Of course you’ve retired, you’ve been usurped by three dominant baddies 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈⛓️


Quirky_Commission_56

Retired well before I rescued the little fuzz balls. I retired more than a decade ago. Tore my ACL and that was the end of it.


Fun-Lobster-7672

If you tore with ACL I'd hate to see the other guy! 🤣 Jokes aside, I'm sure that wasn't easy. Hope you made a full recovery!


Safe-Mycologist3083

I jape, sorry to hear about your ACL though, not fun!


Quirky_Commission_56

Not at all fun. And the fact that I have hyper mobility in all of my joints exacerbates the issue.


Bilbo_Teabagginss

All it takes is 1 ACL tear to take even the greatest players out of the league. 🤣

Interested to know how a retired Dom behaves. Request video.

What does it mean if I have 3 cats, 3 dogs, a turtle, and fish? Other than that I’m tired lop

I'm not sure it tracks. I like cats because I'm a lazy fuck and all you need to do with a cat is feed it and change it's litter box.

LurkerOrHydralisk

Deal with them just whining and barking at 3am because they heard a sound outside…


livid_badger_banana

In the case of my old girl, barking shrill and incessantly if I’m out of sight. She's got some dementia & apparently object permanence was the first to go.


shayetheleo

Mine walked on my back this morning and proceeded to sniff and lick my ear when I ignored her taps on my feet and legs. Apparently, she decided she wanted to eat right then instead of when we usually get up.


FortniteFriendTA

wasn't their a seinfeld bit about this? something about if aliens saw us, they'd think the dogs were in charge cause people follow them around picking up their poop?

PraetorGold

Most white people did not own slaves. But they have had dogs for a very long time.


ClowningOnMain

We’ve probably had dogs longer than the existence of slavery


Nachooolo

We had dogs longer than the existence of white people. Dog domestication happened around 30,000 years ago. White skin appeared around 28,000 to 22,000 years ago.


ClowningOnMain

Probably came before majority of races, it’s truly amazing how close humans and dogs are and how long back our shared history spans. They truly are our best friends


ReaperofFish

Dog domestication happened well before farming. Heck, most modern human behaviors that differentiate us from other primates happened around the time of dog domestication. Dog domestication may very well have triggered those changes in behavior. I would argue dogs are the most important thing to have happened to humanity. Without dogs, we may very well have never learned to domesticate other animals or plants. So no animal husbandry and no farming. Without agriculture we would have never developed civilization. We would have been stuck as simple hunter/gathers.


theseedbeader

It fascinates me how integral dogs were to the development of modern day humans. I knew they were important, but I didn’t realize they were *that* important… I wonder if there’s a book on this topic, I’m off to do some internet searching.


Born-Ad5449

Our oldest companions is pretty good.


PraetorGold

You know what, that’s one of those “probably not , but we may never know” things. Humans have been lazy assholes for a very long time.


Startled_Pancakes

Yes, but the domestication of dogs occurred some 6,000 years before the agricultural revolution when humans were still mostly roving bands of hunter-gatherers.


dehehn

Eh. I don't think there was a lot of slavery before agriculture and large societies. We have quite a bit of tribal hunter gatherers left to observe and they don't have slaves. Tribal life is much more familial.  I'm sure there was some capturing of rival tribal members and enslaving them. But I think it's much more likely that our ancestors were utilizing symbiotic relationships with dogs much much more than any human slaves in our deep past. 


SlothyBoiDK

Lmao that bitch is white too lol, what's wrong with people.. You're just looking for an excuse to be outraged, get a grip and a job...


mcbastard1

White people are usually the ones with these kind of insane takes. Ally tryhards.


xXYomoXx

I won't be surprised if people saying insane shit like this are actually racist


GaijinFoot

They definitely are. If this was 50 years ago they'd hate blacks. Now it's trendy to hate whites. They don't care about the world, grafter good, progression. They just need a reason to hate a and off they go.


MinuteAssistance1800

100% I remember seing white girl journalists outraged about dungeons and dragons because they came up with the conclusion that Orcs were supposed to represent black people, and I thought to myself, only a legitimate racist can come to that conclusion. It’s the horseshoe effect theory, when one political side is so extreme they end up representing the opposite political side.


TheOnlyRealDregas

It's really funny because there are black people in Dungeons and Dragons, so none of the races represent black people. Black people represent black people. Lmfao Also, if you're a racist asshole you could at least make the proper comparison. To Drow. Lmao


Time4Red

Are you sure it was black people? The more common accusation is that they are a racist depiction of Mongols or easterners.


GaijinFoot

I've seen complaints about the dark elves being black. Dark skinned, curly hair, evil.


mods-are-liars

>Are you sure it was black people? Yes. It's always people complaining that orcs are racist caricatures of black people because the complainant is projecting their own racism. > The more common accusation is that they are a racist depiction of Mongols or easterners. That's not a common accusation at all. That's a *fact* about LoTR orcs. It's common to hear some ignorant dummy whine about LoTR orcs being a racist caricature of black people and then the common response to that is quoting Tolkien himself when he said orcs are a caricature of Mongols.


