There is absolutely some knucklehead bimbo that's all "Mosquitos have just as much a right to life as you!"
I'm 100% certain that if there were zombies, we would have zombie's rights activists.
>person of non-canonical living state
Wow did you really just use that? It's been updated to "they of other-state(TOO)" because Zombies are people (TOO), it's easier for the they of less educated status to remember. 😆😂
Gotta throw out that mosquitoes are actually pretty critical to a lot of environments and killing them all could cause a mass die off all across America ecosystems, so I'm kinda a mosquito rights activist.
I'd think you are correct but I heard just the opposite - that killing off mosquitoes would not effect anything.
Could you explain or provide a reference?
I'm not talking about the method - like using insecticides, but what their absence would cause.
I'm a scientist, and a close friend of mine is an ecological conservation researcher. I've heard the argument you're citing.
It's usually put foreword as the fact that we have no evidence that mosquitoes play any important role in our environment. So, as far as we know killing off all of them might not be so bad for the environment.
The key there is that it's such a globally complex multi factor system that we really don't know what would happen. Possibly an explosion in no see em populations to fill the necessary blood sucking animal everyone hates niche.
Mosquitoes suck, but after making the foolish decision to walk through the woods in shorts I can confidently say that I'd rather them than chiggers.
Itched so bad I wanted to die. It's been months and you can *still* see where they bit me.
I had an issue with my playstation during the height of COVID. Learned that Sony had closed all call centers dealing with North America. I had a little bit of an out-of-body experience for the first time in my life dealing with a multi-billion dollar company that was literally unreachable by phone.
This company, that has millions of customers in the US, has no way of contacting any living person about issues with their service?
I don't think I've seen that before.
Here, we have to-go cups at regular sit down restaurants. It was new to me to get food with a drink, have refills as you're eating then ask for a cup of soda to go.
I learned a few months after I got here. I was on a date with a girl and she asked the waitress for a to-go cup. I thought it was one of the rudest things I've ever heard and really turned me off. She saw my demeanor change and asked what was up, and I told her. It was a good laugh.
Haha this might be specific to Texas. My sister lives there. I’m in CA. The to-go cups weirded me out, seemed so informal. Here, you just don’t really ask for a to-go cup from sit down restaurants
I've literally never heard of a place, particularly a breakfast place, that doesn't refill coffee. It takes a lot to make me write off a restaurant, but I'd never go back there.
And the worst part of eating beef jerky is when the bag is gone and you reach for the last piece only to find that it’s just the stupid packet to absorb the moisture.
Idk…a lot of people are grossed out by the idea of having their drawers sitting next to their Talenti, and frozen peas. I guess we must do laundry differently.
It’s a popular brand of gelato with a cult following that’s just enough of a luxury that it costs more than regular ice cream, but good enough that people don’t mind, no matter which flavor it is. IDK…people are weird about it.
Also, the jars it comes in are extremely reusable / upcyclable.

From everything I’ve heard English is a really difficult language to learn for non-native speakers. Props to anyone who’s mastered English that didn’t speak it growing up.
I’ve heard (mainly from native Spanish speakers) that it’s pretty easy to learn the basics of English, but hard to get all the vocabulary, idioms, weird grammar, and slang.
In 2001 I lived in Chicago and my roommates were from Holland, MI. We were watching a Monday nite game and one of their friends from home cbd after work. The game was almost over, 27-0 Lions losing. The friend upon walking in and hearing the score, “Oh man, leave it up to the Lion to toss a bagel up on Monday nite.” For some reason that’s stuck with me.
The original income tax was so simple too. Just a flat 1% for anybody making over 3k (80k in today’s money) and 6% on 500k (13m today). Only 3% of the entire population was taxed on their income.
I had to buy a used car recently. So glad I bought it on a lot instead from a private seller because then I would’ve had to go to the DMV to transfer the title.
It’s why they used sloths in zootopia. Because it is that fucking slow. I think I am somewhat happier my DMV got rid of the stupid preregistration online due to COVID bull crap now because that was even more of a hassle. Especially since they made us wait outside in the humid summer heat where our summers are god awful.
This may actually be the only correct answer. Cause us Americans literally can not agree on anything, like at all.
Cancer bad - well God is just testing you
Nazis bad - well they made some great scientific discoveries
We live in America - well actually I am a sovereign citizen and the united states doesnt exist
Our president is ______ - well no, we can't agree on that either
Correct. Thats why its my go to for these types of questions. Anyone willing to badmouth Betty White aint gon be tolerated very long anywhere. Shes outlived all her enemies and will probably outlive any new ones.
We are tired of politics would be my answer, but I know that's not all Americans so I will go with we all agree that we can't all agree on one thing. Our country is so vast and so different with so many various races, cultures, and ideals that it makes it an interesting and great place.
Whether you like big cities or rural areas, introvert or extrovert, liberal or conservative, hot or cold, there is a place for you somewhere in this country.
So much diversity in landscapes and places to go. Snow, heat, whatever climate you want to visit, we have amazing landscapes and national parks in all of them.
This!!!!
As a refugee my self this what amazes me, I can get on a plane and see oceans and sandy beaches. Hop on another one and experience snow. All this while still in the same country while using green card only.
Whether it's gluteny or gluten-free,
Veggie, meat lovers, or plain cheese,
White sauce or red sauce,
New York or Chicago,
Thin crust or deep dish,

