Yeah, the AKC Effect of breeding towards a standard has resulted in a set of narrow guides that have made every breed very narrow. A Great Pyrenees from two centuries ago look like like the mostly white examples we all associate with the breed now. German Shepherds (known as Alsatians to another chunk of the world)…

It’s an issue with all purebreeds: https://dogbehaviorscience.wordpress.com/2012/09/29/100…

Sad really. I blame the AKC. They are the ones who demand what dogs looks like. Look at German shepards for example. They are increasingly getting a slope towards their rear. Yes they’ve always had one, but it's getting more and more pronounced. The English bull terrier is another example. Just makes me sad.

I don’t disagree with your sentiment, but that is a false equivalency, friend.

I want to grab Taylor by the shoulders and MAKE HER STAND STRAIGHT.

Seriously. If we had to rely on my husband's income, we would need government assistance. Instead, we live quite comfortably, thankyouverymuch.

The most telling part of the whole week for me was Paul Manafort’s interview on MSNBC in which he said that women are concerned that their husbands can’t afford to pay the family bills. In 2016, this is why he said women will vote for Trump.

Obviously it’s in her hand, how else did she take the picture?

I think WBP is somewhat protected, since it’s a not-for-prophet organization.

If WBC keeps using Pokemon in their promotional material, would Nintendo have precedent to sue them for unauthorized use of their IP? Because that is a battle that I would love to watch go down.

pretty sure they meant “BAE” which is the term the youngs use for the person they put “Before Anyone Else”

I don’t have kids and never will, but I started taking personally the “children being kidnapped/threatened/killed” plot devices on standard procedural shows after my niece was born.

I don’t think it’s insulting at all, and it is more tragic. They barely got a chance to live their lives before it was taken from them.

I work at a planned parenthood in Fl that’s located in a strip mall and it’s beautiful on the inside. Also, it’s location has nothing to do with the quality of care provided inside its walls.

I guess in lieu of making something people actually like, you can intentionally under-perform and call it really edgy satire. I know when I’m insecure about the results of my efforts, I sometimes self-sabotage them - for example, if I’m making a piece of functional furniture and I want it to turn out way better than I…

“No one is impressed by your dumb choreographed videos, OK Go.”

This is pretty much why my child will never be allowed to play in a house that has guns in it.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you your home is safer with a gun in it.
