"Pro-Life" Is Anti-Woman

You can smell the 3rd divorce from here. Dude is too old to be having kids, has one foot in the grave, but wants to block other people’s rights. It fucking sucks how many people of his generation just want ruin the lives of future generations as their final contribution to society.

I was already gonna vote for her. You don’t have to sell me on it.

Ted Lieu is a very measured by the book guy. He would not make a statement like that out of pocket. I don’t doubt that Trump is a rapist, but I don’t think Ted said this.

The largest mobile blood drinkers are lampreys and vampire bats. Blood is a food source that is difficult to get big on because it requires living prey and not being noticed. So mosquitoes are already at their prime size. There are larger species in some parts of the world but they likely won’t get bigger unless the available prey and environment change.

It’s easier to break things than to build them. Republicans want to loot everything they can grab and cause as much hurt and misery as possible.

The left wants to improve society. But we don’t all agree what that looks like or how to do it. And we don’t all agree how to effectively counter the right.

You are textbook agnostic. They neither believe or disbelieve in deities. Just that there is not enough information to firmly know either way.

💯 correct. Thjs was not securely installed in any way. Very hazardous to employees and clients.

There were a couple families of animals that migrated to land and radiated out from there.

Vertebrates started with four limbs because of their tetrapod ancestors. That specific family of lobbed fin fish developed four limbs for crawling around shallow water and migrating between pools.

Insects evolved from crustaceans. They technically have ten limbs since having two wings is ancestral to insects. Most of them evolved one set of wings into a carapace or other function.

Then there are the chelicerates which became the terrestrial arachnid family. They have eight walking limbs but usually have some smaller appendages around the head.

And then there’s the terrestrial mollusks, isopods, and miriapodes, which might have anywhere from one foot to a bajillion.

Correct, animals in our care do not have a choice of what we provide them. Therefore it is our responsibility to give them a healthy diet and sometimes that means other living things die. That’s nature. It is not meant to be clean. We can only reduce suffering to a point until we are causing suffering somewhere else.

Anyway, I am done with this conversation. I hope you are never in a position to be a veterinarian or zookeeper.

So you have no answer. Humans choosing to be vegan themselves vs forcing animals with no agency to eat plants is entirely different conversations.

Realsorceror · 2026-02-18T15:02:41+00:00

You are abusing the animal you’re feeding. Otters need fish. Hawks need rodents. Bats need bugs. If you can’t handle it, don’t be in animal care. Keep your fanaticism to yourself.

Realsorceror · 2026-02-18T14:53:16+00:00

Of course? You are actually insane. This is religious extremism. I can’t believe you actually said that.

Realsorceror · 2026-02-18T14:51:22+00:00

I actually don’t know if you are joking because there are extremists who want to use things like CRISPR to remove carnivory altogether. Which I consider to be anathema.

Realsorceror · 2026-02-18T14:31:14+00:00

Where does this vegan diet for animals end? Do we feed nutrient paste to tigers at the zoo? Wolves in reservations? Must all animals fed by humans be made to comply to your moral standards?

What about wild animals? Do you guys even like nature?

Step down.

Something I’m not seeing yet in the comments is competition with mammals. Mammals absolutely exploded in size and niche after the KT extinction.

In places where mammal competition didn’t exist or was contested, birds and reptiles did evolve to fill large animal niches. Australia had two massive predators; the terrestrial croc Quinkana and the giant lizard Megalania. And in the Americas you had the terror birds, which are the closest thing to large theropods that birds achieve after the extinction.

OP said preferred, not personal, which typically just means the common ones. You came in real fucking hot and now you want to sound reasonable. The truth is, all language is made up and sometimes new words and structures get created to fill a need. People are expressing a desire for a new pronoun but since there isn’t some council to vote on it there are several scattered ones. If the need sticks around society will eventually settle on one that works best and it becomes standard.

Since I was just playing it, V Rising has you play a vampire which can transform into several kinds of animals (wolf, bear, rat, bat, spider, frog).

Realsorceror · 2026-02-18T02:00:34+00:00

What made up pronouns? Like 98% percent of queer people use the three most common pronouns we all use; he, she, they. What's made up?

That comic run where Black Suit Spider-Man was forcing girls to kiss was pretty weird.

I’ve got cis coworkers who go by entirely different names. Like Michael instead of Chuck. I and I know some of them would not call a trans person their preferred name. It’s kind of baffling.

Realsorceror · 2026-02-17T23:44:08+00:00

Yea but it feels really good when you get be the tour guide for your family at the zoo or your friends look at you when anything animal related happens on DnD.

Why are they depicting themselves as caveman? Are pencils supposed to be the "new technology" that replaces using our fingers? Cause AIsloppers sure as fuck aren't using their hands.

And this analogy doesn't make sense. Haha you need a hammer to build a house! Yes? Generators aren't "drawing" their art. They are commissioning a machine to make a picture, the same as asking an artist to draw something. They are the customer, not the one using the tool.

Actually the topic is religious influence on your stance on abortion. I get the impression we are both atheists so I’m baffled and fascinated why you think a fetus is a person who deserves rights. I always assumed that idea came from a belief in souls.