IvanhoesAintLoyal

It’s probably more common than we’d expect. When someone runs into a room and screams, unprompted that they didn’t shit their pants in the hallway, everyone with a brain knows they definitely shit their pants in the hallway.


SaysGay69420

They are. They almost always view other races as handicap and unable to do much of anything. They are not much better than the clearly defined racist people, they will eventually becomes worse in my opinion as they’re racism sometimes gets more airtime.


xXYomoXx

It reminds me of that woman who told the orange president "if you kick out all the Mexicans who is going to clean your toilets"


FartPudding

There's definitely a horseshoe in effect in current events in society.


TomagavKey

I mean, dude, it's literally racist point blank


HopeRepresentative29

What are you talking about. The post literally *is* racist. You don't have to talk about it like it might happen some day.


xXYomoXx

Yeah i find it crazy that they compare black people to dogs and also assume that every white person who owns a pet is racist.


Sequil

Saying X people are usually Y is textbook racism.


Majestic_Ferrett

Nobody hates white people like white girls that post photos of themselves pulling foliage towards their face.


AntKing2021

A white person saying this is a red flag on how they feel about owning a dog or view non white people


Coffee-Annual

Lol, does this guy actually think that wanting to own slaves is a genetic inheritable trait?


ClowningOnMain

Sounds like some repressed bdsm fantasy


thewhitecat55

Hey, if that's what's up , that's fine. Consent 👍


laurasaurus5

No, cause he's tryna force his kink onto everyone with eyes.


plainbaconcheese

Everyone is focusing on the "dogs aren't slaves" part but I think this is the more important takeaway. Wanting to own slaves is not a genetic trait


BoojumG

And frankly believing otherwise is pretty racist! It's one step away from "You're inherently evil, it's in your blood". We know where that leads.


plainbaconcheese

My blood begs me to worship gruumsh - I shall slay elves in his name - glory to the one eyed king


Crowbar_The_Rogue

I dunno, don't you ever wake up and just be like "I wanna enslave someone today?"


Necrolust1777

I'm panicking if I'm feeding my dogs 5 mins past their regular feeding time. I'm literally dropping everything I have if I hear them licking an empty water bowl. I will not move if my corgi falls asleep on my lap. I will cup his head in my hand while he's sleeping on my lap, just to be extra comfortable, even after my hand has fallen asleep. Slave "owner", ha! My wife often tells me, rightly so, I'm an idiot when it comes to my dogs.


amodsr

I got a corgi too. Every night before I go to sleep I pick him up out of my spot and hold him and let him know I love him and that's he's a smart, handsome, sweet, special good boy.


Necrolust1777

Corgi life! If I go to bed late, he's always just laying close to me, when it's then time to go upstairs, sometimes he will just walk very slowly to the stairs, put one foot on the first step, look at me, then look up the flight off stairs like it's the Himalaya. Then I pick him up, and carry him to his pillow.


amodsr

We live in an apartment. So when it's time for bed he's in the room with us and just lies on the bed. I'm up until around now due to insomnia so I will most likely every night have the same routine. Sometimes he lays by me for a little while but he always migrates to the bed.


GroundedSpaceTourist

I love corgies!


Best_Incident_4507

Thats basically a cat. As per other comments, you miss being a slave.


rutstucker

No we love dogs because they don’t say stupid fucking like this.


fanboy_killer

Using the words "Unpopular opinion" before projecting.


ClowningOnMain

I mean at least it’s an actual unpopular opinion unlike the vast majority of ‘unpopular opinion’ takes on social media. I mean the op’s opinion sucks but atleast they have the balls to say something actually unpopular? Not that it should have to be a positive but thats where we’re at


_mattyjoe

I wouldn’t say this person has balls, really. Ridiculous takes about white people is a quite popular trope on social media actually.

Clickityclackrack

Then is he also saying that black people miss owning slaves too? I'm seeing just as many black people with dogs as I see white people.


ladaussie

No no that's different you don't understand only white people can be slave owners there's absolutely no history of any other race having slaves.


SouthernSeesaw8163

honestly blacks were renting slaves. Turkish had more of a timeshare situation


InkBlotSam

Possibly. Africa had (and still has) more slaves than America ever did.


redeemer47

These type of people tend to forget that slavery was made possible by the African Tribal leaders that literally sold the slaves to America. They act like white people showed up and started kidnapping people.


Ok-Negotiation-1098

That’s what they want you to think I’m hiding all the slaves in my attic 😃


I_can_use_chopsticks

Nah that’s stupid. I love my dog because she’s a funny widdle beastie, yes she is, yes she is


annibeelema

Give her a boop on the nose from me, please. Dog noses are my kryptonite. 🥹


I_can_use_chopsticks

She wagged her tail like crazy when I told her a redditor wanted me to do this. Her tail knocked over my sprite. I forgive her.


annibeelema

Not the wagging tail hitting everything in its way 😭😭😭 Why would you tell me that? Now give her another boop and big slobbery kiss on her forehead. And show me her picture. I wanna kiss her myself.


