It’s nice to see good things happening in this world sometimes.

Reminds me of the dog episode from Futurama :'(
my heart skipped a beat when nibbler went to the same place and lay down in the spot.
We don't deserve dogs.
I fucking hate this comment. Plenty of people deserve dogs. And dogs deserve those people. Jessica and Molly in this article absolutely deserve each other.
"Dogs are so pure and kind that humanity as a whole, capable of great evil, should be grateful for their companionship"
"FUCK YOU!"
I fucking hate this comment. Plenty of other people deserve a comment like this, but not this one.
but how will i sound original and insightful if not by mindlessly repeating the platitude that has only been repeated one billion times before?
"OH you're alive? Good I guess, I'm hungry."
My SO in regards to our late cat: “I love Tuna but she’d sell me for a handful of Temptations”. Rest in peace gentle, but onery little void.
I have two cats and every day when I come home from work they both come running to greet me, one comes over to actually say hello, and the other one comes over so she can make sure I can see it, when she snubs me. Unless I have shopping bags in which case all shopping must be thoroughly inspected.
My dog is totally like that. I mean he likes me and all (I feed him and take him to the bathroom) but he’d be ok to not see me again too.
I also like cats; as animals, they're just far more practical...
Have you ever seen a ragdoll.
I meant to say the animals act more practical.
Sure a cat won’t jump into a burning building to save you; it’s a survivor and it knows it can’t drag you out anyway.
If you try to play with them like you would a dog, they just look at you like you’re a weirdo.
Every now and then I wonder if I were to somehow actually have a conversation with family pet, I always wanted to ask if they missed their birth family.
Obviously, humans don't mind taking them away from them to "raise them" but it's kind of sad when you think about it. We really don't deserve pets. Another thing that humanity as enshitified.
Mine’s sister from the next litter lives next door. She gets depressed if she can’t see her. Whimpers to be let out when she knows she’s outside. She is indifferent about their unrelated dog. Anecdotal, and not exactly the same thing but it made me wonder that too.
What a ridiculous comment. There are many communal animals that cohabitate with family. Evolution doesn't have a reason for things. We aren't "meant to hate family." Some species do, for one reason or another that gave them an advantage at some point in time that may or may not have to do with incest, and some don't. Saying animals are supposed to is putting some divine influence on evolution that doesn't exist, and isn't true regardless.
I had to view an archive version because the captcha would not end. If "Adolescent separation-individuation and family transitions" is the correct article, that doesn't say anything about incest in the abstract at least. It only discussed people staying with families. In fact, it treats people who fail to maintain family connections as less well adjusted. I'm not sure what your point is, if this is the article you intended to link.
We arent meant to hate our families, wtf. They are one of the reasons civilization could even develop. Children being raised together develop a natural ick against fucking each other.
I think your wording in the original comment is working against you.
Hate and sexual repulsion isn’t quite the same thing, neither is love and sexual attraction. People love their families, yet don’t necessarily feel sexual attraction toward them.
The way you phrased made it sound like the inherent disinclination toward sexual contact with family members somehow means you loathe them as people.
Nothing you have written in this thread is worth reading. Go read a fucking book.
You are typing in an open thread. Did you not expect replies?
No offense was taken at all.
Once again it seems your reading comprehension could use some work. Would you like to point out what indicates I was offended instead of just pointing at a dumb-ass comment and saying 'hey that was dumb.'
Are you an FBI agent?
I was worried this was going to be a "Jurassic Bark" type of story, so glad it wasn't.
