@1ammyb0dy It's a controversial thing, but there are circumstances where it's better off going to a new home. If the animal is going to be neglected, it's probably better off being somewhere else where it will be loved and appreciated.
My sister had a chihuahua that shed had for like 15 years and rehomed it to a friend when she had kids, because the dog was snappy and would bite and she didn't want it biting the baby.
@william I can definitely write lyrics...I've got an ear for rhymes. It's a going joke on Spinster that Anung Ikwe is the Spinster archivist and I'm the Spinster lyricist. Always writing little poems and diddies lol. I have a poem pinned on my page here called "They called me a terf."
I can sing pretty well, but I'm nervous to perform publicly. I sing to myself a lot. I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to laying vocals on some of my tracks in the future if I ever get around to it.
@Piss_Ant@Doll People do all kinds of horrible stuff to animals for likes online, unfortunately. One of the reasons I hate the internet age.
There's a lot of them that starve their cats so they will ferociously consume unnatural foods that cats wouldn't normally eat, like corn on the cob, radishes, and cucumber while making "Om-nom-nom-nom-" sounds as they growl while chewing.
Idiots love those food ones in particular. Those are really popular on Facebook. "Oh it's so cute!" and all that. Just fueling the demand for more animal abuse. I have no faith in humanity...I don't trust many of the viral videos where cats are like jerking away with dilated eyes and screaming and are framed as cute and stuff. Cats have no concept of drama. I see right through that. I've been a cat owner for way too long to be fooled by the dupes.
@Doll@Piss_Ant Ugh...I hate videos like that. Someone is clearly pinching the cat to get it to jump and scream like that. In no way is that a normal reaction for any cat.
@tangleofsnakes@LisbonMuse I was about that age too when I was exposed to it...about 12 or 13. I remember hearing the term "blow job" from kids being thrown around at school and googled that at home...I found out real fast what it was.
"And now it’s common for kids to have smartphones and tablets…"
This is so true pretty much across the board and I am 100% against it. My sister got my nephew a smart phone for his 10th birthday and when I saw him open that up, my eyes grew so wide and my heart just sank.
If he was my son, there wouldn't even be a debate. There would be NO smart phone, period! And if anyone wanted to argue about needing one for emergencies, then get your damn kid a flip phone that doesn't have internet. Yes, they still sell them today. I don't know why that's so hard. It pisses me off so much. Really disagree with my sister on that choice.
@LisbonMuse@tangleofsnakes Totally...and the sexuality thing with young men...they grew up porn-soaked and have a really warped view of what sex and intimacy is. That's not to say older men can't be as well, but the younger boys never knew any different, having been born in the age of easily-accessible online porn.
They say the average age today that boys are exposed to porn is 7-12. That is so fucking young.
Before that, you had to be 18 and had to go in-person to a shop and buy a magazine or go to a seedy little shop with a little dark room in the back to view porn. But online porn today is everywhere and it's basically sex education for boys. And they see the horrible "gonzo porn" at such a young age...like the gang rape porn and the super violent stuff etc and they think that's what sex is. "Normal" sex without all the gimmicks and violence is shamed as "vanilla" these days. I.e. not exciting...boring.
Once a guy I was talking to on a dating app who was in his late 20s asked me if I like hand cuffs and to be choked...like are you fucking kidding me?? That was the end of that. Never date a porn user, ladies. They are fucked up beyond repair.
@tangleofsnakes I know 18 is technically an adult, but I can't help but seeing 18 year old males as children. I'm in my 30s now and when I was 31, I dated a guy who was 25 for a short while and he just seemed like a fucking child. I can't really explain it...it's just like the maturity level was so not there...even at 25. My god I can't imagine dating someone as young as 18...I just cannot relate to people that young at this age. Run far and fast...that kid would annoy the fuck out of you. Garanteed.
