*How to love someone with anxiety after going insane from carrying the entire mental load while they refuse to get help.

Ohh yeah lick that Chinese boot, lick it harder. Mmmhhh.

Girl boring guy quirky.

You all need to stop indulging in self righteous hate for licensed animal breeders. I get it, but your anger is misplaced.

Think about it for a second. If you banned licensed animal breeding, do you really think people will stop buying and producing pure bred animals?

If you think things are bad now, you should look at what animal breeding looks like before it was regulated. Banning it outright will only create a black market who’s only incentive is to bred for grotesque traits with even less regard for animal welfare.

The majority of modern licensed breeders are working to undo decades of fucked up animal breeding by reintroducing healthy traits while preserving marketable ones. Not to mention breeders are necessary for producing dogs who can be trained as guide dogs and medical alert dogs.

The problem lies with people who shop and don’t adopt. Don’t blame licensed breeders for trying to temper the grotesque demands of animal shoppers. Whether or not you ban it, animal breeding will continue and it’s only a matter of how much more animal abuse is involved.

Processed meat refers to meat that has been transformed through salting, curing, fermentation, smoking, or other processes to enhance flavour or improve preservation. Most processed meats contain pork or beef, but processed meats may also contain other red meats, poultry, offal, or meat by-products such as blood.

Before anyone asks, no, ‘salt’ doesn’t refer to sodium chloride in this context but rather curing salt or sodium nitrite.

‘Unprocessed ham’ is just a consumer term for ‘uncured ham’, which ironically is still cured, just with sodium chloride and not sodium nitrite. But sure let’s pretend every ‘Ma’am’ asking for nitrite-free ham is just a homeopathic dunce asking for the non-existent.

I know it’s not deliberate, but phrases like ‘spineless pussies’ are why women don’t feel welcome on lemmy.

Is lemmy truly a left-leaning platform? Or is it yet another tech-bro circlejerk that cares more about the aesthetics of inclusivity? You all can’t have your cake and it eat it too.
