Whether or not domestication in the first place was ethical can be argued, but in my view somewhat irrelevant now - in the world we live in now there are millions of cats, dogs, and others who are in need of a home and adopting/rescuing is a morally good thing to do. I would even go further and say those of us with the means have a moral obligation to do so.

Posts like yours do absolutely nothing to help.

edit: and I also often wonder if accounts like yours are a psyop to make vegans and animal defenders look bad.

Mastodon exists, currently, because enough people like it (and some of those people, myself included, like it in part because it's less Americanized than BS). Perhaps a Twitter replacement should be better than Twitter. Maybe for many people Mastodon is an improvement.

Strongly disagree. Bluesky is extremely American-centric and basically just a bulletin board of "hot takes". I find Mastodon much deeper, more engaging, and international. I'm glad I deleted my BS account and replaced it with Mastodon.

edit: However, I was never a Twitter user in the past

I'm actually in awe of how well these match.

I use Cinnamon but Gnome would be my second choice. I want to like Plasma, but every time I've used it there's some glaring bug. Last I checked (few months back) font scaling caused fonts to look like absolute garbage. I found the bug online, tried all the "fixes", no bueno.

I'm not going without scaling on a 14" 1080p screen.

Cinnamon and Gnome on the other hand: accessibility > large text. Easy. (Higher scaling factors can be found in font settings if needed).

Never gonna dance again

Floating feet have got no grip here

Wasn't easy to ascend

Still, I look pretty cool

I mean, it's probably not that difficult to rally like 24 people.

I kid, I kid.

Good going PEI :)

Downvoting because AI. Pierre does suck though.

I don't know what to tell you and I don't know why you're getting angry at me - I'm not prescribing language, I'm describing it and yes, I'm aware this differs in other languages and other parts of the world. The continental model we use has North and South America as separate continents, therefore you might as well ask me what to call Africans and Europeans together.

Anyhow, I'm not going to reply anymore since you're being kinda annoying, sorry.

You just said it. I'm merely desribing local naming conventions. call any Canadian "American" (in English) and you will get a puzzled reaction at best :)

At least here, it would be conventional to say North American, South American, or Central American.

Local naming conventions preclude the use of "American" to mean Canadian. "North American" would be acceptable.
