Please don’t do this.

A dog has a very strong predator instinct, and one little bite is all it takes to kill the budgie very painfully.

It looks very cute, but it’s a recipe for disaster.

I mean, they’re literally bred to grab birds.

Many professional trainers believe that hard mouth can be a hereditary affliction. When selecting a puppy, by all means check out the parents first. Still, there is really no surefire way to tell if a dog is going to be predisposed to damaging birds once it grows up. That part likely falls in the luck-of-the-draw department. There are, however, precautions you can take while training your retriever puppy that may help prevent the dog from developing hard mouth. Common sense applies in most cases.

It only takes one time being surprised.

It’s always a risk. Would you want your best friend to go into a polar bear enclosure alone even if the bear had never mauled anyone or acted like it wanted to?

It’s never worth the risk if you value the little bird’s life.

What happens when the bird lands on the dog’s eyes and scratches it? How confident are you that the dog won’t give a warning nip?

Furthermore, mammal saliva is toxic to birds. This is stupid in more ways than one.

Let’s play “guess the GOP response:”

  • They were breaking the law, so they deserved to die
  • This didn’t really happen, it’s made up to make Abbot look bad
  • I don’t care, do u?

Nikki Haley walks back Civil War comments after backlash ( www.cbsnews.com )

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley is facing backlash after she was asked on Wednesday what caused the Civil War and failed to include slavery in her answer, instead saying the conflict was about state's rights. On Thursday, she attempted to walk back the comments, saying that slavery was an "unquestioned" aspect of...

My favorite part of this whole thing was when she acted like this was a hard “gotcha” question.

It’s an easy question if you’re not a cryptofascist; she just didn’t want to take a public stand that would piss off the white supremacist faction that makes up the GOP base.

Its a perfect question for exposing the game that cryptofascists like to play.

[Texas Tribune] Federal judge bars Texas from enforcing book rating law ( www.texastribune.org )

House Bill 900 requires book vendors to rate all their materials based on their depictions or references to sex before selling them to schools. Vendors say the law aims to regulate protected speech with “vague and over broad” terms.

HB 900, which was approved during this year’s regular legislative session, requires school library vendors to rate all their books and materials for appropriateness before selling them to schools based on the presence of sex depictions or references. It also requires vendors to rank materials previously sold to schools and issue a recall for those that are deemed sexually explicit and are in active use by a school.

Man, I wanted to buy a copy of the Bible with all of the MPAA warnings printed on the front!

Contains a ludicrous amount of incest. Not for use by persons under the age of 18.

Although the Freedom Caucus statement does not specify the exact “cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon,” a spokesperson for the group pointed to provisions included in the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act in July. That bill would prohibit the Defense Department from reimbursing expenses related to abortion services, prevent health care coverage of transgender surgeries or hormone treatments, ban drag shows on military grounds, bar the teaching of critical race theory in the military, limit diversity training, and prevent the Pentagon from carrying out President Joe Biden’s climate-related executive orders. The House version of the NDAA passed largely along party lines and is dead on arrival in the Democratic-controlled Senate.

GOP: Support the troops! Unless they’re not Christian Nationalists, in which case they should have their lives destroyed by our bizzarre religious crusades!

Why are we treating asylum seekers like criminals?

They only arrested the fathers. Were the mother and child not criminals for doing the exact same thing?

This is cruelty for its own sake. Texas isn’t supposed to be enforcing immigration law.

Zombiepirate ,
@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

Your made up narrative is very entertaining, but you have no idea what their intentions are and the asylum law makes no distinction.

And again, it’s not up to Texas to enforce immigration law.

And again, why only arrest the father?

Zombiepirate ,
@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

Your assumptions are irrelevant.

The law makes no distinction.

Also, why would they only arrest the father if they all broke the law?

Also, why is Texas enforcing immigration law when it’s outside of their pervue? They handed the mothers and children over to CBP, so they know the proper procedure; why should they be selectively enforcing the law here?

Lookie here, we’ve got the king of Texas telling people who isn’t allowed LMAO!!

Like anyone takes the cock pretending to run the farm seriously. Puff out that chest and cock-a-doodle-doo! You look big to the other chickens, at least.

@Zombiepirate@lemmy.world avatar

Well, I guess if the King of Texas says it, it must be true LMAO!!

It’s so funny that you think anyone gives a fuck what you say about who is welcome. Look at you, special little guy! You’ve got a VEWY IMPOWTANT JOWB to do, keeping us all safe from the wrongthinkers LOL!!

Can I check with you on fashion advice, too? Do I need to buy a denim suit to fit in with y’all good ol’ boys? Or are you more about the white hoods? Do these chaps make my ass look too skinny? I just want to make sure you think I’m cool!

What sundown town do you run, anyway? Nothing funnier than impotant little men thinking they’re big shit.

Republicans’ only policy considerations are:

  1. does this increase the wealth of the .01%?
  2. is this a callous showing of cruelty towards groups hated by Christian Nationalists?

A ‘yes’ to either question gets rammed through regardless of anything else.

If by “perfectly illustrates” you mean “bait-and-switched two situations that are not remotely similar for cheap propaganda to appeal to right-wing dipshits who don’t understand the difference between attempting to mitigate generational systemic economic oppression and buying an impulse item,” then yes
 It did do that.
