I love living in Chicago (my Scots-Irish family has lived here basically since coming to the US four, five generations ago) but I will admit that there is a lot of not talking about problems. A friend of mind just had a cancer scare and it got me and several other women finally talking publicly about our own…

I like yours better than the "Sarcmark":

It didn't read as "dry humor" or even "sarcasm" (frankly, part of the reason I love the /s or /sarcasm habit so much is that tone is nigh unto impossible to read on the internet). It came off like you were attacking her at once for being privileged enough to be able to make the meat/no meat choice AND for not living…

I'm honestly ecstatic to find out I was wrong about the spay and neuter shelters, thank you for correcting me. I'll admit that it's been long enough since I actually went and consumed any information from PETA directly that my information has proven to be out of date.

I think I may use that as a "nope" to bad pick up lines from now on.

I totally agree with you, but I was trying to address the points you made about "not getting worked up".

Nathan says: "I'm brilliantly-arsed, thank you very much."

I understand that there's no way for every needy animal to find a home. I get it. I rescued my dog, I foster other dogs, and I'd take in cats if I wasn't violently allergic. Every dog my family has ever had, bar one, has been a rescue dog. My cousin fixed her dog the second he was old enough. I asked my family to…

Well, any time you need a gif to help you with that, let me know. I've got way too many to count, and I totally agree.

The theoretical and unscientific idea that evolution will move a group of animals to an "ideal", I suspect. I didn't ask.

They're chasing a butterfly, just for you!

I didn't laugh, but I did make the point that while domestication does certainly change animals, what really damages individuals and breeding lines is largely not an issue in ethical farming (not factory farms).

Wow, really? CurleCat said "Reducing harm...is a positive thing". Not "if you don't reduce your harm now you're a terrible person" or even "you must agree with the way I reduce harm!" In fact, it's the very thing this thread is all about: not imposing your own choices and beliefs on others. Back up and fuck off.

Go listen to/read some of what Anthony Bourdain says about vegetarianism. His ideology revolves around the "Granny Rule" (or something like that). If you are a diet restricted (for anything other than health reasons, obviously) in social situations, you should be polite to your hosts by eating what they eat. I'm…

AND ANOTHER. CUTE ANIMAL GIFS FOR ALL.

I feel like we've done this before, somehow. There can't be more than two Jezzies with this many Misfits gifs saved.
