Holy shit, man. You gotta take a look at this shit you believe.

None of that shit needs the Internet.

Hello Admiral. Why are you so scared of trans folk? Do they awaken uncomfortable feelings?

Certainly the politically active ones, yeah. Agreed entirely.

Update: I thoroughly cleaned out the cage in the backyard with a hose, after transferring Loki to a small budgie cage for an hour and a half. He was quite pissed off about the whole process, as you'd expect, but is keenly inspecting the new rearranged interior of his big cage after I coaxed him back in.

I still feel rotten about how bad it got, and how Thor died because I let it get that bad. There were significant layers of old shit mixed with seed husks in the tray under the cage, and it would have been harbouring bacteria, mold, etc, and drifting through the air, increasing infection risk for those poor birds.

I have extensive mental health issues, and they cause me to neglect large parts of my life, but as others here have rightly pointed out, that does not in any way justify the neglect of someone else whose welfare is my responsibility.

I've cleaned the cage properly, and also rearranged things to make it easier to maintain that cleanliness. There's butcher's paper lining the tray now, easy to remove and replace every week. I have moved the water bath, the seed tray, and the water bottle around so that they are less likely to get fouled, but still easy to access and clean.

I don't have a pic of Loki in the new cage, since I've given him some quiet time to recover from the stress of moving back and forth, but here is one of him in the budgie cage, looking like some sort of giant.

Yeah. Games are a different beast, and teach you some good skills.

I would encourage gaming over, say, watching lots of Mario and Spongebob and Minecraft videos on YouTube in a maddeningly random walk where nothing ever finishes and there is never a plot. AAAAAAGH!

My partner's kid, seven years old, does this. I try to stay sane throughout, and watch along, to see if I can understand why they do this.

I sometimes suspect it's a devious experiment to see if an adult brain can be literally cooked by its own rage and confusion.

The Frameworks represent the bleeding edge in my mind. The laptop I'd get if I was suddenly wealthy. This one looks cool. New RAM type sounds interesting. Anyone here had experience with it?

Yeah. Vagoinah is more like it. We sound a bit like a Bostonian got into a teleportation accident with a Cockney newsboy.

Yep, also drop a hammer into the water when you boil it to break the surface tension so the sphaghetti doesn't die.

I did not know about that, just about the stromatolites. Goddamn, that is awesome.

Oh, a degree, well that definitely makes me think you know everything, fine, let's all bow down to the ultimate authority here.

Fuck you, dude.

Yep, that's why it's a statistical tendency, not a straight-up determining factor. Also, your lifelong suffering gives you more compassion for those who also suffer, another well-studied phenomenon.
