Never ever doing it without a dog again.

The joy that they bring, even when shit is so bad, even when they are the one that pissed me off.

And then they like give you a look and they just like lean their head on you and look at you and you're just like, oh my God, life is worth living and everything is going to be okay.

And you just have this moment of just, it's all right and it's all going to be all right.

Then of course you have the moments of like one day this dog will die and I will have to go on without them.

And you just like shrivel up a little bit, but you know, they are, they bring such intense joy at a level that I can only imagine is like approaching what a lot of people feel about their children, which I have no interest in whatsoever.

So I'm glad that I have something that I can access.

That's like giving a bit of that without, you know, the debt, emotional damage and,

You can do dogs in apartments, but they have to be quite small and trained in such a way that they're not going to bark if you have to leave for work and ruin your neighbor's day.

I will emphasize they tend to be books with a male-dominated fandom.

The wrong things are underlined every time.

There are multiple times with Dungeon Crawler Carl where I am just like, this is profound, actually.

And nobody has highlighted it, but they highlighted the stupid dick joke later.

Really?

Come on, guys.

You know?

And it's not even that good a dick joke.

Y'all know I can respect a good dick joke.
