IIRC Robin Hood never killed anyone, and Luigi didn't steal anything or give anything away...

I don't think whoever did that knows the first thing about Robin Hood...

Correct, but this would only impact the species that bite humans.

Amazing resource here with a ton of info I did not know:

https://www.livescience.com/what-if-all-mosquitoes-died

To your point, yes:

"mosquitoes are a primary food source for numerous animals, including bats, birds, frogs, fish and dragonflies, it’s likely there would be at least some ecological impacts, at least in the short term. Dragonflies, for example, are often known as mosquito hawks, owing to their ability to eat as many as 100 mosquitoes in a single day. It’s likely they, as well as a host of other critters, would, at the very least, have to change their diets somewhat."

To the larger point:

"There are around 3,500 mosquito species, but 'only around 100 will potentially bite and spread disease to humans,'"

So we eliminate the 100 species that bite humans, that still leaves 3,400 species for the bats, birds, frogs, and dragonflies.

In fact, it may not even be necessary to completely elimimate the 100 species that bite humans, kill enough of the biters, and they may evolve into a species that just doesn't bite us.

A blog site is a host of personal opinion. It's an online diary. Some of it is interesting and useful, most of it is not, none of it is journalism or news.

If a journalist is sharing space with blogs, we aren't going to allow any of it, because we aren't going through every fucking author going "is this one valid? What about this guy talking about how their dog just took a dump? How about this guy convinced robots are stealing his luggage?"

Same reason we don't allow bullshit social media like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, etc.

There's too much content to say what's valid for the community and what's not.

Does the New York Times have a Twitter account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fuck you Twitter. Does the New York Post have a Facebook account? Sure. Do we allow it? No, because fucking Facebook.

The same goes for Substack, Blogger, Blogsite, etc. We don't care who is doing the writing. It's not a valid source.

No, they don't, that's not the way it works.

Once you are registered, you are registered, you only have to re-register if you change your address.

If you change your address, you also have to update your drivers license and... ding... it updates your registration.

Then you talk to your landlord and fix your lease, super easy.

No, because they aren't hosted on Wordpress. Different deal.

Personally though, if I were making the rules? I would block NYT, Wired, and others because of the paywall bullshit. It's a wasted click to just get a paywall.

Yes, yes, you do.

It's called an I-9 form.

https://www.uscis.gov/i-9

"On the form, an employee must attest to their employment authorization. The employee must also present their employer with acceptable documents as evidence of identity and employment authorization. The employer must examine these documents to determine whether they reasonably appear to be genuine and relate to the employee, then record the document information on the employee’s Form I-9."

You either need 1 item from list A or 1 item from list B and one from C.

LIST A
Documents that Establish Both Identity and Employment Authorization

  1. U.S. Passport or U.S. Passport Card

  2. Permanent Resident Card or Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-551)

  3. Foreign passport that contains a temporary I-551 stamp or temporary I-551 printed notation on a machine- readable immigrant visa

  4. Employment Authorization Document that contains a photograph (Form I-766)

  5. For an individual temporarily authorized to work for a specific employer because of his or her status or parole: a. Foreign passport; and b. Form I-94 or Form I-94A that has the following: (1) The same name as the passport; and (2) An endorsement of the individual's status or parole as long as that period of endorsement has not yet expired and the proposed employment is not in conflict with any restrictions or limitations identified on the form.

  6. Passport from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) or the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) with Form I-94 or Form I-94A indicating nonimmigrant admission under the Compact of Free Association Between the United States and the FSM or RMI

OR - 1 from B and one from C:

LIST B
Documents that Establish Identity

  1. Driver's license or ID card issued by a State or outlying possession of the United States provided it contains a photograph or information such as name, date of birth, gender, height, eye color, and address

  2. ID card issued by federal, state or local government agencies or entities, provided it contains a photograph or information such as name, date of birth, gender, height, eye color, and address

  3. School ID card with a photograph

  4. Voter's registration card

  5. U.S. Military card or draft record

  6. Military dependent's ID card

  7. U.S. Coast Guard Merchant Mariner Card

  8. Native American tribal document

  9. Driver's license issued by a Canadian government authority

For persons under age 18 who are unable to present a document listed above:

  1. School record or report card

  2. Clinic, doctor, or hospital record

  3. Day-care or nursery school record Acceptable Receipts

LIST C
Documents that Establish Employment
Authorization

  1. A Social Security Account Number card, unless the card includes one of the following restrictions:
    (1) NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT
    (2) VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION
    (3) VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION

  2. Certification of report of birth issued by the Department of State (Forms DS-1350, FS-545, FS-240)

  3. Original or certified copy of birth certificate issued by a State, county, municipal authority, or territory of the United States bearing an official seal

  4. Native American tribal document

  5. U.S. Citizen ID Card (Form I-197)

  6. Identification Card for Use of Resident Citizen in the United States (Form I-179)

  7. Employment authorization document issued by the Department of Homeland Security

A social security card only shows you're authorized to work in the United States, it's not proof of identity.

In fact, back in the day, it used to say directly on it "Not for Identification."

 

If anyone needs a list for protest action, it's super cool for the White House to put it all in one place.

 

"Sec. 3.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

(i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

(ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

(b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

(c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person."

So, wait, doesn't all that mean this order does nothing? 🤔

 

So who's going to tell him that you don't call poison control for a fentanyl overdose? That's what 911 is for...

 

How is that going to work when you keep attacking ag. workers? 🤔
