    Yeah, no. If you read my post, I was referencing dogs having an emergency (diarrhea, if I need to clarify further) and needing to go out. This isn’t an imaginary situation, and every dog owner I know has experienced having to clean up a mess because their well trained dog simply couldn’t hold it. It’s not a criticism, as anyone with stomach issues that doesn’t have access to a bathroom would have an accident, too. Cats rarely have this issue, because they have an indoor bathroom.

    I don’t know why you took my post as idealizing cats and criticizing dogs, but that’s absolutely not the point of what I said.

    I’m a cat person who appreciates dogs, and this is spot on. Cats may demand food, but you can wait out a tantrum.

    The fear of having to potentially clean up an accidental means I’m up no matter what if the dogs are waking me up. I don’t like cleaning up these messes, and the dogs actively look like they feel bad watching me do it. We’re all having a bad time.

    I’d much rather have a sleepy, half-hearted argument with my cats than worry I’m depriving one of the dogs of going outside if they’re having an emergency. Apples to oranges.





  • If I’m understanding this correctly, passports are also a valid form of citizenship. Passports are usually held by people who lean left, so this could be another advantage the left has in this insane proposition.

    I hope passports will remain good enough. I was born to irresponsible teenagers and was legally adopted by one parent, and none of them gave me a copy of my birth certificate. I’m starting to worry that it would be worth tracking it down so I’ll have a copy just in case.

    This is all so insane, getting our papers in order in case we need to show them to avoid getting disappeared.
