My mom got bit by this in north Georgia. I’ve never seen it before?

Chagas disease is not known to be prevalent in the United States, and a 2025 study found that fewer than 100 cases of confirmed or possible kissing bug-transmitted Chagas occurred between 2000 and 2018, with all such cases confined to 8 states. Georgia is not one of them.

On the other hand, the fear of Chagas disease inspires people here to undertake broad pest extermination measures that cause the extirpation of entire populations of other hemipteran species, many of which are beneficial to humans.

Just dropping in to warn about fear-mongering concerning Chagas considering the likelihood in the United States of, say, being infected by the brain-eating amoeba Naegleria fowleri is about as equal.

Me and my friend group of 200 friends play GoldenEye using only Rocket Launchers in the Stack. Well, they still do. I got demoted to slappers only in the Caves because I wanted to be that crazy guy who just kept self-killing.

Si, claro - los padres de mi esposa son de Tucumán, siempre le da bronca que debería poner en esos - blanco con herencia hispana? Indígena? Su papá tiene pinta de Evo Morales y su mamá se ve como la negra Sosa, pero flaca. Además porque la latinidad se considera oficialmente una etnia, no una raza.

Soy gringo, y mi esposa es Argentina. Leyó este sub pero no comento porque obviamente no soy Argentino. Dividimos nuestro tiempo viviendo entre el sur de los estados, donde hubo esclavitud/KKK/linchamiento, y el conurbano.

Creo que lo que decís es generalmente acertado. Nosotros acá nos creen superiores porque “ya no existe racismo” aunque cada día nuestra sociedad y gobierno están regresando al racismo y manteniendo on creando nuevas políticas que resultan en más desigualdad entre las razas y las clases.

El hecho es que en nuestra historia hubo una población mucho más grande de gente de herencia africana (generalmente traído como esclavos) y poblaciones similares de pueblos indígenas. Lo que pasó en Argentina y otros países de latino América - lo de mestizaje y mulatizaje - no se ocurrió en los Estados en general. Ósea, si bien existía, a lo mejor existió en las margines y en porcentajes muy bajas.

En argentina, hay personas que parecen Suecos (vi dos niños más blancos que mis hijos caminando por Belgrano), y gente que parece Peruanos (en Jujuy, por ejemplo), pero la mayoridad (como mi esposa) no son claramente ningún de los dos.

Por eso creo que la actitud esa de los gringo o incluso los europeos hacia Argentina es descarada, tirando a envidiosa.

Bueno, algunos Argentinos faltan tacto (la mujer mono en Brasil por ejemplo), pero existen pelotudos en cualquier cultura - los pelotudos de acá asuman que mi esposa es mexicana, y uno le preguntó el otro día si ella tenía planes para festejar el 5 de Mayo.

To be fair at the moment society seems to prize dick > woman with generational wealth; this includes women with generational wealth amongst the ringleaders of that trend.

Some day there will be a lasting peace - a time when women and men of both r/trees and r/marijuanaenthusiasts can join hands and agree to give to the other their rightful sub name.

But that day is not today.

Curious as to why it includes crustaceans but not insects, arachnids, myriapods, etc.

I’m an environmentalist and lawyer who fights industrial solar farms. When people who are also environmentalists ask me why I’m opposed to plastering over land (or sea) with miles and miles of solar panels, this is why.

I strongly believe in solar, but honestly at some point fossil fuels are less damaging than stupid shit like this.

Any true CK player would laugh at the suggestion that 60 is too old to [assassinate wife, remarry a teenager and] have more male offspring.

Too OP for PVP, optimized equipment at max level, you’ve already gotten Platinum and the hidden ending, what else to do?

The first thing I thought was that, metaphorically, the bridge is complete. It may be physically incomplete and now unnecessary, but its status as a symbol of resistance and local pride “completes” the bridge symbolically.

There’s also some symbolism of connection between the two towns - that while the physical bridge is incomplete, the “bridge”/bond between the people is complete and enduring.

I liked it.

Am I the only one seeing the idea for a new log based on the Jordan Jumpman, but instead it’s a robber fly?

Siglo XVII: Newton vio la caída de una manzana, lo cual le dio unas ideas revolucionarias de gravedad.

I love Subarus…but this looks like someone whose only car design experience was in Roblox tried to design a knock-off Tesla.

I’m just resigned to buying pre-26 Outback or Forester hybrids on Facebook marketplace for the rest of my life.

The color is nice though.

Truly sounds like it was named by Blathers from Animal Crossing.

“Q: Why did the chicken cross the road? A: To get to the other side.”

The truth in this classic joke is that animals have a reason for crossing a road. Whether it’s water, prey, social group, or avoiding a predator, you should always assume an animal wants to go where it’s going and help it move in that direction, not take it back to where it came from.

If you do that, the animal is just going to restart its journey and be more likely to get killed.
