My mom had a rooster that hated me. He wasn’t super mean but would attack after warning me if I didn’t leave quick enough.

I solved the problem by saying repeating “I’m going to pick you up” and catching him anytime he started getting aggressive. I’d wrap him up in a towel, take him inside, and we’d watch “How it’s Made” while I pet his head and talked to him. He calmly but unhappily accepted the situation.

After a few days of that he mostly left me alone. If he started puffing up I’d tell him “I’m going to pick you up”: he’d instantly deflate and run away making unhappy noises.

They get hilariously defensive when I tell them “I don’t do fad diets”.

Based on the instance they chose to make an account on I wouldn’t be surprised if the point they’re trying to make is about waste. It might cost you more money but it’s “cheaper” in greenhouse gases and space in a landfill – something future generations are going to pay for.

Thankfully enshitification is encouraging repair even if replacement costs less because the replacement is cheap trash.

Makeup isn’t though: we all just need to get down with the clown.
