    Giving farms water for practically free while private citizens have to buy it in bottles (from CocaCola or Nestle, who are also getting it for free) from the store because the water is either laden with e.coli (usually from the same farms not handling runoff of animal waste properly) or just…not there by the time it gets to them.

    Or PFAS. Can’t forget about that.

    3000lb pumpkins aren’t something to be proud of. They are trophies of gluttony.

    We burn down the Amazon to grow soy…not to feed people, but to feed cows. We are growing water intense crops like almonds basically in the fucking desert. And we are wasting tens of thousands of pounds of water to make a 3000lb pumpkin. Won’t get eaten. It will be on display until it rots. Meanwhile, I can’t wash my car in the summer…but I can pay the carwash! I can’t water my flowers, but the golf course can!

    What the actual fuck is wrong with people.

    A lot of that had to do with domestic livestock living in densely populated areas.

    Indigenous Americans didn’t have very many animals that lent themselves to domestication as easily as sheep and pigs and goats and chickens. Granted a lot of these animals were native to a bunch of different regions in Africa/Asia/Europe, but there was also commerce between those regions for a very long time.



  • I’d always kinda wondered what it’d be like to see RF. What would it look like? Pulses of light in different colors, or different strobe rates? Brighter at their source? Would it be blindingly “bright” everywhere we go, or would we be so desensitized of it that we’d barely notice unless we looked directly at an antenna?











  • Incels were a group of young men who were very easy to manipulate to further ingrain chauvinistic, pro-patriarchy norms. Objectifying women and treating sex like a birthright.

    This was a stepping stone to swing them conservative and support Trump.

    It’s pretty obvious now in retrospect. What ever happened with Cambridge Analytica, again?
