I have the same mentality and approach as well, and have legitimately lost friends because of this.
One of the excuses as to why they “don’t have the time” to keep in contact is apparently because I’m “impossible to contact with no Facebook or Insta or Snapchat”, even though they all had my phone number and even my primary personal email, and a Signal account.

Guess I’m going against the grain here, but in my experiences, no not really.
At least here in Aus I’ve never noticed any correlation between animal friendliness and religion. My family for example is very religious (I’m not), and quite conservative (I’m definitely not lol), but they care for animals better than they care for other people.
What I have noticed is more fear from other cultures. For example, I have an Indian neighbour who never grew up around dogs, especially big dogs. When I first picked up my German Shepherd as an 8 week old pup, they were scared shitless of him! Scared of a cute little fur ball, with paws too big for his body just flailing around bumping into things, literally one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen!
Not dismissing the question on religion being linked to animal friendliness, but maybe region and cultural factors are also playing a role here?


Business transactions. Think of small business that deal with cash, or paying contractors, etc.
There’s many reasons larger bills still exist, even just larger cash transactions like buying a second hand car gives a reason for larger bills to continue to exist.

And the Fediverse doesn’t have all of those already?
These are inescapable in the modern age internet unfortunately, however the decentralisation of the Fediverse should help in alleviating those symptoms of an open platform.


More users provides more diversity - More diversity provides the potential for more niche interests to arise - More active niche communities provides more reasons for existing users to stay - More active users staying on the platform inevitably attracts more new users.


More users to accommodate more active niche communities


Depends on the cert and the environment you are already in.
For example, I’m an IT Consultant, we kind of rely on ‘professional certs’ to get work at client projects, especially if a project is covering specific niches and we have consultants that have certifications within those niches.
Also, many of the more mainline certs can definitely be worth getting (especially in the early career stages), as a quick example some of the CompTIA certs like Networking+ (a colleague got his job with us solely with that cert btw)


Last time I tried Bluesky was the start of this year, with a week had like 20 bot accounts following me, maybe 1 real person

Did you just fantasize about a veteran being into you as an 11yr old, now you have it stuck in your head that they were a pedo because of… Why exactly?
Am I reading this wrong?


Yes of course, but the crime was still committed and she had full capability of committing the crime regardless of how it ended up for her. The question wasn’t “why are males more successful at committing a crime”, although this is where my mind went as well.


The cultural reason was what I was thinking too.
At first, physical capability popped into my mind as well, however can a woman not steal a loaf of bread? Or grab a knife and stab someone, or grab a gun and pull the trigger?
Economically able to could also lead into the gender imbalance in executive positions.
However I would like to hear the person I replied to’s reasoning instead of us guessing or putting answers in their mouth so to speak, as ‘more capable of doing so’ doesn’t really lend much to the conversation.


How so?
The continuous improvement is what I remember the most! At least how I remember the internet of old, it was like a constant stream of something new, from random funny links of random sites, to big new major projects surfacing. It was cool


I smoked weed in high school, a fair bit lol, I was definitely considered one of the “stoner kids” of the school.
In my 20’s I stopped for the most part (only a joint here or there, maybe 2 or 3 times max per year), many of the kids I went to school with that were all anti drugs and anti drinking as kids became hard drug addicts in their 20’s.
Now in my 30’s I smoke again, much easier now that I can comfortably afford this habit


Oysters did this for me. Hated them growing up, even into my early adult years I still hated Oysters. The texture and taste just did not agree with me.
Then one Friday I had to go away for work for the weekend, I went to the local pub where I was staying for dinner, and the chef came out with like 6 Oysters for free, I tried one, then demolished the other 5, ended up ordering a dozen and demolished those. Been hooked on Oysters ever since
