if Aella's post is the first time you've come across the "we should eventually eliminate wild animal suffering" take, i know which kind of post-rat you aren't
the "lemuring" meme will be generally destructive and harmful, piling on discouragement to people who are already insecure, yet there's probably no point in standing athwart memetic fitness, yelling Stop

when the movie ends there are three characters out of like 40 speaking roles that managed to survive the war their government started, which caused the deaths of not only all of their war buddies but also the entire city they were from
i finally got the joke. when the first guy says "looking good susan" she's smiling. when the second guy says "looking good susan" she is distraught. imagine if a guy said "looking good" to you while you were obviously upset and on the phone
