    “If you meant to say something else”

    I did say something else. I don’t know what comment you think you read.

    “That’s not what you said originally” Yes it is.

    “We disagree with your original point/agree with your new point”

    It’s the same point, and you clearly agree with it so what are you trying to accomplish here?

    Lmao no sympathy for anyone who buys expensive shoes. You’re gonna cram your stinky feet in them then stomp around in the dirt. May as well buy designer toilet paper.

    Edit: alright then ya’ll keep buying $600 shitkickers because they have a picture of a rich guy on the side or Limited Edition blorange-colored laces.

    Buy decent shoes that last well and provide good support. Anything else is stupid.

    “a: any of an order (Hemiptera and especially its suborder Heteroptera) of insects (such as an assassin bug or chinch bug) that have sucking mouthparts, forewings thickened at the base, and incomplete metamorphosis and are often economic pests”

    This is the primary and most correct definition of bug.

    Yes, people use it wrong. That doesn’t change the definition of the word.

    I’m sorry but you’re simply incorrect.

    Bug is a technical term. Only insects of order Hemiptera, categorized by the ability to fly and the presence of piercing, sucking mouth parts, are considered true bugs.

    Lobsters are certainly not considered bugs.






  • “About a third of the problem” So, not the primary cause (or solution.)

    https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms2380

    “We estimate that free-ranging domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0 billion birds and 6.3–22.3 billion mammals annually. Un-owned cats, as opposed to owned pets, cause the majority of this mortality.”

    The article also states the following regarding more popular studies in the media involving pet cats: “The magnitude of mortality they cause in mainland areas remains speculative, with large-scale estimates based on non-systematic analyses and little consideration of scientific data”
