All CBS shows look the same to me. I watched the pilot of Strange New Worlds and I couldn’t shake the feeling that it looked like CSI: Federation. The color palette seemed similar. The quality of the CGI seemed the same (very soft and lots of flare). The camera rotates around a small crew being really quilt in a way that wouldn’t look out of place in CSI: Miami. I found it very similar in a way that was off-putting.
.......you're weird......

Monster veils are a poorly-normalized fight to attempt c*ck-poking.
attempting poke fight to veil mon c*ck is to poorly normalize.
(am I doing this right?)
I reckon so.
Wait so I'm not supposed to attach razor blades to Pikachu's legs?
Remember that part in early season 3 of The Wire, when they think they've caught Cheese copping to a murder, but he was really just talking about how upset he was to have to put down his Psyduck?

I ain't sleep since I capped his ass. I ain't never gonna find another dog like that.

Officer Jenny had been doing street rips for so long, she just wasn't equipped to go up against Prop Joe.
Hunter Biden looks like sober Jordan Peterson.
YEAH I SAID IT.
While doing a story about a dognapping today, I realized that I have a insanely hot-take about French Bulldogs.
Namely that they are brachiocephalic... well, what's a word for "monstrosity" that indicates the monster is the victim? I also believe they are evidence of the harm breeding can do, especially when humans care far more for creating the an animal for an aesthetic rather than its health (the same goes for what we've done to bulldogs, FWIW).
A situation where we've bred a dog to the point that it overwhelmingly cannot give birth without surgical intervention is just... I don't know how it's legal. It's awful.
I also prefer medium/large dogs, so maybe that's part of it.
All of the squashed-face breeds should really be disallowed. Such a blatant disregard for the well-being of the animal itself. Just get a damn Pomeranian or something, at least they can breathe.
Those seem less like hot takes and more like totally humane takes. Though I guess when it comes to the designer dog world, the venn diagram of hot take/humane take is nearly a circle.
Also, though it's not quite the same, I'm never going to stop pointing out that the creator of the labradoodle considers it his "life regret" and that he "opened a Pandora’s box and released a Frankenstein’s monster".
Dogs suck. Are they good for anything other than making messes?
Oh, right, eating up the rest of your leftovers before washing your dishes.

Ya, they're good for that, too, particularly when owners don't train them how to act around guests and strangers.

uhhh....okay.
I am surrounded by people who have told me they'd choose to save a puppy over a baby. Some of them I think really believe it.

Potentially all of human civilization. Early proto-humans who had domesticated canines had a competitive advantage over those that didn't, could bring down larger game more consistently and live in larger, more complex social groups.
While we were selectively breeding them for behaviors like not biting us in the face, they were selectively breeding us for the ability to coexist and cooperate with creatures that are very different from ourselves.
The dog gave humanity our soul.
Dogs suck.
Let's discuss the difference between a hot take and an objectively terrible take.

Well, there's your problem.

They're small enough that you can do both.
The 2d Zelda games* are better than the 3d Zelda games.
Except Zelda 2: Adventure of Link. That game's weird.

99% Invisible did a podcast on this recently called Cute Little Monstrosities of Nature.
https://99percentinvisible.org/episo...
They talk about the history of dog breeding and IIRC, bring up the Laberdoodle creator mentioned above.
Despite listening to this podcast, I was recently talked into getting a dog- she's a mutt and I love her, so I'm hoping all the bad health traits bred into her ancestry will cancel each other out and she'll have a happy and long life (that's how things work, right?)

I require more details from this scenario to make a final decision. Am I returning the creature to it's owner or is this an adoption scenario where I have to take care of it for the rest of it's life? What am I saving it from? I assume I can try to save both but one may need to take priority. How many stairs are involved? What age/breed is the creature? Can it follow basic commands?
It's a baby, of course it can't follow basic commands.

I mean, kinda. There's debate, but consensus seems to hold that mixes largely have fewer health problems and longer lives than purebreds (breeders, of course, insist the opposite...for some reason).

Do Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks count as 2D? From memory of the two, only the boat sections of Phantom Hourglass actually plays on a 3D plane. If so, they severely drag down the average. Like, 2D Zelda's have a bit of hit and miss, but 3D Zelda's have been all varying degrees of hits - no misses.
If I had any Zelda hot takes, it's that Zelda II: Adventures of Link is massively underrated and holds up today way better than the original does. Though having said that, Battle of Olympus does the same thing, but plays better.

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of knowing a fair amount of dog breeders. They all insist that longevity is something that should be bred for, but they all prioritise physical traits first, mostly because that's what wins the shows. Having said that, purebred working breeds are often quite hardy and stable.
