Libs believe in the magical liberal state which actually does not utilize it's monopoly of violence. If libs were principled they would actually be anarchists, but instead I have no respect for them.

It would all be so much easier if we just had big human looking bots with some having like crazy programming that made you really good at piloting but also you need to be a "tough dood" to handle
I have some spinosad but it doesn't really work on aphids, gonna have to get some neem concentrate soon and just spray them off or something regularly for now. I just don't understand why they like the mint so much specifically, enough to get up to my high as hell balcony
Yeah I think I would need a ecosystem with natural pests to make diversion plants worth it and I absolutely don't.
I have no idea. Thigh is almost universally preferable/easy to work with but it's sold as the cheapest cut.
I feel blessed to have a grocery chain nearby with the most dirt cheap produce (and often sub-dollar/lb chicken leg quarters if I'm actually eating meat). That's been the biggest game changer for me, having basically catalogued all the cheap sellers of produce in my city and keeping track of what's on sale/in season.
I'm also a firm believer in having some sort of simple frozen meals on hand (healthy or not), because anything is better than the temptation to get food out, especially since a lot of that food isn't going to be healthy anyways.
Ok but counterpoint why do my incredibly thriving hanging pots of mints inevitably become a home for massive amounts of aphids, huh?
I'm honestly just annoyed they love my mint specifically, haven't even had an issue on them on tomatoes, or other herbs. Spraying them because this is generally just the stuff I grow on my balcony and I can't be arsed to try and introduce predators when they won't stick around. LEAVE MY MINT ALONE
I drove by the protests after grabbing some Thai food downtown to take home, was not really a big deal. I'm sure rush hour over there is a nightmare ATM but that's just LA life
I think if you're eating unprocessed foods you're basically doing well enough for yourself, especially if money is a concern.
I think cilantro is actually a cold season plant? Usually goes to flowering pretty quick in warm weather. Just fyi!
Good God why. I learned about these ages ago Jesus no please

I often think about little things/media that helped me eventually radicalize, this was one of them

I wanted to punch Algus so bad. Guy was just a superb classist prick.
Honestly wish they would've returned to doing stories that included the kind of nuance/class warfare that FF Tactics had but I don't think the people writing these games in the PS1 era continued to really have much influence (xenogears was a particularly fun one).
I just read someone claiming mao was an imperialist and I think it's doing real psychic damage

My life hack for never having to go outside (or: "How to grow wheatgrass on your desk")
(hexbear.net)
Step one: buy some wheatgrass seeds (also known as berries). You can find them at pet stores but health-focused grocers will probably sell them two.
Step two: get a pot with a drainage hole and some potting soil that drains well. If you want you can just grab some dirt from outside (as long as it's not very clay based) and use whatever pot you have on hand, but better drainage will help prevent over watering
Obviously you should have some sort of drip catch on the bottom on the pot if this grass is growing indoors
Step three: put the soil in the pot and don't pack it down at all. Lay a heavy amount of seed on the top layer, and then cover the seed with a paper towel. Use a dedicated water bottle with a mister and keep the paper towel lightly moist.
4: Cover your pot with a little towel or whatever you want. The idea is to keep the seeds in the dark while they germinate. Within a few days you should see the seeds sprouting, at which point you remove the paper towel and whatever you are using to block light and continue to mist, but now directly on the seeds. At this point you need to either leave the seeds somewhere with plenty of direct sunlight, or you need to buy a little USB growlight to keep them happy.
Do not even think of watering until these sprouts reach 5-6 inches of height, just mist them (more heavily over time if you need) to prevent over watering. If it's above 80f where you live you want them inside. 90f and above will kill them outright.
5: Within a week you should have some very aggressively growing wheatgrass. If you are using a growlight... Congratulations! You can now touch grass right at your desk. Take that you smarmy bastards. NO I WILL NOT LOG OUT, YES I AM TOUCHING GRASS.
6: After about two weeks of growth you may find the grass beginning to look less happy. This probably means that your soil doesn't have enough nutrients. Luckily there's this awesome fertilizer called PISS. That's right, just dilute your piss at a 10:1 ratio with water and you'll be giving all the nitrogen those bad boys need (feed them piss maybe once every two weeks, or dilute 20:1 and give it with every watering). Any fertilizer with a heavy nitrogen amount will do well, and generally anything sold for a lawn that's got most of its nutrition base in nitrogen will be great. Fish emulsion works well too, but will not smell good so yeah... Keep in mind.
There you go, now you can touch grass right at the comfort of your desk. Logging off is for smucks. Also, your indoor cat will thank you.