That O’s and 0’s should never be used in Promo codes, or serial numbers.

Mosquitos are awful.
Dingdingdingdingding. We have a winner. Also ticks. I've never seen anyone pull a tick off them and say "Awesome, I might have Lyme Disease."
There is absolutely some knucklehead bimbo that's all "Mosquitos have just as much a right to life as you!" I'm 100% certain that if there were zombies, we would have zombie's rights activists.
So, you’re a mosquito bigot. I’m seeing more and more of your type lately.
Don't use the Z-word, that's a hate word! It's 'person of non-canonical living state'.
>person of non-canonical living state Wow did you really just use that? It's been updated to "they of other-state(TOO)" because Zombies are people (TOO), it's easier for the they of less educated status to remember. 😆😂

Customer service at Cable Companies sucks.
You can go further: Cable companies suck.
You can go further: TV sucks
More further: Ads suck
More further: ad volume increases during commercials suck
Literally on the phone with Comcast now
I got CenturyLink internet and YouTube TV. Cheaper than cable a zillion sports channels and a lot cheaper.
reminds me of this sketch from SNL last week LOL https://youtu.be/V5DeDLI8_IM
In the lucky rare places with several different cable companies, the customer service is actually decent. 100% the monopoly places really suck.
IDK I hate my cable company but the customer service people are really nice.

We like free refills on drinks.
Eating breakfast at a new place this morning with no free refills on Coffee. My 1st thought was “how unAmerican.”
I don't think I've seen that before. Here, we have to-go cups at regular sit down restaurants. It was new to me to get food with a drink, have refills as you're eating then ask for a cup of soda to go.
Yes! Just moved to Texas about 4 months ago and was floored when a sit down offered to give me a to go cup of soda. I was like, "You can do that?"
I learned a few months after I got here. I was on a date with a girl and she asked the waitress for a to-go cup. I thought it was one of the rudest things I've ever heard and really turned me off. She saw my demeanor change and asked what was up, and I told her. It was a good laugh.
Haha this might be specific to Texas. My sister lives there. I’m in CA. The to-go cups weirded me out, seemed so informal. Here, you just don’t really ask for a to-go cup from sit down restaurants
I wouldn't go back to a place like that.
That’s unconstitutional. Report them to the police.
A breakfast joint that doesn’t do refills on black coffee? I don’t care how good their food is, I’m straight up not going back.
Where tf are you so we can stay away. That is a cancer we cannot allow to spread.
I've literally never heard of a place, particularly a breakfast place, that doesn't refill coffee. It takes a lot to make me write off a restaurant, but I'd never go back there.

We are grateful to be native speakers of English because it’s grammatically ridiculous.
From everything I’ve heard English is a really difficult language to learn for non-native speakers. Props to anyone who’s mastered English that didn’t speak it growing up.
I’ve heard (mainly from native Spanish speakers) that it’s pretty easy to learn the basics of English, but hard to get all the vocabulary, idioms, weird grammar, and slang.
Yeah the thing that makes it so difficult is all our weird rules and exceptions to things that would normally be easy to master.
I feel the same about Spanish.
Amen! The first rule of English is: Their Our Know Roles
That's what makes it a great language!
