Oooh that happens to me too. I don't have ADHD (or at least I think I don't) but my hearing is kind of shite so I would hear "Whet dine wizzit?" and then ask what and in the meantime my brain realizes what the actual words were supposed to be and then I answer.

"Look up the term I meant to use but actually didn't because I don't actually know how it goes, you dumdum!" Flawless argumentation there, poke.
@guest_ I don't deny that people can patronize other people based on their race, sex, ethnicity etc. I never did and I agree that it can happen in all the nooks and crannies within the political spectrum. But what I was pointing out is a different thing altogether, that sero only corrected a wrongful generalization when it was done by someone they politically disagree with, which I think is just plain hypocrisy.

"This type of racism is typical of left leaning people"
"Well a different type of racism is typical of right leaning people"
How does the fact that sero only decided to correct one generalized statement but not another not apply here?
Besides, your comment was a 6 word kinda vague statement. "Racism of low expectations", a term you just made up which we're supposed to understand as referring to the social security system and the apparent belief on the left that minorities always use it (which, you know, is just flat out wrong). If you meant it that way, you should've written it that way in the first place, vague slogan-y statements don't help anything.

Funny how you didn't correct pokethebear when they said that racism is "typical" of left leaning people. Overgeneralization is bad only when the other side does it, huh.

Somehow, tattoos were a lot cooler before SoundCloud "rappers" started using them so much.

Sorry for being a buzzkill, I was legit trying to help with distinguishing the types of comments. For someone who uses sarcasm in 90% of my daily dialogues, my joke radar sure sucks.
Also, all the power to your porkishness. Light chub is so much healthier than trying to be perfectly sculpted, anyway.

Yeah the comment section is a bit confusing sometimes. Usually the difference between a regular comment and a reply is how much space there is to the left of them. It also sometimes helps to reload the page so that the comment no longer appears as new and the blue bar disappears.

Good for you because I wasn't replying to you, I was referring to the post itself.

Sigh... I don't want to sound like an old fart yelling at kids about not having experience, especially since I'm probably the youngest person in this thread. But this is something you have to have lived to understand. You say it's without basis because you don't have the experience with people like this who pick a cat just because it's cute but then realize they can't take care of it despite all the warnings, you don't know what it's like to have a shelter almost overflow because of idiotic parents who buy their kids an animal for Christmas and then realize they can't take care of them, etcetera. I am simply fed up with people being irresponsible towards pets and by now I can smell them from miles away.

In Finland, products are left free 10 days before the expiry date 11 comments

Czech here, we have a bit watered down version of this where stuff with damaged packaging or a few days before expiry date (like one or two) is sold with a significant discount.
From my experience, eating something a few days after it expires is usually fine. As long as it was left unopened and of course it also depends on the type, for example chocolate is fine for a long time but dairy products are not. But maybe that's just me, maybe my utter disregard for my health made my stomach immune to everything, idk.

"she didn't say she wanted it out of aesthetic reasons alone" as I said already, she didn't ask about the animal's history or personality or, really anything other than its aesthetic. The fact that she didn't _say_ it doesn't mean we can't deduce from context. It's more about what she didn't say in this case.
Why are you so hostile towards assumptions? I even prefaced it saying it's an assumption and that I personally think that's the case. I didn't (ehm, unlike you might I add, "it's not an insult it's a fact" - now that's horseshit) try to pass it off as a fact. It's fine to argue whether you think that assumption is correct, maybe based on your experience with animal shelters vs my own, or some facts about shelters. It's okay to make an argument with personal experience as long as you say it's just your experience and not a fact. But it's not fine to just dismiss an entire argument because it contains an assumption that's derived from context and experience with this sort of thing.

We don't know what the cat in question is like. Maybe he's been abused and as a result is aggressive towards humans he doesn't know. Actually, and this is just an assumption, but if he was easy to take care of, I think the shelter would've been more forthcoming. If you come to a shelter and ask them for a cat that's easy to take care of because you've never owned one before but still want to do a good thing, I won't blame you. In fact that's the responsible thing to do. If you've never owned a cat and all of a sudden you feel charitable and blindly get one that has major health issues or is very wary of people, chances are you won't know what to do and will be returning the cat back in a few weeks. So if you want a cat, don't be ashamed to ask your shelter for a cat that suits inexperienced owners. But if you just come to a shelter wanting a particular cat without knowing or even really caring what its personality and history is like, be prepared to get turned down. (2/2)

Sigh... I'm just gonna ignore the insults and pretend this is actual discourse for a while.
Look, she clearly isn't an experienced owner. Experienced owners know not to take animals purely for "aesthetic reasons", they know that taking care of an animal is something you should take seriously, and having a cat as a fashion accessory is clearly not it. At the same time, shelter animals are often (not always of course, but often) harder to take care of than if you raise a kitten. Many of them have previously been abused and ran away or they were just kicked out of the house when their owners grew bored of them, and they often have a hard time trusting humans. Giving away a potentially harder to raise animal to an inexperienced owner who, on top of it all, doesn't seem to take the whole thing very seriously, is at best inadvisable and I think the shelter did the right thing. (1/2)

Not deserve, need. I specifically wrote "need" and even specified the reasons, and I naively thought nobody would trip over that. Oh well...
The problem is that the lady thinks of the cat as a fashion accessory, that's why she asked for a specific breed and rejected mixed breeds. If you think of animals or even humans (expanding on your example, if someone came to an adoption center and asked for an albino kid and then flat out refused to even look at the other kids if the place didn't have an albino child, wouldn't you call them a selfish bitch?) as fashion accessories, you probably aren't capable of taking care of one.

"I don't like mixed breeds for aesthetic reasons" = I am fully aware that there are cats in the shelter who need a home more than this one (for health reasons or because they've just been in a shelter for so long) but I'm a selfish bitch who's happy to let them suffer as long as I get my particular kind of animal.
That's what the fuck this is.
