Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

That dog is going to leave a massive void once it expires by the sound of things.
The one who past last May did. We're back up to two but there's still a soul missing from the house. But our newest seems to have absorbed some of his personality with how she acts. It's not the same, it never will be, but it's somehow familiar.
I'm glad to hear your coping. I'm on the opposite end. I don't do pets and I do have a child. At the end of the day it's whatever keeps you happy given the circumstances. Everybody is different.
Sorry in advance, unexpected brain dump inbound. Sadly, evolution doesn't factor in happiness or anything apart the ability to procreate and survival of a species. We are living in a time where we way outlive our need to be here. No wonder suicide rates are higher after "mid life" and crazy biological processes happen like menopause. Survival in later life is irrelevant from an evolutionary point of view. But here we are.
Child or no child. Dog or no dog. Let's all do what we can to be happy and support those who we can support on the way.
No apologies needed. Be good and do good. In the end that's what is important. It doesn't matter how you go through life, how you procreate, who you fuck, or what you do. As long as you leave the world at the end of the day better for those behind you. Spread love to those you love and those who don't love you because they need it.
Be the change you want to see.
