dogs get away with too much
Okay don't shoot me, I'm no dog hater or anything. I wouldn't say I'm a dog person, but to be honest, I'm more annoyed by dog owners than the dogs themselves. The biggest issue I have with dogs themselves is when they bark at or even chase me when I run through my neighborhood. Because of this I had to start running at the ass crack of dawn so I wouldn't run into anyone walking a dog lol.
Dog owners however, are simply the worst. Some, anyway. Their arrogance and entitlement is completely unmatched among pet owners.
And one thing that particularly annoys me about dog culture is the phrase "no bad dogs, only bad owners" when a dog does something objectively bad, like attack someone. In my mind, if we say this about dogs, then we should say it about all pets, but we don't. This grace is pretty much exclusively granted towards dogs when they behave badly. For example, a cat can hiss at someone or resist being touched or picked up and people say stuff like "This is why I hate cats" or even "Cats are bitches" but a dog can maul someone to death and suddenly it's "no bad dogs, just bad owners"
I don't know, I'm certainly no animal expert. But it seems very silly to believe that a dog is inherently incapable of being "bad" or doing wrong just because it's a dog.
Not to mention, a lot of people who love dogs hate children and even say they would rather share spaces like grocery stores and restaurants with dogs rather than children because children are "loud and annoying" as if dogs aren't lol. Not to mention sniffing, licking, sometimes urinating on things in public. Children are humans and dogs are not and yet dogs are held to a higher regard.
Anyway, I did not mean for this to be this long lol so sorry about that but thanks for reading if you read the whole thing lol.
TLDR: dogs get away with so much shit that other animals and children are criticized for, which is irritating to me lol

Why do mothers seem to have an obsession with their daughters weight?
This could be purely anecdotal but every woman I speak to/ work with/ am friends with has had some kind of story of their mother either indirectly or directly calling them fat. Or they will make comments about their body and or appearance. Even me, I have countless memories of my mother telling me to lose weight.
Why does this seem to be a common experience with daughters experiencing this from their mothers?

"Good morning" texts shouldn't be an exepcted gesture in relationships
I get that it's a sweet way of letting someone know you think of them first thing in the morning, but it should be an extra gesture not some "bare minimum" bs. I'll see people complaining that their partner or situationship doesn't text them good morning and some even call it a red flag. While it sure is nice it's a fairly trivial gesture and had no reason to be popularized, people dont have to start their day off by texting you.
EDIT : initially used girls demanding the texts as an exemple but I realize guys do it too, so now it's gender neutral.

Streaming and buying digital is a net good
Getting the bad news out of the way, you might not ever truly "own" your stuff but that's okay.
I remember pre-2010 when all I could do was go to shops and hope that they have the thing I was looking for. Most times, I'd come away empty handed or with something that wasn't even on my radar but I HAD to have it because it was too good of a deal to pass up or whatever.
Also remember feeling very passionately about a show, book, game, etc., loaning it to a friend, and they either never enjoy it or they give it to me in worse shape than I left it.
I've been like most people for probably 15 years now. I stream or buy everything digitally. I've never lost a license to anything. My house is nice and tidy. Stopped feeling like my walls were caving in on me a long time ago. I've had easier access to just about anything I'd ever want than at any point in my life. My digital library treats me well.
I could get rid of my PC, my Kobo, or any other connected device today, buy another a year later, and odds are it'd be like picking up where I left off. Maybe I don't "own" anything, but what I do have is more control over my environment and my money. And in the off chance I buy something on a whim and not like it, it's whatever. No need to stare at it all of the time. No need to try and sell it (I hate the second hand market. Way too many shady people.) Idk, it's all about pros and cons. Maybe I'll own nothing but I think I'm happier than I was during the good ol days.
