I've gotten offered a job on the first interview and I worked there for a while. Then again, that was not in my field of IT and was a part-time job with a well-known company, alongside studies. So while it can be a red flag, it's not always. Depends on the situation. Just stay vigilant.

I mean, there are cases of victims being directly told by store employees that they can't sell the cards because it's a scam, and them getting right back on the phone with the scammer and going to another store instead.

NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can't comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. ~~I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work.~~ I assumed wrong. See reply.

Being in the middle of the large and relatively stable Eurasian plate does help, though. The Mediterranean region, being closer to the edge region, does experience quite a bit more, though, and some strong ones have historically been felt all the way up here, too.

I'm setting up some things for myself before I start proper streaming but little test streams I've done have been very successful!

And I've subbed to the community, so really appreciating the advertising. Cx

Owncast is rather interesting to me. Self-hosted streaming platform that can use the ActivityPub to publish streaming notifications, if desired.

Finland is not close enough to the edges of tectonic plates, so if we get earthquakes here at all, they're barely noticeable.

The puppy was being trained for hunting. Meaning she killed her for doing exactly what she was being trained to do. Of course she wouldn't know there are some animals she shouldn't chase.

Oh, and this is not a one-off thing from Noem either. She also mentions shooting and killing a male goat for "chasing her kids".

In any case, I worry when someone's solution to completely fixable issues with other living beings is to just kill them.

Carnivores have just as much right to live as their prey, as unfortunate as the cost of life is.

We, as humans, are in a rather unique position, being omnivores with many of us in the developed world having easy access to food. And those of us can make a choice to not cause the death of other sentient beings in order to have food.

You can show a lot of differences, but the end result is always the same: Sentient beings dead way before their natural expiration.

Do note that this whole thing is based on the hypothetical of plants being capable of experiencing pain. In reality, they do not possess a nervous system to enable that.

Of course I'd choose to kill an animal if the alternative was getting injured or killed (or starving in some extreme survival situation), but in day-to-day life, I do not see the need to do that.

We, as omnivores, have a choice. The carnivores do not. I'd rather not cause more suffering than I have to (since I have that choice) even if there was the potential that it could possibly decrease overall suffering.

I will not go into other problems with fish specifically since it's not on-topic.
