I'd honestly be interested in listening if we lived in the same area. I'm a total noob when it comes to anything beyond basic money management. I hope you find people who appreciate your insights!

Lots of things I'm really interested in are looked down on by other adults I know. I love animation but it's seen as something for kids. I love video games, but that's for teens, incels and nerds. And I love birdwatching, but that's for boring old people. Oh and also whatever my ADHD is making me hyperfocus on at any given moment. I could talk about any of those topics for ages, but more often than not people aren't interested, so I keep it to myself.

Check out the kitten lady's website, she has a wealth of tips for taking care of orphaned kittens. She has a page specifically in determining age:

She also has an active youtube channel with lots of tips. I really can't recommend her channel enough to people taking care if very young kittens with no mom.

America is huge and you might have to drive very far to get that second hand item. Also not everyone has a pickup truck to go get bulky heavy furniture you can't take apart to easily transport to your place. And bedbugs are an issue in some places, especially major cities. It's possible for some but not everyone.

Aren't they risking losing their most talented workers doing that? I assume they can more easily find jobs providing the flexibility they're looking for.

Doesn't this prove the point? We're aware there's a problem when it comes to replicating some experiments, therefore calling into question their validity (i.e. our views on the science behind those experiments need to be adjusted).

I don't know why people are downvoting you (if that's what it's called here). I LOVE Hollow Knight, probably one of my favourite games, but I can understand it's not for everyone. I had a similar reaction to you with Hades, which made me realise I don't enjoy Roguelikes and Roguelites, no matter how popular and beautiful they are.

Edit: Ah I just realised it's because we're in an instance for board games. My bad!

I've lived in multiple European countries, and visited and dined in many more. Never once paid before a meal. Where in Europe are you from?

My guess is Reddit is doing this to temporarily raise traffic. It's like rage bait. They know they're pissing people off and protestors will flood the site, but traffic is traffic. If they can demonstrate engagement it must be good enough for the upcoming IPO.

Yeah and just like jewish people who sided with the nazis, they'll be sent to the ovens too.

[-] Foreigner@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

Good, you should start your own movement deploring that too.

I wouldn't put it past them to come after the rest of the alphabet eventually. You know, "first they came for the bla bla". We might not be first in the oven but they'll burn us all given the chance.
