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.

Or how about a CIA agent?

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.
