Humans learn behavior through trial and error and learning from others. Maybe this will be a valuable experience regarding how they come to choose their opinions and how they choose to express them, maybe not. Who knows? We'll keep doing our part to let others know when certain opinions are intolerable or unrealistic and they can use that information as they will, if they want. Being allowed to express something doesn't mean they are correct nor immune to criticism 🤷♀️
That shark has seen some shit
Oat milk ice cream is pretty good too!!
Isn't he talking about people talking about him in the cut verse? Referring to himself? He's not calling anyone a bundle of sticks, he's repeating what he's been called
There were just too many contradictions and the more I learned about science, especially physics, astronomy, and psychology, and the way the world works, I discovered that there is always a rational explanation for things, even if sometimes the knowledge necessary to comprehend something is not something I possess personally at the moment. People who would preach in my church would confidently claim things I knew to be fallacies, misleading, or straight up incorrect, not out of malice but their own ignorance as well, and I stopped trusting the words of religious leaders as I discovered they were as human as myself- their faith didn't protect them from error or make them better people, and eventually I just couldn't fall back on faith or ideology to be the bedrock of my moral or philosophical compass because it just wasn't trustworthy.
It will probably just get your humidifier sticky and gross
Is that a pigeon missing everything but bones on one side??
Ope, suddenly I remembered I love driving the speed limit.
I mean, if it's a difference between light in my eyes while driving and not, I'll choose the latter 🤷♀️
Good, perhaps the boomers will recognize how impossible the current structure is to live under and actually pay attention to what they are voting for...
Who am I kidding, that's not going to happen 😭
I know what you mean here, but it's a bit egotistical of humans to be like "we literally know what this creature who can't talk" is thinking when they can barely properly guess what their long term partner or friend is always thinking 🤣 cats MIGHT be more simplistic in thought patterns than humans, but to assert what all cats believe based on an incorrect reporting on John Bradshaw's studies of cats is just plain wrong- please do a quick search! You'll see there are conflicting reports of what his book seems to claim, but he himself does not assert that that's what cats literally believe. 😬
Edit to add: here's the article where he's being interviewed about it, and the relevant part!
"I've read articles where you've said cats think of us as big, stupid cats. Is that accurate?
No. In the book [I say] that cats behave toward us in a way that's indistinguishable from [how] they would act toward other cats. They do think we're clumsy: Not many cats trip over people, but we trip over cats.
But I don't think they think of us as being dumb and stupid, since cats don't rub on another cat that's inferior to them."

It doesn't matter. Racist uncle is going to die early from a heart attack and those kids are going to be the people in charge when you're needing to be cared for- invest in them.
