@@jessehachey2732 G'day, Yeah, I concurr.

From memory, he was cutting up and re-plumbing Dogs for about 2 years before doing the first Human ; in 1983. So, what - one wonders ; was Doktor Oz attempting to achieve, which burned through 300 Dogs ? Such is life, Have a good one... Stay safe. ;-p Ciao !

First-time jackal here! The joke about cheating promotes ignorance of polyamory (or nonmonogamy, or open relationships). It’s not cheating if there was no (prior) agreement between two people stating that the relationship would be exclusive. Presumed monogamy is a big problem in the dating world. (It creates jealousy and ill will, for instance, where there needn’t be any.) Just a heads-up because few people understand how poly or open relationships work, and comments like these definitely don’t help.
