Researchers say fireflies thrive in climates that are warm and wet
Grass is absolute dog shit at keeping the ground conducive to bugs like firefly’s.
If you let broadleafs like clover spread, it keeps the sun off the ground which prevents it from drying out. That makes it better for the larva, and you’ll see more adults flying around.
Because of their visibility, they make a good barometer for how environmentally friendly your yard is.
Medical documentation still isn’t required, and only the direct supervisor can make a decision…
So this can be met by a supervisor saying “you still need telework, right?” Once a year.
There may be pressure from higher ups to deny telework, but this is why we have a chain of command.
Just need middle management to plant their feet for employees
In case you’re wondering how anyone can think the climate is the big issue…
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yassamin_Ansari
In 2025, Ansari was among a minority of House Democrats to back legislation rebuking the International Criminal Court (ICC) over arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders. Ansari argued that the ICC’s actions were inappropriate, stating that “As a liberal democracy with an independent judiciary, Israel has the responsibility of investigating allegations of wrongdoing”.[47]
And
According to financial disclosures, Ansari’s father lent her between $250,000 and $500,000 for a condo payment.[49] Ansari’s financial disclosures from October 2023 showed that she owns two properties in downtown Phoenix and made between $15,000 and $50,000 in 2023 by renting one. Ansari also estimated in the disclosure that her assets were worth between $2.5 million and $8.3 million.[50]
She’s a millionaire landlord whose also pro-genocide…
The climate is pretty much the only aspect of the party platform voters and her agree on. She can’t talk about fixing any of the other big issues.
Good?
Shit ain’t exactly stable for 99.9% of us.
If arresting pedos also substantially changes the way our society works, that’s a win-win
“This is why the criticism doesn’t matter to us when you call us Nazis. ‘Nazi this and Nazi that.’ You know, I’m beginning to think they don’t like us. You know what? I’ve said this before. We need to learn from the Blacks, the way they were able to remove the power from the n-word by using it. So, from now on, it’s, ‘What up, my Nazi? Hey, what up, my Nazi? Hey, what’s hanging, my Nazi?’”
They really don’t understand anything they’re talking about…
But everyone else is already calling them Nazis, I don’t have a problem with them calling themselves Nazis.
Might make some of their voters realize they’re the baddies…
Any Dem governor not doing the same needs voted out
We dont have time for politicians who think we still have time to hold back.
India is a huge country with lots of wealth inequality.
While there have been gains in the last decade, in some areas it’s still common to not have indoor toilets in every residence, that’s people dealing with poverty.
It’s not like they just don’t want bathrooms, they can’t afford them.
Cracking jokes at their expense is very bad form, but there’s an equal chance you were just ignorant and legitimately asking, so I’m leaving the comment up.
But in any area where “open defecation” is widespread in a community, it’s almost never because everyone prefers it. It’s what happens when the infrastructure for a biological need doesn’t exist. There’s literally no other option.
The sticking point would be actively trying to remember something would look like lying.
Like, ask someone their name and they’ll answer immediately just yanking straight from memory.
Ask them where they were on Dec 2nd 2017, and them trying to remember is going to look like them trying to come up with a story.
The issue is when we don’t know an answer, it’s normal to just make shit up but be confident it’s the truth.
We learned a lot about that from split brain patients, but since we’re not cutting brains in half anymore, we can’t really study it. Just review the old case folders from the brief window it was a thing and those patients didn’t understand what was happening
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
I meant in general that is what’s happening in 2015…
based on your personal, ever changing, in-group language.
Again, this isn’t a personal opinion, there have been multiple academic studies showing the effect language choices like this on thinking since the 1980s at least.
It’s not “ever changing” but if 40 some years is too fast for you, lots of conservatives feel the same.
I just don’t spend a lot of time interacting with someone who views a personal inconvenience like this apparently is as such a big deal and worth hurting others.
But again, lots of conservatives do. MAGA 100% agrees with you, and regretably there’s a lot of them these days.
So I’ll leave you free to talk with the people you agree with.
The Gen Z stare is typically described as a vacant, unresponsive gaze, often replacing traditional greetings or small talk in service roles. Millennials and older generations have taken to social media to share stories of being met with this stare by young workers, interpreting it as a sign of disengagement or a lack of soft skills. Gen Zers, in turn, argue that the stare is a reaction to awkward or nonsensical customer interactions, or simply a preference for authenticity over forced pleasantries.
This has been a thing since at least the 1980s…
Hard to find good old pictures these days cuz there’s so much ai slop, but:

The girl on the right exhaling smoke is 100% the same vibe and has been a response by teens to older people trying to engage them for literal generations now.
I’d bet money on everyone complaining about it t now, did it at least once to someone else when they were younger.
They’re just mad they’re just n the other side of it now.
You’re arguing about word choices and message
Because that effects how people think and treat others…
This isn’t just my opinion, this has been studied extensively, not just for word choice within one language but how different languages cause people to think differently.
I thought you just weren’t aware, but I provided a couple sources and you’re getting angry and still wanting to aide with the fascists on the right…
That kind of only leaves one reason for why you’re still denying science…
So something like “begging person” or “beggarly person”?
Why are you so insistent to use “beg”?
“Someone asking for donations” maintains their dignity and communicates the point clearly…
Personally, if you called me a German, a furry or a vegetarian, I wouldn’t mind, even though none of these attributes encompass my entire existence.
Ok…
But we don’t call people what we would like to be called, we don’t set the minimum of respect for everyone else
If didn’t have a home, job, or food, you might be less willing to be dehumanized.
The privileged are usually the least sensitive to that.
Like, I’m 6’4", if someone that’s 6’6" walked up and said “Hey shorty, what’s up”. I won’t give a single fuck.
If I was a 5’2" man, I might be offended, and if I said a 5’2 man had to be ok with it because I was, I’d be a jackass.
That’s literally preschool level empathy, and it’s depressing so many people here never learned that
So…
Not only do you view dehumanizing language as “no big deal” you’re actively choosing to spend your free time online to argue with people about how we shouldn’t put any effort into it.
Like…
Are you just ignorant on how language changes thinking? Or do you understand how serious this is and just deciding to side with the fascists on this (and probably other) topics?
https://news.umich.edu/word-choice-hidden-meanings-can-influence-our-judgment/
https://studyfinds.org/language-influences-reality/
Like. This should be “common sense” but there’s been studies on it for decades.
Do you really not understand how word choices effect a message?
A direct link to social media would still be against the rules for this community…
…
We’re fighting fascism buddy…
If someone saying it’s better to use adjectives than nouns is enough for you to want to meet in the middle with fascists, it sounds to me you were looking for an excuse to tell people to get closer to fascism
If it’s essential…
Why are we letting a private corporation who only cares about increasing profit margin in the next quarter?
Shouldn’t that be a nationalized industry so we can plan what’s best for the country long term?
Why are we privatizing something so necessary?
You’re not supposed to follow logic to it’s rational end!!!
If we did that, capitalism wouldn’t still be happening!
It’s insane how many people keep posting screenshots of social media
Go on… what is the newer term?
Using adjectives to describe an aspect of a person instead of a noun to reduce them to a single aspect…
Isn’t their big problem that what’s already happening?
