My favorite game when people get weird about animal affection is to apply that same logic to humans. Are humans capable of affection, or do they just view each other as sources of food, shelter and scritches? Can they genuinely tell one another apart or are they just going by context clues? The worst thing a cat will do is bat a prey animal around; they've never disenfranchised refugees or swindled a pensioner out of their home. point cats

Beeswax posted:Cats would defund all public libraries in a heartbeat if they could I keep asking for citations but receiving none. What about the cats who live in Hemingway's home? Would they disapprove of public reading?  You might not write a lot with these guys around, but that doesn't preclude already existent books!

Crespolini posted:Sort of. Cats find it easy to identify large quadruped mammals like cows or horses, and comparatively difficult to recognize a small bipedal mammal like their owners. Basically the smaller and less-legged something becomes, the worse it gets, until you have them unable to tell a cucumber from a snake. Plus, he'll occasionally curl up in bed with me. All of these are cats ways of showing affection, and I'm sure I've missed several that Randy doesn't do but other cats do.

I have gained a newfound admiration for small birds ever since I got the ability to experience more than just the usual talgoxe and pilfink. Here's a list of some good birds you can see at your feeding station if it's located in a forested area quite down in the South: 5. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%B6tv%C3%A4cka Nötväckor are cool and a bit cocky. I like the way they are running up and down the tree, and the black stripe they have covering their eyes is, to me, quite stylish. 4. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stenkn%C3%A4ck Stenknäck... Now that's a cool name. And with that beak, you can almost believe it's literal! 3. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steglits Now this one is a beaut. It looks almost exotic with it's yellow and red coloring. 2. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofsmes Now we're talking. Just look at this one. Love that little tuft. 1. https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stj%C3%A4rtmes These are so cute. Like a white cute fluffy ball. Impossible not to love! Will update/reorder list as mood strikes me.

I think we should import some Nuria's into Scandinavia. Yes I know that they're outlawed and hunted to extinction in all of EU for being a potentially invasive species that will eat all of our trees, or whatever, but come on  They're so cute. Just let them.

Anyway, the best animals are felidae and corvidae, with notable mentions for anatidae, spheniscidae, and ursidae.

Covid or no, it's not loving ok to go to work sick and infect your colleagues. It should literally be classified as assault. Actually, if I had to pick between being punched in the face by a coworker so I get a black eye or catching a cold at work, I'd pick the punch.

After all, the more frail and old people die from you going to work sick the better, that way we'll be saving a bunch of money from not having to pay those people their pensions and health care. It's a win/win for people that matter.

Beeswax posted:tall #1. bästa skogen är en tallskog. For real! especially if were talking oldgrowth pine forests. but yeah pines are just gorgeous and grow in really beautiful weird organic shapes in certain environmental conditions. Theyre rugged too, as opposed to their rival the spruces which might as well be named Goldilocks. And speaking of birds, no scandinavian bird is as gorgeous as the Nötskrika (Eurasian jay).
