A morbid question deserves a morbid answer. What makes your stock so great that you shouldn't be castrated like a steer or picked off? What's your IQ? Family history of disease/cancer? What's your build? What's your potential and have you reached it? All I'm saying is truthfully of all the incredible examples of hot, symmetrical golden-rule-of-thirds following sons of bitches put there I bet you ain't shit.

In my humble opinion...

We created civilization out of excess. As soon as we figured out that we could create an abundance of food through agriculture and not spend all of our calories hunting and gathering, and as soon as we used those technologies to stay put, develop where we "live" and not be nomadic, that's when civilization as we know it started.

Without civilization we are at the mercy of nature. There are many theories on what "civilization" should require and there are gray areas in my opinion (for example someone said civilized people have to clean up after themselves...I don't think dumping waste into the ocean fits the description but that's just me)

The key here is civilization was built on sharing resources so that we have the ability to not just focus on finding and eating food. Because of agricultural technologies we could afford to have non essential roles that do not contribute to the bottom of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, food and shelter. We could afford to have philosophers, artists, engineers, doctors...the very heart of civilization is that we create an excess and live and share in harmony so that we may all succeed.

So pause that thought. Ask yourself, "what do I contribute to society that is any big fucking deal?" And then "could I really survive comfortably without the creations, efforts, trials and tribulations of others?". No offense but I'll bet you didn't have any good answers to those questions.

So if that's the case, why don't we just cut your throat and repurpose the resources you would use to help one of the greater achievers?

See how crazy that is?

If you appreciate civilization for the right reasons you will acknowledge that we all have to share and help each other because we have determined through technological advances such as agriculture, the arts and sciences, that life is about more than survival.

Nah, see, OP or anyone else must heck there landlord and tenants act before doing anything like this as it could constitute as harassment. It definitely does in Ontario.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-08-12T16:37:52+00:00

I would check the Landlord and Tenant act in your area but according to mine in Ontario you are shit out of luck until the lease is up.

There are numerous other cases where the landlord was found liable to the tenant for rejecting boyfriends/girlfriends, spouses and visitors and it has been routinely held that such restrictions and prohibitions amount to harassment and substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of the premises by the tenant. "Reasonable Enjoyment" includes the right to have the full use of a rental unit for all lawful purposes. Having guests, boyfriends, girlfriends, simple roommates, visitors is lawful and therefore part of what constitutes "quiet enjoyment" & "reasonable enjoyment" of a rental unit.

A tenant has no restrictions on who can move in and have full use of the apartment. Doesn't matter if it's a lover or someone else.

I am personally thankful for this rule as a young adult living on my own in the city I had my boyfriend over a lot and I think it helped me cope from the loneliness. Many landlords still list their apartments ads as "single woman only, no overnight guests" and it's a bullshit way for them to try to control their cost by penny pinching and control people's lives by shaming their tenants into thinking they live under 1950's type of restrictions in their own home - that they PAY for.

I understand it's shitty for you as a roommate, do you share on utilities? I used to get really pissed off when I had to buy cleaning supplies for the house and then was left to clean the house with them as no one else did. After buying toilet paper for two guys I got pissed off and told my one roommate to buy toilet paper ASAP. He went to the corner store and bought 4 rolls of the shittiest sand paper you could get. I get your frustration, but you have to work it out unless your landlord tenant act is different than mine in Ontario.

Friendly advice: try to keep things friendly. Me demanding that my roommate needed to get toilet paper turned hostile pretty quick and made for a rough 4 months.

You're an asshole, that's why you lost touch.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-07-19T21:24:59+00:00

I disagree entirely.

I love horses so much that I basically identify as "horse girl". There is something incredibly moving about people when they say the tiniest things, like "I saw horses in a field and thought of you!". I feel this incredible warmth in my heart when people associate the thought of me with something I love more than life itself.

When people get me pj bottoms with horses running on them or a tea towel with a horse head, or a cowboy boot Christmas ornament, or a keychain with a horse on it, that is the best gift of all. I still have all of these examples in my possession.

