There is so much darkness and pain in the world today, the least you could do is use a photo of the the melting Lincoln statue from the angle where it looks like he’s getting insane dome

100%. There are patterns to everything. Even listening to fox is useful if you also listen to the opposition and do independent research from an objective perspective. It allows you to see that each side is giving half of the picture from a biased perspective, then you can tweak the knobs.

I'm pretty convinced the "Jesus fed 5000 with five fishes" story was originally about how if everyone shares there's enough for everyone but at some point the church came along and said "no no, jesus did a magic trick"

That explains why the question "why" always makes people look at me like it's a dirty word. Chill fam I'm trying to understand.

I'm not sure if this is the teacher or the school, but I recently found out that it was unusual that To Kill a Mockingbird was required reading for me in middle school.

So you mean she decided to actually look into the bullshit she was spouting and found that it was, in fact, bullshit? It's amazing what a little critical thinking can do

I have a cat that leaves me alone at night but as soon as she hears me wake up she comes and gets in my arms under the covers. I've fallen for this trap many times. It's like she knows the rhythm of her purring puts me right back to sleep.

Not gonna lie, I'm surprised that conservatives care about animals at all considering where they lie on their priority list. They should be #1 but they're too busy being bigots to notice all the fur babies dying in the street.

Ours are going out of business at the moment. All that will be left will be discount stores, and they'll be the next to go.

Yup! It's super devious here because you'll find stuff at a place called "99 Cent Store" that's like $5 or whatever. But at Dollar Tree everything is actually a dollar so people get confused. It's because of the labeling. One is a "Discount Store" and the other is a "Dollar Store". It's silly.

I mean, in this capitalist system that we live in I'd find it pretty hard to believe that a store is making profit by selling EVERYTHING it has for $1 as well so I couldn't fault them too much. But at the same time IT'S EVERYWHERE in the store lmfao

When I worked at dollar tree I got in trouble multiple times for "sass" because the same customer would keep asking me how much something was until I pointed at the massive banner around the walls.

Well I just swapped vets. When I talk to them Monday I'll ask about the test. My last vet quoted my $400 to neuter a male cat and I said "LOL NOPE".

That's the reason they gave for them having to be sick to test them. If they're asymptomatic it makes it vastly more likely that the test will be inconclusive, a false positive, or a false negative, because of the virus being dormant.

Yeah I'm a little traumatized. We just had a cat go through surgery for Pyometra (because we didn't know that existed), and I think she had a reoccurrence of the FIV and ended up not being able to fight it, so we had to put her to sleep. She was on antibiotics and everything.

That's what's been baffling for me. We've been told it's incredibly rare, and I called and talked to about 10 vets/vet techs and they all said they couldn't test for it. Maybe it's different in Europe? Or maybe where I live is just garbage?

I was told by multiple vets that the cat has to be sick to do the test. And that the disease is so rare that most regular vets don't have the means to do the test.

They're fine now, but we're worried about getting them spayed/neutered because we don't want a re-occurrence since we have so many fosters. Id be much more comfortable if it was covid lol

How did you know it was FIV positive? I'm asking because my foster babies got sick and I've had conflicting diagnoses. Some said it's covid, others said it was FIV.

Tbh what I learned was that it was over long before citizens united. After FECA made PACs popular and BCRA and Buckley made them a necessity, they essentially kicked the boulder down the hill. Now dark money is virtually unstoppable.
