    It’s just still a spelling bee. They’ll find some fitting term to call it and that’s that. Everyone knows the show is set in a different country anyways. The concept is intuitive enough, even if it’d be very easy in most languages.

    4500 a month for housing is insane, is rent actually that bad in the US? I could rent a villa for that.

    You are also missing private retirement funds though (and if car dependent 100/month seems very low for transit costs)


  • It’s the equivalent of grooming. So yes, it is morally questionable. But so is every “training someone to do a thing”. People just accept it with animals as long as in the end the animal seems fine, because it’s only ever about what seems normal and not about the actual impact. And I’m not saying it’s all a horrible moral crime, just that it’s a large grayscale and can’t be painted as good or bad blankly.

    Doing that to random wild animals for no reason does feel rather fucked up to me because until the end point (which in that case is likely just the realization that there’s no danger) it puts the animal under a lot of stress. Not to mention the potential issues with wild animals losing their fear of humans.







  • Having frequent or traumatic experiences with members of a group is not a good reason to hate that group at all unless it’s actually the group’s defining feature directly causing it, and it’s their own choice.

    That’s different to suffering from trauma as a result, which obviously you can’t control, and might result in some behaviour that looks similar on the surface.
