Ah, more than 1, my mistake. Thanks for the link.
Beyond that, I think it's 2 separate things, health and property concerns. Property damage I'll definitely give you, and the estimate could be much lower than actual damage, but I'm trying to focus on the health side as most of the time we see anything on here about rats it's framed in matters of health. And my point is that if you look into it the concern is a bit overblown.
Looking into lepto, 2021 shows around 13 [human] cases, 2020 had around 5. Thinking about that in reference to nyc pop of around 8.5 million, that's a 0.000153 and 0.000059 %. These numbers are so low they aren't even rounding errors. Although to be fair, the increase between 20/21 could be a matter of concern.

You're saying it can, while ignoring the fact that it doesnt. Otherwise we'd see case numbers representing such, which we dont - "In New York State, there have been five identified cases of hantavirus since 1993" with an additional 1 case, bringing total to 6 as per 2020.

The dog thing sucked, but if I recall that was just from 1 main dog run in williamsburg, hardly a health emergency. And i say this as a dog owner. Property damage is beyond my original statement; it's not a public health issue.

So, just to play devils advocate, what exactly is the problem with rats? Yes, i know they are around, that's a pain, but what health issue do they really cause?
Leptospirosis? Rarely found in nyc. Hantavirus? Also rarely found here. LCMV, Tularemia? Nope, nope. Salmonella? Okay, fine, semi-common, but not from the rats. I'm open to research saying otherwise, but I don't see rats as that huge of a health concern.
At any rate, beyond that, sounds like you have more an issue with people feeding cats in your area than anything else, and this whole rat thing is just your way of round-about bitching about them.

And to add on to this, just ask for an 8th of flower. Prices will vary slightly, but you should be paying like 30/40 up, depending on quality.

Who the hell is determining when to add milk based on minutes or temperature? Isn't it just a question of if you want milk? Drop an icecube in if you want it cooler.
This almost seems like something a robot pretending to be human would focus on.

Careful what you write in this thread.
Last time something like this came up in this sub I wrote a comment about how as a whole their community really doesn't care about anyone else; to be fair, it was harsher sounding that this.

That curiously, class size doesn't seem completely determined by population density.
Oh, and I suppose that the uninhabited islands of Jamaica Bay have a district.

So why did you assume, as i quoted above, I was only talking about women?
And ignorant and obnoxious? Fair, I feel much the same about you.

Yet I never said women, you assumed incorrectly it was a sexist statement.

I will, gf knows my reddit account, im not hiding anything.
The only one jumping in here and assuming i was being sexist was you. Never did I use the word women or any variety thereof, this is a general philosophical outlook on danger applicable to everyone.

As you seem to be misreading what I wrote and pretending I said something different,

As someone stabbed and shot? Walking away from an interaction like this without a trip to the hospital is a win.

Sucks, but you should be happy as this sounds pretty harmless. Bad things happening is and always has been a crap shoot, a matter of chance.
Look at all the countless times you've walked safely, how often you rolled that die and won. Instead of focusing on that you're focusing on the single time that die came up against you, choosing to live in that fear, and telling others to do the same.
To each their own, do whatever makes you happy and isn't hurting others, but I would never want to live in that illogical fear. It's only the illusion of safety anyway. Even barring actions from others, random chance can end your life at any moment no matter how much you avoid risk.
As the saying goes, the thing about life is none of us make it out alive
