It's also cool that you as a human being can empathize with another species, but please remember, the animal, as much as you would like it to, does not have the complexity of thought that you have, and while yes, it is unfortunate that the animal was injured, and stressed, that bobcat does not process stress and…

Unfortunately, I used to work in wildlife rehabiliation and you'd be amazed how active a VERY injured animal can be.

I was trying to be 'cool' while watching this video "these guys are hunting, and hunting is fine when it's done properly and you eat what you kill, and you inevitably will catch something you don't mean to, I'm cool with that, at least they're trying to release it, and I can't tell what the cat's injuries are from…

Aww man still haven't read that! Going to the kindle store right now :D

we realize that this is correlational data

Oh dear god - are those the ones about the sentient dragons forming alliances with their princess/sacrifices? I ADORED those little books and I had completely forgotten about them. Thanks for the reminder.

I want to like her because she's fantastic about her craft, but I just cannot watch her at all.

Tilda Swinton scares the shit out of me. She scares me so much she distracts me in every film she's in. I get a huge uncanny valley feel from her.

No worries - just be careful not to state something when you're basing your experience on Islington :)

THAT BASTARD TOLD ME I WAS THE ONLY MORTAL HE'D EVER LOVED!!!!!

What? No, Tesco is a MASSIVE supermarket retailer well known for opening in industrial estates and killing high streets. Not at all like Starbucks. In fact, of all the big UK retailers I'd say Tesco is the most like Walmart, as it also has extensive electronics, home, garden, saddlery, and on at least two within two…

Many years ago I was watching 'Grave of the Fireflies' at my friend's house and her oma laughed quietly to herself throughout the film. My friend and I had a bit of a 'woah' moment. We knew on an intellectual level that as a girl, her oma had to hide in the temples and pretend to be a boy to escape the Japanese, but…

I AM CHARLIE!!!!!!!

I reckon she probably doesn't 'hate' him, he's just not as interesting as her other unicorns so he's not given her high pitched squeaky voice - in fact, he might even be controlled by her dad or big brother.

My reading of Charlie is that he's the plain unicorn toy that a little girl doesn't like playing with (and later his horn breaks) so he gets cast in the Starscream role in all her games. It's Toy Story for those who don't realise they're toys.

Thanks for the link - that was a good story!

You're not - it's my dear hope that I end up with someone whom I never fantasise about killing. In fact, I'd rather stay single than end up with someone who I want to kill. I'm crazy like that.

I maintain that the original (and only, thank you very much) My Little Pony was a socialist feminist utopia.

That I am :)

I'm one of those lucky folks who [thinks she] can get away without wearing any makeup but the other day I had a sachet of BB cream given as a freebie. It's been in the UK for a few years and I know a lot of friends swear by it so I put it on.
