Emotionally abusive parents rlly think the most logical response to have to a child not knowing how to regulate their emotions is by screaming and yelling at them
Running a gas leaf blower for 30 minutes produces roughly the same hydrocarbon pollution as driving a car 1,100 miles and shreds next summer's insects.
That's before you get to what the air does to the yard itself. Leaf blower air exits the nozzle at up to 200 miles per hour. That's enough to shred caterpillars, strip butterfly eggs off leaves, and fling overwintering fireflies, ladybugs, and ground beetles into the street.
The leaf litter being blown to the curb is where next summer's insects were waiting out the winter. A chickadee pair needs 6,000 to 9,000 caterpillars to raise one brood. Most of those overwinter in exactly the debris being removed.
California banned gas-powered leaf blowers. So did Washington DC and a growing number of cities. Germany's environment ministry advised citizens to avoid them unless "indispensable," which is a very German way of saying please stop.
The leaves can be raked into beds as mulch, mowed over and left as nutrients, or just left alone. Any of those options take roughly the same time and produce approximately zero hydrocarbon pollution and zero shredded caterpillars.
The leaf blower is loud, bad for air quality, and running a massacre on the insects that feed your birds. Is it time to ban them entirely?
I tried this challenge twice safe to say it didn’t work
-# not a challenge
-# I tried to take my life
-# you people are masking kids ending their lives as challenges to avoid taking the blame as the reason your kid is gone.
This is what I was tweeting about yesterday. We can no longer rely on the assumption ai will be visually distinct or bad looking. Yesterday I heard an ai song that was horrifyingly good to where I was shocked it was ai. You must be against ai on principle, not bc of aesthetic
No, there is no "Benadryl challenge."
Your kids are either trying to get high or are trying to kill themselves. Stop blaming the internet and start thinking about ways you can help your teenager not feel like the only escape is to hurt themself.

i really really hate “pest culture.” i’m aware that the rats that are chewing my house need to go, but it kills me that my parents decide to kill them. they are just living creatures trying to survive. not to mention the traps that were set out ended up killing >>
It’s a pretty widely accepted fact that stupid people are happier and less aware of the world around them, so it’s always weird when maga thinks this is a mic drop.
