Yeah, they're both pieces of shit but Trump is fundamentally pretty lazy... remember when he rode around in a golf cart when he met with the G7 and they walked through Sicily?

Musk is doing a great job of taking the flak for super unpopular shit that Trump wants to do, AND he seems like he's actually motivated to put in the work.

And Gen X gets completely forgotten, as usual.

A lot of Japanese bidets have a water AND seat heating feature, no need for hot water hookup. I know it seems expensive but it's very well-made and I'm very happy with mine.

And do what exactly? Having militaries intervene on political processes doesn't have the best history of turning out well.

Unless I misinterpreted your argument, it seemed like you were justifying this practice based on the fact that other animals besides us inflict pain and suffering on other animals. If that is the core argument, then to be logically consistent, you'd have to also be ok with us doing everything else I mentioned.

Animals also rape each other (and sometimes other species), kill the children of other fathers, urinate and shit wherever they want... To be logically consistent, you're also arguing that all of those things are fine for us to do too.

Being able to grow mushrooms legally would be fucking sick and would make the next four years a bit less shitty.

Requiring students to cite work is pretty common in academic writing after middle school.

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.

I'm working on converting my entire yard to natives eventually, so I'll make sure to get a bunch of seeds or plugs for it when I do. Joe pye is so awesome. Absolute butterfly/bee magnet.
