I saw my first bedbug infestation in Boston...and rats carrying pizza slices in New York City. India actually has better airports than shitty, aging carpeted US airports. I know Air India is not a very good airline but American airlines and British Airways are awful in attitude and service. You know it. Airlines suck…

DE isn’t an instant killer. It slowly kills them by dehydration. It won’t do you any good on a flight.

Lol, bed bugs are more prevalent in the “developed world” so regardless of what airline you travel on, it’s probably your dirty ass bringing them on.

The funny thing was I was in rural Africa when the sh&t hit the fan at home in Canada and I had to explain to my hosts I may have brought parasites with me...

“Guys listen to me, that little packet of nondescript white powder is just regular old diatomaceous earth from the home & garden store! In case of bugs!”

You, clearly, have never suffered bedbugs. Death is warmly welcome to those who are infested with bedbugs.

My dog for fleas and it was hell, like I suffer from PTSD it was so bad. The breaking point was finding a flea in my panties, MY PANTIES. *Shudders and internally screams*

Oh dear. Bed bugs are among my top fears.

This is very true. Bedbugs and also sweater wool moths. 120 degrees for 15 minutes, 118 degrees for 20 minutes. But you have to check the corners, and at the base of the floor. So, you need a lot of remote sensors.

Couldn’t they just park the planes out on the hot runway and they would die? It’s only gotta hit like 120F in the cabin to kill them.

I had an infestation about five years ago. Really bad one, they were EVERYWHERE. Had to replace basically everything I owned.

Please don’t try to make this a cleanliness issue. Those little suckers can hide anywhere and the most clean environment can get infested. Tying them to cleaniness furthers a stigma attached to those who get infested.

Hell, Sinbad broke it down, what...25 years ago or something like that?

Yes it is. Sex workers don’t want to be raped either.

And there is also this

Because he wants what he wants and the word “no” isn’t on his radar. Men like that can’t fathom that a woman they wanted would reject them.

“use” a prostitute is a truly disgusting turn of phrase.

He wasn’t successful yet. He was just 22. And rape is about exerting power over another person. It is about feeling entitled to a woman’s body. It’s not about sex. It’s about making another person submit.

Discussing rape culture openly wasn’t a thing in 2015? It was a “newer understanding” at that time? Really?

I think it’s pretty well known that rape really isn’t about lack of access to sex, it’s about power and entitlement. And guys who do stuff like this have all sort of internal justifications about why what they’re doing isn’t really rape. His justification appears to be something along the lines of “she wanted to have…
