    I respect that you’re very passionate about animal welfare. So this is not a critique. Surrendering an animal out of pure convenience is extremely shitty and the people that do that deserve judgement.

    That said:

    Sometimes, shit happens. An animal you’ve loved and cared for deeply is no longer going to receive the same care, or is in an unsafe environment for whatever reason. Maybe there’s an unexpected health issue. Maybe work suddenly requires a lot more travel. Maybe a newborn has come and the animal and the baby can’t coexist, either due to allergies or temperament.

    I’m not saying every surrendered animal is a legit sob story, but many of them will be.




  • And those 5 people are Effective Altruists, who believe they have invented God and are terrified of it.

    They genuinely believe that every living person can be sacrificed in pursuit of the basilisk, because the number of lives it will create will far exceed that of all of the humans who have ever existed.

    Except for them, of course. They’re doing the most important work humanity will ever know.

    There is only one solution for them, and it starts with a V and rhymes with Biolence.


  • Frankly I will accept nothing less than true universal healthcare for all. Immigrants, abortions, trans care, all of it. Illegals wanting abortions and a daycare teacher seeking HRT for someone else’s kids? Approved.

    We tried negotiating and we got the ACA. Fuck that. It’s time to be the unhinged leftist goblins they think we are, give us all of it, or we’ll burn the house down with the hold outs inside.







  • A skilled carpenter can spit out a fight of stairs in a day or so. An unskilled one can spit them out in half the time. They’re not nearly as complicated as you’d think.

    This is still fake as fuck, construction projects are contract labor. They’ll bring in the tradies they need as they need them and then fire the ones they don’t, generally getting rid of too many people too early, rather than keeping people around they don’t need.

    Carpenters on these projects are generally finish carpenters, they’d be installing drywall and trim, and would be quite busy trying to keep up with the schedule.





  • We called him clippy at the time. His official name didn’t mean that’s what we called him. “Fuck off Clippy” is something my father and I said to each other until he died. It was a shorthand we ended up using for just about any bloatware we needed to get rid of to get a computer to work how we wanted.
