Nice one, congratulations!

Well done! Takes a bit of work!

congrats

And now that that’s done with, go have some fun! 

Omg, congrats! 

Well, that wouldn’t surprise me, but we’re glad to have you back!

Here’s hoping!  It’s boring without the internet.

Fingers crossed, mine should be restored this evening.

Well, that wouldn’t surprise me, but we’re glad to have you back!

It’s makes me think of Ice King surrounded by all those penguins in Adventure Time.

It's like being back in the 80's again.  Well, apart from the mobile phone.

Thanks guys! It was nice of Pride to throw the parade on my birthday so I spent the day in the big city! And I’m totally getting mcdonalds because junk food magically becomes healthy on birthdays. It’s a law of nature. 

@CloverReef The happiest of birthdays to you!   

Asking the important question there! I hope you’re doing ok pittwitch, and I’ll stop imagining an escape in the style of Leeloo at the start of Fifth Element.

In most peoples books, human lives take precedence over animal lives. But not all, and I really don’t think there’s something wrong with that. I can’t tell you to see human lives and dachsund lives as similar, and you can’t tell me not to. We favour humans because we are humans, so there’s that obligatory loyalty there, and most of us have been taught that we as a species are superior. If you relate more with humans of course you’re going to value their lives more. That doesn’t mean their lives have more value. Unless you define value as in how they contribute to human society. 

For example, I believe life is valuable and that belief isn’t conditional to how I relate to other species or how those species can contribute to human society. But if there was a dog or a potted plant in a burning building, I wouldn’t save the potted plant over the dog. I don’t relate to a potted plant. I don’t understand how their suffering functions the same way I understand a dog. But a child vs a dog would be a much tougher choice to me, because I understand both. I’d probably choose the child, but I would not be able to live with myself – that dog’s death would haunt me. 
I do see my pets as my children. I don’t think they’re the same as human children, of course human children grow up into human adults, and trumps or cosbys so there’s a smidge more responsibility involved in shaping their minds and teaching them respect, and if they bite somebody, the neighbours can’t have them immediately executed. But I love them unconditionally. I value them. I am responsible for their lives, their happiness, and I am the only loving, nurturing authority they know. And I work at a shelter so I see what abandonment does every single day. I worry often about what will happen to them if something happened to me. 

As you can tell by my rant, I feel very strongly about this.

No, “save this human or that human” is not similar to “save this human or that dachshund.” I’m sorry, but in my book, human lives take precedence over animal lives. 
Of course, this isn’t a hard and fast rule. In a burning building, I would choose to save one of my cats over, say, Larry Nassar. But then, I’d probably choose to save my toaster oven over Larry Nassar, so...

If it were my upstairs neighbor’s son? To be brutally honest, I’d rescue the Pizza Rat first, although the fault lies more with the parents than with the little miscreant.
I’ve been through a lot with my wee corgi lass already. We’ve seen her through some pretty severe epileptic seizures, sat with her in hospital, and my iPod is set with alarms for her medication schedule. I couldn’t leave her behind, not after all we’ve been through. Granted, I’d get my mother and the kids out first, but I’d go back for her. She’s worth it.

Haha~ Maybe leave him a comment on it? I use Discus for commenting. He’d definitely appreciate some positive comments going his way.

Sounds like he really loves what he’s writing about. It was well done, and there was actually a movie in there I haven’t even heard of! Kudos. 

I just fixed the link, so others should be able to get to it through there now~

There it goes.

That’s an awesome thing to believe, in my opinion. Haha~

I'm just going to believe that it means I'm the chosen one of some AFF specific demon.
