things you just dont understand

[Roose Hurro]

You can't even tell a dog's sex by looking!

Now, I know right off you made a disclaimer right after this claim, but... really? Given it's so, ummm, easy to see that a male dog is male, even if they're neutered, it isn't all that hard to determine. Unless said male dog has very long fur, which could "cover the evidence." But then... well, before I refer to an animal, I do tend to "look" for evidence. But that's because I prefer being accurate in my pronouns, even with animals, if possible. And with dogs, it's very, very possible, and requires little effort.

Heh...

I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm finding it hard to understand humanity.

I just don't understand the singing in most sepultra songs

 

[Ieono]

I don't understand how some people can completely reject others simply because of their race or skin color. It is so ridiculously shallow.

Why humans are so stupid, pig headed morons who are only talking in term of profit and polluting the only planet we have ?

 

[Fallowfox]

-Furries with hair
-People who think their morals need to apply to everything in fiction else it's a horrible thing

Furries with beards are even worse!

Why humans are so stupid, pig headed morons who are only talking in term of profit and polluting the only planet we have ?

We've got ourselves into a sticky situation. Far more humans are now alive than our planet would be able to support indefinitely without sustaining lasting damage.

...and all of those humans want electricity and medicine, both of which come from oil which we know endangers our planet's capacity to support enough agriculture even further.


It's tricky, but we can all help a bit by reducing our consumption of carbon-intensive foods, like meat, stuff like that.

Why the hell cops need to fill quotas. I was going to make a thread in rants and raves over this but I don't want to waste space. It's that time of the month again. Only 2 weeks for cops to fill quotas! I understand the stress and danger of being a police officer, but I don't understand this! I was out on my stoop smoking. A cop car pulls up across the street. They already have a guy in the back. I'm sure that guy(whatever he is accused of doing) wants nothing more than to be processed and move on with his life. But no, one officer gets out of the car and proceeds to walk up and down that side of the block checking every cars inspection sticker. After 20 minutes she's written 3 tickets. Why the hell aren't you dealing with the problem you have on your hands first! Instead, you make the guy in the back of your squad car(who very well might be completely innocent or have just committed a misdemeanor) suffer through you filling your quota? Quotas are a real thing, as far as I've been told. I have a friend who's a cop in jersey and a friend I've known for 12 years who comes from a police family. They've both complained about it. I don't hate the police. I veiw them as necessary. But why bog them down with useless bs to pad statistics so the mayor/governor or police chief looks good? And if they aren't driving the car why ticket them for a expired inspection. Really pisses me off and leaves me scratching my head.

Why I still get those creepy schoolish nightmare/dreams despite not being in school. Go away dreams. D:<

Shit, I thought I was the only one like that.

I still have dreams about coming into school and seeing people who I used to be friends with and everything being okay again.

Please go away dreams it hurts too much ;~;

Why the hell cops need to fill quotas.

Because if their pay was based on the work they do (like it is for every private employee or self-employed person), then pay would depend on their performance, but when your pay is guaranteed and fixed (yay government jobs), they force quotas on you so you don't slack off. Back in USSR tons of jobs had quotas, because everyone got paid regardless of whether they busted their butt morning to night, or sat around doing nothing. And when your pay is like that, most people preferred to sit around and do nothing.

Oh boohoo, muh fixed pay, muh police labor rights.
A police officer's productivity is based on the charges they lay. Writing tickets and making arrests using intimidation and violence leads to job promotion and bonuses on top of that already decent paycheck. Also just a friendly reminder that no police officer is obligated by law to protect citizens (Warren v. DC, Bowers v. DeVito, etc) so police aren't actively putting their life on the line for you like say a paramedic or firefighter is. A cop could choose to ignore your call, wait for the danger to be gone and then swoop in to slap you w/ summons for being on private property, despite the fact that you called them for help.

Lol none of this is true. Still using American cold war propaganda like it's historical facts. 10 months gulag for you.

Interestingly enough, police quotas are actually illegal...

The hell? I'm FROM USSR, and my parents, grand parents, friend's parents, and parents' friends all worked in that system. Frankly I didn't even know that this was "American propaganda," because this was the reality of the life that we lived there. That's also a big reason for why everything in USSR was shit, and why everything that Russia owns today that was built during USSR days is shit (like most of their military equipment that keeps catching on fire or falling out of the sky).

That's why they're called "perfromance goals," "performance initiatives," or some other fancy term.

Well some people are brought up with values/beliefs that contradict scientific fact and never look into the mechanics of things like evolution or climate change properly because fantastically it's presented to them as little more than leftist propaganda, as far as i'm aware at least. The issues of why people come to hold/propagate such beliefs is something that really interests me but i'd rather spend my time learning about things that i see as practical than what to me seems to amount to little more than an ultimately pointless cultural battle so my opinion of such things is likely to remain undeveloped for a while.

Grain of salt and all that.

Why my brother has such a taste for expensive-ass products. For fuck's sake, if one of the foam circle parts of your headphones gets a little wiggly, do you really need to pay an arm and a leg for a whole new set?

Out of curiosity what do you define as the characteristics of an SJW?

I've not had the misfortune of meeting any but from how they're described they seem like ridiculous straw men and the term seems more like a dismissive snarl word than anything relevant to a discussion.

Exactly why I just shaved off most of my body hair, and how I'm going to explain it to coworkers and family.

So why did you shave most of it off?

 

[Kit H. Ruppell]

So why did you shave most of it off?

I'm going to a party that's guaranteed to have gay furries tomorrow ;3
Otherwise, mostly to make myself more attractive to myself I guess. Drinking on an empty stomach and having the house to myself didn't help. Maybe I should just come out? It'd get me out of my mother and stepfather's basement, for sure. After the bruising that'd likely occur, I might wish I still had the hair.
I must say, I haven't felt this fresh and light in a while.I still have pubes, chest hair, and a strip of abdominal hair connecting the two. Everything else is gone.

 

[dischimera]

Furries with beards are even worse!

You're right. They are. But I don't even like human beards anyway >_>

 

[Rassah]

You were trying out for a swim club.

 

[Fallowfox]

Men should be able to shave their body without having to worry that people will assume they're gay, anyway.

 

[Deleted member 82554]

I don't understand Furries. Like, what's their deal, man? :V
