I mean, that’s a bookstore. Maybe try a shoe store?

Nice!!! Do dogs next!

Dude the Pareto principal has started some shit in this household. We don’t even bring it up these days.

Or be neighborly and go over with a couple big blocks and tell them you noticed that's sketchy and wanted to help out!

Sounds dumb but I watch my backyard ecosystem a lot. Like a LOT. I smoke on the back porch so like I say. A lot. I’ve carefully cultivated this nice little nature preserve and have watched the birds raise families. All families that return year after year and grow their own families. I recognize them and know their patterns and that’s helped me to feed them and their young at the times needed and in a way that minimizes their vulnerabilities. Same with squirrels, possums, etc.

It hurts when you see one of your babies fall prey to something bad. Hawk, neighborhood cats, nature, and worse, humans.

But I began to recognize that’s the price I have to pay to be involved. Realistically I shouldn’t be involved and in an ideal world humans would leave all animals be, but I live in suburbia and animals are sometimes dependent on us here.

But being involved is a precious thing and sometimes it just hurts. Remember that you’re likely right about the kitty falling prey to another animal. But don’t fault that animal as they are simply doing what they know. Just be ultimately grateful that nature recognized you as a safe person/safe place and that’s a pretty awesome thing. Let that thought lift you up when the dark underbelly of nature shows itself.

Why is anyone surprised? Isn’t that her family values? Take what you want and sneer when you get caught?

More likely someone trying to invoke the improbability drive

Honestly I moved over here a couple months ago and haven't had the urge to look back. I love this place.

Out of curiosity I read that post and top comments. That place just smells tainted now. If that post is on tenth accurate I feel bad for anyone that feels the need to stay and be part of that drama.

The fediverse has felt just so much more comfortable and safe. I hope it stays this way.

Befriend them and work to change their hearts, maybe?

I'm grateful for reddit. It was because of them that I found the fediverse. And I too deleted a decade old history and account from reddit

All I can say is that for every person voicing their opinion and leaving by making a scene, there are many more of us just silently deleting our comments and posts and just disappearing from reddit. Those are the ones reddit should be concerned about.
