At the moment it looks like what the market is demanding. A few years ago specialisation was in

Crumbs is such a cute name, but a little small when he’s the whole loaf

Are you also against diverse representation in media? That’s been pushed for years, and to an extent we’ve succeeded. There’s no reason we can’t do the same for male role models

This is the pick yourself up by your bootstraps version of raising a child. You can’t seriously expect a 12 year old to have enough wisdom and initiative to do this? Why do we have this unrealistic expectation that men are super capable and just choose to be failures? It’s the same system that fails everybody else, that’s also failing them

Springtails and certain mites also love to eat fungus. I use them to keep mold under control in my terrariums

The main issue with YouTube premium is the price, I can’t imagine that they’re making anywhere near $14 a month from showing me ads that I never click on. I’d love to see a breakdown, including how much is subsiding free users, how much is going to creators, and how much is going into the pockets of shareholders.

I think like most if not all of the people I know would easily pay $5 dollars for premium

Yeah totally, fighting it also helps buy more time and minimise the “too fast” part

I think you’re taking it too literally, the books have many statements that are contradictory. It’s about the general message. In general, the bible is very pro-children, it has passages where God literally tells people he made them in the womb himself. And funnily enough, modern highly Christian nations have these ideals, and takes them to extremes.

The Qur’an has a lot of violent punishment, which is then in a lot of cases moderated in modern Islamic countries. Saudi Arabia for example, may only cut off one hand for thievery, or none if the crime is light enough. It sets precedent and normalises these actions

Yes, but there are multiple references to cutting off hands/feet. It’s hardly setting a good example.

We don’t try to excuse Christianity and their god awful abortion takes as local culture

I don’t understand why we give Islam a pass, a lot of the religion is based on the same barbaric Christian beliefs that we’re all too happy to very rightly call out and shit on. I’d even say the Qur’an is worse than the Christian bible in many ways, given the war heavy times it was written in.

We obviously need to be careful of equating Muslim with brown, and I get that a lot of people are just racist and don’t have a more in-depth understanding of the actual religion. But the religion of Islam itself doesn’t just deserve a free pass because of that

You have truly made me look a fool 🥲

I can love what I do as much as I want. But I’m going to become homeless and die if I don’t get paid.

Lots of businesses use your logic to underpay people, like in the games industry and with Zoo Keepers, but at the end of the day they need something to stop them from dying

If all 50 people want to clean 1 toilet, 49 people are shit out of luck

I’ve been playing with this thought for a while, and it’s nice to see someone else express it

You’re welcome <3 You seem like a kind person, and those people are easily taken advantage of. I don’t like seeing people lose that kindness because they forget to put themselves first.

This person you’re dealing with could have any number of good and valid excuses for their behaviour. But it’s still straight up abusive, and could equally stem from a harmful and malicious place. Unless you know for sure, the best you can do is not antagonise them.

An official report would be valid in your situation. But I wouldn’t get involved any further. Just save her messages and any evidence you have of her behaviour, on the off chance it does escalate and you or another coworker need to protect yourselves

Whilst I agree with the above, remember to look out for number one. It’s important that you prioritise your own mental, physical, social, and financial wellbeing over that of a coworker you don’t seem to know all that well.

It’s important to give the benefit of the doubt and be charitable when you can, but not at any significant expense to yourself

I get what a lot of you guys are saying about Starmer and the Labour government not being as left wing as Corbyn. I would also like someone who would use this majority to implement some really hardcore leftist policies.

But please can we just take a step back and look at what he wants to do:

• Massive amounts of NHS funding

• Nationalised green energy

• Tax private schools

• Allow regulators to hit company executives with criminal charges

• Nationalise the railways

• Increase the minimum wage to a living wage

• Free school meals

I don’t know about you, but that seems at the very least, left of center. Sure, he’s not making drastic sweeping changes right off the bat. But this country needs an era of stability, whilst we make small but consistent steps in the right direction, and that’s what Starmer will give us

It takes a lot of energy to send them back in time

I love how this implies the protagonist just wants to die

Unfortunately, we all know for the US it would go fine. The UK is the same, we whine for a bit, then nothing happens
