#dog food politics

Raw feeder: Dogs are carnivores because they share 99% of their genes with grey wolves. Me: That's not true. Dogs were fed porridge. Only the aristocrats could afford to give their dog a meat-rich or fat-rich diet. You can check farming magazines for recipes for grain-heavy dog porridge. The only time you find meat-rich or fat-rich diet are in hunting magazines for the upper class. Raw feeder conspiracy theorist: The idea that meat was hard to get had been a political message sine the 1950s based on a study that only track meat sales that crossed state lines.

Holy fuck. So, everyone I know with families passing down memories of the famine years during 18th, 19th and early 20th century as well the post-WW2 economic recessions during are lying

Like, half of my friends remember dreading pea-soup thursdays during the 1980s and the 1990s before that was finally dropped in 2000s and 2010s. And most of them come from families who still tell tales about the hunger years of 1860s and 1910s to 1930s. Like literal stories and recipes about making bread from pine bark flour [archived]. Just say you hate the working class.

Political ads: My opponent has jacked up taxes every year since he was elected!

Me: Which taxes? Income? Sales? Property? Business?

Political ads: I promise to hold the line on taxes!

Me: Which taxes? What government programs do those taxes contribute to? What gets cut if the lack of taxation causes a deficit?

Political ads: Think about the taxes!

Me: WHICH TAXES. WHICH TAXES ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT. TELL ME WHO'S ACTUALLY GETTING AFFECTED BY THESE TAXES YOU'RE SO CONCERNED WITH.

Reminder to always ask what it is that people aren't saying in these ads.

A lot of them want you to think that it is your personal taxes as a working-class person that they're talking about. But if it's taxes on the rich that they're "holding the line on," then they're using your desire to survive with a greater portion of your own income as fuel to keep the upper classes from paying their fair share.

I keep getting the same three or four political ads (half aren't even for the district I live in) and I'm frustrated that they use these transparent tactics and that there are probably people that don't have the time or background to take that moment to go 'what are they hoping I hear in this? What are they actually going to do?'

"My name is Alaa, I am a Palestinian mother of two children: Maria and Hamza, as well as a wife and daughter... After 7th of October, my life turned upside down due to the war on Gaza. On the night of October 28th, the neighborhood we lived in Gaza – the neighborhood where my children grew up and where we started our family – was completely bombed... That night, my children and I witnessed unimaginable things – from casualties to bloodshed and bodies.

The suffering didn't end there. We fled... As evening approached, the bombing intensified in the area... We lost our ability to see clearly and had difficulty breathing, so I had to put wet masks on my children's faces in a desperate attempt to protect them. Their screams and fear didn't stop. I didn't know if we would survive. I held them close, trying to calm them, while sadness crushed my heart...

Eventually, we were forced to flee to the south... Rafah was overcrowded with displaced people, and we could only find a small tent lacking the necessities of life. My children suffered from epidemics and skin diseases caused by the pollution in the camp. Unfortunately, my little daughter Maria was infected with viral hepatitis due to the shared bathrooms in the camp. After miraculously escaping death with my children, I realized there was no safe haven in Gaza. With multiple displacements, we faced the harsh reality of lacking basics like water, food, and medicine, and the inability even to perform basic activities like bathing, eating, or accessing clean water.

We lost everything: our home, our jobs, our dreams. My biggest worry is for Hamza and Maria, their future is uncertain. Where will they live, study, and grow up? Gaza offers little hope now, as the essentials of life are being destroyed. My children's future seems bleak, overshadowed by uncertainty.

Today, I ask for your help. I ask for support for me and my children to recover from the traumas of the war we experienced. To have a new warm home for my family, to help my children go to school and get decent education, and to assist us in starting our lives anew. To live from the beginning once again. Your support is our hope and our future for a new chance in life for my children. Thank you for being a part of restoring hope and stability in our lives."

AMAZON HAULT DISSCUSSION

Everything is less than $20 (much less, for the most part) and items arrive in one to two weeks, going completely against the grain of the company’s larger push for faster and faster shipping times.

From a business perspective, it’s a sector that the Seattle-based e-commerce giant could no longer ignore. With Temu’s U.S. e-commerce market share projected by eMarketer to grow from 0.7% this year to 2.3% next year, Haul seems like an obligatory experiment for Amazon, at least, and maybe a critical long-term move.

