To me arguing over which fruit belongs in which category is a prime example of people arguing over shadows in Plato's cave. Not that it's a waste of time or anything but sometimes people act like tomatoes won't grow if you call them vegetables. Like at the end of the day it's just humans developing a system to make sense of nature rather than discovering an inherent, pre-existing system.
If you've never kept birds maybe get a couple of pigeons first. They're more affectionate, less work, less delicate when it comes to diet, shelter and toxins, less destructive and generally more easy going than most parrots. They don't speak but there's no guarantee your parrot would do so either.
Whatever you do don't rush the decision. Parrots can reach a very high age and they require a lot of emotional work in addition to their physical needs, much more than a cat honestly. They're an awesome choice for the right person but they're less common than cats and dogs for a reason.
What I like is that they're low maintainance in general but you can still invest a lot of emotional labour if you want to have a closer bond. There's so many levels of how much a cat trusts you. Never gets boring.
I feel like they'd recognize it better now since it's the current administration's prime directive to reverse all progress that's been made since the founding fathers were around.
Metal, glass or ceramics are all fine as long as you fill them yourself with tap water. Bottled water from the store often contains microplastics that got in there during the filling process so the container material isn't the only thing to consider.
I'm 29 and I think babies are kinda fascinating because they're so primal but interacting with kids roughly between 2 and 14 feels very exhausting to me. After that they start acting like they know everything (while usually knowing very little) but they tend to develop a particular sense of humor that I can work with. But yeah it's mostly a chore for me and I see no reason to incorporate more of that into my life. I don't feel a biological urge to reproduce.
Survivability doesn't decrease linearly with increased fall height. Bear Grylls famously survived a 16,000 ft /5,000 m drop in 1996 and made a full recovery. It takes a fair bit of luck but I guess being the sole survivor of a plane crash means he had that base covered no matter the exact events.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon calls on Security Council to stand by his country.
“This is a moment to make moral decisions. Stand by Israel - or you will be partners in a dangerous silence", He said.
The Steamdeck is as much of a PC as a PlayStation. As in yes they're both PCs but specifically built for gaming. If you want to use them for other stuff you can but it's not what most people buy them for. One runs BSD and the other Linux but the OS doesn't determine what is and isn't a PC. Your phone is a PC too. It's an umbrella term.
Senator Elizabeth Gandhi Warren of Massachusetts had this to say:
