Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

They say that awkward questions from kids are a good way to identify societal issues (as in if it's hard to answer because the answer paints society in a bad light).

Today I got asked why the dog doesn't wear a seatbelt in the car. I wasn't quite sure how to answer, since I think the reason is that we simply value the lives of our animal family members less than the human family members.

You don’t strap your dog in?

We used to, back when we had a sedan and no kids. Now he rides in the boot.
