YMMV but i still see lots right around dusk at the edges of wetland areas. Not denying they are threatened but there are still some places they are able to live and those places should be protected. Wetlands do a lot more for us ecologically and hydrologically speaking than just fireflies anyway and are one of the most important ecosystems to be protected.

FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do I get rid of my verbal humilation and degradation kink23·5 days agoI’d bet there are plenty of girls out there who can be a great loving partner and also make you feel like a loser when you want it. Instead of hiding your kink and trying to push it down, find a partner who likes you and your kink.

Dragonflys, bats and many other animals rely on that as a food source, then other animals rely on the animals eating mosquitoes. Mosquitoes also spread disease which can act as a natural population control for some species. Everything is interconnected in ecosystems. The animals present, the temperature and chemistry of the water, the depth and nutrition of the soil, the plants that grow there. A minor change can ripple throughout the ecosystem and cause major consequences long term. Some of those changes occur naturally, but for the most part humans change ecosystems faster than they can naturally react.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English1·1 month agoIn my area we often have oversized speed limit signs and maybe even a flashing light to indicate such a drastic drop in speed, did this area have similar signage?
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English1·1 month agoAlso in Ontario. My local police force has unmarked cars, trucks and SUVs. I regularly see unmarked opp when traveling outside of town.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English1·1 month agoThis is part of why they run undercover cars. Now you think every black charger could be a cop and thus you try to drive following the rules nearby those models, even when it isn’t a cop.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English5·1 month agoPeople feel unsafe doing double the limit on a highway. The unsafe feeling is thrilling for some.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English3·1 month agoSo is your solution to someone following too closely to just speed up?
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English7·1 month agoDrivers need to be ready to stop or swerve for any reason at any time. A dog crossing a road, an accident in front of them, an emergency vehicle passing. If you slam into the car in front of you because they slowed down to the speed limit, that is your fault.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English3·1 month agoY’all are bitching cops shouldn’t be allowed to enforce speed limits, we have a modern solution that is often deployed in areas with high pedestrian injury rates and you’re calling it some mass surveillance state.
The internet is doing far worse things to your privacy than a speed camera. Dont trust them? Your city probably has a map of them on their website. Dont drive or walk that specific spot.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English3·1 month agoThis is the biggest point. There are countless bodycam footage available of some crazy shit going down at traffic stops. Someone with an active warrant is going to resist being IDd. Someone high on cocaine in a stolen car may not act rationally.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English5·1 month agoYea the whole “gotcha” of exceeding a posted speed limit in area where a sign often warns you a camera is checking your speed in a position the municipality will often publicly announce its presence. Real gotcha moment.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English13·1 month agoWe still need both. Even the safest design of a road could still let someone drive recklessly and dangerously.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English5·1 month agoPublic safety is the goal. Some people don’t learn to follow speed limits and do full stops at reds or other road rules until they have had a consequence from it. I’d rather they learn that lesson through a speeding ticket than accidental manslaughter of a pedestrian.
Unmarked cruisers gives a cop a more unbiased view of the reality of traffic flow/conditions than a marked cruiser cause most drivers will notice a marked cruiser and drive accordingly. Ultimately road safety is many many factors, but i believe enforcement of the rules is one of them.
Just look at the pushback against automated speed cameras, even the ones in school zones often get vanadalized. Many drivers only give a shit about a speed limit because of fines and their insurance costs.
FireRetardant@lemmy.worldto THE POLICE PROBLEM@lemmy.world•Who guards the guards?English13·1 month agoDrivers will slow down an behave when they see a marked cruiser. For traffic enforcement i don’t mind undercover cruisers.

I’m not 100% sure but the fish kinda looks like a lingcod, also known as a burbot.
