Simplest answer is: if you are a vegan, do not own a cat. They are obligate carnivores. There is no healthy and humane way around the fact they need to process meat to be healthy. Don’t own a cat if you are vegan and don’t want to feed your pet other animals. If you don’t want to rehome your cat, you will need to live with the fact that you will need to sacrifice another living mammal in order to feed your pet.

Owning a pet while vegan is already kind of hypocritical…

I never heard of Gene Tierney, I’ll look at your links. I can’t imagine what it was like for them to know that an ignorant fan caused their child to have such difficulties for the rest of their life. I got MMR booster a couple months ago and my husband is currently getting bloodwork done to see what his titre levels are too. There’s been a concerning uptick of cases where we live and the MMR booster is in shorter supply now so our doctor doesn’t want to give them out unnecessarily if he doesn’t need them.

Thank you very much for your well wishes, it was nice reading a kind comment (even if I am 2 months late).

I’m sorry I didn’t mean to sound argumentative. You are making a lot of good points. If I’m understanding you’re saying that people who have a higher risk for drug addiction could suffer from addiction after being exposed to it in a completely legal and legitimate setting (example dentist pulled your teeth and you got prescribed codeine, you liked how it numbed your emotional state, and now you want to use it to cope with your other non-related mental issues)?

That’s a really cute photo

I wish they cared this much about the people suffering in Sudan right now… Where’s the mass protests for those people…

Long fingernails digging inside a vaginal canal are not the same thing as a woman letting her genital hair grow to its natural length… one will cause pain and bleeding and possible infections. Other is maybe you’ll get it in your mouth sometimes…

This is amazing! I hope the research keeps going.

Thanks for taking the time to do that for us

I somehow knew you’d pull the “you’re a dog racist!” card. Hopefully your dogs never encounter a poorly controlled pittie. It’s a really horrible sight to see what they’re capable of.

You seem like one of those people who own pit bull types just to act self righteous about it. They are dangerous animals (and it’s our fault as humans for breeding that into them), there is more to them than just being “bull headed”.

So now this guy has to spend his time and money training his neighbours dog? How is that a solution. It’s not his dog. Also if the owners aren’t training the dog, training by anyone else won’t stick. It has to be consistent with everyone who is living with the dog.

You’re thinking of Staffordshire bull Terriers. American pit bulls can get to 70lbs. That’s nothing to sneeze at. Pit bulls are strong, tough dogs. They can pull the bumpers off of cars like it’s paper. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t the size of a Great Dane, one of even 45 lbs would have no issue getting through chicken wire and killing his birds. The fact his neighbours are letting the dog wander around unsupervised also likely means they aren’t going to bother training the dog properly, which is dangerous with any breed but especially one as strong as the pit bull types. This is a recipe for someone getting their face chewed off.

Judging by what you’ve written in comments about your neighbours, don’t talk to them. Call bylaw. It might take a couple times. If you approach them now and ask them to keep their dog leashed and they don’t listen, and THEN call bylaw, they will know it was you and possibly start targeting you for harassment because they know it was you who “rattled” on them. I’ve seen this happen. It’s not worth the drama and headache. This is sort of what bylaw is for. So neighbours aren’t at each other’s throats.

Doing street drugs or abusing prescription drugs is completely different from being put under anesthesia or having a dentist numb your mouth. They’re two different animals.

I have sympathy for homeless people but I also realise they aren’t all good, harmless innocents (just like those who are lucky enough to have a home aren’t all good).

Some encampment activities were difficult to talk about — a disturbed camper throwing feces over the 97 Street bridge on unsuspecting passersby and cars.

Gangs are preying on vulnerable campers, setting up “taxation” tents like trolls under bridges, demanding payment for the use of safe consumption sites, or a chance to visit an agency to get free needles, or pick up a cheque

A 16-year-old girl was being sex-trafficked around the encampments. She was found in hospital with 75 per cent burns — under an alias.

They were sex trafficking a child, setting up wires to behead cyclists… those aren’t good people.

But yeah the solution isn’t to shuffle them into prison. They need homes.

“It’s worth every dollar. These are human lives. By making this new investment, we are going to put individuals on a new trajectory in life,” he [the mayor] said, adding that city staff are hearing from other municipalities across Ontario and the rest of Canada, as many grapple with how to deal with homelessness.

There is a security hub, washrooms and showers separate from the units, and a service room. One of the 50 units has a toaster, toaster oven and microwave. Laundry is done off site. An indoor community space, which will include a kitchenette and laundry facilities, is not open yet.

Each unit, which costs $21,150 to build, comes with a bed, bedding, mini fridge, smoke alarm, personal heater, air conditioning unit, and storage space. The units are side by side, with a door at the front and a window at the back.

The Blob (80s version), The Thing, and House. The first two still hold up really well but the third one I rewatched as an adult and it was so stupid I was embarrassed I had been so terrified of it as a little kid.

How is it different? He profited from it, did he not? Shouldn’t you feel bad or guilty for watching movies he got money from producing or having his name/company attached to, by your own logic?

Sounds like with that one specific incident it was that chick being shitty at her job. I’m a female and have had female mental health providers treat me like garbage too. It’s not a woman vs man thing. Some people are just shit humans regardless of their sex.

Whatever you tell yourself to help cope with your own anxiety about drowning I guess… I nearly drowned and I can tell you it was not euphoric breathing in water.
