A bigger issue is how people maintain their yards. Lawns are the ecological equivalent of a parking lot. Lawns are terrible for the local species, as are all of the non-native species used in modern landscaping. Once you learn what is actually native and what is not, you’ll be completely shocked at how few native species we cultivate.

Another really huge issue is everyone religiously scrubbing their yard of fallen leaves. Leaves need to stay on the ground. They are essentially compost for trees, and tons and tons of bugs lay eggs in fallen leaves, including fireflies.

I quit mowing my lawn and let some native plants grow up in place of grass and stopped eradicating the fallen leaves, and that summer my yard was absolutely lit the fuck up with fireflies.

All of this is currently reversible. We just have to stop buying into stupid capitalist yard maintenance traditions and start working with the native species. It’s honestly much less work than trying to make all of these Chinese species that are in everyone’s yards work.

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

I agree, but at some point we’re just feeding into the concept that any exposure is good exposure.

I wish that this guy would just disappear.

This does not deserve a headline. We need to stop paying attention to this tool.

I’ve finally started seeing some in my city over the last week or so. They are just so goddamn big and awkward looking. They really look like someone put dumpster on wheels. I honestly find them pretty jarring to see out on the road.

I mean this is actually an ethical argument to be pro piracy.

Trying to use the terms of service for a streaming service in order to sweep a death under the rug is completely insane and no one should give money to company like that.

Three hundred percent inflation isn’t a good thing ever.

Nah. A key difference between left and right is that the left doesn’t worship their political candidates like the right does. That shit is weird.

I like the guy and everything, but can we cool it with the dad stuff? It’s kind of weird. He’s a politician.

We’ve seen this time and time again. Banning things outright just doesn’t work. Regulation works.

Also, almost every profession athlete uses steroids in some way or another.

I don’t what it is, but the popularity of this meme feels manufactured to me. I don’t know a single person that thinks that this is funny.

Am I the only one that sees all of these AI platforms as just the next iteration of search engines?

God I hope that all of these bullshit AI platforms tank these giant awful tech companies.

Biggest gang in America.

Haha I never put words in your mouth. I directly quoted you. You did that to yourself.

And what is it that I need to rethink? That genocide is bad? Y’all can “ratio” me all you want, but I will never go back on my stance that genocide is wrong and that Israel is committing war crimes and atrocities against innocent civilians.

I’m not going to try and convince you of anything, because we clearly live in different realities. You think that it’s a “hate crime” and that I’m a “Nazi” because I don’t feel bad about people shaming Israel. There is no getting through to someone that reacts in such a manner.

LMAO

“Hate speech”

“Nazi”

Found the genocidal Zionist.

Why should we be worried about the feelings of representatives of countries that are actively engaged in atrocities?

Yes I completely agree.

We should be very careful to not offend the citizens of these countries that are committing genocide.

What a terrible misstep that would be.

I really hope that these countries are never subjected to public shame.

That would be so terrible.

I hate seeing these videos knowing that the large majority of the Russian forces were conscripted.

It just feels so bad watching a man die that we know didn’t want to be there.

I mean fuck Putin and all of that, but I just can’t celebrate deaths like these.

War is terrible.

I honestly don’t know enough about the whole gamut of politicians. I guess the two politicians I align with the most with are AOC and Bernie.

I’m looking for a candidate who’s main concerns are dealing with the looming climate change crisis, shifting power from billionaires back to workers, and a strong anti-genocide stance.
