I hear and share your skepticism, but I'm also skeptical of pushbacks to the ever-growing research and literature on the uniqueness and, well, "personhood" of animals. The more we learn about animals (see the article on HN ~2

For me, at least, It's just nice to see a perfectly useful, quirky "thing" on the internet that isn't monetized or having some ulterior motives. Hearkens back to that feeling of all of us being internet citizens and laug

I think I intuitively agree with you, but I don't think it's as simple as "just do X and don't do Y". It's akin to saying "Just choose to read a book. Drop heroin". We'd like to think we have suc

COVID was a possibility and if that was the case, I wanted to make sure he had medical attention. I couldn't ask him if his taste has diminished. All I knew was he was having sever upper respiratory issues.

As someone who just had a kid, I can definitely say the healthcare system and daycare are HUGE expenses that would make it financially tough to have another one. We've paid ~$10k in medical expenses up until now, and daycare is ~$2k a
