I've spent nearly 63 years on this planet. My husband and I have been together for 22 years. I lived in Japan for 17 years, an experience that I treasure. I've lived a full life. I'm paying for it now, but it was worth the price!

Because it's always those in control at the top of the chain that drive the narrative. Especially when they've bought government officials ... It's hardly in their best interest to say otherwise - the poor and the vulnerable are just easy targets ... It's a distraction technique and sadly so very many people have bought into it...

No one changes their gender. Transgender people wish to have the freedom to live their gender just like everyone else does. Transgender people will often change the appearance of their physical sex to better match their gender.

Hey Pandas, What's An Unpopular Opinion You Have?

Cats are perfect predators and completely capable of surviving on their own. Unless you got some fancy designer🤪 cat like the Sphinx. They stay closer to humans because they benefit from it, just like many other intelligent animals (ever seen a bunch of pigeons deep in the woods?). Cats kept as pets have a longer life span thanks to the safety, vaccination and medical care. That cats do very well on their own is proven by the fact that they are an invasive species. And yes cats belong inside. Your fluffy ball of happiness is a ruthless murderer that in most areas is terrible news for the ecosystem. If you let it roam free, it is also likely to die sooner, either due to messing with a bigger animal (cats are narcissistic aholes and they overestimate their capabilities a lot) or a road accident. Indoor cats live a happy life as long as you cater to their physical and emotional needs, providing toys, scratching towers and comfy places to chill.

Hey Pandas, What Is The Worst Fitness Advice You've Ever Gotten?

"Drink less water". I have several conditions that basically make my body think it needs to store as much water as possible. I'm a human equivalent of a sponge. I did the body composition analysis thing at a gym once and the trainer looked at it and went like: "dunno, maybe you should drink less water?". He was being serious. He was being dead serious. Luckily I know better than to follow such rubbish advice.
