I need to know whether they like animals.

So grateful to everyone in the comments who use them. Thank you all! Where i live most don’t use them. I don’t get why; aren’t these people annoyed when others don’t use the blinker?

I consider men who call themselves alphas as software versions; not worth it yet to bring out as stable programs

Lots of things already mentioned, but to add: Be careful playing certain sports. Damaging your joints frequently can also lead to osteo arthritis or make it appear earlier.

I do and it’s not even my native language. Even words like there, their, were, where, than and then, i have no issues with. One thing that does confuse me is with names, because that is used differently than my european country.

Greeting people or goodbye’s. Please don’t touch me, unless you are my child or pet. I was hoping the new covid habits of not shaking hands or hugging would become permanent, but it’s back again. And i still have this reflex of shaking hands, instead of keeping my hands in my pocket.

Great, then it will starts actually making pizzas filled with glue

A receding hairline, apart from genetics, might happen when you tie your hair very, very tight. A loose tail would not be an issue.

Or maybe they become little Elon copies

I mimic their sounds and am not ashamed of it :-) Whether cats, dogs, or birds, or the pair of wild crows i feed outside, it doesn’t matter. I even mimic the sound of danger that our wild doves make when they see a sparrow hawk. So, if i see one while hand feeding a dove, i point and make the sound and look up very obviously so they know there is one circling around our garden (but often they notice before i do).

It depends. Also, would it let humans give input, for better or for worse?

Honestly, that ear looks perfect, but the other one needs a massage; it’s too stiff :-)

I really think it’s a matter of context; how one was raised, what kind of people one interacts with, interest, etc.

I’m older and i know so much more than most of my age group. I learned a long, long time ago to not be afraid to try things out, my pc is not going to explode; to investigate when i’m stuck with some computer stuff; and i have adult kids who teach me things that i don’t know enough about or share their views. Some of the communities i subscribed to are about tech, FOSS, android etc. I’m always really open to boost my knowledge.

My two cents; I think it’s because you get lost in the story for even a brief time. And all stories are built out of human experiences and emotions. They are made to get some sense of distraction, or relief, or joy, or to change your views, or whatever the goal might be. Cartoons are no different.
Any story aims to get you involved; if you wouldn’t get the feeling of ‘being in the story’, you would not find it interesting and would look for something else.

I have had many pets and currently also live with two feisty forpus parrots. The female sometimes bites me (as every forpus owner will recognize) and i know very well why she does it; i am touching her aviary to clean, or to provide food or toys. It’s not that she hates me, but she is incredibly territorial. And i fully respect that, because i understand her. It’s not personal at all. She is learning though, nowadays she hardly ever bites anymore and she is starting to inhibit the impulse, for instance if she notices i didn’t want to touch her stuff but merely wanted to offer her a treat.

(But if a pet would tell me they hate me, i would want to know why and fully respect it)

Btw, i think chances are bigger that a pet would tell us: i’m so bored for a big part of the day, because i can’t read or scroll on a phone, rather then tell us they hate us…

Edited to add: parrots are not really domesticated yet. It’s only been a couple of generations since they live in our homes, compared to for instance our dogs.

I would listen to them and let them tell me what they want, what i can do better. Oh, i would explain to them why i would take them to the vet. I don’t need to tell them how much i love them, we don’t need language for that :-)

Dogs can be trained and sheep are great animals, haha!

I think every enthusiastic knitter has experienced this too, lol

I taught myself using videos and became - over years - an advanced knitter. My goal was; i want to be able to design and knit anything i want to, and i achieved that goal (not always flawlessly, but still). It’s fun, colorful, the knitting communities are great, and you will boost your self esteem, because even though you will make tons of mistakes (even at an advanced level), you will also learn how to fix them, or hide them. Edit to change teached into taught…
