Why not have a dog park? If I understood this article properly it's not "no childrens park, all dog" but "some dog please." Kids can have their play space and doggies can have theres. People keep the dogs out of the kid play areas out of courtesy, and people keep themselves and their kids the fuck out of the dog…
My sister has a particularly rowdy pup, and the dog park is her favorite place since she can just run wild and free without a care in the world. One afternoon a woman brought her small child to the dog park and the kid got trampled by the dog. The kid's mom had the gaul to reprimand my sister for not paying closer…
I totally agree. Framing this as a kid vs. dog argument seems pretty ludicrous to me. It's a public space, and different people like to take advantage of public spaces in different ways. With and without kids. With and without dogs. Also: poop happens! Who cares! That's why conscientious dog owners pick up after their…
"That people love their dogs so much is a sign of how alienated we are from other human beings in our culture."
I have no children, when people talk about their kids I will respond with talk about my pets for one of two reasons 1) I am trying to relate and since I don't have kids dog talk is all I got 2)revenge, bore me with endless stories about your kids and I will bore you with endless stories about my pets.
I was with you until Godwin. [posts picture of Hitler lovingly gazing at baby]
Yeah, I love dogs and I love kids, but I'm not buying the Dog Owners Versus Parents angle of this story. West Hollywood is apparently spending a bajillion dollars on one huge central park with a library, tennis courts, two rooftop swimming pools, a landscaped rooftop "respite deck," and three different parks, and the…
You can't leave a child alone whilst you go off to work, that's what swung having a dog for me.
What do you call yourself in relation to your dog? "Owner" is so cold. I like being a dog mom. My dog isn't my kid though, she's my fucking dog.
Look, I'm fine keeping my dog out of kid parks. But keep your kids out of dog parks if they aren't old enough to be there. I have had several - probably five or so - clueless parents who bring their toddlers to the dog park, set them down in the middle of rampaging packs of playful pups, and allow the kids to get…
Kids poop without regard or control until they are old enough and trained otherwise, they eat pre-made food out of cans and jars, they don't know they shouldn't run in front of cars, they respond well to positive reinforcement, and they are crated when they are bad or the parent needs to get something done, except in…
I'm quite happy with it the way it is, myself. Not calling attention to the attitude will just allow it to continue to spread unchecked and unopposed. If we don't call them out on it, then we just make it that much easier for them to spread their vileness.
I think this again highlights what another post from last week was saying about how people just do not understand depression. He was not a 'coward', he was being crushed under a weight so heavy no one can even imagine it unless you have the misfortune to live through it. He couldn't go on anymore despite his fame,…
I really wish you could unpost this. I get that people are shitty and say shitty things and it's click-worthy, if not news-worthy, to report on it. However, I just wish that all the shitty responses that people posted self-righteously about suicide being the "cowards" way out didn't garner ANY attention...least of all…
And now we have this:
He wasn't buttering up old billionaire widows. He was representing women in DV cases who likely aren't wealth. Protection from danger should not be contingent upon sex. That is the very definition of sexual coercion.
Not that I believe for a second that you're not trolling, but... "dating your lawyer" is not a thing in this context. These women (some of them abuse victims) are filing charges for unwanted sexual advances, not "he asked me out and I didn't want to go". He's a fucking predator and he needs to be disbarred.
Remember, something doesn't really act as a disorder until it causes someone some kind of distress or dysfunction. In my case, being trans wasn't really particularly distressing until later. I would have not qualified as having a condition until now, where I experience distress due to having to not only confront more…
