Wait... People eat things like grilled cheese as anything other than an excuse to shove cheese into their mouths? No judgement intended, I fucking love cheese, probably too much. How could a food where "cheese" is such an important part of the name possibly be "too cheesy"? Isn't cheese the entire fucking point???

I'm pretty sure microplastics have even been detected in rainwater.

Only the AI generated ones.

Probably not a very practical answer, but I moved to a city known for being full of tech bros, then went to a bunch of general interest meetups organized mostly by tech bros, where I made friends with tech bros, and one of them randomly offered me an invite.

TL;DR: Great to have if you're looking for less popular content, high quality files, and/or are concerned about copyright notices, but the rules that keep the niche content alive make them less appealing for super popular content.
I randomly made friends IRL about a year ago and got an invite to BTN & PTP. I don't watch/download a lot of movies, so my account at PTP has lapsed, but I've kept my account with BTN.
From my recent searches, BTN tends to have higher quality files and more seeders than public trackers, but since a) I have a seed box, which provides a line of defense against copyright notices, and is only strengthened my my *aars (gets me in & out of the swarm before the studios find it), b) I usually can't tell the difference in quality from the devices I'm using (and my friends/family most definitely don't notice/care), c) seed ratio or time doesn't impact access to public trackers, and d) I prefer to keep public torrents alive, I usually lean towards public trackers, and only use the private trackers for things that are harder to find and/or things I want in high quality.
I still try to seed to a minimum ratio of 3.0 on popular files (public or private), and ∞ for more niche files, but sometimes demand is so low, and I need to move files off of my seed box. While a ratio below 1.0 makes me feel "stuck" no matter where I got the file from, private tracker rules definitely amplify that feeling.

Maybe, but I might be busy avoiding responsibilities next week.

Nah, I don't do things on weekends. Or Mondays. How about the following Tuesday?

If you happen to have a Trader Joe's nearby, I've been liking their "Ultra Hydrating Gel Moisturizer", although sometimes it feels a little too light for winter. I also sometimes use the CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizer, but that one can sometimes leave me feeling kinda greasy after a while. I'm traveling and using a different face wash at the moment, so I don't know how much of my issues with the CeraVe moisturizer are due to the face wash vs the climate, because I don't recall it ever feeling greasy back home, but I only started using it a few months ago.

In the US and currently fully WFH, but if I need to go into the office for some reason, it's a 10-15 minute walk.

Walkability is pretty important to me, so I moved to a city with decent public transportation and don't currently own a car. I use ride sharing apps or traditional car rentals on the rare occasion that I need a car, and even though they feel expensive, my annual car expenses are still significantly less than what I'd pay for parking alone if I owned a car.

Looks like Sonarr grabbed it for me from a private tracker about 5 hours ago. I'm sure it will hit public trackers later today, if it hasn't already.

And at the opposite end of the spectrum, there's cats who intentionally don't cover it, as a way of marking territory. One of mine has a lot of "dominant" tendencies, including a habit of not even trying to cover his poops.

Her poops shouldn't smell like roses, but the smell shouldn't be so terrible that you can smell it from the next room either.
Are her poops solid? If they're not, definitely talk to your vet, as she could be sick, and diarrhea is especially dangerous in kittens.
Assuming it's not a medical issue, looking at the ingredients of that food, I think you might find the smell improves if you try a different food. One of my cats has a very sensitive stomach, and my vet said that ingredients such as fish, beef, lamb, corn (maize), soy, and wheat are frequent triggers for cats. I see that the first three ingredients of that food are on that list. For proteins, poultry (chicken, turkey, duck) or rabbit tend to be well accepted. I've had to switch my cats to 100% wet food, but my vet previously suggested Dr. Elsey's chicken kibble, and they both liked it.
