Parrots are the most surrendered animals in US and probably other countries. There are always more senior birds available at shelters.

Parrots are incredibly smart, social and LOUD animals. They will require constant attention, care and enrichment. If not provided, they are very prone to depression, which comes with bunch of related health issues. They are fragile and require veterinarians that know how to deal with birds / exotic animals. They love destroying stuff and will destroy your house. For a bird that isnt just screaming all the time, you will have to feed them a balanced diet with fresh veggies, and ideally 12 hours sleep in a dark area.

I love parrots, and I took care of one for a time before, but I wouldn't do that again until I am retired and settled down and know that I can dedicate myself to having one. You need to think about all the downsides and how to overcome them.

Have you thought about an easier animal with a shorter lifetime such as a mice or an hamster? They are also extremely sociable and smart animals and also can like to be handled. This would give you a "trial" run of sorts where you can think about how it would like to be have a harder to care animal.

Also, check out Clint's Reptiles on youtube. He has a series of videos about various different animals and how easy / hard it is to care for them along with explaining their general personalities.

Really? I would love to see your pictures defending your democracy at January 6, 2021 with your guns. Or sure, you might not care about your government. Did you do anything at all with your guns to defend people getting kidnapped left and right, illegally mind you, by ICE? You know, since you are so ready to defend whomever you call "us". Oh but by "us", you mean yourself of course.

My dudes going to stop the right because he can get guns from Walmart lmao. Just say you like guns man, don't hide behind some excuse when this issue is killing children at schools right fucking NOW.

"A total of 216 people have been killed and 643 people have been wounded in 169 shootings, as of May 31. "

That is 1.11 mass shootings per day.

Americans: "How are we going to defend ourselves without guns thouuughhhh :(:(:("

I think it was optimistic to think that GrapheneOS would survive long term while the only phones they worked with was made by, you know, Google. I understand their security requirements and respect that they did not make exceptions to be able to work with other devices, but I hope they now change their approach to this considering the alternative.

Ah yes, I can see how you can see the guy who used religion all his political career to his advantage and shat on the constitution just so he can stay in power longer, as a Kemalist.

Bruh, who the fuck is being rejected "hundreds, if not thousands" times? Maybe some people are, but thats such a red flag that I would argue then maybe they should change their approach in the first place.

Maybe you are exaggerating (it just makes you sound a bit like an incel, apologies), and I probably would argue men do get rejected more then woman, because men are still (mostly) expected to make the first move, but like you don't need experience handling rejection to not have a violent rage fit.

Edit: I have read another one of your replies down the chain, and uh yeah you definitely do sound a lot like an incel.
