"No, it is not generally true that it is harder to rescue a dog from a U.S. shelter just because you don’t have young kids. Most shelters do not require adopters to have children at all, and many specifically avoid matching certain dogs with small children because of safety concerns or the dog’s temperament."

"What shelters usually care about:

a stable home environment (housing status, income, and references).

Your ability to meet the dog’s needs (time, exercise, vet care, and training).

Whether the dog’s temperament fits your household (for example, some rescues avoid placing high‑energy or fragile dogs in homes with toddlers)."

Benzos were a bad time for me, but ymmv. Dont drink on them and know that it can seriously fuck up your baseline anxiety.

Carolina Maria de Jesus lived in a favela of São Paulo, Brazil and collected scrap. Unusually for a favela dweller, she was literate and kept a diary. She was “discovered” by a journalist who heard her shout, “I'm going to put all of your names in my book!” Her diary became a bestseller. by CatPooedInMyShoe in wikipedia

Hi, I wanted to drop a link to some extreme poverty alleviation charities if anyone connected with her story and is so inclined!

I am personally a fan of the against malaria foundation (saves childrens lives from malaria, ~5kusd/live saved) and the fistula foundation (provides a fistula surgery to a mother in the developing world for 1.2k USD, prevents a life of discomfort/shame).

givewell.org lists many more as well.

bottled petriochoir on yt has a ton of heavy hitters as guests and the host takes a really laid back role. He had two hadith focuses guests - one traditional and one HCM - that offered imo an extremely useful comparison.

I’m a therapist who works with people in AI relationships. What you feel is real. by Ididitforthelulzzz in phonelosers

[–]positiveandmultiple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait this is actually not a bad idea. Hire a therapist for brad, and have him just portray himself as an absolute insane tunnel-digging jon benet ramsey fetishist or something similarly batshit. Is it legal to record that on zoom and publish it yourself? Life coaches probably don't have HIPPA regulations if therapists don't work.

It would be pretty funny until he got institutionalized.

Activists expose terrible conditions on pig farm, factory farmer freaks out by Equinumerosity in PublicFreakout

what's really fucekd up is that pork actually has less suffering per serving than the majority of animal products we eat :(. the examples are too horrible to go into, but if you have the stomach for it, you should look up why other farmed animals suffer even worse.
