Most species of wasp are not aggressive towards humans. I work out in my garden a lot and almost never have encounters with aggressive wasps–the only time I really do is when yellow jackets create a nest in an area that I haven’t been to in a while.

I’m having a hard time actually finding a source for this. Just a few poorly written articles that basically cite this video as a source. Something this potentially impactful seems like it would make the rounds more, so I’m very skeptical.
Funny how the objections ITT are over the items that would cause people to have to reevaluate the ethics of their dietary choices.
4·1 month agoThey’re Amazon. They don’t need the money
There’s no such thing as enough money for big businesses like Amazon. Always gotta be growing to appease the shareholders.
As someone with a background in linguistics, my jimmies are indeed rustled.
The rapid-fire memes and acknowledgment of them being memes made it cringe, IMO. If they’d just dialed it back and said something like this I think it would have been fine:
“Here’s our beautiful thicc girl, Abby! She loves to eat fish and swim with her friends. Come see her at our aquarium any time!”
I have the ADHD and unless it’s a mindless task, I can’t listen to music or it makes it much harder for me to concentrate. For anyone else with the disorder, I’d encourage you to at least give it a shot working WITHOUT music and see if it improves your concentration.
171·2 months agoMy last Ford was a Focus with the dual clutch transmission, it was a complete fucking lemon (to the point where they were successfully sued over it and have done multiple recalls to fix it). I can excuse an automaker for the occasional shit car if their overall lineup is good and they’re honest with customers, but they knew the transmission was majorly flawed and continued to manufacturer vehicles that used it anyway. I’ve had it refuse to shift while I was driving on the highway before, which left me redlining at maybe 45 MPH. Dangerous and it could have gotten someone killed. I will never buy another Ford.
61·2 months agoYeah, I’m vegan and still recognize the need for deer hunting in the US (and anywhere else where all their natural predators have been eliminated). I don’t know of any other effective method for controlling their population when no other species exists to do it. I would be totally open to reintroducing wolves, bears, big cats etc to areas where they existed historically, but I just don’t see enough popular support growing for that that it seems likely to happen anytime soon. People like their meat too much and wild predators kill free ranging livestock, plus I suspect most people are not going to want to worry about encounters while they’re out in nature (see my link below for how things have been going with the red wolf re-introduction to North Carolina, US). I mean I’m an animal lover and it still makes me a tiny bit nervous when I go out into bear country in the wild parts of my state (not that that would stop me from supporting re-introduction). Lots of people are ignorant and don’t give a shit about harming ecology if it benefits them in some way.
I wish sauna culture was more of a thing in the US. I’ve lived in places where they are common and it’s such a nice, healthy way to relax after work or on the weekend.
Have you watched the first two Raimi-directed Spiderman movies? I think they stand alone well even for someone that doesn’t typically watch superhero movies.
Requiring students to cite work is pretty common in academic writing after middle school.
