting hurt, I don't care. People should just be able to go places.
Getting unceremoniously shunted back to a different country is more than likely not going to be "a vacation".
Well, mostly. There's some people mostly in Texas who're in the US because their ancestors lived in Mexico and then America shifted to encompass where they lived.
There is a non-zero chance OP is referring to actual mania, like what bipolar folks get sometimes.
I believe OP is referring to a piece of kink gear used in consensual roleplay, not to anything put on a real-life slave.
Because things can be cleaned, mostly. Though I'm sure some people are into the used factor, TBH.
That looks like the elephant equivalent of a kid playpen.
Not bothering with the whole "bashing it on a rock in order to swallow a bunch of splinters of bone" thing, huh.
