Online journalists can’t use burner accounts because social media engagement is usually part of their key performance indicators. If they have to keep discarding accounts and starting new ones it will definitely have negative long term effects on their career.

Whenever someone complains that an action doesn’t change things immediately I always wonder what they expect. When has anything ever changed successfully overnight? Sure, it would be great if there was an action we could take that would instantly solve sexism, but frankly that idea is pure fantasy. Complaints about…

I think they actually already did this a couple years ago

31 pounds is as much as my overweight Whippet.

Where I live there are a lot of problems with taxi drivers renting their licenses out under the table, so the person driving the cab isn’t necessarily the one with the long term investment.

Yeah, my friend used to work in sex offender rehabilitation and a disturbingly high proportion of her clients were taxi or uber drivers, but it didn’t seem like one was more represented than the other.

It was Woman’s Day, and she won because there was explicit proof they knew she never actually lied. And I’m comfortable with her suing them even for something so dumb because they’ve been shamelessly making shit up for years.

I think it annoys me so much because he’s imposing human neurosis onto animals. Misery and to a lesser extent suffering are existential human feelings and for the most part I don’t think wild animals experience their lives in that way, because for them it’s just the way things are.

I must be getting intolerant because this made me hate him a little bit

I’m not sure what it says about me that this octopus made me feel immensely patriotic unlike anything humans have done in this country 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

I don’t think people can really understand until they’ve experienced it.

Also an Aussie, I use one of these + rashvest + hat + towel over my legs + zinc-based sunscreen and I still have about a 25% chance of being burned. Our sun is murderous.

Google says since Selena was 13 and Taylor was 16.

Yeah, so confusing. Selena is one of the few people I assume is Taylor’s friend and not just a goodlooking prop for Instagram.

Right. It’s hard to accurately gauge my dog’s age because it is clear she’s had a pretty rough life, but she’s ostensibly only a year older than her adopted brother and there is just no comparison. In human terms he seems like a 40 year old and she seems like an 80 year old. Maybe the shelter was telling the truth…

They’re the best. My dog is currently napping with his paw on my thigh. I feel so loved.

People also make a lot of suggestions to you about what caused your dog’s problems, including vets and trainers, so it’s also possible she’s just run with that.

I think it’s that, sometimes, as the dog gets more comfortable bad behaviour they’d been repressing out of fear can manifest. I’ve seen it in smaller ways in my dogs, thankfully nothing unmanageable. A lot of dogs just shut down at the shelter.

Exactly. I didn’t see the guy’s comments to be a blanket warning against rescue dogs, he was just saying that around six months is when problems often set in, if they’re going to. I think that’s probably true for all dogs, not just rescues.

I hate when people insist the owner must ALWAYS be at fault for bad dog behaviour because it turns dogs into a simple homogenous mass. The truth is, dogs, like people, have complex personalities and can react to the world in unexpected ways.
