Let's settle this once and for all.
Much of his work is simply impressive, to be honest. One thing I like is that it provokes the rage of the trannies in the paleoartist community.

It is theft, laziness and mass produced slop for IQ deprived goycattle who are devoid of an actual soul and need mass produced algorithms to pump out mass produced slop because their measly subhumam ape like IQ can't grasp the odea of propper artistic endeavor. The people who use it (I.E subhumans from the lower swarthy races, poor "people" and low IQ uncurious and uncreative retards ) are the lowest rungs of society and should be forcefully sterilized for the betterment of humankind as a species.

Using AI means you are too lazy or have zero taste to actually go after real art and comission an artist or become an artist yourself.

I.E you're a spiritual nigger

Cat training is older than you. Lovecraft was just an impotent gay man incapable of exerting dominance. His entire life was spent between shame, fear, and posing as an intellectual while burning through his inheritance.

I train cats. I keep them inside. I make them use cat trees instead of couches. I control the red dot and the catnip supply. I hold the leash. I affix the harness. I decide who is in or out of the carrier. I give the baths and schedule the vet appointments. Cats appease me, or are made to appease me. I am THE CAT MASTER.

>>5154596
Cats are domesticated they’re just stupid so they dont have the self awareness and theory of mind to mentally want things or try and figure out how to communicate with you. Cat intellect peaks at meow=get food/attention. Everything past that has to be pure, rigid conditioning.

If you know your training cats are MORE obedient than dogs. A dog like a human is capable of refusing to obey despite the rules of operant conditioning saying that any rational animal must. This is why people who wish to control dogs, humans, horses etc often resort to trauma as a means of control.

A cat is not capable of consciously refusing conditioning. They just listen. You simply have to train them clearly and consistently because you are punching commands into a wetware computer, not communicating with the higher mind.

Why are we as a society so behind on this fact?
You're taking an animal out of it's cruel and harsh natural environment and making it live life on easy mode. You're effectively a slave because you're responsible for it's wellbeing now.
Every reason against pet ownership you overcome with no tangible payment for yourself is proof this is out of a sense of kindness.
I found an interesting article recently listing off the reasons for and against pet ownership: https://mottpoll.org/reports/family-pets-pros-and-cons-kids
The top 3 reasons against owning a pet all have to do with things integrale to living and thriving in life. Reasons that if you ignore, a pet would be an active detriment to your way of life.
Why do you force yourself to have an animal? It's completely pointless in the grand scheme of things.
All pets do is combat the health effects of loneliness and social isolation. Nearly anything can replace that. Exercise, and human-human connection accomplish the same goal, if not better.

We are the masters of the earth, and it is our duty as the ruling species to dominate and rein over the other species that walk among us with kindness.

But remember, the natural environment for a dog is not only with a human, but anywhere and everywhere you can feral packs of dogs or dingos not living off of humans. They were bred alongside humans, but not to require humans to take care of them. Dingos are living proof of this fact of life.
And quite frankly, dogs in all actually are just barely brood symbionts. Feeding off of a host and draining their resources, while offering only a crumb of service on rare occasions.

Being a human = being a crab in a bucket.

Every man wants to own land, build, have a harem of wives, and produce many offspring, but other men won't let you have it because they can't have it.

That’s what people did, anon. You would boil a bowl of water and then scrub yourself with a rag until your skin was rosy pink. You see the same in Japanese anime where the lady is washing a guy’s back and she sees his huge penis.

Who is Jefrey (with one F)?

He was found abandoned in some bushes filthy and covered in fleas late one night in mid-July 2024. He’s all grown up, and enjoys car rides, climbing trees, going to new places, and most of all, his capybara. Some believe him to be a goblin or gremlin. Jefrey was named after the Pixies song “Space (I Believe In)”.

Jefrey suffers from mild ear-ectile dysfunction.

Originally posted him here back in July 2024 seeking advice for potential health problems due to his folded ears, some /an/ons wanted more of him, and so now you’re stuck with him.

Woah, that's my wolp pic! I got a new one from the most recent time I visited. My friend in the pic here was sceptical but everyone I invited ended up loving it. He ended up buying some hilarious stickers from the sanctuary that 100% were drawn by some 14-year-old deviantart furry, while I got myself a wolf shot glass.
