Did you just scoff at the idea of competition improving a market?

Everyone choosing a side between Palestine and Israel, but I'm going to take the mega unpopular stance of fuck both these people. Fuck the fundamentalist followers of Abraham, no matter what branch.

They would visit great violence on you in the name of their god if they had the chance. They are murderously self-righteous.

because conservatives believe everyone thinks like them and are just scared to admit it

just need to preserve this line because its so spot on

 

This opinion is based on reading people's thoughts on the internet and remembering what I was taught in my own time in school (where they essentially stumbled into teaching that humans were some kind of 'peak' of the evolutionary process)

I think people have waaaaayyyy too much faith in human intelligence and it's leading to the destruction of the world.

1- People keep thinking a scientist or a 'rich entrepreneur' is going to come up with some magic bullet to save the world, if we taught more about how other animals have tools, language, larger and older and more complex brain structures than us - People might realize it's similar to believing that dolphin will arise from the sea with some idea to stop climate change

2- we keep participating in these systems that have been created under the assumption that we are 'making progress'. I would argue that the minority of human invention represents real progress.

3- It leads to undervaluing the earth and taking it for granted. We worship ourselves as gods (literally). Almost everything you have wasn't invented by humans. It was the result of billions of years of selective design. Yet we teach as if things we harvest from nature were 'invented' by humans. In reality, we often have no way to produce or even of conceive of these things without a natural example.

Thanks for reading

 

Hey all, I’d like to grow some garlic at home in containers.

Problem is I live near Phoenix, Arizona USA so it’s quite hot outside most of the year.

Anyone have experience want to share some tips? I noticed some garlic bulbs starting to sprout in my fridge and thought I might be able to start some indoors from that.


I dont know how to crosspost, but I made the same post here

if others come looking for advice and find this post, might be answers there too

'fiscal conservative' = supports tax cuts for the rich because they believe in trickle-down theory, still, somehow

Listen I live in the USA, but if thats your best pushback to all those facts - should tell you what a dire state we are in. And prisons that aren't for profit still send out prisoners to for-profit industries to work, so it's kind of a moot point.

Africa & South America: Am I a joke to you?

I sort of feel that way about the things most consultants spit out during their 'big vision' moments. They seem like modern equivalent of seers paid to make the CEOS (kings) believe they can predict the future.

I've definitely tried to compost and failed. I think I tried to go too big and I think maybe I didn't account enough for the dry air in the sonoran desert. Whats your compost process like? Does it take much watering?

I do have a local worm farm that lets me pick up compost for super cheap, which is nice - but I'd still like to make better use of my kitchen scraps.

I thought I would respond with my own - I've been trying to design some low energy indoor gardens from recycled materials. I think that's permaculture?

Of course I make it sound much fancier than it is. I just keep old containers, fill them with water, and then stick old aerogarden seed planters in the top and grow them hydroponically. I've had some luck growing jalapeno peppers and just recently tried cherry tomatoes. I got a few tiny ones :)

I think I'd maybe like to scale up to a hydroponic tower type setup, I'm not sure. Looking for ideas.
