Basically any youtube video on diy fixes. Hate to see a 5min video for a 10 sec fix.

In Europe and North America, and there were still 13,000 AIDS-related deaths in 2021. Global total in the same year was 650,000.

Speak for yourself! I generally refuse subscriptions. I still buy movies as Bluray/UHD disk and music on CD. I buy kindle books, but I refuse to subscribe for them. About the only subscription I have is Prime since it pays for itself with free shipping so the video streaming it provides is basically a bonus (and I rarely use it).

He needs to be convicted freaking Orange orangutan

Decent quality clothes period. I'm not buying suoer expensive stuff like millionaires do, but the regular expensive stuff - like my Calvin Klein work dress from Macy's - I've bought 2. The hems of both completely fell out in a month.

My wife and I have accepted the fact that we will never be able to buy a house again.

It has been more than 10 years since I've seen a firefly, and when I was kid, it used to be a light show in my granddad's garden.

Welcome to climate change

This is at least as dangerous, if not more, than global warming. Insects are critical to the environment. If you don't think so, look at what happened when China tried to eliminate mosquitos. A famine that killed MILLIONS. Without insects, we cannot survive.

Lighting bugs have dropped off substantially the last 5 to 10 years

We can thank Monsanto for this! Why bother with ecologically safe farming practices when you can just buy the genetically engineered Roundup(watered down version of Agent Orange) resistant seeds from Monsanto(now owned by Bayer) and then simply spray the living 💩 out of your crops??? Oh sure you're destroying the local environment, but we gotta get this capitalist machine going!!!

Our backyard has two huge trees, and in the summer we still see swarms of fireflies chilling on the leaves. They’re not gone, but I think they have migrated due to weather changes.

Come to Pennsylvania, you'll get all the bugs you've been missing.

We talked about this last year. In the UK 30 years ago I would have to clean my window screen and number plate hard after a weekend to get rid of the impacted insects. Over the last 10 years I think I can count the amount of insects that have hit my window screen on one hand.

I have seen fireflies the last two years in Missouri. However, my car is never covered with bugs like it used to be in the 80s. I spent all of my time cleaning my windshield then. Now I don't need to do that at all.

Come to Montana

Thank the bats in your area - they eat TONS of them every night.

The more natural your yard, the more insects you'll get. Lawns are not their natural habitat, and many flower bed plants are not the native species they're attracted to.

We've got a wildflower garden, loads of bees, butterflies and moths, got a hummingbird moth last year, strange things they are.

That's right. Even if it was annoying to have a windscreen covered with dead insects, them being gone is not a good sign

I remember as a kid the insects came in seasons in ranch country. Aphids then grasshoppers and ladybugs, then frogs. Seasonally there was life everywhere, now it's all gone due to pesticide over-usage. And it's frustrating cause the people killing everything, and the planet, are the people who deny climate change and really any science they don't like

Here in Mississippi, they are still very plentiful. Like all year long!!! 😂

most insects habitat in the sky at around the 2km zone,it's chocka block up there

Where's this? The prairies is still swarmed with bugs every summer. I will say, mosquitoes are not as much of a problem in the city from the aggressive fogging and spraying of insecticide chemicals. It's been pleasant but I'm sure a lot of good insects have been reduced.

Much of the insect disappearance is due to LED lighting.

When I was a kid I saw caterpillars and daddy long legs everywhere. Not anymore.

Eh, here in south part of chicago, we get them every summer - this year there were tons of them. We have pollinator gardens in our backyard, so that does help.

This hurts my soul!!

They are still around.

meh, I'm cool with people dancing as long as they are not obstructing anything. People who yell at kids in public, watch video's on loud volume without headphones or leave their rubbish everywhere, well, shame on them.

Stupid people have existed since the dawn of time. With the connectivity of the internet and social media, you are just seeing more of them.

Whoever invented a way for voicemail to be automatically turned into text is a genius. I haven't checked my voicemail in YEARS.

It is now 'The cost of existing'

This one comes and goes in cycles.

This is such a garbage summary of how journalism works. Objectivity doesn't mean taking sides or not taking slides, it means, seeking and citing your sources and changing your viewpoint if the evidence points that way. The New York Times is a fantastic newspaper. There are consequences for their journalists if they write stories that are full of lies. They would write a correction or retraction if they make one little mistake. Things like Fox News are an entirely different animal. They don't fact check the vast majority of anything they say, and many of their opinion shows are labeled as news. This false equivalency stuff of "the right and the left are equally bad" is part of the problem. To insinuate that a fascist friendly American nationalist group is the same as an imperfect center left party makes no sense.

We used to hang out in diners and drink free coffee refills until the sun came up when I was a teen. #GothVibes

I am very thankful here we have one of the best places in the world for star gazing.

Copration greed destroyed it

I mean there was that comment about how TVs would never catch on because Americans didn't have long enough attention spans. So I'm not sure this is a new thing.

Are we talking in person or on the internet? Because anonymity seems to trigger the "I'm an a*****e" gene in most people. But for some reason if you talk to them in person they're much more subdued.

Our local newsagent closed down in the last six months. Too few people buying newspapers and magazines. And the other stuff like pens and stationary were dying too because kids (and adults) are using computers/tablets/phones more and more. I've also seen quite a few magazines now offer digital subscriptions so why even buy a paper copy anymore?

I don't think we have ever has access to as much free information as we do now.

They do exist. They just don't get the same hits. So you have to search harder to find them. Forums or discords are the best way to get genuine reviews. eg: Don't go to 4wdcampingdotcom, go to 4WDcampinngforumdotcom and look for comments from real people not influencers or professional reviewers. They may not be as well written but they're going to be more honest.

I n Australia, we still have them. The law requires that there must be a public phone network. A little while back, the operator (Telstra) decided that the money they took in and the effort of collecting it was not worth it, so now all public phones are free. Cost nothing to use.

It's going to get worse. Imagine being able to snap a pic and reverse image search the person across the bar. Within minutes you're in their social media posts. You've got the name of their kid/pet/whatever. This technology exists today and it's creepy as hell.

Americans were always crazy.

wait, you have money???

They exist. Just further away from city centers now.
