They added new fees for smaller accounts a few years ago, which was when I left, but a few months ago they started taking 50% of standard accounts' earnings (*not* additional production fees) and 20% from premium accounts, which is so beyond unreasonable I don't know why anybody still uses them.

Good to know!

Not aware of that one! Thanks, I'll check them out.

Am I understanding correctly that this group was founded in 2014? So just eleven years ago, these kids decided they'd have "ceremonial guards" at their club meetings?

So much beeping must be done!

Louie's first home had three dogs, which almost ended badly. My parents' bird's first home was with a very well-meaning couple who got her despite already having a cat. Parrots and carnivorans in the same house terrify me!

Good call! Parrots are wonderful, but their safety needs mean they're not good fits for a lot of otherwise great homes. (Plus their social/emotional needs, which are a whole other thing.)

Ooh...I wonder how powerful of a bulb you'd need to make that work. You'd have to scoop out most of the inner structure like an angry pumpkin.

the club was like an Ediacaran sandbar: full of things that were technically alive, but not in a way you or I would recognize
