I've seen it several times and I'm starting to think, what if it actually happened the other way around. Would not surprise me. Adult cats and puppies don't always mix well.

I know very little German, but why is it correct to say "mir ist" for some sentences and "ich bin" for others? I realize this is a totally random question, but I've always wondered.

[–]willkydd 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's the same thing as in "who owns this stuff" vs. "whose stuff this is", more or less. The difference is the case of the noun (or pronoun in the case you reference).

This property of nouns and pronouns is pretty much non-existent in English, save for a few cases. But it survives in other languages such as German. And it was probably most developed in Latin, where it probably comes from as a linguistic feature.

Another way to look at it... "ich bin" literally 100% means "I am", whereas "mir ist" means more like "something is done upon me". Mir ist kalt feels in German mind more like "cold is doing it to me"... this way at looking at things is reflected in the grammar.

EDIT: this stuff is pretty big in German. You probably have to get this well before you can speak German correctly.

Thank you, kind sir or madam. TIL. Although I think I lost all hope of ever becoming fluent in German when I learned there are at least 5 ways to say "the."

[–]sevlemeth 1 point2 points ago

saying "ich bin kalt" means that you are not interested in sex. true story.

[–]orange_kevin 0 points1 point ago

Well, not necessarily sex, it just means you're cold hearted.

This is why you should always adopt!

Every time you buy an animal from a breeder, you:

  1. take away the life the of a shelter animal
  2. Condone the animal you have purchased with genetic, pure bred defects
  3. Support breeders to contribute to overpopulation and dogs with bad genetics... aka this type of suffering.

There's a perfectly fit adoptable animal out there for everyone!

[–]peeviewonder 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

how about we focus on spaying and neutering. adoption alone cannot control the exponential function that is animals breeding. please spay and neuter.

[–]nomatu18935 14 points15 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

But if everyone did that, distinct breeds would no longer exist

edit: Here come the downvotes, so I'll elaborate. I think the vast majority of people should get their dog from a shelter. However, I also think breeders have a place in the world. Left on their own, dogs will mate more or less randomly. While that would reduce the rate of genetic diseases through hybrid vigor, it would also greatly reduce the variation in behavior and appearance that defines each breed. Throwing away a couple thousand years of selective breeding seems like such a waste since the variation between breeds is a big part of why people are fascinated with dogs.

On the other hand, puppy mills (and the shopping mall pet stores who buy from them) are the work of the devil. The dogs are bred specifically for mass consumption and most of them are purebred due to the higher price people will pay for a purebred dog. Unlike a good breeder, little or no consideration is given to eliminating congenital disease from the gene pool. The impact of independent breeders on shelter dog adoption is a drop in the bucket compared to the impact of puppy mills. In my opinion, puppy mills have no place in the world and should be the primary target of animal rights advocates.

Strikingly good point. I'm impressed.

[–]breezyfog 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I agree with you on puppy mills... but there are still too many breeders. Those breeders take away from perfectly lovely dogs that are put to death. I could understand "breeders" who do it once or twice EVER... but to deliberately increase the dog population, on a regular basis, for no purpose other than profit, makes me angry. I think it's selfish. If they loved dogs so much, they wouldn't be taking homes away from ones that already exist.

The only exception for breeders would be dogs needed for a very specific reason.... but still there are few good reasons.

idk, I think saving pets from a lifetime of genetic disease is worth giving up the shitty circle jerk parties that are breeder shows and associations.

[–]Kasdfkl 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

When breeding healthy dogs with health tests done you don't end up with all the genetic diseases. People don't seem to distinguish responsible breeding from "breeding because I want some money to buy a Tv".

then what happens to all those dogs from a breeder?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

supply & demand. reduce the demand --> prices fall --> less incentive to suppy --> supply gets reduced.

[–]Kasdfkl 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I posted a response to something like this a few days ago. TL;DR version of it : backyard breeders are the problem, not responsible breeders. Responsible breeders breed healthy dogs, rarely when there is an interest. It isn't a business but a hobby, health testing & vet bills usually outweigh pup sales. Backyard breeders are shit, they breed for money, don't give a shit about the dog and contribute to the overpopulation problem. There is nothing wrong with somebody wanting to own a purebred dog as long as they find a responsible breeder. If you don't have a desire for a purebred, or don't want to take the time to look for a responsible breeder, get your ass down to the shelter. Don't support those assholes that sell their designer "pommershitdoodles" or whatever on Craigslist.

If you think like that, you don't deserve any dog. You can get puppies from the pound... They would have the same upbringing as most pure breeds.
