I don't hate on the developers, I hate on the companies that so severely understaff and burn out their teams that no one is doing proper testing anymore.

If you could remove one animal from existence, what would it be?
The only animal I think is truly worth eradicating is the bedbug.
Every other insect from the mosquito, to the tick is an incredibly important source of food (especially protein) for other animals, especially in places with very harsh conditions where other insects struggle to survive. I used to hate and fear insects but now I know they all have their place.
All, except the bedbug. These things are specifically designed to hunt us and pretty much only us. They have precious few predators, much less predators that rely on their existence. They deserve obliteration.

What are your thoughts on this meme? ***WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY MEN PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT***
Lesbian here, so maybe not the target audience for this. However this kind of meme and discourse makes me somewhat uncomfortable. Like, really? Pedro Pascal is -the only nice guy- in the world, every other guy is trash? Too often I hear women speak about men as if they're inherently bad people, rather than victims of the patriarchy just like them. It reeks of "that's just the way men are" and "boys will be boys", except now it's being used to shame and admonish. Shame isn't going to change mindsets, it's only going to make people defensive. It's not as if men are genetically assholes, but these kinds of memes sure make it sound like they are.
It bothers me because I have a son who will grow up to become a man (at least that's how it's looking right now). I worry about what he internalises when he hears that people expect he'll grow up to be a sexist asshole, just because he was born a boy. I have to defend against that just like I defend my daughter when sexism is directed at her, because frankly that's exactly what it is. If I were told from a young age that the default expectation is I'll grow up to be trash just because I have a penis, why bother to do better? I'd probably also listen to the Tates and Petersons who make me feel good about myself instead.
I understand why women are angry and frustrated, they have every right to be. I've also been on the receiving end of sexist and frankly traumatic shit because I was born a girl. I just don't feel like it'll get any better by creating more division, more "us vs them".

Ding ding ding! This is the right answer folks. US citizens will be lucky to get fair elections (if at all) for the foreseeable future. There is no counterweight to what lies ahead, the doors to hell have been opened and no one is coming to save you. If you are in the US, you have the following choices: leave, survive (read: assimilate or hide), or fight.

This internet poll is breaking men's brains! - What we get when male fitness standards clash with female preferences.
Disclaimer: I'm a lesbian so I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm not surprised women vote more for the photo on the left. He just seems friendlier and more approachable, someone you would have fun hanging out with, so I guess that anecdotally gives credence to what the author is saying. The photo on the right looks like someone who's a bit too intense, and I say this as someone who is also trying to get somewhat ripped. It's funny because when I'm at the gym almost a lot of times I assume the super ripped dudes working out there are bi or gay, and more often than not I'm right. I know it's judging a book by its cover, but clearly that aesthetic appeals to other guys (who are also into guys).

Lemon and milk would be the easiest for me. I'm sure I've had those together before, at least in some dessert.

What's an uplifting fact that might counter the doom of our current reality?
Canada geese and white-tailed deer nearly went extinct. Now they're considered pests in some areas. It's possible for nature to bounce back, it just needs to be given a chance.

I refuse to get a phone without a headphone jack. Mostly because I know I'm inevitably going to lose my headphones, forget to charge them, forget them in my trouser pockets that will go in the wash. The latter has happened at least a couple of times with my current headphones and they still work just fine. Try that with your Bluetooth pair and let me know how it goes.

What weird food or dishes do you eat regularly at home that you would never serve to someone else?
Hobo salad: Canned kidney beans, canned sweetcorn, canned tuna, salad dressing. If I'm feeling fancy/not lazy I'll add some chopped shallots or scallions.

There used to be google reviews for the Pacific Ocean that were pretty amusing, but Google took them down. Same for other oceans. Seems they left one review on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans but there used to be way more than that. Can't be having too much fun now can we?

This little guy and his frog friend decided to go for a swim in the pool.
If you haven't already, have you considered installing a few small ramps around the pool for animals to climb out when they fall in? You can find some simple cheap-ish ones on amazon like this one: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81hGTaHIS3L._AC_UF1000,1000_QL80_DpWeblab_.jpg

What are some movies that didn't deserve to flop?
Edge of Tomorrow didn't do great when it was in theatres but turned into something of a 'cult classic' years later. I didn't know what to expect going in but enjoyed it quite a bit.

Delete Facebook, hit the gym, lawyer up?
But in all seriousness, being generous and effusive with a prospective partner is not an issue in itself. The problem is when it's used to manipulate someone into being "hooked" on you then go on to abuse that person. That's why multiple people here are saying to be wary, we're not saying to write him off outright.

Yeah it seems like this guy obviously likes OP but I'd watch out he isn't love bombing. Not saying it's what he's doing but I'd be wary if I were in OP's position.
