I'm increasingly convinced that this is yet another in a series of moves overtly intended to destroy the federal government's legitimacy.

This has been the Republican game since Reagan

Many paper wasps have very painful stings. Red hornets and yellow jackets are just two species of paper wasps

They are! Those are all paper wasps, which feed on nectar in addition to other insects, like caterpillars.

Nope, there are thousands of native wasp species in North America. Most of them are small, have no stinger, and are vegetarian. You might glance at them and think they're flies. There are tens of thousands of plant species that rely on them for pollination.

Honey bees, on the other hand, are actually invasive in North America after they were imported from Europe.

It should be noted that most wasps are vital pollinators

The general public treats pretty much all mental health diagnoses this way. Depressed, anxious, schizophrenic, bipolar, OCD, PTSD, and more are all descriptors people commonly use to describe their emotions or personality traits in a way that's completely disconnected from their clinical definitions and manifestations. Whether that's disrespectful to people who have clinically diagnosable conditions? I don't know if I'd go that far. The reality is most people just have absolutely no clue what actual bipolar disorder or actual OCD look like, and they often lack the language to otherwise effectively describe their internal experiences.

I hope you have a therapist to bounce this stuff off. Your relationship with food does not seem ok
