Just be aware with this technique that going to the ER to patch up your sliced open finger is probably more distracting than the sound of the can opening.
I disagree, he should kill them…
With kindness!
I was going to say, far better to be expelled out of the country than out a window.
They do. Personally, I think it makes the most sense, in regards to instance news like this, to put a pinned and locked post on the actual platform you’re talking about, and then put a discord or matrix or whatever off-site link in the body of the post for those who wish to discuss. That’s what a lemmy.zip admin did recently, and I think it worked well.
To be fair, it kinda was, but that’s what I loved about it. It was accessible and fun without being so massive and daunting that it felt like a chore to make it to the end.
With that said, I think that a companion pet can often help one make those changes. Since it sounds like money and allergies are a bit of an issue, I would suggest looking at rats. They are incredibly loyal and affectionate, clean, intelligent. They only live about 2-3 years, which sucks, but if you find that pet ownership isn’t for you (and it’s okay if it isn’t), you aren’t beholden to an animal that will live 4-5 times as long.
Jesus, I didn’t even think of that being a reality now…
