The next time your wife gets angry, drape a towel over her shoulders (like a cape) and say, "now you're super angry".
Maybe she'll laugh.
Maybe you'll die.
When you talk, you are only repeating what you already know.
But if you listen, you may learn something new.

Don’t be surprised if you start seeing more and more bears in Georgia[^]
Bears have been sighted in areas that they have not been seen before. (At least not since neighborhoods started going in.) Likely a result of much less cars on the road making it less scary for bears to wander around looking for food.
The unintended consequences.

I had heard that Maryland and Main are both experiencing similar happenings with dear and moose. I am sure it this way for all areas in the world and its local wildlife.
We humans are really parasites to this earth and a scourge to its original inhabitants, IMHO. Earth was just fine without us. (Many will argue that I am full of crap here, but I don't care. lol)

Just curious, I assume you are saying we are parasites because we are bad for local wildlife? (Probably an oversimplification).
So, are bear's parasites? Fish population would go up without them.
Most everything will take from nature.

We are bad for everything.
We kill flora and fauna and we take, take, take.
We take plants, animals, water, sand, dirt, rocks, minerals, metals and we spew pollution in its place.
And with nearly 8 billion people we do so at an alarming pace.
In fact, we're not only killing plants and animals, I am pretty certain we'll end up killing ourselves.
If not from global warming, we'll all die from pollution or maybe some nuclear war because we're all fighting over the last bits of resources.
Did you know we'll have an alarming sand shortage (used for building houses) within 30 years if we don't come up with an alternative?
It's not even a matter of if, but when.
Sure, a bear eats a fish, but it doesn't kill all fish until there are no more left, like we are currently doing.
Basically every other plant and animal keeps the ecosystem in balance, except us.
We destroy the ecosystem until nothing but we can live in it.
That's why we're parasites

It's not even a matter of if, but when. Could be. But I've been hearing the same doom and gloom stories all my life and none of them have actually happened. Zero.

I hope you're right.
We'll see in thirty years.
Maybe later.
Maybe not us, but your children or their children.
The fact is that our resources aren't endless, while people are.
I'm just sort of thankful I'll probably have died a natural dead before sh*t really hits the fan

I've heard that if all worms and insects are exterminated today, then all life will end on this earth in 2 or 3 years. Same with any other non-human species.
But, if humans were to get exterminated today from the surface of our earth, then all other life will actually FLOURISH.

Those buggers are really just here to bug us.
Probably our only real natural enemy.
They kill more than 14 times as many people a year than the number 2 deadliest animal, snakes.
Perhaps if mosquitoes disappeared, all life would end because we could flourish instead

And just how are humans NOT original inhabitants of this planet Earth?

answer depends on whether or not you believe in the creation story Genesis creation narrative - Wikipedia[^].
If you believe in evolution then you know without a doubt that animals were first, humans later. And the human evolution started as primates. Homo Sapiens (us, more or less) showing up in Europe around 70-100 thousand year's ago, originally migrating from Africa.
Our ancestors only hunted and gathered what they needed, not what they wanted. We, present day, can't even do that. As a species, we suck.

By that logic anything before the first replicating protein is not an original inhabitant.

I live about ten minutes walking from the forest. On my way up there, I quite frequently see moose in between the houses, passing through the gardens.
Old people tell that before the houses were built, there was a moose track there, a path where the moose used to walk. Today, they walk exactly the same path, crossing road where the road was built over that track, through the grvove between the houses, and through the gardens where the track used to run.
But those houses and gardens are like 40 years old! How many moose generations is that? I guess the calves learn where to go from their mothers, yet: for 40 years? They must jump over fences, cross the road twice, humans are around everywhere... One would think that they would consider making a new path. But something makes them insist that This Is THe Way.
This is not a corona phenomenon, so it is not an exact parallel. But if those bears have inherited the urge to walk exactly that path, for 40 years, but the human activity has been the drop making the cup run over, it could be similar to the moose in my area.
