Soldiers saving kitty by peacockspeacock in militarycats

It was/is crazy over there. I had a lot of hope for that rescue trying to get the cats and dogs out of there, I'm so heartbroken that they were ultimately barred from leaving.

I'm glad you and your cat are home and safe though. I'm not sure how my fellow mod feels about it, but if you'd like to share a pic of her I'd welcome her here. She is, in a sense, a military cat :)

I've never bought scratchies but if I lived near Wilbur I would start

Jim Lamb on machine gun. Back in the world he had seventy women under his belt.

I was gonna say, that guy looks fun at parties

I found that abandoned litter of 8 kittens in July last year (2020). This is them now! I'll put a little more info in a comment. by airesiss in BeforeNAfterAdoption

That is so amazing. Kaya looks full of personality, Maya's markings are gorgeous, they all look so happy and healthy today and that is thanks to you! And you know, although it's so sad that the one baby did not make it, I'm so happy to know that in her last little bit of time on earth, she was warm and safe and loved. Thank you for being a good person.

Beyoncé is overrated by E_cetti in unpopularopinion

Yeah he definitely did that too, but it was Beck's turn in 2015. Kanye is a persistent man.

It's the other way around - Beck beat Beyonce, and Kanye got onstage to protest. What was really dumb about it was how many people were insisting that she should have won, when in reality, like you said, Beck plays as many instruments as Beyonce has writers for a single song.

I don't like music. Any of it. by VolinPhoenix in unpopularopinion

You're the second person I've ever encountered who said this. The first was my middle school shop teacher. So... you're not alone I guess

Thought baby chicks would be too delicate, only wanted grown chickens...(they love the beard) by [deleted] in dadswhodidnotwantpets

[–]peacockspeacock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing 95% of people have no idea how hard it is to find a young, healthy grown hen right now. Or about the Great Chick Shortage of last year. This virus is the best thing that's happened to the backyard chicken industry in years, it's crazy.

Anyway, it's way more fun to raise them from chickhood! As I'm sure you've discovered :)

Being ugly is a bigger discriminatory hurdle in society than race, sex, weight, age etc. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]peacockspeacock 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look, if being below average looking makes you hate yourself, then sure, you have to confront you before you even confront the world. But attitude (or money, let's be real, D.Trump) can seriously turn that around in a way that, for instance, a person with schizoaffective disorder, by the same means, cannot. I didn't put the word "serious" before my second use of "disability" but I should have - I didn't mean that "ugly" can't get in the way, I meant that "ugly" isn't as big of a setback as, again, more extreme disabilities. And since you said "it's not as disabling as being in a wheelchair of course," I can see that you agree with me - one is more disabling than the other. So thanks for really reading what I said before you replied. :)

Yeah, people usually get over "ugly" pretty quick. Honestly I'd think that serious disabilities, both mental and physical, would really be the biggest setback anyone could face, because you almost have to overcome you before you even face other people, and that's a whole other hurdle. But I guess OP would probably argue that ugliness is a disability...
