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.

LMAO, I love it when you show your ass like that in front of all these people!

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?

AWistfulNihilist ,

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.

AWistfulNihilist ,

You did all this just because you were so ego hurt over being smugly wrong in a meme thread!

LMFAO, but you were right, people didn't like my opinion, this was fun!

AWistfulNihilist ,

Did you cover the text with your thumb when the notification popped up, or are you just really good at ignoring things?

If it was me, I probably would have noticed the LMFAO just by reflex.

AWistfulNihilist ,

I mean, you're getting the message, clicking reply, and typing out your reply, I'm genuinely amazed at you ability to both interact with this text but but ignore it. It just seems like so much more work than blocking.

Bruh it can be so dangerous, I search for poisonous mimics of (mushroom). And honestly if a mushroom has too many poisonous mimics or toxic species of the same family, I just won't try to harvest it.

So far Oyster mushrooms are just about the safest to spot and harvest, I don't live in an area with chicken or hen of the woods, which is also pretty easy to identify.

Morels do have a few toxic cousins, so be careful.

AWistfulNihilist ,

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.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent-seeking

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_rent

I really want more people to engage with the idea that the utter worst thing a person can do in a economic sense is "rent-seek". The IDEA of turn key businesses, investment properties, money for nothing means you are taking from someone else.

They've attempted to expand this downward into welfare, but that's a ridiculous canard that doesn't examine just how much money is being siphoned from the working class by people who leverage capital against them.

Please, for the love of God, VOTE! (pawb.social)

I don't like Biden either, but anyone with half a brain knows there are two choices in the 2020 election. If we had a sane voting system, voting third party might be worth it, but as it stands, no one but you knows your favorite candidate exists and unless you want to become their campaign manager that will still be true in...

The DNC loves running against Trump. He's the most effective propoganda tool since communism. The fact that I've seen this stupid fucking meme on every possibly meme channel in like 4 to 8 hour increments is legit demented.

Bruh those groups of votes (if there was a positive vote and not a court battle) came at the end of large, vitriolic, sometimes violent movements. Suffrage, civil rights, gay Rights, these things weren't pleasantly discussed then voted on and passed. There were bricks thrown through windows and buildings burnt down.

And then many times they were based on a supreme Court decision that could be overturned, like Jim Crow and Roe v Wade.

Almost any time civil rights and representation has moved forward, it's been at the end of a sword. It gets removed the exact opposite way, the slow churn of the political machine being co-opted by bad players. Even when you see a military coup, it was at the end of a movement.

Voting won't change shit UNLESS you have fought to get what you want on the ballot or else politicians will ignore you to fundraise, that simple imo.

AWistfulNihilist ,

Ha, I think at least 70% of Internet arguments are caused by hangryness!

AWistfulNihilist ,

Fair

AWistfulNihilist ,

No, they fought, like violently demonstrated, took what was owed.

If you can lose your Rights cause you failed to vote in a Democrat once, you didn't actually have them to begin with.

By all means, vote the lesser of two evils, we're basically forced into it in America, but don't let voting fool you.

You have take what you need from the haves, just like the auto workers union is doing right now.

AWistfulNihilist ,

Damn, how do you pick up all the ass people drop in front of you with that?

AWistfulNihilist ,

Look up the Meiji Restoration in Japan. They went from a feudal, near-medieval society to an industrial society between 1870 and 1920, by the time they were done they are participating in both world wars.

You actually don't have to suspend your disbelief so hard here, it's the most believable part of the story of people who can bend elements with tai chi

The tagline in the U.S. was "Foster's, Australian for beer" for like 2 decades at least.

It had an Australian flag on the can.

It's funny cause yeah, John Wayne Gacy was a clown, and if you ask something or someone to describe him in one word, you might get clown with no other context.

When you see Gacy described in books, movies, videos, etc. they usually list both clown and serial killer in the title and show a picture of him as a clown.

How many words do I need to ask for before I get murderer added to Christopher Columbus, or genocide with Ghengis Khan. Like the opinion on Christopher Columbus only really changed starting in 2005ish, before that they were singing kids songs about that sociopath since the 40's. That's a lot of history of "explorer".

Like one word removes context no matter what, who would they be a yard stick used in any sense?

AWistfulNihilist ,

Shit, when I used to grow the devil's lettuce (till power got exorbitantly expensive) I was supplying my boss and half my coworkers at no charge.

In my experience, weed brings people together!
