The song was “I’m Clean Now” by Grouper, btw.

Totally agree. All reasons why that is the stance of virtually all humane societies and animal right organizations. I also want to add that leash training and catios are options to allow cats to safely enjoy the outdoors.

Further, if you are going to rescue any sort of wild animal, bring it to an authorized wildlife rehabilitator! In a lot of cases, if there’s any doubt, they will come out to the location the animal was found to ensure that it actually needs to be taken in. Most often it can be resolved by reuniting it with the mother…

TIL the national post is a reputable scientific journal. Who knew!

I don’t have the energy to get into an argument about the effects of anthropogenic climate change with you right now, which was never my intent. My point, which you seem to be missing, continues to be this: I have no reason to believe you. If you’re going to make statements about natural phenomena, please reference…

For this and other examples of how poorly-displayed data can be used to mislead, see:

... that doesn’t answer my question, at all. I’m wondering if there’s any rational basis for making the range of the y axis span from - 10 F to 110 F, other than the obvious desire to minimize the visibility of the warming trend. Even with such a poorly-designed graph, the warming trend is still very apparent - just…

What is the basis for making the y-axis so insanely huge, other than to make the trendline less visually apparent? Has the Earth’s annual global temperature ever reached 110 F or -10 F since multicellular life has existed, or... ever?

Are you genuinely confused about this? I’m a woman who is attracted to both women and men, and based on my friend group and personal experience I can confirm both lesbians and “women attracted to men” are also into “this” (regardless of whether you are referring to Alaska Thunderfuck, or Rupaul’s Drag Race, or just…

What the fuck right?? I happened to see the title literally as the episode was loading. Did not come as a surprise, but ugh!

Thank you! I majored in Biology and my mind was temporarily blown when I read the headline... then I read the statement and facepalmed, this is not a three parent baby.

Okay, this is not the weirdest shit *I’ve* seen, but.. the reverse? One time (just a couple years ago) I was wearing a very short new pair of denim shorts. I wanted to make sure my butt cheeks weren’t hanging out, and instead of checking in the mirror like a normal person, I held my phone behind me and took a weirdly…

I can’t help but have some sympathy for this guy, because my city (Victoria, BC) is going through a bit of a rental crisis, and I was unlucky enough to get caught in the middle of it. The people who bought the house I was a tenant in for 3 years ($475/month, all utilities included) decided to kick me out so they could…

About two months ago, I started feeding my 3 year old cat Xena raw food, on the recommendation of my health-obsessed raw vegan friend. (We don’t eat animals but we feed bloody ground-up raw meat to our cats -that’s love!) The transition was difficult but mostly successful - except that she now occasionally steals…

Ever since I first started getting pimples (14ish?) I’ve been obsessive about picking at them. Everyone in my family has some form of mild OCD, so that’s definitely the cause. I hate the habit so much - my acne is relatively mild, but I pick so much that I often look like an “after” photo of a meth addict on a…
