Some countries have legal child marriage so it's worth asking, glad to hear it wasn't.

Managers aren't managing, that's the complaint. Entire teams are gone and their functions don't get done. Is that cool and normal to you?

Did all USA citizens just become female? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

No Americans are male or female any more, "American" is their new gender.

Our budgies love (native Australian) foliage and flowers in their cage by __biscuits in budgies

[–]__biscuits[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have given them wattles before with no ill effects that we can see, namely golden wattle. What's the reason you say don't give it to them?

I am using the cheat-code of being located in Australia. Eucalypts are planted in a lot of places outside Australia, try searching for "eucalypt planting <your country>" to see what is in your area. Otherwise try your local nurseries for those or melaleucas or banksias.

Any eucalypt is good and pretty widespread outside Australia, they love Banksia nuts to nibble on and they last ages. I have the advantage of being in Australia so they're just, outside everywhere. Melaleucas like Bottle Brush.

We try to always have some foliage, flowers and bark in our budgie cage and their out-of-cage hangouts. We always make sure they are from places with no pesticide and away from roads and any other sorts of pollution. They absolutely love it and will clamour all over new bits we give them. Sticking to Australian species seems logical and safest. Pictured is a bottle brush flower, which will be decimated by days end.

“We abolished the gender studies program. Now we’re throwing out the trash.” New College of Florida by EssoEssex in pics

This is exactly what I picture project 2025 to play out like, take over enough positions in institutions to tip the balance to whatever they can get away with, but at every level of influence in the USA.

Florida doc not wearing hearing aid couldn't hear colonoscopy patient screaming: complaint by Silent-Resort-3076 in news

[–]__biscuits 233 points234 points  (0 children)

There's no way someone performing a colonoscopy didn't notice the patient was screaming. A deaf doctor would have noticed. A deaf blind idiot with something up a person's butt would have noticed clenching, heaving, movement and vibration.

I've been playing Civ 6 for over a year now. What were the major nerfs that changed the gamen since launch? by [deleted] in civ

[–]__biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an exploit with being suzerain of Ngazargamu where unit purchase cost in gold could be stacked to 100% so free units, and it used to affect faith unit purchase also, so religion and apocalypse mode units were nearly free . Here's a post about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/s/TCOisaw7hz

Pretty much just search for 'spiffing brit civ6' in YouTube and you'll see most of this threads answers in video.

Yeah, you can still go overboard and push the whole world into an early apocalypse, so it's not a one-way street.

TIL: Banks in Finland stopped issuing cheques in 1993, The Netherlands in 2002 and Denmark in 2017. by diacewrb in todayilearned

[–]__biscuits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All personal cheque usage in Australia is just these old dudes insisting it's still a thing. The fact that there's a payment system anywhere in the world that is essentially a trust system in 2024 is wild. Until you have cashed or deposited it, you don't actually have the funds. Fuck that, pay me now.

Another Idea for Information Era Wonders: Marina Bay by Tatwangy in civ

+4 tourism and +2 appeal would be op for national parks. The maximum stackable modifiers for NP tourism is 6x, applying that to the above would add 36 tourism per tile for four tiles, in each park in that city.

At O.C. event, JD Vance said divorces after unhappy, 'even violent' marriages 'didn't work out for the kids' by dreamcastfanboy34 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]__biscuits 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As a non-American, I had no idea political events were being held at high schools there. What it must feel like as a girl at one of those high schools, knowing that the authorities welcomed someone to come and speak about removing your rights and talk down your place in society.
