  • After a certain height your weeds aren’t providing any extra value to pollinators and are just inviting creatures that carry disease to hold up there. That’s why the city insists on cutting them. Just keep your weeds to a reasonable height, it still helps the pollinators and keeps rats from breeding incessantly. Untended to yards are shown to increase rats in the area. You don’t want the plague do you? Cuz that’s how you get the plague. (The last two sentences are hyperbole obviously.)

    Now I’m really disappointed because their Wikipedia article basically doesn’t even mention their nose. Just that there’s some markings on the nose and people used to wrongly believe they drank through their noses.

  • On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”

    This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.
