edit: i need to add: to the people who insist on arguing against the painfully obviously hyperbolic statement “all americans are stupid” without taking 2 seconds to consider “maybe the core claim is that way too many americans are stupid, not literally every single american”-- you are reinforcing a side of the debate, just not the side you think you are

Hah! You claim to be against anti intellectualism yet you move your own goal posts when people prove you wrong via a counter example!?

“Babe, hold on, I need to send a text,”

🚩🚩🚩 Penalty! Moving goal posts! Shepard is attempting to change the discussion from being bitten to merely coming in contact with!

Also, how is this squirrel going to be infected with rabies after living indoors for 7 years?

How does one verify the squirrel was actually inside for 7 years after it bites them?

This is so true. I actually went there before Tiger King even aired. They were very transparent that their organization used to breed tigers and rent them for TV/advertisement usage. But in Tiger King they just show this crazy man ranting about how “She used to do this too, she’s just the same as us!” But like, they’re not fucking hiding it. They literally told us on the tour how they realized that doing things like using big cats for advertising brands (think like leopard in a high end jewelry ad, for example) just sort of drives people to view them as pets and seek them out. And whether folks agree or disagree with that isn’t really the point, my point is that BCR (even before Tiger King) was wildly transparent about their history and their transformation/changing of opinions over the years.

It actually sort of makes me angry with the documentary makers. Like I’m definitely upset with media illiterate folks only getting “Carol Baskin killed her husband” because Joe Exotic wouldn’t shut up about it. But like… Joe literally tried to hire a hitman. And that’s not a theory or a guess. He did it. And folks just eauate them. But the film makers didn’t really do a good job covering this aspect about BCR’s transparency. It just feels irresponsible to me I guess. There’s more but it’s not fresh in my mind any longer. I wanna say there was some stuff about people they interviewed that was weird. Like I think Carol’s husband’s old secretary that got replaced tried to steal or something? I don’t remember. But they just don’t include that context.

Do they carry as much as your car? lol

Can you be certain that no company monitors your brain and uses that as their CEO somehow?

In general, I would suspect most folks uploading cat pics have their cat legally and hopefully have them vaccinated for rabies. Two pretty big differences lol.

It’s been interesting seeing people’s reactions to this versus Tiger King.

I was under the impression that cargo ships were actually pretty efficient due to their absolutely massive capacity. Compared to things like airplanes, I mean.

It united the right though…

Uhh… My friend. They said it was a work chat. Regardless of your opinion if swearing I think you should understand that work places are generally more conservative with regards to swear words.

No worries. It’s very unintuitive lol.

He misunderstands the casting couch genre.

The pipe is throwing me off because usually I have to do parentheses for that to work…

So close. Use ! Instead of /c/.

Pretty sure they meant because of the word shit, not the TLD works.

What?

So so true. A perfect example is anything on any page of man other than 1 may as well not exist.

I’ve cut out all Trumpers after Jan 6 2021 basically except for maybe my wife’s parents. I’m afraid to ask them. All of us have a spoken agreement to not bring up politics because we all have to see each other and don’t want to fight. A major caveat to that is that we see them as little as we can though.
