This ape gets it.

I’m trans and I don’t think conservatives just hate other humans. I think they’re scared and they don’t want “bad things” to happen to their communities and their children. They know things are fucked up right now, and they are right about that. It’s something we can all agree on.

The problem is that they’re being offered a bunch of things to point the finger at as a cause of their misery, like LGBTQ+ people/rights, immigrants, diversity, etc. On the other hand, those of us who are left-leaning are being offered the same type of thing, except in our case, it’s them. The media is doing such a good job of othering both sides that we’ve lost sight of their humanity and we don’t even listen to a single thing they have to say. Nobody is there to agree with them when they’re right and nobody is there to actually have a conversation when they’re wrong. Both sides just write off everything the other side has to say. It has to stop. If you think that these people only care about guns, taking away abortion right and getting rid of LGBTQ+ people, you’ve been played.

Politicians won’t stop using these things as political tools until we stop giving them reasons to. It is working so well for them.

Reality is that both sides are being manipulated. People on the left and people on the right are the same people and in these times we need to actively make an effort to remember that. Saying that conservatives just need to die out is so ugly and dangerous.

We need to start talking to each other again. We need to stop the constant consumption of outrage. I know it’s not an easy thing to do but you can do it, it can be done. It is an addiction that is destroying us all and it doesn’t matter if other people still consume, these things start with “You”.

Tie Your Mother Down

Bahah yeah I thought so! It was SO amazing. Probably the most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life so far.

Hey I know that bridge! 😜

Or you could just find yourself freaking out at 7am with your arm up your ass all the way to the elbow trying to grab that cute heart shaped buttplug that was way too small and somehow just kept crawling further and further up your ass while praying that you won’t have to go to the ER. That’s cool too.

I think “Only half the time.” is actually the correct answer here.

Kinda?

I feel it’s the kind of mistake that people make for whom learning the language was a “necessary evil” / chore in order to succeed professionally

Ahhh yeah that would make sense, I do love languages and have always found them fun. I also grew up in a bilingual area. My little village is French but most surrounding towns/cities are English speaking and was immersed in it from a very young age. I actually learned English mostly to argue with the kid next door who only spoke English (and from a whole lot of American English TV.)

Currently I don’t

Edit: Is that a thing though? I really don’t think I do.

Edit 2: Took a second to think about it and yeah I guess because actuellement translates to currently it could be mixed up but I don’t think I have or have I ever heard anyone mix those two up. I also speak English since I’m like 5 years old though so maybe I would have at some point but I can’t say I do now.

Hah, funny. As a non-native speaker I never mix them up as I am very conscious of it when I’m writing. I’m also often translating from French in my mind to English on “paper” which helps differentiate all of them since they don’t sound the same in French.

On the internet, everybody is 14.

Also, chill. This is Lemmy Shitpost.

Damn, I’ve always loved that video. It is SO good. Really brings back memories of my adolescence. Doesn’t help that I used to own an old Pontiac Acadian just like that.

Hahah cheap is good in my book. I’m a junkie for jank.

That’s really cool though, thank you NASA researchers. Hey at least you’re not growing space weed, yet! Your plants seem really healthy so your cheap setup seems to be doing it’s job well enough!

Ohhhh cool! Aeroponics is something I’m not really familiar with yet. Definitely interesting stuff though. I’m sure there will be a day I will fall into that rabbit hole hahah.

Fair, still a nice setup anyways, and I’ve seen plenty of printer setups inside of tents for temp consistency already haha

Hahah yeah that was the idea. It’s basically just a big printer enclosure for now. I also like that I don’t need much to light up the room enough for my camera feed to be usable 😂

Ohhh hahah no, all Cannabis plants are babies to me 😂

Awww, well those are some adorable babies too! Yeah 12/12 is probably not the best for them but I doubt it’ll be an issue. You can always bury the stem of a leggy seedling, as long as they’re strong enough and you make sure you don’t let them rot.

Thanks! I didn’t want to get rid of the setup. I don’t smoke much anymore, or at least I try not to but I love growing so much. Feels like Xmas every morning checking up on them, plus I just love the smell.

I never got the time to get into hydro. I bought everything I needed to make a setup, still got the pump laying around somewhere brand new in box. One day maybe? 💀

Edit: Nah, I turned off the intake and exhaust, although I have thought about building a new carbon filter and turning it back on if I ever want to print some stinky materials.

Huh, these are unlike any tomato seedlings I’ve ever started but what do I know? I only grow plastic plants now 😂

Aw hi babiiies! 😍

Healthy looking girls!

Oh damn I had completely forgotten about that one!

That’s what I thought originally but then you look at those other logos and you start seeing some other ones that don’t look as shopped lol. Rocket League? Grindr? Bandcamp? Damn even Daft Punk… 😭
