The way insurance works, you WANT people who never file a claim to pay into it such that the people who use it don't have to pay as much.

Can you imagine holding a grudge for 120 years?

Yes. My mother and her sisters have for over 50. All of them are going to their deathbeds having these grudges.

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

#people will overlook the perfect breeds to suit their needs based on just their looks#and get a work dog because it looks cool

Any time someone sees Herschel and says "AWWW I want a Corgi <3" (because he is Very Cute (TM)), I immediately reply: "Do not get a Corgi unless you have a job for it to do. They were bred to bully livestock across the hills of Wales. This is basically a Border Collie that knows he is cute enough to get away with murder. If you get one and it doesn't have a job, it will apply its livestock-bullying instincts to YOU. Herschel's job specifically is to help manage my crippling ADHD, because I don't have a bull for him to micromanage." This gets me odd looks at the home depot but it does get the point across.

My aunt had a collie. We dogsat for a week while my daughter was a toddler. This dog herded my daughter when we walked her. It was so fucking cute to have a dog apply the working instincts to what it could. Probably among the most relaxed walks I've taken because of an extra set of eyes. Normally I found myself on high alert, but this dog knew the environment and steered my daughter away from things that might have presented danger. And she obeyed.
