I’m right there with you. Took the words right out of my mouth.
If you’re starting from “I’ve never grown a thing”, try to find a secondhand Aerogarden or other small hydroponic (plants grow in water not soil) system that takes care of most of it. Grow some herbs, basil works excellently.
It’s a lifelong process…start with small, functional things like an herb garden. Make tons of mistakes and kill tons of plants, most people do. But eventually, you’ll have a green thumb and will understand the thrill of producing your own things instead of relying on capitalism for everything.
Highly highly recommend a bread machine, a good bread knife and a small scale, for the same reasons (weighing your bread ingredients will reduce the frustration of inconsistency in bread).
Growing your own food and cooking are two revolutionary acts in a hyper capitalist world.
My dude the other guy was being facetious…
More qualified for the White House than anyone working there today.
A highly agile, deadly accurate, inexhaustable enemy with more strength and less vulnerabilities?
Bruh whaaaaaaat
I’ll raise a Jarritos to that eh
No one is serious about climate change anymore in politics.
Anti-woke politics in America have given complacent people carte blanche to ignore the problem at best, actively fight it at worst.
The new great dying has already begun, but we’re just barely getting started.
Anyone who is smart enough to be part of the boycott isn’t dumb enough to stop it over this.
I like the way you think, but let’s not kid ourselves that the pool of people who “would drive a car as their main transportation” is anything close to the pool of people who would do so with an electric bike.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of a generous rebate on bikes. I just think if the goal is emissions reductions, an EV rebate is bound to be more effective, even factoring in the differences.
Care to elaborate?
Let this not be read as “we can’t even make a difference”, but rather “we obviously need to work harder.”
100% was on my way to say that it’s likely cannabis.
Cannabis is interesting in that it’s very harmful in youth, less so in adulthood. I suppose the same could be said about alcohol but a better social analogue for weed and teens is cigarettes.
Most kids who explore drinking might do it occasionally, on weekends, etc.
Lots of kids vaping weed are using it daily, if not all the time.
We are making it too convenient and discrete to consume nicotine and cannabis. I say this as a cannabis vaper myself. I would welcome with both arms a ban on vapes, not due to the content but the ease and invisibility of use.
100%
Had to explain this to family yesterday.
Told them I’m positive he will do the right thing, but not for the reasons we want him to.
That said, I’d rather him be a heartless capitalist than a willing traitor. So beat possible outcome I suppose
This definition of “high treason” seems close enough to me. And if it’s not close enough for you, seems like it’s well on its way, no?
“Waging war against Canada or doing any act preparatory to waging war against Canada.”
My point is we all need to be on board. Tax the rich so we have basic societal needs met, and then up the GST since “the poor” should not really exist within that system.
Totally idealist I know, but I think it sends the right message to both the rich and today’s poor.
That’s a fair point. I kind of glossed over the $100 fee part but you’re absolutely right.
I was trying to frame it in a way that said “I don’t feel bad for people who make the conscious choice to avoid the vaccine when they can access it, and then suffer consequences for that decision”.
I feel bad for the innocents, but whoever chooses to roll these dice and is unlucky, well maybe the gene pool is just better off.
It’s a great way to weed out ignorant and empathy-less people.
Fuck…the number of people who just eat that pathetically low IQ verb the noun thing up…
I really wish I could just verb them in the noun.
Oh perfect lol
Raised beds is a great idea. I dug a few oval patches out of my lawn and put stainless steel oval beds in, filled it with a good mix of soil and grew like 100 pounds of zucchini.
If you can handle inside plants, you can definitely do lots of hardy outdoor plants.
