Why should they relax when your tone isn’t?

You weren’t kidding!

California enforces many wildlife regulations. CESA, or the California Endangered Species Act, is designed to keep animal and plant life from extinction. The law covers any threatened “bird, mammal, fish, amphibian, reptile, or plant.”

Insects weren’t mentioned in the specific act’s wording. However, a separate California regulation legally defines fish as “a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.”
So, are bees actually fish? Yes, because all invertebrates are according to California law. The broad definition of fish allows activists to fight for insect survival.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has clarified that “It was not believed necessary to include the term invertebrate in the original legislation because ‘fish’ is defined in the Fish and Game Code to include ‘invertebrates’…”

Talk about by-the-book!

Think about how many painters, authors, artists, etc. have only received notoriety after their death and absolutely have contributed to culture.

I know this is fake but I am reminded of how many times I’ve heard how “trump lives rent free” in the minds of those bothered by him. I could say the same about how “liberals” seem to live rent free in their minds, so what is the point of that phrase really?

You would, and I would, but you are over estimating the general public who has proven time and time again they do not know what’s good for them. A lot of people would opt for something they don’t fully understand just because it’s “the latest thing”.

I would snarkily, rhetorically, ask if people are even taught how to diagram out a sentence structure anymore, but I already know the answer is ‘not really, no’, because the average adult American literacy level is that of a 6th grader.

I agree with your overall statement. Just wanted to point out that there are a lot more people than Americans out there.

Where did they do this??

“It can’t be helped”.

When you replied, what’d you think they meant by their comment, and why?

As is a fish taco.

Cities hate it when planners do this one simple trick…

Can someone explain how the demographic of people who loved to park their gas guzzlers to purposefully block tesla charging stations are now Musk fanboys all of a sudden?

“We’re on a very long, slow path to self-destruction,” he says. “Every day that this training is unavailable to the locals is one day closer to a disaster they can’t handle or won’t know how to handle.”

He got to this kernel of truth. He’s almost there! If only he could just make the connection and apply it to the big picture.

If you want to keep things crystal clear, choose flammable when you are referring to something that catches fire and burns easily, and use the relatively recent nonflammable when referring to something that doesn’t catch fire and burn easily. Inflammable is just likely to enflame confusion.

The people at Merriam are alright 👌

It’s always good to communicate on the road, the more information the better. I’m not sure why anyone would give you a hard time about this, unless they’re insecure (about what, I couldn’t analyze). Signals tell everyone around you what you’re about to do. Keep up the good work.

For some, it is doing the full job of affirmation.
