How many humans to pet snakes kill in a year?

But you have nothing to say about OP taunting people in the post.

Breeds don’t need and aren’t identified by DNA.

You are not the only person on the Internet. Just because you are no longer interested doesn’t mean this isn’t a valuable contribution. Go do something nice for someone, you owe us for being a dick.

If anyone is surprised by PayPal’s conduct, they shouldn’t be.

I gave up my car. I bus to clients. In our professions, we had that option. Other people in other professions and other localities don’t. My partner has to be able to transport vulnerable individuals like foster children with trauma as part of their career. Obviously we could design things in such a way that there are other options, but we haven’t. Sometimes people can fill in or work around those gaps. Some times, it is not possible, for example with my partner. Fuck off now, you’re just being deliberately obtuse.

Yes, actually, it is. Sometimes, for some people with some perfectly ordinary ambitions, those are the only two options. It is absolutely binary.

Uber and busses are not solutions for people who need to move their clients around, for example. Even if it were remotely practical to attempt it, even if it were safe for their clients, it’s simply not permitted.

If you’ve never run into a situation where you had to give things up because you don’t have a car, that’s extremely fortunate. To claim no one ever does is wildly delusional.

This is what I do. It is not a universal solution. You are sugar coating your answer by leaving out the final option that makes it universal: give up.

My partner wants to be a social worker. They are quite talented in their profession and help a lot of people. They are not a good driver and it would be better for everyone if they did not have to drive. However, you cannot do the work they do unless you own a car, have a valid license, and are willing to drive around. The choice offered to them is: drive poorly, or give up your life’s ambition.

@AllNewTypeFace is exactly correct that there is a problem where we have structured society such that everyone is expected to drive, and your comment does not successfully refute that. The problem exists.

It’s not about the reality of defending yourself from tyranny with homicide. It’s about the psychological comfort that the warped fantasy brings.

Why should a full-time employer be permitted to pay an employee less than it costs to merely survive? It’s like you WANT to live in a culture where humans are exploited and thrown away when they break.

Edit: NVM, I see from the rest of the thread that you are not participating in good faith, and your responses will be blocked from reaching me.

Needlessly speciesist but it’s a good start

I don’t even have to click through to know that’s bullshit

Honestly, decent people are so rare, one cannot afford to be fussy about appearance. Fortunately, ethical compatibility is VERY attractive.

Appearance is never a sufficient factor on its own, but in my own case appearance, I wouldn’t consider it a disqualifying factor. Though me a few years ago wouldn’t have to try as hard, for sure…

It certainly sucked for those who did, but the majority didn’t have to worry about war.

It’s not like you knew; you were still fucking worried even if you were in the 9/10. Also, human beings don’t exist in isolation, and even if you didn’t get drafted, there was still a significant possibility that someone you loved (eg Elvis) got drafted.

And this is exactly why we can’t have affordable housing. All these boomers go from wealthy retirees to hungry tent dwellers like the rest of us.

politics, values, and kinks are way more important than appearance

So we agree one is preferable to the other

I’d also like to investigate how this jives with the well documented sexual attraction dynamics of siblings. Those who grow up together are almost never attracted to each other no matter how much they see each other naked. Those that are raised separately and meet for the first time as adults are often very attracted to each other due to genetic reasons that apparently we have a mechanism for overcoming when raised together. I would expect to find there was a similar mechanism regarding our parents.

Childish.
