    I never even knew about them until about 10 years ago, then knew I wanted one immediately after looking them up.

    Then a year later my sister, working at an animal rescue shelter, let me know that one came in after being abandoned due to running off and being picked up by animal control multiple times, and then I immediately got on the list to adopt.

    Apologies for the photo bombardment but definitely one of the best of the dog breeds out there.

    Need to have space though and be more of a partner than a master, to tolerate stubbornness and barks.






  • Personally I don’t even subscribe to any. I just browse all and then filter out any community that pops up which I don’t think I’ll ever be interested in.

    I started to subscribe to a few but when browsing subscribed only I felt like I was potentially missing so much, because maybe I subscribed to the wrong “aww” instance but I also didn’t want to go through and find the 3-4 different versions to subscribe to.

    This way I see everything, except the stuff that I definitely don’t want to see (like most of the porn instances, non-english instances, etc.)






  • Words become slurs as soon as assholes start using it in a derogatory fashion. It doesn’t need to make sense, it’s just how it is.

    Retard used to be a medical term. Then assholes used it as an insult so it became a slur. Then it needed to change to mentally ill. Now mentally ill is started to go out of fashion.

    The n word used to just be a term to refer to black people, then assholes used it as an insult. Then assholes started to just use the word “black” as an insult so we needed to switch to African-american.

    Language evolves, and assholes ruin things all the time so we have to continuously evolve and change so we don’t use the same words as assholes.

    If it’s at least possible for those micro plastics to be broken down, would it really matter if they don’t break down ina landfill? Either they stay in the landfill forever causing no problems or they leach out / blow away outside of the landfill and voila, proper conditions to be broken down into starches and consumed by bacteria.
