Because it’s a tradition from the old testament that some (by no means all) churches use. It’s nowhere near as universal as your own anecdotal references seem to imply.
I’m assuming grandchild, cause momma is more of an EVE hybrid anyway.
So self-delusion?
Well, your first mistake was assuming anyone on the internet writing an article about furries (without having some investment in the community) is a journalist.
Which is more of a “zero-tolerance” policy, like unto giving the same punishment to a student defending themselves as the one given to the person who initiated the attack.
If you break down that far, isn’t everything as old as the universe?
That’s about the right amount of words to completely ignore the sentiment of a statement so you can make a vapid holier-than-thou statement based on purported moral superiority.
And/or Radio.
I don’t know if I’d ever be bored if I had a Wee Knight to ride.

Marx also assumed that revolution eventually leads to a communist utopia.
Thus far they have only led to authoritarian regimes. Even Cuba is little more than a benevolent dictatorship.
Weapons are a good way to combat other weapons, not ideology.
Or a fanatical one.
I’d say the only thing worse than AI having access to your money is TurboTax having the same.
Even that would probably be pretty easy to come back from, comparitively.
You’d have to intentionally tank your credit score, burn all your bridges, probably even take up an addiction or two, to get anywhere near the same kind of experience.

Which isn’t to say I think they’d even get past the initial year you suggest. This guy couldn’t get past a year without that stipulation.
You can call yourself a leftist without actually espousing ideals reflecting it.
Tankies aren’t leftist, they’re leftist cosplayers.
The tables were the first step, the second was getting a computer, the third was becoming a social media manager.
Basically he leveraged his prior experiences to put himself in an advantageous position.
It also talks about how he had auto-immune diseases. I wouldn’t be so sure the visits were for his father.
He also was an entrepreneur before he became homeless. It’s not like he completely forgot his entire life before he started the “experiment”. He had both skills and a history. I’m not so sure it’d be as possible for someone who’s been homeless for a while, or ended up homeless because of a wealth of problems both financial and psychological.
He is a literal temporarily embarrassed millionaire.
