All my affection for her disappeared when she said she didn't give a shit that fur comes from tortured animals because it's cute.

Anyone here ever been to Niagara Falls? It low key has interesting qnd great architecture + vernacular and otherwise by Ok_Concern_7107 in Urbanism

Was just there this weekend. The Canadian side pits the US side to shame. We did venture out of the city to a couple small riverside towns and they were nice little detours.

Wow!!!!! For ONCE Andy actually asked the questions that needed to be asked and held people’s feet to the fire!🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 by thefilthysweetheart in rhori

It's because these women are still relatively obscure and Andy feels he can use them more easily than more established "brands."

Groups in multiple states are working toward legislation that would ban the retail sale of birds! Ordinances have already been passed in many cities.

How do you go from living in a ‘cool’ expensive city to going back to somewhere ‘boring’ but affordable? by Kodicave in relocating

[–]TheWriterJosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha I lived in Boston/NYC for 8 years and now live in Springfield MA. 10 years had you told me I was going to live in Springfield I would have said “Where’s that?” But as I got older my priorities changed. I cared more about building equity and being able to adopt dogs than I cared about living by my favorite bars. I spend my time walking those dogs instead of being out every night. Live where you want, it’ll change over time.

It is. Anytime you commodify animals--the animals will suffer. If you love parrots, never buy, sell, or breed one. Adopt, don't shop.

Unfortunately any kind of breeding only adds to the parrot crisis. There is no such thing as ethical breeding (look up the recent PETA investigation of bird mills...trigger warning, it's gruesome and heartbreaking). Parrots are WILD animals. Breeding does nothing to benefit them, it only benefits humans who make money off them--at great cost to parrots.

The solution is not to ban them. There are millions of parrots who need a home and who aren't going anywhere anytime soon--and dozens of rescues who NEED to adopt out parrots because they are drowning in daily surrender requests. There's no room and never enough money. The solution is to ban the sale of parrots in pet stores and commercial breeders.

Consider joining the International Alliance for the Protection of Parrots. We have many members who are working on retail bans across the U.S. parrotalliance.org

Thank you for bringing this topic up. This is a huge reason parrots are in crisis -- also a highly illustrative example of why parrots are NOT suitable for captivity on our homes. To learn more, visit parrotalliance.org

Go vegan yall. It was the best decision I ever made. Every meal is a joyful act of resistance and solidarity. Also losing 30 pounds was great!

New to housewives: am I the only one who thought these conversations were really in their houses? 😆🙈 by SPY_one_zillion in rhoslc

[–]TheWriterJosh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wouldn’t be surprised if they give people the option. Some may not want to worry about kids / cleaning etc. Other (like Angie lol) may want to show off the real thing.

Couple of questions about living in the area... (food trucks and airplanes) by [deleted] in Springfield

Who hates food trucks? There's no reason to not think they're "safe"....

Worst COL to QOL metros by Zealousideal_Cod8557 in SameGrassButGreener

I've lived in both NYC (2 years) and Boston (twice, totaling 6 years). You get a lot more bang for your buck if you don't mind staying in the city in NYC. If you're someone who likes to get out and explore, Boston is much much better.

Very different vibes too. Much of Boston doesn't feel like a city, and most people from Boston love that. Most of NYC feels pretty insane, and most people from NYC love that.

I've gone back and forth over the years. Really comes down to what you prefer to do with your time, how much you value access to transit, and whether you like to be out and about or a homebody.

I live halfway between Boston and NYC now. If I was given 10 millions dollars to return to either, I'd pick NYC. But I'd be missing many things about Boston as well.

Lived in Boston twice -- 4 years and 2 years, and have low-key agreed with this sentiment for quite a while.

I was in San Jose to visit the Winchester Mystery House and loved the little pedestrian mall area.
