It’s just because history only remebers the good songs and artists. The 70’s and 80’s were full of derivative crap too but most of it got forgotten. Theres also just more artists nowadays, so the repetitive shit is more prevalent

Yeah but i only see the British using Stone, americans just use pounds from what I’ve seen.

1 stone is 14lbs, the uk still like to use imperial for measuring weight and height

A metric ton is 40lbs more than a ‘long ton’

I’ve seen them say that things fall “because of density”.

Like we fall down because we are heavier than air.

Like they think they’ve avoided the problem but they haven’t.

Everyone who chose to purge the aliens are going to start a goddamn crusade

I have no expertise or evidence, but i just assumed this was from an old book (maybe 1920’s or earlier?).

I imagine ‘The gaming’ would refer to gambling.

That or maybe hunting game.

I often think ‘this is to good for me to maybe not see ever again’ but also yeah i rarely ever look at them or think of sharing them

At least youre not the type to try to stop something because you missed the window on benefitting from it

Watch them join the british commonwealth to help them cope with the decision

You could as easily say israel would stop bombing palestine if hamas stopped doing terrorist attacks but then were just going back 100 years of back and forth tbh.

Point is that if israel did what you said today, the violence towards them would not stop. And just picking one side and unilaterally ignoring everything bad the other side has done is literally just feeding into this shit

Whose army is going to disarm them? You have a lot of faith in the U.N here to not fuck this up even worse than it is now

Not one time on reddit did i consider or care about my karma

True, the issue of being bitten would not go away. Perhaps a gene that makes them not attracted to biting humans somehow, but that would be a lot harder to implement

It’s more like snapchat stories, they last for 24hrs usually

There is some promising research with gene drives, which are essentially genes that when passed on to offspring, overwrite the other copy of the gene from the other parent.

It may be possible to introduce non disease spreading mosquitoes with gene drives into the wild and within an extremely short time all mosquitoes in the population would be non disease carrying.

Of course, this is something that you may not be able to reverse once done, so it’s a pretty drastic step to take after very intense scrutiny.

Joke’s on you, i jumped ship a couple weeks ago.
