The cool part about humanity is we could do it again. We made the Amazon rainforest by abandoning millions of acres of farmland and letting it grow over into a rainforest. We didn't do it on purpose, but now that we understand what happened, we totally could. All it requires is multigenerational discipline. So it might as well be a dream lmao

Why does "violent drug addicts with severe mental illness" mean somehow they shouldn't be helped anyways?
If the rest of the left coast didn't follow CA I'd be amazed. Nevada is 50/50, and Idaho is definitely dumb enough to stay behind.
Awaken the shoggoth
A child that never would have suffered if Lincoln did what he needed to do.
Good. Fuckem. The south deserves to drown. Lincoln should've burned everything south of the line to ash.
They do eat to ticks, but they're resistant to Lyme disease, not rabies. It's not that opossum hunt ticks or anything, they're just real good at grooming, and as ticks are real good at sticking to furry critters, opossum naturally end up fighting both ticks numbers and Lyme disease incidents.
So, yeah, same same but different.

I shall remember your valiant efforts to survive the purge and curse your kind for losing every last 10mm socket.
Would you rather be complicit with fascism or fight for something better?
Also, you're overlooking how much CA funds the rest of the nation. Flyover states do not function without funding from states like CA and TX. Take the west coast from the rest of the US and all that's left struggles to qualify as third world lmfao
Thankfully CA can fund its.own military once we no longer need to send charity to all the red states with dirt for an economy. Actually, our police forces in the state routinely spend more money than entire foreign militaries. I'm sure with a couple trade deals and strategic defense pacts that California can easily become it's own country.
I remember an officer in the USCG accused of rape while I worked as a welder on base. Guy had to paint the fire lane on curbs for a month while his superiors quietly hushed up the incident so as to not disturb the guys advancement prospects (he was the kid of some higher rank admin).
I'm sure that taught him a lesson

I'm sorry to post again. I tried finding a "lastimages" lemmy but I couldn't.
Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am 16th of September 2024. I had him for 15 and a half beautiful years. We went for walks just about every day and he was the king of his block. Neighbors and friends come and go but my stinky man was always finding something to smell in the next bush. Even when the weather was against him, he could always sneak around and find something new stuck to grandma's shoes.
He loved nothing more than salmon, PINK salmon (none of that red or smoked nonsese), and so he ate pink salmon every day he could. His kibbles were never empty for long and the house just wasnt right if he didn't have at least 3 different glasses to drink from at any time. Though we bought him beds and blankets enough to supply a small army, he loved sleeping on news paper more than anything else. Something about inconveniencing the humans by weight of his sheer existence I'm sure.
We bothered him constantly his last two days, making him absolutely sick of us. We pet and loved him every moment of these last two days, and I held him sleeping on my chest for hours this morning. I don't think he could possibly have been more fed up with our emotional human nonsense if we'd tried. But I stayed with him every last second, and the last thing he could see when his eyes dilated was me.
I will never stop loving my boy.
Pretty sure I'm going to have to put my beautiful baby boy to rest on Monday. He's been getting very lethargic and lost his appetite. Spent 48 hours at the vet and he was treated for pancreatitis, kidney disease, and now we find heart failure. He's back home with all the meds he could need and he's comfortable.
He's my 17 year old very special boy. We've been extremely lucky with only 2 minor health issues that needed vet care and otherwise normal visits with clean bills of health. He's always been very strong (if very picky when it comes to eating) and he's been with me through the death of my mother and father.
Im honestly feeling pretty lost right now, but every time I look at him I can't help but feel it's time. He's got the best chance the vet can give him, but I still don't want to watch him suffer.
I really don't have much faith, but if you do, please pray for Bear.
Edit: Bear was laid to rest at 10:50am. It was extremely fast and he was so out of it he barely felt a thing. His suffering is over and so mine begins.

Alright, so before the whites showed up, there were massive civilizations living where the Amazon rainforest is today. I'm talking cities of hundreds of thousands of people numbering in the dozens. A massive population center. All those people needed food, and for the most part, they farmed. A lot of ice cream bean trees, for example. They also used controlled burning to build up soil so good we still can't replicate it perfectly today (check out terra prima). At or around the time the white devils first showed up, these population centers had already been largely abandoned due to social upheaval and/or disease. We're talking within a generation or three. By the time more white devils showed up with their book burnings and God bothering, those population centers had already become myth. Took the dumb whites another couple hundred years to figure out that the city of gold wasn't literally made of gold, but rather the massive cities surrounded by cops ready for harvest. We're juuuust now finding them using LIDAR to scan what is now rainforest floor.