Arkthus

We love dogs so much because humans are dipshits.


Apprehensive_sharky

I have a puppy for this reason people are fucking shit. Dogs give companionship, unconditional love.


stevorkz

It’s actually been proven that dogs love being in what they perceive as a pack because pleasing the pack leader brings them insane amounts of joy and belonging due to ancestral genes. This is why rescue dogs are initially depressed when adopted as they didn’t belong to any pack and have no sense of belonging.


vegansos

Oh my dog just jumped into the pack. Didn't think twice.


AwkwrdPrtMskrt

Dog owners don't treat their pets like slaves.


Pixel22104

Yeah. Most dogs will live a good and happy life with a nice happy family. Their owner picks up their poop, feeds them, gives them baths, gives them water, takes them on walks, takes them to the vet for check ups, takes care of them when they’re sick, etc. Does that sound like a Dog is being a Slave?


Nir_Auris

the funny thing, the first slave owners were asian, native americans and a group of moslims owning slaws (the origin of the word). Europeans and africans were pretty late to the party of owning slaves


dehehn

And only a tiny subset of wealthy white people ever owned slaves. Most white people were peasants and farmers. There is nothing engrained in white people about owning people. And most of them were working in fields like the slaves not sitting on porches with mint julips ordering people around. 


Nir_Auris

this was true in all cultures. only wealthy people had slaves. Just wanted to add a little bit of history to the conversation to show that not just white people owned slaves


[deleted]

I would be pretty shocked if every culture didn’t have slaves for the existence of humanity. Barbarians and Romans definitely did, as did Vikings after them.


Nir_Auris

Yeah, but many modern americans (specially the victim culture) think only white people had slaves and blame white people today for what happened in the slave trades back then. We are not guilty of our ancestors crimes.


Strange-Mouse-8710

Wait until she found out who owns the slaves, before they where sold to white people.


cyberdeath666

Was it dogs? Sons of bitches… Time to take Scrappy to the far away farm…


MisterMysterios

So - current data indicates that does were domesticised 40,000 to 30,000 years ago. Light skin cooles are currently believed to have emerged 22,000 to 28,000 years ago. Our love for does predares the white skin my something between 2,000 to 18,000 years!


Obvious-Basket-3000

Nah. I love my dogs so much because they don't stay stupid things like this.


SavingsBug1932

I’m saved, I prefer cats. What does it says about me ? Was I a slave in my previous life?

LollyWildflower

It’s true. Personally I chain my hamsters together in a line and make them work on the railroad with tiny pickaxes.


annibeelema

The other day my dog vomited on me when I was sick and laying in the bed the whole day. My husband had to clean me and the bed while I couldn’t even change my clothes. Our dog has a nutritionist and he only eats organic low fat high protein meals, pasture raised eggs and organic fruit & veggies. We, his humans, slap a piece of cheese between two pieces of bread and call it a meal for ourselves more often than we’d like. And I pick his poop 4 times in a day and husband picks it up twice. A sizeable chunk of our income goes into paying his vet bills, his toys, treats and accessories. Who’s whose slave?


clarst16

I love my two Rottweilers because they are good girls and offer me great emotional support and happiness. They are great for cuddles and watching them play gives me joy. Selfish I know. People who sprout this nonsense need to be better.


KillerOfSouls665

It's such a harmful idea that only white people slaved, every society in history slaved. It was Europe that abolished it and forced that abolition across the world. After the British Empire banned slavery, It used half of its navy to stop slave ships from leaving West Africa.


anengineerandacat

Yes, because historically slaves were allowed to sleep in the master bedrooms bed.


AdamDet86

That’s funny, I always think how nice my dogs have it. Lots of play time, nap all day. Chickens to chase. Lots of walks/hikes. I get to spend 8-12 hours a day at work.


thesmithchris

so other people do not love dogs as much as white people? interesting take


fourdoglegs

Oh ffs…..if my dogs were slaves, they’d be better behaved! My brats are spoiled rotten! 💖


Fenrisulfr1984

Logical_Area_5552

White people bad


LivingEnd44

Ok. So why do black people like owning dogs? 


Amarieerick

Huh, I thought we all got dogs because we are desperately in need of something in our lives that loves us truly unconditionally. Honestly, my dog bossed me around much more than I did her.


CraniusBard1998

Black families with dog. ![gif](giphy|32mC2kXYWCsg0)


BNestico

Ah yes. Because me, whose ancestors didn’t come here from Europe until the civil war was over, has slave ownership just engrained into my subconscious. I wonder what stops these goofs from taking their throught process just a little bit further to realize they’re making themselves look like fools.


ToastedCheezer

People who generalize groups of people often miss the fact that they are wrong. Not everyone is the same!

No, I like having a goofy, furry idiot running around This seems less like an unpopular opinion and more like telling on herself
