this is the gay agenda and i LOVE it
You should break up with her then
but BUT what if you’re gay AND a law enforcer?
then you’re a traitor to the community
What about Captain Holt???
Imagine my shock as a neurodivergent teen when I first realized that using large vocabulary and eloquent speech doesn't make you less likely to be misinterpreted, rather it adds an entirely new layer of misinterpretation I had never even realized existed in the form of people thinking you're being snobbish or condescending when you're just trying to be specific
We're rapidly approaching someone on here saying "they didn't tell us what the three branches of the US government are." in earnest.
It needs to be stressed that the majority of instances of "we weren't taught this in school" you see now are about information that we were taught in school, the commentator in question just wasn't paying attention.
And hey look I was right! There is literally no way you went to any type of school for years on end as a child/teenager and the subject of WWII not eventually be discussed. For my personal reference I think I was taught about WWII on four separate occasions in history classes between elementary and high school. The person in this screenshot is actively lying, they are covering up whatever amount of ignorance they hold and blaming it on some nebulous ill-defined error of the American education system. You were taught about WWII, don't fucking lie and say you weren't.
I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.
In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!
Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.
Anyway dragonfly for admiration:

Everything is something’s habitat. You might as well not go outside for fear of stepping on some larval beetle.
This is hugely missing the point. The idea is to enjoy what’s left of our natural spaces while having as little an impact as possible. It’s not difficult to avoid intentionally destroying habitat. I recommend looking into the Leave No Trace principle which is very important for conservation. Cynicism doesn’t help anything.
You can read more about Leave No Trace here.
A few rock stacks here and there wouldn’t have much of an impact alone. But in parks that see thousands or even millions of visitors each year, when you have people like you saying, “sure, literal scientists and park rangers are telling me not to do this, but surely that doesn’t apply to ME,” the effect is huge. Please attempt to see the bigger picture. You are not so special that YOU get to ignore the rules and continue intentionally destroying habitat even after you’ve been told it’s harmful.
hey, does anyone want to lock antlers and drown together in a cold lake? it has to be weird.
