@Lupin21 posts that and ... it makes me want to hide under the covers in my bed.

I'm bothered by you're lack of respect for my dark heart and horrific intentions

Bah, I would never post that. However, I think this is perhaps close to what the OP meant by bother! 🙂

There were also the times I wanted to be a ballerina, an astronaut, a firefighter, and a zookeeper, clearly my desire to be these things trumps my physical or mental ability to be these things.

I wanted to be a ticket collector on the bus... (While back then they still had girls dressed in pretty cloth and short skirts with the perfect smile and manner next to the serious-looking bus drivers). She gave me some candies while I ride alone at age of 5 and I was sold!

My mom scolded me for that and said i would be poor and homeless for the rest of life. (She is so discriminated.)

Next thing I wanna be long-distance truck driver at age of 8! She scolded me again....

Now I realize UPS drivers make about the same as vets... Truck drivers make more? Maybe I should change my career again? Since I didn't want to become a vet until high school time so I won't be a good one? And apparently I will be a good truck driver...

Over the road truckers make bangin' bucks. My dad went to school to be a teacher, decided that rural high schoolers were all ****ty (and no corporal punishment anymore) so he quit and became a truck driver for almost 30 years.

Can I say something really quick?
1. No need to agree with people to respect them.
2. When people start getting defensive, it's time to stop because no progress will be made in the discussion.

3. There have been some interesting points in this discussion despite the frustrations and all that, so cheers to everyone 🙂

4. UPS drivers do amazingly well financially and they get holidays off.
 
My mom asked me why I couldn't just stop - really she meant stop typing, the keyboard I got for my tablet is rather noisy - and I was like "Mom you don't understand. Someone is wrong on the internet."

That xkcd strip was on my mind the whole time.
 
One of my favorite "someone is wrong on the internet" stories was when I got into it with a girl on FB about cats spraying. She insisted that female cats were incapable of spraying, but they could "mark" and they were totally different processes. She knew this from her animal science courses at some community college where one of her profs claimed to be a cat expert. I quoted Cornell CVM and suggested she took her prof's expertise with a grain of salt.
 
Someone I follow on tumblr is insisting on putting her cat on a raw diet. I asked her to consult with her vet before she does that and her response was "I'm doing my research on very reputable websites. I'm going to talk to my vet but I know I won't get support anyways." :yeahright:

You'd think so. I tried to emphasize that her vet might be against it for actual reasons, but she kept insisting that it'd be the best choice based on her "research"

i hope she doesn't get salmonella. I've had adult friends hospitalized for it

OMG... I get so pissed when I read those raw websites that say healthy dogs CAN'T HAVE SALMONELLA because they have an enzyme that kills it that humans don't.

Of course, by definition they are right.... if you are healthy, you can't be sick. 🙄

But seriously. Dogs don't get salmonella? Did anyone even bother to check?
Penn has a clinical trial studying salmonella in dogs... i wonder where all there subjects come from if dogs don't get it?

well dogs do tend to be subclinical. But that doesn't mean they don't get it and don't carry it
