If it’s not one thing, it’s your mother

You’re underestimating how massive cheeks can get

They’re puddling

Does that mean we get to drive kickass Cadillacs?

Redistriboobtion is now my political affiliation.

That’s a crane fly. They have lots of nicknames and folk identities so it’s super common to call them something else. I’ve heard them called “mosquito hawks” (they don’t hunt mosquitoes) but male mosquitoes is a new one to me. You could add it to the Wikipedia page lol

So I’d consider myself a very amateur entomologist so am very open to being wrong here, but that’s not a thing to my knowledge; if anything, the males tend to be smaller. You might be seeing two different species, or are misidentifying another insect for a male mosquito.

I drank the maximum for my weight and exertion that would just barely not cause water intoxication. Now, let me get a glass

Crane flies are significantly larger than mosquitoes and don’t swarm. Swarms near a lake are very typical of midges who look superficially like mosquitoes.

No, the feathery antennae is a way to tell males and females apart, not species. Male mosquitoes have feathery antennae, and so do males of many other fly and even other insect species.

Jokes on you; this near the solstice the sky doesn’t get dark enough for me to see anything anyways

They called them “gross-ups” and I love them.

I say arithmetics

Sorry, I’m bumping up against Poe’s Law with this comment so I think I’m misunderstanding your point.

I don’t own a subway, it’s not my organisation. I was just using my imagination to put myself in the shoes of others to understand their decisions.

Now then: You’re literally stating that having homeless people in a space causes social harm, and that making a place less hospitable for the homeless, even if it improves that place for its main function, is also a societal bad. Let’s accept that for the sake of argument. Why are the homeless camping in the subway? Doesn’t that mean they’ve already passed down from further up this displacement chain and the subway is also a victim of the same thing?

The subway and the homeless are both just dealing with their situations in the best ways they can. Asking the subway to house the homeless in their corridors is about as helpful as just telling those homeless people to stop being homeless.

So all passengers in any vehicle can’t use their phones? That’ll be wildly unpopular.

No, I was being a bit facetious in my response to the comment that the solution is housing the homeless, not making things less hospitable. It’s of course not within the Subway’s powers to actually solve homelessness so giving them flack for picking the less worse option with their limited options instead of magically solving the root of the problem is silly.

Get mad at the people who are actually responsible for dealing with the root cause, not the ones needing to make tough choices dealing with the reality of it.

I agree with you almost completely. The issue is if the homeless prevents the space from being suitable for disabled people or other commuters, then this is the “less worse” option from the subway’s perspective. The subway is focused on creating a safe and clean commuter environment; it’s not within their power to solve homelessness so they have little choice but to make everything a bit worse for everyone to stop the problem they’re dealing with from making it even worse yet for everyone.

You think the subway should house the homeless?

You’ve never met someone who’s just plain dumb? I have bad news.
