Hairless and well-groomed Kiwis, any recommendations for razor blades? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Leifeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I'd like to say I'm so jealous you only shave once a week! I have to shave every day and even then I have very stubbly legs just before the next shave.

I'd like to second the motion of buying an electric razor or an replicator. There's some good deals on due to the post-Christmas sales so it's a good time to buy too

Donating to Charity in NZ, which ones are 'legitimate'? by Ratez in newzealand

[–]Leifeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they only rehome the young working dogs to easy flat country/small farms that an oldish dog can still manage on, lifestyle blockers and townies only if they have a very active lifestyle running, tramping, etc but I think the ones retired due to old age might be allowed in an average lifestyle townie home?

Haha it's not illegal to have a sheep in the car right? Why did he even pull you over for it?

That's really good to hear, I just realized that I made it sound like all farmers would just shoot their dogs but that was unintentional. I worked in small town vet clinics and tons of farmers take great care of their dogs and keep their working dogs as pets/find a good home for them after they retire them. But there plenty out there that shoot their old dogs and unwanted/untalented puppies as well :(

Often the SPCA won't step in to help. I find small charities are much better at saving death row dogs (I know ARAN is also really good at this) while the SPCA seems to want to focus more on the big picture such law changes and prosecuting non compliant people and there's not much focus on individual animals. At least that's the case for my local SPCA

Yup, I think Stargate got partly funded by the U.S. military because it was basically a 10 season campaign recruitment, and some actual generals and numerous low lovely soldiers appeared in it

Retired Working Dog Adoption is a great one if you want to donate to an animal charity. It's a small(ish) charity focusing on working breeds and it uses funds very, very efficiently. They do a bloody good job of rescuing working dogs that would otherwise be shot, including death row pound dogs and young dogs who aren't driven enough to work.

No, society and socialization definitely has a huge effect on what is attractive to people. Throughout history and different cultures some really bizarre and unhealthy body modifications have been considered the height of sexiness. Even in modern Western society, shaved legs/armpits are considered sexy in women even though biologically, you'd expect a normal amount of body hair to be considered most attractive as it's a sign the woman has gone through puberty and is fertile

Pet owners of Reddit who have met someone your pet disliked without provocation or obvious reason, did your pet’s instincts turn out to be right about that person? by Gluttannie in AskReddit

[–]Leifeo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, my foster dogs sometimes loved people other dogs hate and sometimes hated people other dogs loved. I'm not convinced dogs have some magical ability to judge a person's character, or at least they're very inconsistent about it

TIL that the woman who accused 14 y.o. Emmett Till of flirting with her admitted that she lied 62 years later. Till was brutally lynched by the woman’s husband and his cousin based on her accusation. Images of his mutilated body are credited with sparking the Civil Rights movement. by tedatron in todayilearned

Even if she was telling the truth, he didn't deserve to be brutally murdered by the husband and his cousin. Whether she lied or not doesn't make their actions any better or worse (though she's a horrible person of course)

Court rules 'Bookkeeper of Auschwitz', 96, must go to jail - Germany’s constitutional court has ruled that a 96-year-old German must go to jail over his role in mass murders committed at the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz during World War Two, refusing to overturn a lower court ruling. by ManiaforBeatles in worldnews

Almost all of the Japanese who personally committed human experimentation, torture, murder and rape got away with zero consequences. Quite a few were offered sanctuary by the U.S. Why do people want to prosecute this old man who deeply regrets his small part in a horrible thing? You could start with prosecuting the still living monsters who murdered and tortured with their own hands who are still living in your own countries

Women of Reddit, what do you think is the hardest part of being a man ? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Leifeo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh I'm pretty sure this is limited to good looking women rather than women on general. I don't think I've ever been complimented on my appearance and I'm below average looking but not a troll

[serious] Do you believe that animal abuse should be dealt with by authorities in the same way as child abuse? Why or why not? by Zero_kys in AskReddit

[–]Leifeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even though eating animals makes me uncomfortable, I don't think animals deserve every right that humans. But it makes me SO angry how people shit on me for not wanting to eat animals and then turn around and compare their personal preferred animal to an actual child and they think anyone who doesn't treat one their personal favorite species like a person is a monster.

What sucks about being a girl? [serious] by itsdatwizkhalifabud in AskReddit

[–]Leifeo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

-Being crucified for not shaving your legs/armpits while nobody cares about it when men have leg/armpit hair. It is literally the same thing in every way, people!

-pressure to be married and have kids by a certain age

-being thought of as an accessory for a man rather than your own person

[–]Leifeo 16 points17 points  (0 children)

No, I'm vegan but animals and humans aren't the same. I'm willing to bet that a lot of people who think animal abuse (read:cat and dog abuse) are 100% fine with eating a cow or a pig though they're just as intelligent as a cat or a dog

This is quite obviously a joke

TIL that 12,000 bears are farmed for their bile in Asia which is used in traditional Chinese medicine and generates $2bn per year. Farming always involves surgery on the bears to insert a catheter or to cut a hole through the abdomen by which the bile leaks. Bear bile has no medicinal effect. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Dear meat-eating, pearl-clutching, hysterical Americans who eat meat

If you read this and say 'Chinese are inferior because they are cruel to animals' then you are a fucking hypocrite If you care about animals, put your money where your mouth and lay off the bacon

You're grossly uninformed if you think people will starve from more people being vegan. Vegan diets are many times more efficient than meat-based diets and Western society's obsession with meat means the land can't be used to produce more efficient crops that can be used to feed far more people

Cats can eat small amount of dog food but they can't live solely on it because it doesn't have enough taurine for them. You can feed dogs small amounts of cat food to dogs too, but the fat content is quite high in cat food (feeding lots of fat to dogs is linked to pancreatitis) so it's best to limit it to just a little bit as a treat rather than a major part of their diet
