Bisexuality usually refers to sexual preference, alongside homosexuality and heterosexuality. Shouldn’t this post be referring to the flower as hermaphroditic rather than bisexual?

I’ve heard this described as a velvet rut.

Personally, I sometimes ponder if this is a part of The Great Filter. We have evolved to survive under constant threats in harsh environments, so when those dangers and threats are removed we don’t know how to handle it. We start to perceive minor things as bigger problems. I wonder if this is part of what we need to learn to deal with before we can live peacefully with our neighbours and nature.

This is funny, but would be more accurate if it said “MAGA Christians” instead of “White Christians”.
I’m an atheist and most of the Christians I know are pretty accepting. It’s almost as if they respect the teachings of Jesus and aspire to be more like him, unlike all too many MAGA Christians.

It’s actually worse still. When I first heard it, the second B wasn’t “boys”. I’m Gen X and it was disgusting to hear even back then. Please don’t lump us in with the boomers. A lot changed in a few short years.

Exactly. FUD is what the opposition use to keep the revolution from happening, to prevent those who want to see change from believing it will work.
And as for accepting others, that’s another big hurdle to overcome. People need to put aside their differences to work towards a common goal, and for that there needs to be organised energetic leadership. Something else that the opposition tries to prevent.

According to this article, non-violent protests are even more effective than violent ones. Mobilise 3.5% of the population at once and you’re free. If any Americans try it, let me know how it goes.

Life insurance might not pay out for suicides. If he has family or anyone else mentioned in his policy he may not want to jeopardise that. No idea if that applies to OP’s neighbour, but it’s one potential reason.
