On the subject of "I loooove death", wasn't there a cartoon featuring innocent children going through a machine labelled "Public Education" and coming out saying stuff like "God doesn't exist", and, yes, "I looove death"? Or was that an edit?

I think that was an edit of a Rob Smith Jr cartoon which I can't find

I think an edit of a cartoon about three kids going through a machine labelled "public education" instead had goons going through a machine labelled "politoons thread" and one saying "I loooove death".

The original was Rob Smith Jr.

Wait, is that a real current event? I can understand it from a bee-population standpoint, but what are you supposed to do if a hive gets built in your garage?

You'd probably be more likely to find hornets, which being predators of bees, are open game. But between pesticides and horrible loving fungus that eats their brains and makes them suicidal, US honeybees are in some serious trouble.

Some cartoonists are dense, others are hypocrites, others are shills, others are cruel, others are verifiably mentally ill. Rob Smith Jr, though, is just an idiot.

I am allergic to bees so in the bizarre off chance bees somehow make a hive in my house without me noticing I'm killing the fuckers before they can kill me. Just how it is.

doesn't help I have a deep phobia of them (probably centered around they can kill me part). Not reasonable I know but I ain't dying to no insects

I would advise against doing that and instead recommend calling a professional. Most bees aren't aggressive you aren't aggressive to them and trying to kill them is a surefire way to get them to attack you

Can we take more time to appreciate how terrible this is?

"If only Obama hadn't filled people's heads with this crazy notion that healthcare should be a right! Now we have to work EXTRA hard to convince them that if they're too poor for healthcare then they can just gently caress off and die."

Like, this cartoon can't even really be read any other way. The ONLY way this isn't a horribly repulsive cartoon is if the Republicans are supposed to be the bad guys.

I guess you could AGC it as "There's no going back on healthcare now! No matter HOW hard the GOP tries!"

But that's so close to what was actually meant that it's basically an Asay.

What about those hand-sized wasps in Japan that inject you with a poison that melts your flesh and drives nearby wasps into a flesh melting acid stinging frenzy, those seem to fill a useful niche in nature

edit gah

Ok yeah not my intention to prolong wasp derail but wtf

quote:

Unlike their European relatives, the Japanese honey bee has a defense against the hornets. When a hornet approaches the hive to release pheromones, the bee workers will retreat back to the hive, leaving an opening to allow the hornet scout to enter. The bees then emerge from their hiding places in an angry cloud formation containing some 500 individuals.[2] They form a tight ball around the attacking hornet that acts like a convection oven with the bees vibrating their wings to generate heat via muscular exertion and then directing the air warmed around them inward to the center of the ball. This causes the interior temperature of the ball to rise to 47 °C (117 °F). Additionally, the bees' activity also increases carbon dioxide concentration inside the ball. The hornet's ability to withstand heat decreases as carbon dioxide concentrations increase, ultimately causing the increased temperature to become lethal.[4]

How timely for me, thanks. I'm Canadian, and have an American friend on Facebook. She made a post of how jealous she was that I could tell her about going to the doctor a bunch and not getting billed. Of course another American chimes in that the care was probably poo poo and it's never free because taxes. I explained that I had 4 clinic visits in 5 days, 2 of the appointments were made only a few hours before going in, I waited 15 minutes at a walk-in x-ray clinic, the other appointment was the next day. I made a bit of a snarky remark that people who hate supporting and helping others like to tell stories of the horrors of the Canadian system when they're grossly over-exaggerated or completely untrue. HE then claimed that wasn't his issue, it was BIG GOVERNMENT bogging everything down. Which it doesn't. I mean, yeah, if you go to an emergency room with a broken thumb or a sneeze, you're going to wait a long-rear end time. Because there are people there literally dying who need to be helped first. If there's a lack of hospital beds or not enough doctors, it's usually when there's a conservative government in power and they got cheap/greedy and cut funding. It's not perfect, it has some faults, yes, but I love it and wouldn't trade it for the lovely US system my poor friend is subjected to.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

A bunch of bullshit myths get disseminated out because there aren't actually any good arguments in favor of the American system. "Your taxes would go up!" yeah as opposed to your premiums right loving now. "Long wait times!" yeah as opposed to the long wait times we have right loving now. "Bureaucracy would bog things down!" yeah as opposed to the infamously byzantine insurance system we have right loving now.

e: The worst part is as the idea of universal healthcare becomes more and more popular in this country the bullshit from the opposition is going to get more and more ridiculous.

Victorian era guys use to classify animals into "useful" and "scum". But since we learned about ecologies, we know every animal is part of a system and necessary, if you remove any part, the whole system is unbalanced and can collapse.

We can play favorites, but in the end we need the natural world more than the natural world need us.

Until we finish my Arcology project, thats is. A fully sustainable building where entire generations can live without going outside.
