The biggest sign would be buoyancy issues because of the compression of the swim bladder (tilting, floating, sinking, etc). Constipation is normally the first culprit there!

But then you get kids like me who would fill in the blanks with 1) a pet bison I can ride to school, 2) a pet iguana 3) a scuba suit with all the equipment, 4) a massive table top book of nature photography
I was a weird kid, granted, but I can't imagine letting list structure standing in my way.

Hence the willingly in my statement.
Reduction of poverty might take some poachers out of the game, but as long as there is a robust demand, there will be people willing to meet it for profit.

Agreed. I feel actual guilt swatting mosquitos (they're just doing what they've gotta do!) and I feel fairly confident that I would sleep soundly following the eradication of anyone willingly in the ivory supply and demand chain.

On a good day around Christmas, lots of the stores in decent mall will be bringing in 30k+ in a day. American Eagle is principally aimed at the younger set, so it's not surprising that a sizable chunk of the transactions would be cash. The store I worked at was mostly credit cards and debit transactions, and we'd…

Oh man! I 900% forgot that he was on the OC!

This. So much this.

That makes sense that it's a US thing - you definitely can't sell Champagne in Canada that isn't actually form the proper region of France and it's the same with the Kobe thing, so I was baffled too. Thanks for the info!

Wait, you're eating poutine with your hands? whyyyyyyyyyyyyyygross
I've never seen someone not use a fork.

Mine won't let me get the sample thing if I also take the 20% off :(

I'm sorry some people took offense to your comment - it's a fair question! We get all the "brand name" shows (though on different networks, SVU is on CTV here), but some of the sitcoms and niche stuff get the axe to make room for can con.

Yeah, that was immediately what I thought when I read the emotional distress part. I'm not sure why people jumped to the conclusion that the distress is having a mixed race baby. I assume that the distress is caused by the unexpected steps she is now having to undertake to make sure that her daughter is safely and…

Quickening is generally understood as the first time a mother can feel the fetus move independently. It's a pretty archaic term - no shame in not knowing it!

Except pro-choicers aren't the ones trying to re-define human life, the anti-abortion crowd is. Historically, the general belief (and Christian teaching) has been that fetuses don't count (or get souls) until quickening, and thus abortion before that point was more or less okay. The idea of "a person from conception"…

Autocorrect (or auto-cucumber, as my phone sees it), yo.

Yeah, I'm in Canada and people still say Cherokee...

This is totally true, but I do think it's important to add that breeding for some specific traits is WAY more likely to come with a host of issues than breeding for others (i.e. breeding for a long narrow face vs. a smooshed up one). Extreme miniature size is one of the most dangerous traits to pursue, and this dog…

For some reason Kinja isn't letting me see other greys, so I apologize if this has already been said: that dancer is awesome for understanding that the snake was just being a snake. I was expecting to hear some breathless rehashing of a horrible monster attack, and it's so nice that she was so calm and reasonable…

For real. I'm not super skinny anymore, but even now as a slender side of average person, their stuff is always too big.

Sounds like he's a savannah cat! They're a hybrid.
