In actual rants, to dust off an ole chestnut, screw you if you drive in the left lane (in 'Murica) and aren't passing someone.

Goodbye, doggie…
So I ran into my landlord just as he had finished talking to her… Apparently the law has changed two years ago and a landlord can't prohibit a person from keeping a pet
He said, however, that if it doesn't start pissing outside, that he wouldn't care for the law...
Now to order a boatload of bleach to get the bloody patio cleaned...

bit much just for a little piss?

apparently that's what they're trying to change too in australia as well, amongst others such as allowing installation furnitures or child safety stuff that requires drilling and such..

Vegans. They're the same as cross fitters. How do you know if someone is vegan? Oh don't worry, they'll tell you.

What's the first rule of crossfit?
Never shut up about crossfit.

A vegan friend once threw out a friend's meat dish out. I let her know she just made the perceived problem worse, because he'll now have to go buy MORE meat to backfill the waste.

I have Frontpoint home security. Awakened in the middle of the night by an alarm indicating a glass break in the basement. Shake off the cobwebs, cancel the alarm, and go full-on John Rambo into the basement in my underwear with a gun and a tac light on its rail to clear the room. The room is empty and the glass panes are whole, and the sensor is sitting on the floor. This happened previously in my study. It takes me a while to get back to sleep in these scenarios too.
They need to make better adhesive, we nearly shit ourselves. Again. My poor wife was huddled in bed clutching one of my pocket knives.
Had we been gone, it would have been a costly false alarm.

I love it here and we are in a safe area, but we are still in the city. Not much violent crime, but a bit of property crime around here, and lots of homeless folks find their way in the vicinity. As cold as it was last night, it's not implausible that one of them would seek warmth someplace.
Our neighborhood is unmatched for amenities, but I would really like to live more remotely one of these days.

I wouldn't cancel out someone's birth certificate if they just wanted a warm place to sleep, but my worst nightmare is something that happens all over the world these days.
Several criminals will come into your house (around 4 at a time), grab one person and hold them at knifepoint, and get another family member to go to an ATM with them and empty their bank accounts while family members are being held hostage.
In some situations, wives and children are raped while money is being taken out.
This is not exclusive to the US.
These assholes capitalize on 1. how many people are in your family and 2. how much of a false sense of safety you have -

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that I would use lethal force in such a circumstance, I have a bleeding heart towards the less fortunate, and Denver is rife with such folks. But often they are mentally unstable and dangerous, and it could have also been a straight up criminal along the lines you described. I can stand being robbed, what I can't stand is having my wife attacked or either of us coming to bodily harm. Our dog is not big enough to be useful in home invasion situations yet, so I was making sure we were safe.
What you described is nauseating and the human race doesn't have room for people like that.

I have two Rotties, and people ask me once in a blue moon why I worry about defending myself when I have them. I actually come unglued when they say that.
I've raised these two since they were pups, all they want is to sleep and make me happy, and some coward thinks it's a good idea for me to send them down to fight with their faces because they are so spineless they can't do it for themselves?
Fuck off. I defend my house for my family, and that includes the dogs. -

Push comes to shove, your dogs probably feel the same way about protecting your family that you do. My wife is not trained in any kind of self-defense.
That said, we've socialized him so much it's hard to imagine him doing so.

We thought the same until they were between 1 and 2 years old (maybe a little later for Lia).
Something in them switched over in them at that time and they didn't want us to talk or touch another person, including each other.
They grew out of it but it was pretty interesting to watch the change.
I'm too lazy to look up the study to reference, but violent felons were interviewed when they were in prison and the three deterrents to home invasion were in this order:
1. Getting shot by the homeowner (specifically shot, they were largely unimpressed with knives/blunt weapons/pepper spray).
2. Getting eaten by your dog.
3. The police showing up.It was a good article, I think it was from the 90s.
