Drawing comparisons between Caitlyn Jenner and Rachel Dolezal is a disservice to the transgender community. And making jokes about 'trans-ageist' or 'trans-speciesist' self-identification is, to put it mildly, not funny.

I prefer flying, H likes to drive. He won this time since we got pregnant and have multiple stops to make to visit family (damn airfare prices and fees). I hope he's ready for all the stops we will be making for this pregnancy bladder.

I agree that I prefer flying to driving, except when delays get bad and you sit in an airport for hours (especially when you can't drink to pass the time).
Starbucks is definitely overpriced but I don't actually like coffee so sugar and milk with a smidge of coffee is good to me.
I haven't posted in months. The people who are constantly on there, sharing every little thing they see or "liking" every image in an album have ruined it for me. Add to that forgetting a birthday or someone got sick or a friend's sister had a baby, and I just have no desire to be in that deep. I really should just deactivate. #overexposure

@littleliverpill, If your #1 is unpopular then I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
Also, +1 more because dogs >>>>>>>> cats. Cats are assholes and people think it's hilarious. They're like "OMG my cat is such an asshole hahahahaha." wut?
Meanwhile, my dogs snuggle and love to see me and mind their own business when I need them to but always come to me when I want their attention. Dogs are the best.
But I prefer cats over dogs in general. But I'm kind of a cat whisperer.
I dislike all coffee. I do not understand the big fucking deal about Starbucks.
Now for a real UO (maybe): I think I might be a bit of a free-range mom. Hovering over your kids every second doesn't seem healthy, for the kid or the parent. I don't really see a problem with a 9 year-old at the park alone, if the park isn't that far from home, though I know plenty of people would freak out. I don't see why kids can't roam their neighborhood without the cops picking them up and accusing the parent of negligence. I think people have gone way too far with the whole surveillance society thing and we're doing children a disservice for it.
Non-slobbery big dogs who don't eat things off the counter and small non-yappy dogs > other dogs > cats
I happen to be quite partial to my two awesome 18 pound dogs. I used to be a committed big dog person until I had one who was a giant pain in the ass. Now I will never again have a dog big enough to help himself to things off the counter.
There are always exceptions but I have met to meet a little dog without an inferiority complex. Stop barking at the wind and get the hell off my lap!

Now now, don't make blanket statements. Some cats are very sweet.
Now, people are assholes, and they raise asshole cats.
Hahaha... uh oh. This isn't going to go well for me is it?
I feel the same way about any other blanket statement about one pet being better than the other.
I grew up with two cats - one of them was amazing and cuddly and loving and the other was kind of an asshole. /anecdote (to show that some cats are different from other cats).
I never had a dog growing up, and was thrust into a family full of labs. They're pretty awesome - the ones in my husband's family. I have a French Bulldog (a small dog) who is the sweetest, funniest, cutest, non-barkiest dog on the planet. /anecdote (to show that both big dogs and small dogs are cool).
I'm just NAF of those blanket statements. And I take talk about small dogs personally because Frank=LYFE.
I realize that most dog issues are not dog issues but owner issues. I know a lot of crappy owners. I'm starting to dislike most dogs I meet, honestly.
Ding ding ding! If people would do some research before buying/adopting a dog, they would do a much better job of raising them. Certain breeds often have certain tendencies (Ex: Border Collies are very active and need tons of exercise and smart-dog games to keep their brain busy) and if you don't know what you're doing, it could be that your misbehaving dog is just acting out of boredom or stress. Education people, it's important.
My H and I have very strong feelings about how pets should be raised. #1 rule for both dogs and cats is: Hands aren't toys. Never use hands as toys. You know that person who has a cat who attacks your hands or feet anytime you move? It's because they taught them that it was okay to do that when cat was a kitten. Cats that get into shit they shouldn't think it's fine because they were never taught not to -- you have to remove and re-direct. Remove and re-direct, always. Crate train your dog. I could go on and on.
Maybe my UO is that most people are stupid pet owners. Now, mine aren't 100% perfect all the time but they are all as sweet as can be, the dog doesn't bark inside the house and the cats don't attack strangers or hide when they're around.

^^^^ This.
My bunny is more of an asshole then my cats. My cats are fucking awesome. They just have their own personalities and aren't afraid to show it.

I agree with that, but with some restraints.
I live in a very quiet suburbs and I don't see a problem with my kids going to the park on their own. They'll also walk to school since it's very close.
Deep in the city, I don't know if I would feel the same. I know that there are creepers and people with bad intentions everywhere, but it still is how I feel.
