Well said.

Who would downvote this lol? No kids, but also fully am tired of the us vs them mentality with cf versus childed. In today’s world there is usually a much greater sacrifice to have kids and to be able to afford or have a community to have date nights and such, but having children is still an adventure that many parents enjoy. You probably hear a lot from the complainers, though. Similar to married guys who sigh and call their wives the old woman… the happily married are silent af usually.

It’s often fixable if caught soon enough. Basically the affected creature gets ripped a new asshole under anasthesia.

Gotcha. I was vegetarian for many years, so I get it. Cooking chicken actually smelled like heated roadkill to me, I had to leave the room.

I felt healthier without eating meat, actually. Now that I am back to eating meat, I respect where it comes from and intend to use every part of my harvests (having a dog helps too). I believe I owe it to the animal to acknowledge where what is on my plate comes from and to be as humane as possible.

Sounds like you’re cooking it wrong. It feels disrespectful, but a lot of the people criticizing this probably rub their hands together and say, “yummy!” when they pull a burger out of a bag without thinking of the calf/cow it once was.

This is actually changing. Historically, folks usually moved more right as they aged, but that is shifting as folks agr now. Times are different, tons of people who did everything right can’t even afford a house now.

Sure! There are the cattle I mentioned in my post which are genetically distinct (if a bit inbred now after generations on the island), a story of a domestic cow escaping in Poland to live in the Bialowieza Forest among wild bison, the feral cattle in Australia which are descendants of domesticated herds, Chirikof island cattle in Alaska which live on only grass, etc. There may be some good videos online which also cover the topic. I do believe a lot of successful feral cattle likely come from beef lines, however. I don’t see dairy cattle being quite so successful considering how extremely we’ve bred them, but I could be wrong.

Fair point. Even in this case that could be true, but the added context made me fill in the blanks to believe the disappointment was more about him not being able to pass certain things on since he believed in traditional gender roles.

There are pockets of feral cattle in the world, including on Swona in Scotland, Australia, etc. So cows dont necessarily need us to survive, but we have bred things like dairy cows to such extremes that I doubt they would fare well. I do think it’s debatable that dairy cows are treated well, I think it unfortunately depends a lot on which farmer they end up with and how they view livestock livelihood.

Why does the husband have a hand with 5 fingers for only the first panel and then everyone else has mits for hands? Lol.

I had a very Christian coworker who already had a daughter and who was part of the maga pipeline. He didn’t hide his disappointment when he told me the gender of he and his wife’s next child had been revealed as another girl. Sent a shudder up my spine how he paused and said it in a sad tone, the way you would if you were a teenager expecting a Mustang for your birthday and instead having your parents roll up in a Saturn for you. What kind of world do we live in where folks are disappointed that their next kid will be female? It’s dumb society has been crafted this way, stupid af.

Am I the only one who preferred the “skinnier” style of controller like the old GameCube or even N64 controllers? I loved that grip control, now it feels like we’ve been either trending towards bloated controllers like this one that suck for people with smaller hands or those tiny little joycons that hurt to use long term.

I am not the person you responded to. I just wanted to say that I stopped and thought, “wow, that stuff probably DOESNT decompose, huh?” as I scrolled. Thoughts of misogyny or wondering how old the poster must have been never crossed my mind, so I was surprised to see some of these comments. I guess it’s nice it’s such a talking point.

Im glad you posted a detailed response on why you posted it either way, just in case anyone else was curious.

Hate the early darkness because it marks the end of my garden and the beginning of muddy paws and shoes needing to be cleaned before entering the house, but otherwise winter is beautiful.
