No, let's not shift the blame away from the ad provider setting the enormously high ad rate.

You’re talking about over a hundred people being reckless which seems hard to believe.

I agree with your overall point, but I find this very easy to believe.

Just wanted to echo this as my experience too. It's unreal how many times my wife has to change her entire lesson plan for an entire grade because one parent wanted to complain about a non-issue while at the same time parents refuse to address real issues that disrupt not just their student but the learning experience of everyone else.

If the cause of the mosquito rise is climate change, then the answer is to address the cause of the issue.

I too have lived across the United States spending much of my formative years in the American South. Every single area has issues. You'll find more bigotry in areas of low education or high ignorance. Both of those aspects can come from a variety of sources (religion, low wealth, poor education, isolation, etc).

The thing I have never found useful though is hating a large, generalized group or area. You will always find a particular part of the country more acceptable to the way you want to live simply because the culture is aligned with the values that you hold. In my experience everyone is much more similar than they are different. For all the complaining you are doing about Southerner's being bigoted, you yourself are holding animosity toward this group of people.

If you understand the history of the region and look at the rampant corruption of the government in the area, you can come to understand the reason it is the way it is. I personally don't hold it against them as most of it is directly attributed to ignorance, lack of experience with other cultures, the cult-like religious stranglehold, and general media misinformation. The majority of people are compassionate and are willing to accept others once some understanding is established in regards to outside cultures/ideals. Of course there are extremists who will not relent and those people thrive in areas of ignorance.

"Fuck the South" contributes to the issues and further inhibits tolerance in an area that needs it the most.

Very poor planning. 5,000 kits is simply not enough especially when encouraging people to buy multiple to share with friends and family. This seems more suited for a Patreon exclusive event. He has over 7,000 supporters there giving him $20,000 USD every month.

Everything I have watched has been welcoming, educational, and entertaining. Seems like a well adjusted nerd who wants to share and learn everything he can about a topic he is passionate about. Literally got into coffee because of his videos.

Still using my OnePlus 7 Pro. It's a shame that they stopped putting an emphasis on innovation and quality. Doesn't really make me want to snag this either.

The only way that it'll become better is if the standard for the pug changes. The UK kennel club has updated it's standard to include a healthier head and muzzle shape. Unfortunately the American Kennel Club has not yet done so. The pugs that are presented at Westminster are sickening.

I also take beef with the awful roached back of the German Shepherd show standard.

A lot of people seem to think The Little Mermaid is doing quite well and if you're just reading the headlines from all the major reporting groups I could see why. If you look at the box office numbers, it is a different story. Many sources state the break-even point for it to be north of $500 million and after almost a month in theaters it still hasn't made the mark.

Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and their animation studio have produced a lot of content since 2020 with most of it losing money, barely breaking even, being critically panned, or having terrible viewership. Disney is in turmoil financially and it's clear that their current pool of talent isn't delivering what fans want to see. Elemental just released to the worst opening weekend for a Pixar movie ever. They need some changes to right the ship. Chopping some live actions from the line up may be something we see if they dry up as a major cash source as is indicated by The Little Mermaid.
