@michaelgemar @futurebird I’ve always thought the Minds treat humans as pets. I never had much of a shared interest with Twitter the Sugar Glider, but I would let her lick yogurt off my finger because she made such charming “this is *so* good” noises.
Jinx the Red-Eared Slider (turtle) became increasingly tiresome as he aged, but we couldn’t just throw him away. That’s not what a respectable person in my culture would do. Same for Minds?