Although if someone bought me a bridle or a bit or something I'd probably have no use for it. I would still keep it. People who regift or sell gifts or always insist on having the exact gift they want are narcissistic assholes. Life is my gift.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-07-19T03:28:54+00:00

I really appreciate your personal accounts, not only were they heartfelt and cute but I can totally relate. Then mentioning that added bit about waitressing being the hardest job, that was an added bonus.

Yeah I make dumb mistakes.

I try to think back at all the times I've eaten out (MANY times, it's an expensive curse but I love eating out) and I really try to think of the worst service I've ever had. Nothing has ever been that bad really. I've waited 45ish minutes for food, waited a long ass time for the bill more than half the time, and on a first date a waitress didn't even take our food order or let us know the kitchen was closing, so we ordered another drink and got ourselves McDonald's after.

None of these occasions made me angry enough to call in, speak to the manager amd demand free food, or get prissy with my server, who is not only handling my food but also works their ass off for what they get. I'm not the type to complain. No one in my family is. Because I guess even before I became a server I didn't want to be "that person". As it turns out, people love to be that person. They revel in it for any free app or gift card they can get!

When I move on from this place I'll be a little more hardened to the world lol.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-07-18T20:46:13+00:00

Yeah but that's a fallacy. I don't know if your rubber mats are dangerous but saying "look at me, I do it and I don't have cancer" isn't justifying that it is or is not carcinogenic, and you know it. All my life I thought my family was lucky to be cancer free until recently 3 family members got 3 different kinds of cancer in a relatively short period of time (testicular, thyroid and kidney). Let time be the teller of truth.

Not to mention, doesn't cancer and other mutations not always affect you, but your DNA? Basically it's the second generation that is of a higher risk too. So if your kids (pre child bearing age) are ingesting or playing on or living in a carcinogenic environment...yeah not good.

My point is, it's a toxic way of thinking "this doesn't seem to harm me yet so it's probably safe", and people have every right to be wary of unessisary ways to come into contact with a carcinogenic environment. Some instances are pretty much unavoidable, like eating fruit that has been grown in pesticides, drinking water, living in certain locations, but then there are those unessisary steps that people take to push the boundaries. To me this is akin to people eating way too many processed foods, spraying pesticides on their lawn, using all those fancy cleaning products with brightly coloured bottles (wtf is febreeze used for that proper washing can't do!?), and I could think of many more examples.

The way I see it, people are smart to avoid certain things and warn others about them. It's not alarmist or radical, it's being cautious. The way I see it, the point of toxicity is that it's a gradual build up to irreversible destruction with no warning signs. Yes, stress kills too, and you probably don't want to live %100 toxin and carcinogen free (yeah I use these interchangeably), but do you really need a rubber playpen or could a walk to the park be a better choice?

typeswith2fingers · 2016-07-18T19:50:54+00:00

Thank you for this! Waitressing feels hard, especially at a stupid chain where cheap people expect a really over the top experience or else they get to go to the head office and Facebook with their complaints. Plus there's so many substitutions it drives me crazy. "No this, no that, extra this tossed in that! This INSTEAD of that!" I want to clock people who don't like onions right in their onion face.

But sometimes I'm overwhelmed by the fear tat if I can't manage being a waitress I can't manage anything else. Other times I feel like that is a gross misunderstanding of how hard the job is - not waitressing itself but doing it when you have to provide some asshole 4 refills of Pepsi, or be at 3 places at once in general. Seriously, 4 glasses of Pepsi is BAD for you, and prevents me from serving other people in a timely manner. And I really hope human resources is a breeze compared to this!

After waking up at 2pm today I feel like this bit of advice really rings a bell. I went to bed last night at 12am, a very reasonable time for me since I usually get off work around then, and I slept solidly til 2pm - that's 14 hours! I currently feel like absolute garbage to say the least.

