  • 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?







  • 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)






  • 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.
