Y'know, the childhood trauma that led to a phobia of boats involved calling something that wasn't a frog, a frog.* Maybe the reverse could traumatize some other child :V

*Protip: Bullfrogs do not, in fact, grow to be larger than a riverboat. Tell a friend.

It's just tough when things like price and cat demeanor and stuff are not really things easily comprehended by an eight-year-old who has her heart set on getting a pet.

"Kitty" absolutely is, though -- if you can safely swing a visit to a shelter, you're about guaranteed one of the adorable things will catch their eye even if they're currently fixated on a specific breed. Fluff in the hand right now is worth two in yesterday's pre-teen head.

... allergies are more of a concern, though. There's some fur types that shed less, but things get more complicated at that point.

e: rabbit, hamsters, and guinea pigs are all much more of a pain in the ass to care for than a cat, in my experience, though. Plus far more likely to be eaten by something. It'd just go straight for kitty, they're one of the lowest maintenance pets in existence.

IRS will also go easier on you if you're appropriately filing your income from scamming people, for what it's worth

Though the post this was responding to seems to have poofed, so eh.

It is only when you start linking biological research into genetics and brains to race that it becomes the racist canard you mentioned.

Like, it starts well before that, because intelligence as a concept has had major problems regarding bias in relation to race for pretty much its entire existence as a formal area of study (and well before, for that matter). It's a damn messy subject at this point on a bunch of levels. Things are marginally better nowadays, in some ways, but it's still a rough subject to try to navigate.

Last I paid attention the good faith researchers in applicable fields are currently in the process of basically tearing the whole damn thing down so they can rebuild it as something actually worth a shit.

... i'd make a joke there, but there's a nonzero chance some loony might take it seriously so I'll just... not.

Anyway, it was probably just the noodles with the milk and eggs making a super mild flavor plus not adding enough to offset that. The only thing with salt in the whole thing was the cheese (sub one serving) and the bacon things (reduced sodium turkey bacon and under a serving of the bits)... basically under 400 mg total, or thereabouts, if I had to guess.

I think a comparison would be if it were normal canned soup in the volume I made it would have probably had like... eight or ten times that much. Maybe more. It was two or three cans worth in volume and canned soup basically bottoms out at 400 mg per serving, with 2-3 servings per can, so, like. It was less than half a can of soup of salt in a pot with 2-3 cans of stuff. It wasn't going to be super strong to begin with, it was just that something about it went even further in that direction than expected.

e: anyway, I've hit that point in adulthood where you can't eat other people's french fries because they put too damn much salt on them

upside, I'm making increasingly mean homemade frenchfries. Right now, olive oil for the air frying part, pepper/paprika/saltless chilipowder for the seasoning. It may not have salt but I can eat a hell of a lot of these damn unsalted frenchfries in one go.

Also mr spice salt free honey bbq? It's a'ight! Not, like. Great? It's no sweet baby ray or somethin'. But it's okay bbq sauce.

e2: okay, let me caveat that: It's okay as frenchfry sauce. It's legitimately damn good on this (saltless) teriyaki basted sorta' hamburger steak (i.e. oversized oblong hamburger patty). Better on meat than potato, I guess.

I'd be pretty interested to see what pirating 3 games worth of inter-linked DLCs looks like. Pirate the base game, sure, no sweat. Pirating the complete Total Warhammer experience? Is that even possible?

Dunno why it wouldn't be, yar-haring DLC isn't exactly a new practice even when there's a pile of it. If someone can get the game data and crack/share it, that's all it takes. Most DLC isn't exactly some kind of magic devil trinket, pirating it works just like pirating any other sort of data.

Let's hope it doesn't mold her, probably?
