  • IMO there’s also a contingent of people who are demotivated to participate. Lack of participation hurts Biden more than trump.

    Despite the danger, Trump doesn’t feel like an imminent threat to most people. He’s not motivating enough alone to bring out Democratic voters. However you do have a bunch of shit demotivating those voters. Gaza, money, immigration. The only big motivator is abortion, and Biden kinda flubbed that.

    A Dem win will be on abortion alone at this point, unless something huge changes.




  • You would think so, right? But funnily enough, whenever we find a new type of hominid that existed around us (neanderthals, denisovans, homo florensiensis), we find out that humans interbred with them and they are a part of our modern human DNA.

    I bet humans learned to “other” things that look like humans so they could do things like avoid the sick and dead, dehuminize other tribes to kill them in war. All the very human things we do now.





  • Wow, you are really butthurt by being wrong about the Google AI…

    Oh my God, I see, you are conflating the fact that I confirmed that people will call you a transphobe for buying the Harry Potter game by calling me a transphobe. Then I think went back and forth with a terminally online twatter (was that you?) who really wanted me to engage in a debate I wasn’t having.

    I think, and correct me if I’m wrong, clearly this made much more of an impact on you than it did on me (I think this was like months ago). Yes, I don’t agree with performative boycotts that have no true impact beyond preaching to the choir, that includes all the fucking incel stellar blade shit. I think I also pointed out that by engaging in these performative boycotts, you just encourage other people you don’t agree with to also engage in performative boycotts.

    Again, so crazy you got so butthurt that you had to drag a discussion we must have a quarter ago that didn’t impact me at all.


  • Uuuuum ok, JK Rowling is a shitty person who does her best to be on Twitter 24/7 with the other animals. Bigot, competly enamored with her own creation, and totally believing everyone who’s ever said she’s a genius. Ego driven nightmare.

    What does that have do to with you being objectively wrong and kind of an asshole in this thread? You know it all, terminally online jackasses never fail to out yourselves with your goal post moving.

    Oh I get it… Your ego is a problem for you personally as well, right?





  • It’s arguable he crossed the Rubicon with his armies against Rome specifically to avoid the legal consequences of losing power. Cato was living his life to ensure Ceaser would eventually face the courts. Cato would kill himself after that was made unattainable by Caesar’s own coup.

    “Caesar was reported to be marching against the city with an army, then all eyes were turned upon Cato, both those of the common people and those of Pompey as well; they realised that he alone had from the outset foreseen, and first openly foretold, the designs of Caesar. 2 Cato therefore said: ‘Nay, men, if any of you had heeded what I was ever foretelling and advising, ye would now neither be fearing a single man nor putting your hopes in a single man.’”-Plutarch (Life of Cato)






  • That’s wild! The article mentions it a bit but based on your comment I did more research, black morels or morels in general can cause really bad gastro issues.

    Most articles and papers say is they are undercooked or just eating a ton of them like you did can cause what you felt on it’s own. You didn’t even have to eat a false morel! I had no idea, good to know!



  • You are dead on balls. If you ever get any additional experience hydroponically growing… Things… There’s a ton of micronutrients and minerals that a plant needs to fuel taste and smell.

    It’s mostly figured out and you can get a series of minerals and micronutrients chelated into a salt. They dissolve without large particulates in the water to not foul a water pump. Those are either suspended in solution or sold dry. You can even check how much available nutrition there is to a plant by checking the ppm and electrical conductivity of the water.

    Dead on about myco too, in soil or a soil mix, if you aren’t feeding water with properly mixed nutrients, you need both raw amendments (crushed up plants/shells/rocks/guano/insect frass)and myco/bacteria to break everything down and make them available to the plant.

    That’s for things you are growing for consumption, much less complicated if you just want something to be green, or flower with pretty colors.
