That insect decline study was rubbish.

They may be declining, but that study didn’t prove it.

There have been a lot of studies about insect decline, I don't care which one was specifically in vogue long enough to get some popsci articles. Insect decline, overall, in North America, is a matter of fact.

language is complex thing, and the reasons why we choose certain words over other words that mean approximately the same thing is a varied web of history, culture, audience, and individual preferences.

anyways welcome to being human. if you'd like to explore this topic in greater detail you can do other human things like look at wikipedia for too long until you get distracted by food or YouTube.

What if employers offer to pay the debt in exchange for a term of service? Also breaking your contract means jail time.

perhaps you've encountered some of these insects in your community,
displaying both their predatory and defense characteristics,
while imbedded within the walls of flesh

Kept hearing about that blink182 guy and the alien footage or something so i searched youtube for 'fighter jet alien footage' to see that video again and holy poo poo when did youtube become like this with all the results for poo poo being lousy with news corps? These are the results for pages:



I also tried in a private window to try and prevent my previous searches from affecting the results. poo poo is disgusting and dystopic

The good news is it's only U.S. news corps. Meaning you can still emigrate to Canada or wherever and get away from this specific insanity. In a way. In theory.
