  • When you’re out, use DEET and cover yourself. Try to only apply it to your clothes. It’s toxic to humans. Are you out a lot? If so, I’d be worried about ticks and toxic plants as well.

    If you have control of the land around you, make sure there’s no stagnant water nearby. If you want to keep a pond, manage your mosquito population using local species if possible. In some places, you can also report stagnant bodies of water.

    If they’re inside, check your window screens. If you can’t afford that, use a mosquito net and check my first answers.




  • This is tangentially related:

    When I was younger, I was in an open relationship with someone. We were high-school sweethearts, and it worked for 6 years. Eventually, we adopted a third person into our relationship and became poly. That went well for a while. Sadly, hard drugs came into the equation, and my original partner was starting to do a lot of shady stuff behind my back. The relationship also started to get abusive. I confided in our new partner, which my old partner didn’t like. We had been together 6 years, and it was hard to break it off immediately. That was the weirdest period of relationship limbo I’ve ever been in my entire life.

    The straw that broke the camels back:

    I was with my current partner, and my ex was calling me non-stop, asking if I was with them. I kept lying and saying no. They called again, and I said, “Please stop calling.” It was then I realized I had answered my current partners phone this time, not mine. I got chewed out for a while by my ex. I’m happy to say that my partner and I have been together 7+ years now, and we’re engaged. Also, now we’re monogamous (because we want to). I still feel like an asshole to this day, though.

    Problem: Can a black cat be found in a dark room?

    Hypothesis: yes

    Variable: flashlight

    Control: no flashlight

    Findings: “v” group found the cat; the “c” group didn’t.

    Theory: You can find a cat in a dark room using a flashlight.

    Law: cats land feet first (indisputable)
