Huh, didn't think this was true on first glance, but it is if taken worldwide. In the US, bites are still high, but there are very few deaths from them.
Most of the deaths come from rabies in countries that don't have widely available rabies vaccines. This seems like a solvable problem like tuberculosis if greed didn't get in the way.
There are no dates on this post or sources. I can't find that this survey exists. I confirmed Bailey is still a professor at Northwestern University.

Anyone else have any info on this? Was this a survey that already happened? That reddit user may have just been created for this survey a year ago and it's old news.
When fruit get to good mushy point, put in fridge to stop from getting bad mushy fast. Fruit then stay good mushy longer and give more time to eat before bad mushy happen.
A question for those who have a partner, how did you manage to do it and how long did it take?
Find a hobby you're interested in if you don't have one already. Find a group in your area that meets up to discuss or engage in that hobby in person. Make friends with the people in that group by just existing around them and talking about your shared interest. Maybe one of those friendships turns into a relationship, maybe not.
Don't think of the people there as potential partners but as people you like spending time with and genuinely enjoy being around. If one of those friendships has mutual attraction and becomes a partnership, that's great! If not, you'll probably meet other people through them and maybe one of those will turn into a relationship.
Examples of hobbies for introverts that provide more structure for interaction and can have limited talking if needed:
I'd add on that most on the left have also studied enough to know that people love martyrs and that very few deaths of public figures would substantially change our society.
I'd describe myself as a raging leftist, and I can count on one hand the people whose assassination I think would result in beneficial change for our society even with any blowback of support and counter assassinations. MTG has never been close to that level.
Dismantling systems of oppression and changing the way people think is far more effective.

Have you heard of face blindness? I have kind of the same thing but with cars. As long as it's the same color, they all look more or less the same to me unless they have bumper stickers. I also travel a lot for work, so I'm constantly getting new rentals that are all a bit different, so I never remember what I'm driving.
Those factors combined with having a poor awareness of where I am in physical space and time most days has caused me to get into the wrong car way more times than I'd like to admit. I'm just going to say it's well into the double digits.
It's kind of surprising how many people just leave their cars completely unlocked. I always lock mine, and when the door just opens after I hit the button to unlock my car, I assume I'm getting into the right one until it feels wrong when I sit down or if I try to put the key in the ignition and it doesn't fit. The number of times this has happened would be higher if more people didn't lock their cars. I quickly realize it's the wrong car if I try to unlock it and it doesn't unlock.
Luckily there's a racing game that came out this year that answered this long asked question.

A yearly meeting with your boss where they either tell you all the things you did great and maybe a couple small things you can improve on while not paying you more, or they tell you how terrible you did and try to pressure you into doing more work by hanging the threat of your job (homelessness, loss of insurance, death) over your head.
It's a well known phenomenon that Rickrolling has lost popularity over the past decade. This article covers the issue in more detail.

Sure thing! Here's a few recipes.
Pretty standard black bean burger recipe. It uses a "flax egg" which is flaxseed meal and water and is used a lot in vegan baking. You can omit the sauce and just use whatever you like on a burger. You can also make it cheaper by using dried beans instead of canned.https://www.ambitiouskitchen.com/ultimate-black-bean-burgers-with-tahini-garlic-cream/

Learning to cook vegan is a bit of a different mindset from meat, and teaches you to use seasonings way more. My general advice for trying to put together vegan meals is always have a protein (tofu, seitan, edamame, any bean/lentil, quinoa, or oats), some veg, and a seasoning mix or a sauce. That and balance out the oil, acid (vinegar, citrus juice, etc), and spiciness is most of how I do my cooking when I just want to throw together some food and don't have a recipe in mind or want to tweak a recipe to fit my tastes.

For many of us, reducing ecological harm is one of the big motivators, and many vegans apply this mindset elsewhere. I'm also in the US, and it's pretty hard to avoid needing a car outside of major cities which I can't fault any vegans for. Many of the vegans I know are activists for public transit and one in particular has worked to improve it immensely in their city.
Anticapitalist sentiment is pretty huge in vegan spaces. There's a leftist to vegan pipeline and vice versa. Ironically being vegan is pretty big in punk spaces now too.
I won't pretend there aren't plenty of people who are vegan more for the aesthetics rather than the principles because for some reason it caught on as a trend among the remnants of the "upper middle class" for whatever that means with the ever growing wealth disparity. There's a huge supply of overpriced vegan options, but you can also eat vegan super cheap too without shelling out for the pricey fake meat options. I can make a ton of seitan or black beans burgers at home for almost nothing, but it's $$$ at the grocery store.

So, yes, bugs count as meat and eating them outright is avoided by most vegans, but it's impossible to not eat remnants of dead bugs in produce. The agricultural process inherently involves the death of bugs, and that's literally unavoidable.
Some vegans try to avoid the kinds of figs that require wasps to die, but most of the figs in grocery stores are artificially pollinated and don't have wasps in them.
Personally, I'm not going out of my way to avoid produce that has marginally higher bug death. Being vegan is already a pain in the ass without putting further restrictions on "is eating X plant really vegan because it requires Y?" It's still a way better environmental impact than meat, and I hate the purity tests a lot of online vegan spaces turn into. Most other vegans I've met IRL are chill and we can have reasonable discussions around that sort of thing without people getting into a fit over it.

It perpetuates the myth of recycling and puts the onus on the consumer and state to recycle instead of the corporations to stop using containers that pollute the environment, will be in the environment for decades without breaking down, and is likely causing yet unknown harm in our bodies since plastic is inside all of us now.
The first of the "3 R's" is reduce but instead of that being the focus because it hurts their bottom line, they prop up recycling and sell the lie that we can keep living as is if we just recycle more and get better at recycling.

I don't think you realize how much voter suppression is in the US. Those in power don't want us voting and are still trying to put up more barriers against it.
I didn't realize how much voter suppression there was till I moved to a more progressive state where I was shocked I didn't have to jump through a ton of hoops to vote and could register online. This was recent too not years ago.
