bill off the poop water again

I want to point out that this is something that’s been largely misrepresented to make it look like Bill is disagreeing with paying more tax.

He’s not saying her idea is bad. He agrees with more of his money being used to help people. He’s saying that most billionaires use “creative” methods to avoid paying the tax they should already, so to just focus on increasing tax isn’t addressing the actual problem, that many of these people should already be paying a lot more than they are, and constantly find ways around it.

https://www.news.com.au/technology/innovation/everybody-talking-about-tax-bill-gates-pokes-holes-in-extreme-tax-idea/news-story/48b324ddbf03e97ef5c7c69f1682f01a

The problem is, the headlines are very deliberately being written in a way to make it look like a smart guy like Bill is saying “AOC is wrong about everything”, when he’s actually saying “I agree with her idea in principle, but if you don’t close the tax loopholes, it won’t work as well as it should”.

Translation: Detective Pikachu won’t say the “fuck” word

You guys really thought Nin ‘Kid-Friendly Image’ Tendo was gonna let their second most recognizable mascot say the fuck word in a major motion picture?

they let bowser punch god in the face and had a an entire kingdom in the middle of an existential crisis as the world is coming to an end.

imagine if you were hanging out with your pals and you blurted out some shit like “it’s fucking dumb how you can’t buy just one shoe at a time,” and one of your friends was like “ha ha hang on” and they wrote that down on a piece of paper and passed it to a stranger on the street and that stranger passed it to another and then suddenly every single person in the entire city of topeka, kansas had read your stupid thought and the newspaper was like ‘LOCAL IDIOT WANTS TO BUY JUST ONE SHOE’ and every once in a while some asshole will just come up to you on the street and hand you a single shoe and be like “is this you? is this your fucking brand???? i hate your fucking guts. you disgust me.”

thats what it’s like to have a popular post on tumblr.com

especially since a store where you can only buy one shoe would be hella useful for amputees

I’m naming him Drosselmeyer after the villain of Princess Tutu


Once he’s here I’ll take tons of pics, also people are welcome to buy clothes for him and send them to my PO Box since it’s a requirement that he has warm clothes available to wear, otherwise he’d be a cold naked baby:

Jack Wilkinson
16055 SW Walker Road
PMB OR #172
Beaverton, OR 97006

He’ll be safely brought over with a nanny to keep him company on his flight. I’ve been saving up for over 10 years for this and I’m so happy it’s finally going to happen!

UPDATE: I just added an amazon Wishlist for him if anyone wants to get him stuff ahead of time!

the fact that daedra had to stop opening gates in black marsh because the argonians kept reverse-invading them is so funny to me it was just like

daedra: we’re invading

argonians: no, we’re invading

Daedra: invades

This cow is severely underconditioned.

This is not how a healthy lactating Holstein looks

I know dairy cows can be skinny looking… but that cow appears outright emaciated. And that means the calf is going to be underfed as well. Stupid ARAs clamoring about abuse when there is none and then celebrating abuse as ‘good’ when actually faced with it.

Holsteins are bred to metabolise everything to produce as much milk as possible, hence appearing thin. Checked out the FB page, literally been days since the cow jumped off a slaughter truck and gave birth, after being in the dairy industry?? Of course she’s not going to look the best. The whole point is the sanctuary saved her and her calf from being killed??? If you watch the video the calf appears fine in its movements and behaviour. What abuse is being done to a cow in an animal sanctuary??

The word sanctuary means nothing. Any place can call itself a sanctuary. Having an arbitrary word attached to their name doesn’t mean they take good care of their animals, as exhibited by 90% of ‘big cat sanctuaries’.

Speaking as an animal science major, this cow is extremely underweight. Yes, dairy cattle are supposed to be bony looking, and yes you’re supposed to see their ribs and hips- TO AN EXTENT. You should not be able to see her thoracic vertebrae arching up between her shoulders like that nor be able to easily see the divot in her neck before the shoulder. Also, the hips and rib are too sharply visible and her gut is immensely sucked in. She also has absolutely no fat on her chest floor, which should look full and a little boxy to indicate sufficient cover. Holsteins are also bred to produce more milk than they can feed to their calves alone, and her lack of productivity, combined with her physical state, is extremely alarming. I’m actually surprised this animal didn’t suffer from dystocia while birthing her calf or suffer complications related to what is obviously an insufficient diet. I wouldn’t be surprised at all either if this animal had a wasting disease such as Johnes ( which she could easily transmit to her calf). Honestly I’d also take the calf off of her anyways too so that she at least has a chance of surviving. It’s not feasible to maintain even normal bodily functions in that state for long, let alone try to feed a calf.

This is an image of what your average, healthy Holstein should look like. Notice how despite being a lactating cow, she actually has some muscle and shape to her and yes, while you can see her ribs and the point of her hip, you can’t see her vertebrae forming a sharp peak, and the transition between her shoulder and neck is smooth. She also has a bit of fat filling out her chest floor. I literally pulled this image straight from Wikipedia. That’s how easy it is to find an image of a Holstein in proper condition. A Holstein with udders like that is the least of your concern with the animal(and besides, even if allowed to naturally milk their calf, only beef cattle tend to have that small of udders- usually because they aren’t producing enough milk to feed their calf long term). The cow in the original post is perilously close to emaciation, and her body is sacrificing milk production literally to save itself.

vegans be like “look how healthy this cow is!”