For now, Amazon Haul is mobile-only.

The best way to access it, in my experience, is to search for “Haul” in the search bar in the Amazon app. It’s filled with the tricks of the trade from this e-commerce genre, with playful language encouraging you to buy enough for free shipping, and more nudging after that for additional discounts.

As a member of Generation X, I’m probably not in the target demographic. (OK, definitely not.) I’ve glanced at Shein and Temu in the past, never actually ordered. I’m not a regular TikTok user, let alone an aficionado of TikTok Shop.

That said, I’m a longtime Amazon customer and Prime subscriber, like much of the U.S. population, so maybe I’m representative of the company’s opportunity to introduce these concepts to its larger customer base.

Here are my off-the-cuff thoughts after my first Amazon Haul experience.

This is a lot of crap. Scrolling down the list of items such as $4.99 wrist straps for weightlifting, $4.99 silicon dish drying mats, $2.73 oval shoelaces for sneakers, and $2.99 decorative outdoor solid throw pillow covers, it felt like rooting through abandoned items in the back of a warehouse — which might not be that far off.

My cart had lots of “lonely vibes” for a while while I tried to identify enough items that I would actually use to reach the $25 minimum needed for free shipping.

I ended up using the search bar to find items such as a $1.99 six-pack of adjustable cable organizers, an $8.79 pair of mesh zipper pouches for office supplies, a $3.99 desktop cell phone stand, a $6.99 small screwdriver set, and a $5.99 electronic cable organizer and accessories carrying case.

Yes, that was quite a haul! OK, I’ll admit I’m not immune to the dopamine that comes from treating shopping as entertainment. Looking at my cart, I was starting to see the appeal. My subtotal was $27.75, and the grand total after tax was $30.62, with a promise to arrive sometime between Nov. 21 and Nov. 25.

I can’t remember buying five different items for $30 on Amazon in the past. And it’s kinda fun to know that I’ve got various products arriving in a week or so. I’ll probably forget what I ordered in the meantime, making the experience more along the lines of receiving a surprise gift from myself.

With no small amount of guilt about the implications of modern consumerism, and recognizing my contribution to the demise of humanity, I could envision making a monthly (or weekly?) Amazon Haul order if the browsing experience was more tailored to me, and it wasn’t so tough to find items that I would want to buy.

Which leads to my last big takeaway …

Amazon Haul isn’t yet leveraging the company’s biggest strengths. The beta of Amazon Haul is largely disconnected from the existing Amazon shopping experience, as of now. The company clearly isn’t using what it knows about me and my buying/browsing history to target items to me that I’d be more inclined to like.

From the outside, given all the company’s expertise in e-commerce, this seems like a trivial enhancement to make, and one that could dramatically change not only the experience of using Amazon Haul but also the volume of orders.

In the meantime, I’m looking forward to trying out that cell phone stand and adjustable cable cords in the next week or so. I’ll post an update about the receiving experience after I get my first Amazon Haul. Credit : Seo Blogger _____________ Start With Amazon Haul Here !

on taco night at the wheeler house karen had to make a tiny separate batch of unspiced unseasoned taco meat for mike because he would insist that the normal taco meat was too spicy and would REFUSE to eat it and then when it came time for everyone to build their tacos mike would get two (always two!) and proceed to fill them both only with his Sad Unspiced Taco Meat and some shredded orange cheddar cheese. the cheese could not be melted though or else he would not eat it. occasionally he could also be persuaded to have some slices of avocado on the side but only if there was absolutely no brown on the avocado. and then he'd also drink a glass of milk with it. this was a weekly occurrence for the first decade of mike's life and to this day he refuses to eat tacos any other way. thank you and goodnight.

Hi 👋, My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future.

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤️‍🩹

There is this raw-feeder who keep trolling veterinarians with questions which are super-specific to endurance-bred sled-dogs, without saying where she got the information from, when the videos themselves are about inactive dogs and senior dogs. So I called her out since I know where she got the information from (which is irrelevant to most pet dogs), and she just deleted the whole thread along with other comments from other folks correcting her assumptions about the video uploaders. Then she just reposted the original comment without editing and pretended the original thread of folks explaining to her that the videos are about older dogs with age-related conditions, disorders and diseases never existed at all. So, you're just trolling?
