god i love reading about stupid drama in ancient greece. like there was an athlete named theagenes who was so good at every kind of athletic contest that when he died, one of his opponents would go to beat the shit out of a statue of him out of spite, but then one day the statue fell on the guy and killed him so the greeks took the statue to court for murder, convicted it, and threw it into the sea

actually i left out the best part of this story which is that a plague then struck and when people consulted the oracle at delphi she was like “well you’ve pissed of theagenes” so they had to go dig the statue back up out of the fucking water

psshaw:

Honestly, the main thing driving me away from social media these days is the same thing that drove me to the internet as a kid. I don’t want a child-proofed environment that’s braindead-easy to use! I want to dig and be rewarded for digging. Using a website designed to attract the lowest common denominator is suffocating and weird! I don’t want to be told “here’s what’s popular”, I want the space to set trends all on my own.

And I don’t want the people around me to be forced to look at what’s popular, either— because it landlocks people like me and my friends who do weird and specific things! I went online as an escape from incurious people. And I get that infinite growth needs infinite bodies scrolling infinitely, but god. It’s never gonna stop being a bummer that tech went from “don’t be evil” to “exploit human brain chemistry to make the line chart go up”.

I think it’s so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn’t have a job to do constantly

On one hand this is extremely fucking funny, but on the other hand, it really boggles my mind how many people punish their dogs for just… doing the thing they were bred to do.

Your husky isn’t “hyperactive”, it’s bred to pull sleds for 8 hours straight and you have it in a 400 sq ft yard.

Your English sheepdog isn’t “pushy”, it’s bred to herd sheep, and you have neither to space nor the herd to allow it.

Your terrier isn’t “nippy”, it’s bred to kill rats and your hamster looks a hell of a lot like one.

Your Catahoula isn’t “mean to animals”, it’s bred to hunt any and all animals smaller than it, and you didn’t acclimate it to your cat.

Your Lhasa Apso isn’t “yappy”, it’s bred to bark at any tiny noise and alert watchmen to intruders

Like Jesus Christ, if you can’t provide an environment where your dog can’t fulfill its literal life purpose, maybe?? Don’t get that dog??? And if you do, maybe know the breed characteristics so you can redirect those traits into more constructive outlets????

Both your most common doodle’s parts (labra and golden) want to hunt and retrieve water birds so the best suggestion I can give y'all is congratulations on your new duck hunting hobby.

#people will overlook the perfect breeds to suit their needs based on just their looks#and get a work dog because it looks cool
