@Alex_mac1996@IwriteOK Plenty of states ban fireworks sales. People drive over the state line and buy them at roadside stalls by the border. They cause devastating wildfires, and remain legal. Nothing short of a federal ban would have any real impact. Not likely to happen.
@studiostassi@auderdy My area has several species of birds of prey. Enough so that outdoor cats are rare. Probably wouldn’t help with bears or coyotes though
@AnaKasparian Context matters. My mother hasn’t had a uterus in ~30 years. Menopausal women don’t menstruate as a rule. Trans men often can and do menstruate. These are terms used when talking about pregnancy and periods. We aren’t trying to erase you. We’re trying to not misgender them.
@TheSamBaldwin@fasc1nate $1million isn’t as much as it sounds like. The median home price for single family houses in the area was over half a mil and rising.
@fasc1nate Only $1 million? They just straight up lowballed her. That’s not even enough to buy a comparable replacement, much less pay for moving expenses
@EyesThatSee3 @kayfey@HellcatBruce You lost me with the second sentence. Fish people stories are hugely varied, turning up in a vast array of cultures, but the etymological roots of “mermaid” predate modern English by a substantial margin.
@ZedstarRocks@JortsTheCat@katiedidwhat We have papaya in the US, but pawpaws are something different. Evidently their flowers smell like rotting vegetation to attract pollinators. They can be cultivated but so far aren’t great commercial crops
@RebelHeartCrue @turtletesticles@HuffPost He coulda gone the way of Terry Crews. The actual outcome makes it feel like he doesn’t realize that he’s not the only person to have this experience
@JingzhiWU5@hankgreen Assuming they would get a mild case: vaccinate so they don’t spread it to their whole kindergarten class. Those kids may likewise be fine but I can’t say the same for their families.
@jamieloftusHELP I got a pity pass on my driving test at 18. I then went fifteen years without driving. Still don’t unless I have to. The anxiety meds can only help so much.
@JortsTheCat@Psylphen They’re as much whales as sperm whales or beluga whales. Orcas are dolphins, but dolphins are toothed whales just like porpoises, sperm whales, and beluga whales. Filter feeding whales are not toothed, but they’re all cetaceans.
