  • Ticks, sure, plenty of things to eat them and they’re only a problem a few times of year here. But I think the ecosystem will survive the removal of mosquitos, even if some animals might suffer for a while or perish as well. Flies come close to the amount of annoyance I receive from the mosquito, but not close enough. I hate them so much, my perception of what seasons I like and hate is entirely dependant on if mosquitos (and other bugs) are around more often.

    In the same way you’ve learned to tolerate bugs, I used to be fearful of spiders, though I never hated them. Nowadays I love to see a spider making itself at home in my room, the kitchen, the porch, the basement, etc. A bug trap installing itself at no cost to me, what could be better?


  • I take this mentality a little further, and block users if there are 2 or more of their posts on my feed. I got sick of seeing the same people again and again, and at some point it just turned into an iron rule of mine. I wish I could auto block or mute new accounts until they’re no longer new, because most of the accounts I block are less than a week old, and I assume they stop their spamming after a while, but I guess I won’t be learning.
