This is not flirting. It is socially maladjusted behaviour. Just because it has worked before doesn't mean it is a good idea.

Pickup artists do all kinds of stupid shit that works that isn't socially acceptable either.

You're arguing about word choices and message. It's about as useful as "thoughts and prayers". Go lobby politicians for UBI, or volunteer for Habitat for Humanity or whatever your local equivalent is. Do something real. Have a nice day.

Everyone making a huge problem outta this. Wait until birds are gone if they're there (fall or winter is fine). Borrow a ladder (preferably fibreglass), and gently remove while wearing gloves. Doesn't look like any wires are damaged or at risk.

Someone else suggested a leaf blower. Might work. ;)

That whole album is amazing, but this song seems more relevant now.

Wow! That costs almost exactly as much as a Whopper? Could I trade one for one?

Good advice for Canadians too.

Items important to have to survive 72 hours in a crisis: food and water to a flashlight, power bank, radio, cash and medication.

 

Whatever progress of population there may be in the British Canadas, is only for their own early severance of their present colonial relation to the little island three thousand miles across the Atlantic; soon to be followed by Annexation, and destined to swell the still accumulating momentum of our progress.

We were so lucky for so long that they hadn't turned their attention back to us. Elbows up folks!
