I can't understand how people get past the odor. Mealworms and crickets smell gross to me. Kinda musty. But no one else I've mentioned it to smells them at all.

That’s fine...I’m not intending it as some kind of gotcha moment, I’m genuinely interested in how folks justify or internalize messages when it comes to spanking. I was spanked a few times and while I am antispanking, I dont feel like I was harmed by it and I had a strong relationship with my parents. My brothers were…
I mean...you, as an adult, have internalized the idea that there are times you deserved to have another person put their hands on you for the purpose of inflicting pain. That doesn't really meet my definition of having come through the experience "all right."
My rdr2 experience so far...
One of the main reasons I don’t want kids is the whole touching issue. I’ve got a personal space bubble a mile wide and just the thought of little hands grabbing at me makes me want to scream. I honestly dont think i could handle breast feeding. But even without that factor...kids are just so touchy, ya know? All that…
There’s a commercial for Alexa that airs every two minutes on Hulu right now that acts like a father looking after his own kid is some heart warming act worthy of high praise. Though the part that really boggles the mind is that the wife apparently arranged a playdate for an infant.
...what?
If that’s your separation between justice and vengeance, then my proposal falls entirely on the justice side. It’s impartial. The feelings of the victims are irrelevant. It’s not based on emotion or desire to punish...the only concern is safety.
In Federal prison I believe it’s more then half. But no, I don’t think it’s something we could do or should do starting, say, tomorrow. Our prison system is such a mess that it wouldn’t be possible in any kind of halfway humane manner. I’m speaking more of a hypothetical ideal if we could somehow start fresh. I’d…
See, I don’t even really disagree, though I have yet to hear a clear, objective difference between vengeance and justice from those who argue that there is one. But there is much room for debate in what amounts to a proportional sentence. I would argue that violent offenders will ALWAYS remain a risk to society. That…
Honestly, I think we should keep violent offenders in jail. Their right to a second chance shouldnt override everyone else's right to safety
Completely random story, but my cat had terrible ulcers when he was first rescued. One eye had to be removed immediately. The 2nd eventually healed to the point he had some light perception. Then he got an ear infection that caused enough swelling to paralyze the facial nerves, removing his ability to blink and…
We become hypocrites because we know our ideals are not only wrong but dangerous. All kids are redeemable is a greeting card statement, not a reflection of reality.
My oldest cat is on palliative care for cancer and is down to nine pounds. It makes my heart hurt and my stomach twist to pet her, she’s so damn skinny. I can’t imagine a parent-a parent!- picking up a ten pound 2 old year and just going about their life like that’s okay. As in I sincerely can’t wrap my head around…
That is by no means a fact. To be a fact it would have to be tested and proven, and I assure you it hasn’t been tested
My father pointed out that crystal foxes probably aren’t fun to pet.
My oldest cat just turned 18 and is starting to have urgency issues. Some of my family don’t understand why I’m so happy that she’s agreed to pee on my clothes. It means I can set up a little litter box right next to my bed with just an old tshirt in it. Ideal, no, but it sure bets constantly changing my sheets.
My mother has Alzheimer’s and I’m her full time caregiver. You are simply wrong. Alzheimer’s does not simply remove inhibitions. It fundamentally alters a person’s personality.
I’ve assisted in plenty of abscess treatments and this is simply untrue
The victim of a crime isn’t the only one who gets to judge the perpetrator. My uncle raped a woman; I don’t know if she forgive him or not. I definitely don’t and never will. That’s a separate issue from punishment.
