    Truly, if you’re feeling miserable and even suicidal - I know this sounds cliche, but please try going for a walk outside, ideally in a wooded area.

    I understand this sounds like “touch grass”, but seriously, try it out.

      I second this. It doesn’t solve anything, but your mind finds better things to do. Bonus points if someone kind approaches you. There were countless people who just asked me for directions or the time on the way to the shop, and just exchanging these few words made me feel human again.

    Beautiful birds with an incredible history, heartbreaking how they were completely abandoned when faster communication was invented

      Exactly.

      They’re my favorite birds, personally. I’ve never quite experienced a calm like when feeding a bunch of pigeons in the middle of a city and they were just grateful, content, and friendly.

      Plus the way they bob their heads when they walk is cute lol.

      Given the fact that they mainly were a food source instead of noble mail carriers, perhaps having been abandoned in reality has not been that bad a fate…

      So that’s why they live on the street, I see.
      Due to AI this might be our fate soon. Let’s see who feeds us bread crumbles and who doesn’t

    I hear the argument that people hate pigeons with a passion due to things like disease, but I don’t give a fuck. It’s not like they asked for it and it’s not like they’re aware of it. They’re just hanging out being birds. Let them be!
