Why was this guy’s house full of mosquitos?

Are you new here? The government will absolutely compensate the companies when the bubble bursts.

Please learn the difference between PAPER WASPS (non-aggressive) and YELLOW JACKETS (super aggressive). They both look like the one on the far right, but paper wasps are friend.

Sorry this is basically an ad for a pest control company, but it does a good job at explaining the differences: https://www.lindseypest.com/resource-center/post/paper-wasps-vs-yellow-jackets-whats-the-difference

What can any of us do about anything? Everything sucks ass and I have no idea what to do. Should I talk to my literal neo nazi neighbors until I’ve somehow successfully re-educated them? That’s fucking stupid and not possible. The second they turn around from our conversation, they see a television, in their own house, in all the restaurants, in every waiting room in the country, blaring FOX News.

And I’m back from the future to say that some judge in Delaware ruled recently that corporations can vote.

It’s going to be legal to murder women in North Carolina?

That’s excellent! My dad had union health insurance for a while and it was actually very good.

Have you ever had a major medical event? If so, did your insurance company require your doctor to go through their “approved” methods for treatment before they could do what they actually thought would most quickly and effectively treat your condition? Have you ever been brought by ambulance to an emergency room that is “out of network?” Have you ever been billed for something you thought insurance was going to cover because the medical coder input a different code than the insurance company will approve? If you’ve never had any of these things happen to you, you have no concept of whether or not your insurance is “good.” Or you’re in a union and your insurance IS actually good. Lucky you in that case.

Yeah it has been known for probably a decade that this would happen and the oceans will die and that will kill us all. So are we all just going to keep going to work?

It’s only a matter of time until courts decide that citizens united doesn’t only apply to political donations, but to other “human” rights for corporations as well.

Are you implying the pack of dogs used to be people’s pets but those people got deported and the dogs have formed packs to survive? Genuinely asking. I am not in a place where lots of immigrants have settled. I do imagine there are lots of pets being completely abandoned as a result of the crime against humanity that is ice raids.

Am undiagnosed but definitely autistic. My opinion on trains is they used to scare the shit out of me when I was a child. Coal trains are all over the place where I live, and I was right up next to them while they were making terrifying loud noises. I think that ruined any interest I might have had from a distance. Now as an adult, I am very interested in the engineering and workings of trains, but not much more than the engineering and workings of all other complex engineered systems. But I’m more interested in buildings and architecture than mechanical engineering.

It’s okay, they know now to prioritize that in 2028.

Hey I said I agree with the guy and that bees have killed people… I have no idea how they affect pigs. Probably fine, let em have it

I agree with you but a few bee stings have definitely killed a lot of people.

Violin rosin. Finally :)

But are you doing any of that to your big evil company? Or is it easier to be a good worker and not risk getting fired?

I’m not sure how prevalent it is around the world, but in my area, I think this sounds like a great way to get radon poisoning. The concept for pumping cool air into a space is good though.

Eh, there is so much other stuff around this particular book store that I doubt you’d be disappointed if you went down there and it was closed. Also, this is not a typical book store. It has ancient, rare books, vintage books in all sorts of languages, and just all sorts of neat stuff you would probably never think to actually “search” for. It’s not like a books-a-million or a library even. It’s a totally unique experience you really can’t get online.

I love this bookstore!! It is very difficult to figure out if it will be open. You have to just drive or walk by and look to see if the door is open. Do you live in wheeling or nearby? If so, hi neighbor!! Didn’t think there were too many ohio valley folks on lemmy!
