Can I just ask… what in the hell is a wet bathroom saddle??

Apparently you can revive the ones that are not dead yet by giving them sugar water (2:1 ratio).

Accounts are free and the points don’t matter here. Why share an account, what is the point of that? And most people here actually don’t do things “for the points.” If that’s what you care about, you should go back to Reddit. That’s what your questions remind me of.

Have you checked your attic? I was just reading about cluster flies, and… it looks disturbing but at least they don’t carry disease. They lay eggs in earthworms and sometimes adult flies congregate in attics.

Lol, I lived in an apartment building that was built like this. One time I overfilled my tub and got a call from the landlord saying there was water filling up the light fixture in the unit below me. He had the balls to try to blame me for the fact the overflow pipes weren’t connected to anything.

Sharks? Lol, no. At least I’ve never heard of any, and I’ve lived in the northwest for a long time. But the water is cold, yes. Also I think tsunamis are possible in that area, though uncommon. The main highway runs north-south along the coast rather than turning inland, so it might be hard to evacuate if there was one.

Been to Portland recently. There’s plenty of neighborhoods where you can walk around safely. There’s one small area of downtown where there’s a lot of homeless, and you probably want to stay away from the ICE building for obvious reasons, but other than that it’s like any other city.

Some people are just… irrationally afraid of the homeless. Most of them will not try to rob you or even bother you, but it is a good idea if you find yourself in an area like that, to pay attention to your surroundings and not get too close to anyone, just in case they start swinging their arms around wildly or something.

They saw a party balloon, panicked, tried to shoot it down with lasers but failed to inform the FAA what they were doing (it might have even been the FAA doing it which is even more hilarious), so the FAA panicked again and shut down the airspace. Just pure incompetence all around.

At this point it’s a bit ridiculous if you don’t have one. 20 years is at least three cycles of ID renewals, so people have had plenty of chances to make the switch.

Are there actual rules about noise in the hallway? If there are, is she aware of them? Is there anyone who could potentially enforce those rules other than you? If there are no rules, then it could just be a cultural difference, and good luck to you trying to enforce your own rules in public spaces. You think it’s entirely reasonable to have a silent hallway, but maybe the other lady has never lived in a quiet place her whole life. Maybe she can’t see why you would want that at all.

Not this time.

Do you understand how voting works? Each person gets one vote. Do you think I, or anyone else, could have somehow forced the 30% who didn’t vote to vote, and not only that but to vote the way we wanted them to? How am I responsible for the choices of people 2,000 miles across the country that I’ve never interacted with? Do I have any control over the propaganda these people are exposed to?

At any given time, only 30-40% of the US is actually represented by the government. At least 30% of us directly voted against all this. Comments like yours make me feel like you’re trying to erase our existence… but I’m sure that’s helpful for somebody.

Humans have always understood our experience through stories and myths. Literally every civilization throughout history has them. It’s the people who refuse to consume any fiction that I don’t understand. Even when a story is entirely fictional, surely there is still meaning in metaphor and juxtaposition and human understanding to be found.
