Your idea of "fun and diverse" is enabling people with psychotic delusions by telling them that, yes, they actually are a zebra after all, when what you should be doing is encouraging them to see a psychiatrist
What do you want me to do? If I had titled this "The whole therians thing is stupid" then no one would know what the hell I was talking about, because no one knows these terms who isn't already a furry
No one knows what the fuck a "therian" or "otherkin" is. People do not use these terms unless they are already a furry. Everyone outside of the community just uses the word "furry". Is that less precise? Sure. But I'm not here to use technical jargon invented by a bestiality-centred internet community. Speak English
Sorry for having better things to do with my time then do research into the precise academic terms people with bestiality fetishes use to refer to themselves with. In everyday speech these people are "furries". No one knows what the fuck an "other kin" or "theradian" or whatever is. Let's speak English here bud
So the otherkin folk are really weird to me, but I dunno that they are clinically weird unless they truly believe their own shit.
If they truly believe what they say they believe, then it very well could be clinical and they could benefit from seeing a psychiatrist. Anyone who earnestly believes that they are literally a zebra is suffering from delusions
The Trump administration has also been holding meetings with the leaders behind the Alberta separatist movement ( source). At this point I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the US is performing a targeted destabilization campaign against Canada.
If you read my original comment, you'll notice that I said the US is far from perfect and I'm not a big fan. That said, it's an incredibly unnuanced take to think that literally everything the US does is evil. They do at least some things right, even if you want to argue that, on balance, they suck. And one of the things that they do do right is their protections of free speech. This prevents a situation where you can arrest people for protesting in support of Palestine, as currently happens in the UK and Australia.
Say what you will about the US. It's far from perfect. But their legal model for human rights is more robust than many of their peer countries. The fact that free speech is constitutionally protected there is good thing and the fact that free speech is dependent on majority support is a weakness of the UK system; that is, after all, how the UK got themselves into this current situation.
(I'm not American btw, and I'm by no means a big fan of the US. But still, you have to give credit where credit is due.)
The split seems to have started with the Epstein files and It's starting to grow. I'm curious to see how overt it will become. Will it simply result in lower republican voter turnout? Or will a high number of former allies in government start to turn on him?
Yeah things are really looking bleak over there. That plus their recent attacks on free speech (you can get arrested for supporting "Palestinian action") paint a very dystopian picture for the future of the UK
Are there any issues with having pet squirrels? Not that I'd want to adopt one for the sake of it, but if you have to rescue one like OP is there any issue with just adopting it as a pet?
