It is my opinion that we should be required to cite sources when pulling text from another site. Or when quoting someone or something. I do not agree with having to cite sources to show how you gained knowledge.

But they are like children of your own, so even the worst things aren't that bad and pretty much every other thing is an "awww" thing :)

@Sarov Yeah, if you just read the comments OP makes it sound like they took the cat to a vet, but if you actually look for that information, it's pretty clear they just assume the cat is healthy and never actually had a vet look at her, which is incredibly frustrating.

(You can edit posts as much as you want, but if you're going to constantly and repeatedly revert my correction of the wrong word because you're convinced you KNOW that word and mine is "made up," I'm not going to hold you in high regard.)

@AllisonC I agree, I guess all chat misses her. She was the cement of the chat, ensuring continuity.

@C.Koca Should make a meta post 'Lila You Can Come Back If You Want'. :P

It definitely shows you how we got to that word as onomatopoeia for the sound a cat makes!

In general, if you are only changing one thing and need to make style edits just to make it "worth it", I am not sure it needs to be edited. We are all going to have different writing styles, which goes along with all of us being different people. There are definitely cases where edits should happen, but I think the meta post covered those pretty well.

So true. Mine trained me, among other things, to give them treats. I trained them to sleep through the night, and one trained me to snuggle her instead of getting up when my alarm goes off. (Well that one wasn't so tough...)

It probably hurt at the time and he kinda probably likes the attention :D

I'm pretty sure you don't need gravity for all definitions of 'bottom'. If a cardboard box were floating in space with a 'this side up' arrow written on it, I think most people would agree the box has a bottom.

some anonymous user is doing a lot of tag edits. Could it be lila?

I don't have a cat, but if I did, it would know Java. Cats are naturally frightened of Python.

@Skippy The best protection against link rot is to quote the relevant parts, but I don't think stopping including links at all is a good solution. Link rot isn't that common, particularly when citing authoritative sources, and non-rotted links are very useful.

Q: I'm stepping down as moderator

Yvette ColombI recently stepped down as Moderator on Pets with some sadness, but overall knowing it was the right decision. Being part of Pets when it first launched and putting many hours of contributions into the site it feels a little like a baby to me (and I'm sure many other users). When I first came ba...

But considering that I used the capillary effects of a tiny paint brush (and carefully administered drops via syringe) to create a makeshift “baby bottle nipple”, it probably shows the challenge of feeding such tiny pups.

"are still [...] guilty [...] because [...] benefit" Okay what. That is not how guilt works. Alice steals from Bob. Charlie murders Alice. Bob benefits from murder. So Bob is guilty of murder?

"Telling White people that they do not exist" ...Um. Okay, let's first replace 'White' with 'Privileged', since this thing claims it's not about race. But privileged people still exist. If they didn't... then what are people even complaining about? And in the first place, if you claim it's not about race, why bring colour into it in the first place?
Jun 30, 2021 13:40
"Rewriting history" ...Um. Yeah, history is 60% wrong, but if you rewrite it, it's going to become 100% wrong. Einstein was German, not African. Claiming otherwise would just be dumb.

but less rep users dissipating rep to more rep users is definitely against thermodynamics :)

@lila Try mood music.

Really? Given how much you seem to know about them, I'd have assumed you'd have like a billion fish-babies.

How about when a comedian tells a joke s/he heard somewhere else, or developed with help? Does s/he need to provide a list of sources to perform?
Jun 29, 2021 15:38
Not all things.
When someone walks by you in the morning and says "Good morning", do you discredit the greeting because s/he didn't source the first instance when that greeting was made?

@AllisonC In this message and the following messages in the exchange between you and @Sarov you both hit the right notes. I am wondering the same things all the time. I get the impression that people start to invent new, artificial problems once they get too comfortable. How many more normal, innocent people have to be sacrificed on the unholy altar of political correctness? I am really tired of having to constantly walk on linguistical minefields ...
Jun 29, 2021 12:24
...and being afraid of speaking. It is literally what Sarov noted: it is as the language itself starts being used as a weapon in the context of usage of all those "-ism"s and "-phobia"s: to immediately destroy the reputation of people and ostracize them. It is progressively getting so overused that "-ism" and "-phobia" labels are being handed out more ...

...freely that candies on Halloween to the point where they had lost their original meaning; at this point, they have been diluted and used just to intimidate and scare people from raising certain subjects and silence them.

We now have 3 people with yellow tag medals for and 1 person with yellow tag medal for . And before November 2020, we had only 1 total!

Wow genius idea! :D

My suggestion is simple: a pregnant platy! Half the people using this site would get their answers just by looking at the logo
Jun 25, 2021 17:41
Btw I was going through the logo suggestions and I loved the dog smelling their own butt through a portal logo :)

@lila Does the beast in you want to howl at it? ^^
Jun 24, 2021 00:27
Well yeah. If she were impressed, it'd be a circle, not a cone.

Do you want me to do some graphic art for this? I can do it, but I need ideas.
Jun 22, 2021 16:58
Why don't you post PetsSE ads on community ads?

Are you a professional artist?
