Can I train my dachshund to bury her shit instead?

Rule six: don’t be yappy! Bark like you mean it, but only when you need to! No one likes a yappy dog that barks at everyone all the time!

Well, if you’re doing self help for doggos, that makes sense.

A self-help book for cats would never sell, though; kittehs are too damn stubborn and self-satisfied to want to change.

That’s fair, although in part that’s my intent- too often people describe themselves as anti-PC in such a slippery fashion that the term has no meaning, serving simply as a cover so they don’t have to back up or evaluate their statements.

My own feelings on the matter developed as I learned to save my bullets, so to speak- as a teen I was very much in the “offend everyone at all times” mindset. It took seeing people I cared about take issue with that shit (and a dose of maturity) to realize that I wasn’t challenging the privileged, and by including the less-empowered among my targets I was only really reaffirming power structures and biased social norms.

All that said,

Yes plz

Mmm, Novia Scotia is a corner case, but so long as we don’t let the Newfies in this is an acceptable entry.
