Dogs are the most dangerous animal in the world and lots of breeds of dog are bred to intentionally have various problems that they constantly suffer from and owning one of those animals and then constantly espousing your appreciation for how it loves you unconditionally is very unsettling to me! :shrug:

I guess they're behind snakes (and mosquitoes if you count being a vector for disease), but they're still disconcertingly high on the list as an animal that we regularly cohabitate with?

Whatever, my point is I endorse the robot dogs.

Having one companion dog that pays attention to you-personally is very different from living in a house whose main feature is a revolving door of piddling, stinking, moody livestock, but ok I'll eat that one.

I mean yeah, and we had those too. But holding a newborn pup squeezed out of a womb packed to nearly bursting of other pups because the breed was so utterly small that it's basically not possible for them to breed without intervention and having to carefully and forcefully whip it through the air to swing the plug of mucus and amniotic fluid out of its airways so that it could maybe start breathing and survive made me rethink people's relationships with dogs, and then doing that several other times solidified those feelings.

[Your dog] is probably, like, fine and good and stuff! But, ugh, dogs.

Is there a specific thing that the fascists need to do before pejoratively calling them Nazis becomes acceptable, or should I just only refer to fascists as fascists and then have other neolib nitpicks talk down to me about how "well, technically, that's not fascism, you see, because,"
