I find it fascinating that when I put up content of substance, content that calls for a modicum of thought, few respond in any way. Always the same few who even go as far as to recognize it with the lazy man's emoji. Post a picture of a rotten baby or a fuckin' puppy with antlers and it gets showered with praise, adoration, and emojis out the gazoo. Is this truly what we have become?
By the way, here's a fuckin' puppy with antlers

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That’s a pretty fair assessment I would say. We seem to be accommodating a lower common denominators and as a result a lot of the ‘thinkers’ don’t engage so much.
I only engage here now for the few who provide something erudite like your jolly self. I quite frequently disagree but that is irrelevant. It’s the discussion which is important.
Trump, pets and weather seem to be the order of the day currently so not much to salvage out of that lot!

Yep.
Dog created man in its own image. And if you want deep thought. Questions: 1. Is that quite literally true ? 2. Does the dominant partner in a symbiotic relationship have the greatest effect on its partners genetics, is it mutual or the opposite ? 3. Does symbiosis always lead to degeneration in one or both partners ? 4. Am I being sarcastic too, or geeky or both ?

...and is up really the direction you think it is?

A modicum of thought is all I feel like giving most of the posts here. I delete about half of the alerts without reading them.

Not all who visit desire deep discourse. I visit to relax, unwind, and be amused. I get plentt of brain abuse elsewhere in my life.

@Zster -- I'm disappointed. You missed the sarcasm in this. Darn. Now I have to think of something else. 
@evidentialist Sarcasm didn't come across.
@evidentialist Crap!!!! (hate that I missed that!)
Apologies this isn't a deep thought, but that is a very cute puppy! Thank you.
Deep thought is fun too.

et tu @AnonySchmoose? You missed the snide, sarcastic humor in the post. Think I'll go out back and eat worms.
It is a cute puppy, isn't it?
@evidentialist
Satire:
Rotten babies & worms are okay if prepared well !
@AnonySchmoose ya gotta get a nice brown sear on them!

Oh my, I'm amazed @1of5. Of all the people I thought would get this right off, it was you. Oh well, how did you like the puppy?
1of5:
@evidentialist I get it, I just know whinning about it won't work. 
I'm against cross species dressing, especially when so young. It diminishes their self esteem, makes them feel inadequate. Just look into those big puppy-wuppy eyes and see it's disappointment hidden there.
It is frickin cute, though.
