That is, things are only cute because you are a slave to your genetics. Good thing I don't have a biological imperative to reproduce then. Wouldn't want my offspring to be indentured servants to anything. Any urges to have a family comes directly from my parents and the social construction and pressures that society places on me as an Asian male. | ||

Also, buy one for $8000 and fund continued domestication of fawxes. | ||
