How about reread what I wrote?

I'm not a vegan; I'm not a vegetarian. I'm far too broke and dependent on other people to be so picky as to choose what I get to eat. My dogs are also not on a vegetarian diet, neither is the cat.

I am not making an argument for or against veganism, and especially not for or against a vegan diet for pets. I was explaining what the difference was between a carnivore and an obligate carnivore is. I'm also not the originator of this thread, in case you missed that, too.

Normally I'd try to be nicer and more respectful, so as not to further inflame a situation, but honestly, the transphobic dig at "people like me" screams of someone who isn't worth my time or respect. Be better. You can get your point across without needing to disrespect trans people and indigenous people. 'sfucked up

I missed the colon in that book title at first and was very confused about a book for their mother entitled "on looking eleven..."

That's not really the argument, though. Cats are obviously, objectively, and indisputably carnivores. The question is whether they are obligate carnivores. If they can live healthily without detriment on a plant based diet, then they are not obligate carnivores. If they cannot survive healthily on a plant based diet then they literally require meat to live, in which case they are an obligate carnivore.

The moral, ethical, and health discussion around feeding cats (both house- and big-) a plant based diet is beyond my scope, but arguing whether the cat is going to go for the tuna or the spinach isn't the point. They'll clearly go for the tuna. The question is whether they need that tuna to survive, or if they could live (healthy and happily) without it, if they could get their nutrients from, and be effectively tricked by, a plant based substitute.

That's really interesting! I'd be curious to see what other translations read as (especially ancient languages, if I were smart enough to read them), but in the NIV translation, you could absolutely read that as a call to eat only plants, and to care for the animals.

It could also be taken another, slightly more terrifying way, too.

If we assume what we're doing is right, farming and killing animals for food, and work backwards from there, the verses say that God made the animals, and gave us dominion over them. If we assume the way we currently treat animals and view them is how that dominion works, then when it goes on to say that God made man in God's image, it could be implied to say that man is to animal as God is to man.

Which could mean God is farming and killing us for God's sustenance. We're nothing but chickens in cages.

Did Randy Newman answer your question personally?

After Hank freaks and runs out, when he comes back to apologize there could be a wise, aged drag queen that explains the origins of gay rodeo! "I was there, in 73. The Yankees had Christopher Street day, and we thought 'well why the hell can't we have rodeo?'"

How do I submit this to the writing team behind the reboot? It would be seriously good.

The end could have the guys in the alley all snickering and calling him Backdoor Buckaroo, and Hank being super embarrassing but like "it was still the best goshdarn vacation I ever had"

'tis truth, friend. And it's absolutely fucking adorable. YouTube "popcorning guinea pigs" or rats or whatever, it's so fucking cute.

My GOD that would have been a good episode! Hank gets invited to a rodeo, says no. Tells Peggy, she's like "Go Hank, it'll be fun!" He says he doesn't like Rodeo's, they're just show and not real sport or something else Hank Hill-ish. Peggy convinces him to go, he has an amazing time, all the while completely oblivious to the fact that it's a gay rodeo. Makes a comment in passing that's completely innocuous, but in the context of a gay rodeo makes everyone think he's a power bottom. Gets the nickname "Backdoor Buckaroo," which Hank thinks is in appreciation of how much work he does helping everyone out behind the scenes.

The last day of the rodeo he invites the family and friends and Mr. Strickland to the rodeo, and Peggy explains to him what's going on, right before they announce a special thank you to "Hank 'Backdoor Buckaroo' Hill" over the loud speaker. Queue "ahhhh" scene

I mean, can also sort of get it the other way around, too. Like, she doesn't want a strange man she doesn't know back at the hotel with her. But also, 1, it's fucked to separate a family, it's screams of trying to get them into a vulnerable position, and also, she's clearly not trying to, like, house these people. Just give them a room for tonight, best case scenario. I do not blame Mama for knocking her down one teeny tiny bit, even if she knows she's a celebrity and probably not a human trafficking nutjob.

Yeah, it looks like she thinks she's so famous that of course they'll know who she is. The fake accent, the "not the husband just you and the kids", "this is dirty, leave it" all of it combined with the super obvious fact that's she's stoned out of her gourd make me think she thought she was doing a good thing... Like, she had good intentions... But you know what they say about the road to hell. She was stoned, and oblivious, and egotistical, arrogant, and of course white woman knows best... I know literally nothing else about her personal life other than this video and that she lives in Dubai now (both of which I learned from this thread). I'm withholding judgement for what a sober Lindsay is like, but this speaks to some sad shit.
