I think that both putting your pet down and not doing so must be an honest consideration.

As their caretaker, you can empathize with them the most. Imagine what you would want in their situation, and do it. You have the ability to cognize this - they do not.

There are humane services that will come to your home so they don't even have to leave a familiar environment. But sometimes, your buddy still has joy in life, even though he's all wobbly.

..in the end, the truth is that it's a judgment call, and you do the best you can - and make your choices in a way that, if they were there in your head with you, and could understand your choices, they would love you for it, and that you can love yourself for.

That's the joke.

Indeed. The raw fact of how people tend to work doesn't make it right. It's just that hating on them for it is ineffectual.

Those three Democrat are focusing on the thing all of the Democrats and Republicans should.

For a great example of this sort of thing done right, compare The Expanse books to the show.

The books kinda glossed over the head of the fucking entire earth's story and plotline. In the show, she was a highlight. Also, a few characters were merged into one female character, and women, in general, were given more prevalence. Poly relationships were given good voice, and overall, things just fit and felt natural.

That is to say: It can be done right. Disco just doesn't do right, imo.

The state cannot have been absolutely static - if it was, the big bang would not have occurred, and the same stasis would be existing now, unchanged.

This is just terrible planning. I hate that economic philosophy.

Inflation is real, though, and it is also theft.

Yeah, this is something I stand firmly behind. Fundamentally, our issue is social and cultural. We are armed, and so when we lash out, that has greater impact.

That doesn't mean we should disarm. We are armed for good reason. But we should address the underlying cultural issues.

Yeah. Violence is generally not the answer. But when it is, it's the only answer.

There's a standard. /usr was often a different partition.

/bin - system binaries
/sbin - system binaries that need superuser privileges
/usr/bin - Normal binaries
/usr/sbin - normal binaries that require superuser privileges
/usr/local/bin - for executables that aren't 'packaged' - i.e., installed by you or some other program system-wide
