Am atheist, can confirm.

saltesc@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 173d (1 reply)

Yeah. But not on the bed.

Except some times on a lazy Saturday morning and they're being annoying because they know it's normally breakfast time now, but letting them up on the bed is a super special thing to take their mind off it. But they know it's not a "You just get to do this whenever you want" kind of deal now, it's invite only still. And they can't take up all the room or start to clean themselves, shaking the mattress while the humans are trying to sleep in.

Farts are an instant kicking off too.

Utahraptor gets to sleep in the bed. They are rather needy.

Sounds like you shouldn't own one.

Dojan@pawb.social · 4 pts · 173d

Aww, precious baby! My boy is actually really nice. He's only part husky, and must inherited his more mellow traits from his Akita side. He's certainly no Mongo, but I'm also no Princess, so it works.

Why does the right wing spend so much time worrying about what other people are doing? Is it because they have so much guilt in their own lives?

phx@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 173d

Yeah and TBF I'm pretty sure a lot of "right wing" folks would love to have a pet dino.

But they'd get a Tyrannosaurus to go with their Rottweilers and then tell people "don't worry, he's friendly" just before it bites some kid's head off

"Conservatism has exactly one proposition, to wit: there is an in-group group in which the law protects but does not bind, and there is an out-group in which the law binds but does not protect."

I'm sure I didn't quote that properly, but you get the point.

When viewing reality through the lens of life being zero-sum, if one is not policing others, they are being policed. Add xenophobia and fear of others who are noncomforming and you end up with someone who feels the need to judge everyone around them.

Let me tell you about:

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 172d (2 replies)

YES.

Thank you.

I love learning about dinosaurs. My favorite is the Ankylosaurus. What's yours?

5ibelius9insterberg@feddit.org · 1 pts · 172d (1 reply)
  • Yutyrannus ( basically a feathered Tyrannosaur)
  • Borealopelta ( an absurdly well preserved Ankylosaur)
  • Pachycephalosaurus
  • Parasaurolophus
  • Spinosaurus

Those are some of my favourite dinosaurs. If you want to learn about dinosaurs, give „Terrible Lizards“ a listen.

FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 172d

Awesome, thank you for the info!

My fave used to be Plesiosaur, because I was mad into cryptozoology stories as a kid, and Nessie and Mokele Mbembe are (according to legend) potentially dinosaurs who survived the meteor.

But I no longer believe that, and am a little annoyed that my schoolteachers didn't teach me a little extra skepticism.

People would pay you to see it. Pay you a fortune to pet it, People would crowdfund you in a hot second. You'd have movie rights, book rights.

A: it's a joke calm down.

B: even if dinosaurs have been around since the beginning of humanity we couldn't have domesticated them yet and possibly never could.

C: Dogs are mammals we are practically the same species compared to dinosaurs.

D: velociraptors specifically did not have social and hierarchical genes that would require evolution to take over not domestication it took humans ~200,000,000 years to evolve that good luck keeping humans alive that long.

The word "absolutely" is generally considered an absolute and since it is in the first sentence sets the tone for the rest of the conversation as someone who absolutely has no room for negotiation on his view.

stupidcasey@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 173d (2 replies)

Allow me to re-word your sentence:

"We absolutely could have domesticated raptors."

My group without any possible room for disagreement from a sain man, disagrees with you the outsider.

My group (the royal 'We' giving a sense of universal acceptance but the sentence above clearly disagrees creating an in/out group mentality and the illusion that you are the odd one out, placing me in the out group) without any possible room for disagreement from a sain man, disagrees with you the outsider (this last bit is interesting because it is not a sentence The layman would agree with, wether true or not, ergo the entire point was to place me as an outsider not to make a fact).

That is an adversarial comment looking to discredit me.

A more proper way to say that would be something like:

You could domesticate a velociraptor.

Or if you truly believe it to be so

We do actually have evidence that it is possible to domesticate velociraptors.

As far as it being an opinion you are technically correct, your intentions might not have been to communicate aggression, however your opinion in this case doesn't fall in the equation. you are performing the act of communication, the information that I received is what matters, otherwise you have failed that goal.
