When i give something, i give wholeheartedly. They can do whatever they want with it; keep it, sell it, throw it in the trash, give it away, or recycle it. Otherwise i would feel like i gave them something with some restrictions attached. I will also never check what they did with it. I gave them something because i wanted to give them something. It’s nice if they like it, but it’s not an obligation to appreciate it.

One of my dogs was on the streets for at least a year. He eats crazy fast and he doesn’t care what it tastes like.

Afaik they have -as a breed - a lot of genetic defects through inbreeding. I would love to have cats like these, but i would never want to encourage breeders by buying them

Actually no, because they are no more sentient than a rock. Samsara is about living beings and how to end suffering

Meditate

I just found another article that they will not merge into a proton subscription…

To add to the comments; many people and laws still view animals as objects, to do with as one pleases. I still hear americans -i’m from europe- talking about animals as ‘it’.

Edit; typo

Having to walk 10000 steps a day. It was a made up commercial marketing campaign from japan, iirc

The older i got, the happier i became. Despite physical aches and decline. Mentally, i’m much stronger now. And i don’t care should people not really like me, or have whatever opinions about me. Also, being kind to others makes you happier.

Yes, i see them frequently. Planes often have blinking lights and fly lower. And shooting stars are already gone in the blink of an eye. Also, i have an app -Stellarium - that, if in doubt, shows whether they’re satellites.

Probably nine or so. I go to bed early and get up reasonably early too. As a morning person, and with chronic pain, this seems to work for me.

Papyrus on my android. It’s not even in the playstore anymore, but i keep -and backup- apk’s. It’s just the simplest notes app, without any markup. It saves as simple text files.

I just open it, jot something down, and leave it. Saves automatically. It might be way more than 10 years even, 15 plus years?

I know that dogs sometimes get flea drops, which gets in their blood and hence makes their fur poisonous for chicks. I hope horses don’t take medications that can remain in their fur?

Not funky, but interesting articles, also for non-sciency people

That’s interesting, thanks for sharing!

Yes, according to vets and avian specialists, they pose a significant danger for birds. Personally, i wouldn’t risk it. Birds are very sensitive to polluted air, way more than humans are.

However, if you have pet birds and you would light a scented candle, or burn a non stick pot, these poisonous substances will affect them so much harder than for humans, often with deadly consequences

A little courage goes a long way

I do love the apt ‘rich beyond conscience’, whoever wrote the quote
