      Yeah. But not on the bed.

      Except some times on a lazy Saturday morning and they’re being annoying because they know it’s normally breakfast time now, but letting them up on the bed is a super special thing to take their mind off it. But they know it’s not a “You just get to do this whenever you want” kind of deal now, it’s invite only still. And they can’t take up all the room or start to clean themselves, shaking the mattress while the humans are trying to sleep in.

      Farts are an instant kicking off too.

    Would you also not want to have Mongo as your pet?

          Aww, precious baby! My boy is actually really nice. He’s only part husky, and must inherited his more mellow traits from his Akita side. He’s certainly no Mongo, but I’m also no Princess, so it works.

    I mean, if the package includes a Velociraptor that actually cuddles instead of opening doors and hunting me, then sign me up.

    Why does the right wing spend so much time worrying about what other people are doing? Is it because they have so much guilt in their own lives?

      Yeah and TBF I’m pretty sure a lot of “right wing” folks would love to have a pet dino.

      But they’d get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people “don’t worry, he’s friendly” just before it bites some kid’s head off

      “Conservatism has exactly one proposition, to wit: there is an in-group group in which the law protects but does not bind, and there is an out-group in which the law binds but does not protect.”

      I’m sure I didn’t quote that properly, but you get the point.

      When viewing reality through the lens of life being zero-sum, if one is not policing others, they are being policed. Add xenophobia and fear of others who are noncomforming and you end up with someone who feels the need to judge everyone around them.

        YES.

        Thank you.

        I love learning about dinosaurs. My favorite is the Ankylosaurus. What’s yours?

          • Yutyrannus ( basically a feathered Tyrannosaur)
          • Borealopelta ( an absurdly well preserved Ankylosaur)
          • Pachycephalosaurus
          • Parasaurolophus
          • Spinosaurus

          Those are some of my favourite dinosaurs. If you want to learn about dinosaurs, give „Terrible Lizards“ a listen.

            Awesome, thank you for the info!

            My fave used to be Plesiosaur, because I was mad into cryptozoology stories as a kid, and Nessie and Mokele Mbembe are (according to legend) potentially dinosaurs who survived the meteor.

            But I no longer believe that, and am a little annoyed that my schoolteachers didn’t teach me a little extra skepticism.

    I have learned nothing whatsoever from Jurassic Park and am attempting to recreate dinosaurs. Blue, here I come!
