When have conservatives ever given a poo poo about mental health? Yeah their arguments are bad faith / performative concern. I know that's a lovely reductive way to dismiss other people's arguments but gently caress it, they're ghouls and I'm not feeling generous enough to give them the benefit of the doubt. God forbid any of my social media friends try that line on me because I will go through their entire post history to prove that they never gave a poo poo about any of these points until today.

Peacoffee posted:that dude is 100% using post-modern the way nazis talked of modernism (and add to that the general chaos of relativity AKA JEW SCIENCE) I do not know how the Nazi's talked about modernism, but trusting what you are saying, then yes. They are both using it the exact same way. But the use/definition/meaning of the word "postmodern" can change wildly. But I know enough about that word and what surrounds it, that I never want to use, and people would be better off treating it like a corporate buzz word.

To get back to the start of the pet discussion, which I'm pretty sure was about food - I'm not sure you can return to the "Just let your pet feed itself" model in cities or suburbs, too little food to go around. The cats will decimate the population of smaller animals, before fanning out into the countryside to continue their holocaust, while the dogs will form packs and start harassing/attacking people, like you see in Russia except on a far grander scale. Of course people aren't going to just switch to letting their pet feed themselves, so in the event of it becoming increasingly hard to feet pets, the outdoor cats who are let out to supplement what they get at home will become prey to the suburban trappers, naturally putting a check on pet food demand.
