Completely overblown title.

"what did humans do to deserve dogs"

We fed them scraps, bones, and unwanted infants for thousands of years until they forgot that a bunch of them could just eat us

There's like 8 comments in this topic my straw-chewing friend. You don't need to copy and paste yours again as if trying to get every iota of value out of typing so much pointless tired Facebook wrap-around sunglasses rhetoric.

Well, you'll be glad to learn that hotels in Muslim countries often do keep copies of the Quran.

I haven't tried to place copies of the Unabomber's manifesto in hotel drawers, but then again I haven't tried to get a small loan of $1,000,000 or the deed to an emerald mine from my parents because, as it turns out, you don't actually need to experience literally everything that you hold an opinion on. I don't like rape either, lads, and I'm not giving it a try.

The privilege is not that they are provided. It's that they are allowed by otherwise impartial hotels to be there, no questions asked. Can I leave millions of copies of The Quran? Of Ulysses? Of Industrial Society and Its Future?

Your bot keeps posting localised American general news to technews?

Not only is it owned by the same guys, it is the same paper with a few stories and photos changed to tone down British chauvinism and make it not immediately horrifying to an Irish person to read.

Are you counting by individuals or by volume?

Non-American here: was there a chance that RTO stood for Rostered Day Off?

We don't really use 'roster', and we can spell Day.

Why are so many people saying "Leatherman" as if it is a common term or globally known brand? Is this my first Lemmy ad?
