I read somewhere that "When you choose a life partner you're choosing your eating companion for about 20,000 meals, your travel companion for about 70 vacations, your retirement friend, career therapist, & someone whose day you'll hear about 18,000 times" and I really can't stress this enough.

I really love dogs. I worked as a vet tech and dog trainer for many years, and I’ve cared for and trained a lot of pit bulls. Some of the sweetest, happiest, most affectionate dogs I ever worked with were pit bulls. I know people who love theirs very much.

And yet I would absolutely never bring one into my home, nor would I let my child play at a home with one.

Pit bulls are uniquely powerful, fast, unpredictable, and dangerous. No amount of training turns a dog into a machine that will always obey. Dogs have minds of their own. The fact that a particular dog has never bitten anyone before means very little when every dog that bites someone has a first bite. And by the way, any dog that has bitten to the point of drawing blood WILL absolutely bite again. It's not a matter of if, but when.

Pit bull defenders often say Chihuahuas or other small dogs are more aggressive or more likely to bite. There may be some truth to other breeds being more reactive, but it’s still a false equivalence. The frequency of aggressive behavior is not the same thing as the capacity to inflict catastrophic injury. A golden retriever may bite you, but a pit bull can kill a small child in seconds.

Pit bulls are not ordinary dogs with an unfair reputation. They are extraordinarily strong, quick, determined animals, and when one decides to attack, stopping it can be nearly impossible. Love, responsible ownership, training, and a history of good behavior do not erase what the dog is physically capable of.

People who love pit bulls have to stop pretending that theirs is uniquely special or safe. Pit bulls should not continue to be bred or kept as ordinary household pets. Ownership should require special licensing, serious training, secure containment, and mandatory sterilization so the breed can be humanely phased out.

there's really only one thing that will save you in old age and that's having female family members

my hot take is mother doing 100% of nighttime care for baby is least disruptive for the baby, and if you get good at efficiently feeding your newborn and getting them back down quickly, everyone (mom, dad, and baby) gets better sleep.

more so than if mom and dad traded off on nights in pursuit of fairness.

[Kelly Ryerson @GlyphosateGirl]

In 2020, the EPA found that glyphosate is likely to injure or kill 93% of endangered species. But hey, don't worry, it’s totally safe for humans. At what point do we count as “endangered”... fertility is tanking.

They’re out here human trafficking, staging pandemics, transferring human consciousness into new bodies, building underground cities, raping kids & taxing us to death EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T EVEN NEED OUR PEASANT MONEY…and YOU’RE out here talking about which one to vote for. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Men who take from women become emasculated. Men who give to women thrive in their masculinity.

My most controversial belief is that people who work jobs, take care of children, or otherwise contribute to the common good deserve more consideration than those who don't

If we must cater to working mothers or violent schizophrenics, I say moms first

New particle accelerators can turn nuclear waste into electricity, and cut the radioactive lifetime by 99.7% by converting radioactive isotopes via neutron bombardment

This could recycle the entire US commercial used nuclear fuel stockpile in 30 years

🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Massie warns that “all three branches of this government are under siege by lobbyists and lawyers from a German company named Bayer.”

Bayer has spent “over $9 million lobbying” Congress and the executive branch to block Americans from suing them for poisoning us with glyphosate.

“The Constitution guarantees people a trial if they’ve been harmed.”

“This is wrong.”

“We shouldn’t succumb to the lobbyists, not in the executive branch, not in the judicial branch, and certainly not here in Congress.”

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

“You can’t talk about health without addressing the soil...we use an ENORMOUS amount of Glyphosate that is tied to autoimmune issues & cancers.

Bayer/Monsanto has paid over $11 Billion in damages to people getting these very well-defined cancers...conclusively from glyphosate.”

After marriage, your spouse and kids are your real family. Parents, in-laws... they’re extended. If you can’t get this, you’re not ready to marry.

I met John in Phoenix. He had set himself on fire the day before, freebasing a perc 30, and refused to go to the hospital because he didn't want to lose his favorite spot behind the garbage bin, since it was only a block away from dealers, and perfect to piss in.

He had a government room he didn't use, because catching on fire (something he did every now and then) set off smoke alarms.

He also thought it was cursed and monitored by the same people who had held him captive on an island in the middle of the pacific -- and island he escaped from three months before by swimming the 400 miles. He showed me an arm, covered with burns, that he claimed was where a shark had bit him.

John should not be out on the streets setting himself on fire. If you cannot see that, then I can't help you

Your relationship will change when you have a baby. It's either gonna be stronger or weaker and it all depends on how the dad handles the postpartum journey.

[Matthew Coast @MatthewCoast]

This might stir the pot, but women initiate most DIVORCES because they’re the ones who fill out the paperwork. Just like they’ve ALWAYS done with the school forms, permission slips, and tax documents.
