  • Cat’s shouldn’t be left outside in the first place, because of situations like this.

    *“Cat’s shouldn’t be left outside because they’ll be crushed by a vehicle, eaten by coyotes, catch a deadly disease or purposely killed by shitty humans.”

    I can never understand why this is so often a hot take other than “it’s natural”, which is dubious at best. Leaving a cat outside by itself, without supervision and a harness is irresponsible and stupid. If you or your family do that, in a city, then make sure to have some “missing cat” posters pre-printed and always keep the picture up to date because that cat will likely not live a full life. Kindly keep any anecdotal evidence to the contrary to yourself, it stands for nothing.

    Maybe if you lived on a farm and you wanted it to keep the mice population down, but then there’s the environmental factor of how cats kill a lot of birds which stresses an already stressed population (and is maybe detrimental to crop health re. insects).

  • These dolls are training tools for predators – and unfortunately, sometimes the first step before moving on to actual abuse

    Are they though? Does this person have a background in psychology? No? If she did then she would know only pedophiles that are also psychopaths are capable of harming children. Paedophilia is the same thing as being straight or gay, there’s nothing they can do about it and going after these people is likely just a waste of resources and time and taking away tools they use to suppress their urges will only cause harm.

    A better use of taxpayer resources would be finding sites on the dark web that are used to buy and sell “unsocialised” children, like one that was somewhat recently found with mostly Canadian users that showed a high percentage of users were based in Alberta.

    Totally, it’s safe if you take care of the pan; however, if you ever get it above a certain temperature the coating will break down and that’s when there’s risk. Also as you said, how much forever chemicals are released into the environment during it’s production, and might I also add that those bits that go in and out are also in the environment forever.

    I suspect no one wants to hear about cast iron pans anymore lol.
