The One and Only Dabbird

it's kind of incredible when people who lived through the birth of OSHA and EPA, along with the regulation of the automotive and tobacco industries, are like, "You're a luddite if you want to regulate the computer or have concerns about it as a consumer product, it's not a consumer product but more like a minor deity or something, anyway whatever it is it can't possibly be regulated, you have to just let the end of civilization wash over you"

You're a hopeless luddite if you don't want your children to fly through the windshield when you brake too hard. You're a hopeless luddite if you don't want your child's brain destroyed by constant exposure to an addictive product and the industry you work in to be opportunistically destroyed by 20 years of blatant and constant theft, despite the fact that an act of congress or scotus could have stopped all of this at any time

the detached brutality of all these “women need to have more babies” thinkpieces man

split your body wide open for the stock market

efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"

“people shouldn’t have to accept the bare minimum-” I agree with that too but we’re at a point where we have to cling to the bare minimum or that will be taken away too

We all got that one mutual that be going through the most treacherous situations a person could endure and then posting a few minutes later about why such and such should get fucked through a concrete wall.

kind of feel bad because there’s a cardinal who visits frequently and i guess it’s molting time so. you know. but whenever he shows up to get nuts and i happen to notice him i just shout BALDDDDD. every single time

Outdoor cat owners have no concept of basic ecology and it shows. "You're saying my kitty is EVIL for following its instincts???????" obviously not, you idiot, its an animal. I don't blame it because it is designed to hunt and doesn't understand human morality. The cat's human owner, though, should stop pretending that millions of people letting their pets hunt native species for fun WON'T make their ecossystem collapse. If you stop hearing birdsong in your neighborhood its your fault 👍.

Also cats are domestic animals????? Its your pet. Its your responsability to take care of it and it certainly doesn't look like you are doing this if your pet spends 90% of the day on the streets. Outside cats are in great risk for being ran over, stolen, beaten, poisoned, mauled or eaten by wild animals. A mildly bored cat is way better than a dead one and besides? Just offer your pet enrichment. You don't need to risk its life to keep it happy. You can even let it outside with supervision!! Look how many options we have. Insisting the only way to keep your cat happy is allowing it to wreck the environment and possibly die is not only fucking irresponsible, but also lazy and shows that you don't really care for the wildlife around you.

“oh but he’s happier outside” i think toddlers would be happier if you let them eat batteries but there’s a reason we don’t do that. giving your pet everything it wants is not an imperative. you are the great ape responsible for this beast stop being a fucking wet blanket
