Why do people find it so hard to believe that someone could take issue with trans-speciesism? Have you guys ever talked to someone irl before? Judging by the downvotes this is an unpopular opinion here, but 99.99% of the human population would agree with me about this

Also, I hope you’ll reconsider your views on furries!

The person I was conversing said their belief they were an animal was a furry thing, so that's the word I used in this post. Since then have been a number of comments here explaining the technical terms used to describe the different subtypes of furries. If someone just likes art of anthropomorphic animals then I don't take issue with that

The Trump administration has also been holding meetings with the leaders behind the Alberta separatist movement ( source). At this point I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the US is performing a targeted destabilization campaign against Canada.

Brilliant system. Couldn’t fault it.

If you read my original comment, you'll notice that I said the US is far from perfect and I'm not a big fan. That said, it's an incredibly unnuanced take to think that literally everything the US does is evil. They do at least some things right, even if you want to argue that, on balance, they suck. And one of the things that they do do right is their protections of free speech. This prevents a situation where you can arrest people for protesting in support of Palestine, as currently happens in the UK and Australia.

Oh, you’re an American.

Say what you will about the US. It's far from perfect. But their legal model for human rights is more robust than many of their peer countries. The fact that free speech is constitutionally protected there is good thing and the fact that free speech is dependent on majority support is a weakness of the UK system; that is, after all, how the UK got themselves into this current situation.

(I'm not American btw, and I'm by no means a big fan of the US. But still, you have to give credit where credit is due.)

In a court of law, the most the ant could get for this is manslaughter. Very likely though he would get off with a mere wreckless endangerment charge

The split seems to have started with the Epstein files and It's starting to grow. I'm curious to see how overt it will become. Will it simply result in lower republican voter turnout? Or will a high number of former allies in government start to turn on him?

Some heavy bass would still be cool though

Yeah things are really looking bleak over there. That plus their recent attacks on free speech (you can get arrested for supporting "Palestinian action") paint a very dystopian picture for the future of the UK

How active is it now compared to the good old days?

Are there any issues with having pet squirrels? Not that I'd want to adopt one for the sake of it, but if you have to rescue one like OP is there any issue with just adopting it as a pet?

What happened?