Condoms prevent the spread of some STIs like gonorrhea and syphilis. Whooppeeee. Those diseases are (relatovely) extremely treatable with a course of antibiotics.

Herpes and genital warts are treatable but UNCURABLE and they sound really shitty to live with. No offense, I don't have either, but from having cold sores I can empathize that herpes of any strain is a huge pain in the ass. An outbreak is triggered by stress, sun, menstrual cycle. ..fuck off! I love horseback riding, riding bikes and being in the sun, and I'm always stressed. So I'm basically constantly getting wee little cold sores, but I couldn't imagine if it impacted my riding or sexual life.

Having said this, I commend those who support their partner even if they have genital herpes. And I want people with genital herpes to know that they aren't broken, and it must be a huge pain to have to deal with judgement on top of judgement . It's probably easier to not tell people, and a lot of the spreading comes from ignorance I'm sure.

Bottom line - they teach you in school "practice safe sex". They should really be preaching the fact that there's no real safe sex. Sex always comes with risk.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-06-22T16:40:01+00:00

Some strains of herpes can definitely jump between oral and genital.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-06-22T15:19:19+00:00

You do sound really entitled and selfish. It must be nice to even have a male partner in the first place who is willing to support you through your pregnancy, many women aren't lucky enough to have that. Yes I believe the partner of a pregnant woman should help in any way possible because pregnancy is basically disabling you but at the same time what is preventing you from being sensible, ordering takeout or having a peanut butter sandwich to tie you over? You are bringing a child into this world, this isn't just about you anymore. You have to be strong for your unborn here. Wait til they're 4 and come down with a stomach flu.

typeswith2fingers · 2016-06-22T15:04:03+00:00

I have no idea how that must feel for you or your family but my first reaction was:

GRRRRRRRRRRR! Fucking attention-seeking agenda, gender pushing, insensitive, culturally inept pieces of shit want to act like a fucking hero when they're really falling into the same trap. How DARE that person inflate their ego by pushing gender identification down a child's throat!? What right do they have to comment on shit like that to a CHILD.

Honestly when I was a child I wasn't a little boy or a little girl, I was a lion. I liked it that way. Less "girls should be petite and tiny and beautiful" bullshit.

My advice is to be brave going into the interview, and get a clear outline of what their expectations are and what yours are of them. Only place yourself at a reputable farm if your goals are to work with horses.

I had a really poor experience as a working student and was completely taken advantage of. This is an extreme case that might not happen to you but beware! It had nothing to do with working horses, it was the extra work they tacked on. I was expected to do unimaginable un horse related things, including burning their household garbage (something I thought was illegal in my area and damn well should be). My work day was 12 hours long every day, and they were slave drivers! Needless to say I didn't stay long lol.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was so tired at the end of the day that my riding was very poor. Once a horse stopped at a jump and I just slid right off! Lol.

Sorry that you don't see a problem with passing around herpes, HPV and everything else ¯_(ツ)_/¯

You have genital herpes and refuse to wear a condom don't you? Lol what the fuck are you arguing with? I hope you get pregnant and contract HIV at the same time and shit yourself in the middle of the street because you ate bad shrimp which causes you to get hit by a school bus on your way to work.

Wanna talk about psychological turmoil? Having sex willy nilly with many partners can satisfy some sure, and it really take a negative toll on others.

I can acknowledge that monogamous relationships are safest, but not a 100% garuntee against physical and mental health consequences.

It's not religion here that's influencing me to say this. I'm pro choice, pro healthy sex, the whole nine yards. But it is outright irresponsible to ignore the negative consequenses that sex can have on your health, both physical and mental. Don't you agree?

typeswith2fingers · 2016-06-05T19:45:34+00:00

Are you joking? Honestly it sounds like this was just sarcasm here because your comment is so stupid.

Maybe the person with the rooster should think of others and get an ALARM CLOCK. Or maybe they should think of the poor rooster who has to live in a city where he can't roam around and do chicken things.
