My house is full of spiders because I just wont poison them and I like how they kill the insects that all of the cattle land around me breeds. Doesn't make them pets. Ask my wife.
Get...to.....the moneyshot. WTF? What other idea is any of this doomed bullshit supposed to introduce? Start there, right there, without any of this doomed bullshit...? Yes, there is such a thing as a social construct. No, not everything is a social construct.
.....And?
And I'm saying pets are a social construct. It depends on the outlook of what people agree on socially.
You just said to ask your wife about the spiders.
If I did and she said yeh they are our pets my husband is talking shit, and if you and your wife were to specifically chose to pay attention and care for one of those spiders and call it Sidney then that spider that isn't a pet would now be your pet spider.
In reality your wife doesn't want them as pets so they aren't.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
