Mayor Adams kicked off the two-day summit with a rousing speech in which he likened himself to a hero in the war against rats.

"I don't think there's been a mayor in history that says how much he hates rats," he said. "I dislike rats."

Exterminators weren't invited to the event, and neither were the city's rats. Kathleen Corradi, whom Adams appointed as the city's first "rat czar" last year, described the event as a space where rodent experts could share their philosophical treatises.

We are already losing the WAR ON RATS

Matt Frye, of New York State Integrated Pest Management, entered the rat symposium espousing a more diplomatic approach for dealing with Adams' public enemy No. 1.

"The 'war on rats' mentality may not be the best approach for our urban areas," he said.

Dr. Chelsea Himsworth, founder of the Vancouver Rat Project, compared the never-ending fight to the WAR ON DRUGS — and said health officials should focus on harm reduction instead of eliminating the vermin altogether.

"It can't be solved," Himsworth solemnly declared. "It can only be managed."

"I've handled 700 rats myself," said Byers, who fondly recalled driving around Vancouver in a "rat van," capturing rats, collecting their feces and urine, and even anesthetizing the rodents to pick fleas off their skin.

"They're symbols about a lack of resources in your community," she added. "Rats live in tight social groups, When you remove some, you change how they interact with each other. You're changing how you fight for their social hierarchy. And they do urinate on each other that whole time."

"They're just like us," Corradi, Rat Czar of NYC tells us as she bounds into a planter, pushes aside long stalks of milkweed, and points out the entrance to a burrow. "They want to live in a nice place, have food nearby, and not get into too much trouble if they can."

VICTORY! Rat Birth Control Trial Passes Unanimously in New York City Council

Instead of using glue traps, poison, snap traps, or other methods that maim and kill rats instead of preventing their presence, break the cycle of violence.

Literally Wannsee'd

For all the guy nomads, how do you carry your peepee pumps? The tubes are big and fairly fragile. Any tips for keeping it secure?

Woke up at 3 am, drove two hours and then walked three miles there and back to see this little neighbor say six more weeks of winter.

There was 0 care when Elon gave his three word reply to a tweet about redditors wanting to kill him and his zoomer concubines :soysnooseethetalkingtyping: and the sub just went down at a snap of the finger.

We all know it's because of them needing to janny it up so he can't find anything more, but does he even have any power to potentially bring the entire site down?

He always replies to longposts about shit nobody cares about so could it be possible to compile a large list of Reddit wrongs , threadify them for twitter , then send it straight to him and see where this goes?

The answer is no. Unless you want a divorce or to be miserable. There are small differences that are fine but you're talking about major values and that's a big no no.

You can disagree on the best NFL team (Go Birds 🦅) but for fundamental things, you must be on the same page or, as you mentioned, there will be lots of fights and resentment in the future.

You can disagree on stuff like sports teams, restaurants, vacation locations. As soon as your disagreements reach "Human rights", then you're in a major issue. You will be with someone who believes some people are destined and deserve eternal punishment for the love they show being different. Take that how you will

It seems there is a movement on a lot of the sports subreddits. Especially Canadian hockey subreddits to ban twitter links.

hockey https://old.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/1i6h6sm/can_we_ban_twitter_links_now/

They all seem to be getting massive support and upmarseys. Some subreddits like hockey are user proposed but others like the Maple Leafs sub are being hosted by the mods.

leafs https://old.reddit.com/r/leafs/comments/1i6kj05/subreddit_discussion_should_we_ban_twitter_links/

This extends beyond hockey though. Liverpool football club has the post locked down while the mods discuss. Same situation with Manchester United

RedDevils https://old.reddit.com/r/reddevils/comments/1i6idm3/proposal_to_ban_xcom_links/

I have nothing extra to add but here's Vancouver Canucks sub too just to show that it's a lot of subreddits.

Canucks https://old.reddit.com/r/canucks/comments/1i6kc8y/can_we_also_ban_xtwitter_links_from_this_sub/

Lots of discussion of Elon of course but a lot of people also just pointing out that X links are simply trash anyway and suck to use.

Some of these posts seem to be getting brigaded according to the mods at reddevils.
