"Let's trigger some bitches."

Well, according to the article the previous winners of this honor include OMG and YOLO, so winning this means jack shit. OMG, I will still say I am a feminist and do feminist things, because YOLO.

She probably even knows how to drive a car!

Seriously, people, enough with the Susan B Anthony ticker tape parades already. It's like every weekend all over the TV.

Can we ban 4Chan instead?

She's just one of those girls who "always got along at lot better with guys..."

Friendly reminder that the US edition of Time Magazine sees its readers as idiots and is terrified of covering any issue of substance:

She's got a point, though. I'm so tired of the commercialism of Susan B. Anthony day, and all the tributes to female presidents in January, and the traditional Equal Pay bonus on February 14.

She's being edgy and transgressive by sucking up to entitled dudes.

Lana Del Rey. For her appropriation of Native American and Latino cultures.

Newsflash: sometimes pet medical issues can be sudden, unpredictable, and insanely expensive. Shit happens and you have to make hard choices. Like for instance, when you take your 12 year old dog into the vet and suddenly discover she has bone cancer, the treatment will require amputating one of her legs and doing

You should look into surgically removing the silver spoon that's lodged up your ass. You're an idiot.

I worked (for a short time) in an emergency vet clinic and shadowed my supervisor while walking pet owners through the paperwork prior to euthanization. There are so many people of average-or-less means who make their pets' lives very happy while they are around, will go to great lengths and pull every social

The problem is, by that measure, very few homes in this country can actually sustain a pet. The vast majority of households don't have thousands in savings to pay for their own unexpected medical bills, let alone their pets'. So, you're suggesting we cut the number of households who can/should help save shelter

Exactly. I'm kind of sick of people assuming that every owner surrender at the animal control center is the result of an asshat who "didn't think through" the expenses of having a pet. There are plenty of owner surrenders that are devastating but last resort - like, for instance, when the elderly owner has died and

I just don't think it's as simple as that. Millions of dogs and cats (and rabbits and horses and others) enter the shelter system every year; should they only be adopted out to families with "up to thousands if not tens of thousands" of dollars in reserve? Should a prospective adopter pass by an animal on the

you think pet owners should have tens of thousands saved up for their animals' health problems? Really? Gobsmacking. Pets only for the rich, says this person.

Too many people have to [put down their pets] watch their family members die because they cannot afford to pay the medical whatever. If you cannot afford to have a [pet] human relative, you shouldn't have one. . . . If you can't afford the medical bills, which could be up to thousands if not tens of thousands, you

Of course, that would result in most pets never being adopted in the first place, and a whole lot of younger and healthier animals getting euthanized as a result.

From my point of view - better that I adopted my cat from the county shelter and gave him several years of a happy and healthy life. If I can't afford
