  • It may not be monthly but there are companies that will monitor your levels and schedule refills as needed. If you’re getting refilled per month you probably need a bigger tank. Most people are using propane for heating and don’t need it refilled in the summer.

    There are also options to spread the cost over the year so you’re making payments each month. That is sort of a subscription but when I think subscription I think of a service you’re charged for whether you use it or not and not financing.


  • There are levels to emotion. I postulate that there comes a point where language is required to achieve a higher state of emotion.

    For example remorse. It’s required understanding one is able to cause others harm. Can you reasonable state this is an innate emotion? I would strongly argue it requires understanding of cause and effect that requires verbal communication to understand.

    With animals we train them with reinforcement techniques. Which children we do the same but continue to expand upon it on with verbal reasoning


  • There is a vast difference between human emotions and feeling pain. I think it’s ridiculous that anyone could equate the two. The nuance is in whether a cat can feel love or if it’s something more basic.

    We actually know that some people don’t feel normal emotions. That is a strong indication that emotions are not innate to all animals.


  • Yes. Science is the difference between knowing and feeling.

    We feel like animals have emotions but is often because we are projecting ourselves on them. We inject emotional motivations on them because of how it makes us feel. Breaking that illusion would likely reduce the emotional benefit we experience from allowing these little creatures in our homes.
