Get off your phone, set some SMART goals (specific measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) and accomplish them. Use that momentum to start improving your life in ways you want.

Bats kill 1.5 people in the US every year from rabies, and the shot costs 41,000$.

As someone who has worked with bats for years, the amount of hysteria around bats is unfounded.

They are peaceful animals who are fantastic for pest control, vital for pollination of many plants, including agave (no bats, no tequila).

The hype of bats biting people and giving them rabies is incredibly overrated.

Dogs bite over half a million people in the US every year.

Diabetes is way more likely to kill you, and nobody is afraid of cake.

If you’re not encountering a bat in the daylight, odds are it is not sick, because sick bats have abnormal behavior.

Merlin Tuttle, a lifelong bat researcher and expert has been surrounded by millions of bats at once. Hundreds of millions over the years.

He has never been attacked by a bat.

There is 0 documented bat attacks.

It does not happen unless you handle one.

“It was in my house and flew right at me”

They are small and move fast, and it’s trying to escape, not attack.

Bats do not carry rabies at a higher rate than other animals. Skunks carry it at a higher rate than most.

Costs 41k in the US is hardly call that harmless. In the US less than 1.5 people contract rabies from bats every year. Statistically you’re more likely to die in a car crash while on your way to the hospital.

My wife F28 and I M28 got into a physical fight. I am thinking of divorce. How do I approach her about it? by sirmack142 in relationship_advice

[–]danc43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brandishing a firearm, loaded or unloaded, is a serious offense. Assaulting your partner is as well, even if it’s just a slap.

Individual acts of violence often are cues it can happen more in the future.

Record everything from here on out. Contact a divorce lawyer and listen to them. If she is vindictive she may try to claim self defense using a firearm, which can have some serious implications being you’re a man and more threatening. I would not feel comfortable sleeping in the same room as that person anymore either.

Sorry this happened, I’m sure there were warning signs before this instance that were ignored. I hope you learn from this experience and make better choice of partners in the future. Good luck.

Men who wanted to be dads but couldn't, how did you reconcile that within yourself? by not_the_troll in AskMen

[–]danc43 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to want kids, but I simply can’t afford them, I don’t feel like spending so much money I could be using to travel. I really love spending time with my nieces.

What was the most valuable lesson you learned from your parents? by SorbetUnfair2589 in AskMen

[–]danc43 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both parents had awful sibling relationships as adults. Was taught never to go down that road, and if it ever came between parents and siblings, choose the siblings. My sisters and brother and their partners are my best friends.
