In general I agree that dogs must be kept in their place and be submissive to their owners.
I also have bitten pets before. A pet cat bit me once and I bit it back, the cat's facial expression was like "OMG WTF!"
But the particular dog I mentioned was an exception. He was special, and deserving of some privileges usually reserved for humans. He was more than a pet, he was a friend.

"There are those who believe that life here began out there, far across the universe, with tribes of humans who may have been the forefathers of the Egyptians, or the Toltecs, or the Mayans, that they may have been the architects of the Great Pyramids, or the lost civilizations of Lemuria or Atlantis.
Some believe that there may yet be brothers of man who even now fight to survive - somewhere beyond the heavens!"

I had a border collie/black labrador mix. This was the smartest non-human animal I have ever known. He was also manipulative and sometimes an asshole.
For example, he would go to the door and signal when he needed to go outside to pee (no one taught him this). One day he wanted to lay on the couch but there was no room for him, so he went to the door and signaled. Someone got up from the couch and opened the door for him. He quickly ran and sat on the vacant spot on the couch. He then made a facial expression that seemed to communicate "ha ha dumbass I got your spot." We let him stay there.
He also understood the english language, not just command words but naturally spoken phrases. No one taught him that. He was a doggie Einstein.

Mosquitoes do not make up a substantial part of any creatures diet. Even bats do not depend on mosquitoes. Bats eat beetles, wasps, and moths. Mosquitoes make up less than 1 percent of their total diet.
Studies of areas where mosquitoes have been eliminated show no major ecological disruption. They are seasonal anyway. Mosquitoes (at least the ones that harm us) are a blight on the world and should be eliminated.

I have visited asian massage places before and gotten full-on sex. I have also had sex with a dancer at a strip club in the "champagne room" (Chris Rock is wrong). The women seem to be acting on their own accord. Why is this illegal?
If you are unable to legally sell something (that is legal to posses), do you own it?
If you can not sell your body (or access to it) then you do not own it. You are owned by the government.
Forced prostitution certainly should be remain a crime. But willing prostitution and it's promotion is a victimless crime.
The proposed law does nothing to stop forced prostitution, instead it's going after bystanders (Backpage, etc) so the government can pretend they're doing something. Dont go after the prostitutes or the customers or the bystanders. Go after organized crime that is forcing people in prostitution.

First, anyone who thinks any cell phone is better than a DSLR has no clue how to use a DSLR, or has never used a DSLR for serious photography. Maybe their style of photography does not require a DSLRs capabilities, but the photos will still always be better with a DSLR. It's the physics of sensor size and optics.
As to Apple vs Android, I've used both and Apple cameras suck a bag of dicks. I find that Samsung phone photos clean up and augment nicely while Apple photos are just a mess if pushed even slightly.

I was excited about APFS, but now I wonder if Apple will couple it to some technology only present in Apple SSD's.
I'm running a Samsung 850 Pro SSD in my 2012 MBP and it's awesome. But I can foresee Apple saying "how dare you use a Samsung product! No APFS for you!"

Back in the day we could walk into a building, called a "store", find what we wanted and buy it. We didnt have to wait for delivery or pay extra for faster delivery. You had your product immediately.
Now people sit in a chair at home and spend hours searching websites looking for products. Once they find what they want they spend money they dont have (credit) and wait days or weeks for it to (hopefully) arrive. Or they pay extra to have it delivered quicker (hopefully).
Meanwhile, there is a WalMart within walking distance. I can go there and get my product NOW, probably for less because I'm not paying extra shipping. And if WalMart dosnt have it, I have a device called a "phone" I can use to contact other stores and ask them if they sell my product.
Kids these days think it's a convenience to wait for a delivery. You know what's convenient? Going to a store and getting what you want NOW.
And get off my lawn!

As someone who has cleaned public restrooms I can assure you that the mens room is cleaner than the womens room. Females are just nasty.
Sure, men leave pee drops on the floor or seat, but pee is usually sterile. Women leave all manner of fluids, solids, and gooey substances everywhere. And some women do miss the toilet. I presume that's caused by them hovering above the seat because they know how disgusting it is.

The S5 was the last good phone Samsung made. It does everything I need. Why upgrade?
