equally true.

oh. the stupid part is easy to understand. stupidity is usually pretty easy to understand, up until you get into some very modern innovations in the field.

devastation too. the ease of understanding it is kind of the point and why it hits so hard. read about that, fuck those assholes, murder their descendants all the way up to me, and I got bored of taking my shots at that bitch like a decade ago. it’s the ecology and actual science that WAS destroyed that I’m interested in. is much of that preserved/reconstructed in the text?

acknowledging complexity is not in itself pessimism. it often makes uncut pessimism very difficult.

definitely not. certainly not the same one.

The Horrors are pretty pedestrian to me at this point, but functional knowledge on the way various cultures, especially by region, nurtured and maintained the superabundance of the pre-columbian americas would be pretty fucking amazing to read. there’s a modern less geographically specific re-discovery of the concept ‘the philosophy of social ecology’ by the guy whose inter-human-political philosophy largely inspired the not-a-state in what was NE syria whose name escapes me at present.

wait, are you saying that there’s this class that are the beneficiaries of governments and laws, and it’s the same as the class that doesn’t suffer any limitations when they do stuff that the governments and laws don’t like?

and that we’re in this other class, that the laws and stuff exist to punish, but has to fund them and pay for them, or we get punished for that too?

that’s fucking crazy.

one of us does. im not sure which.

shadow libraries are great for making yourself backups, if you rely on books for anything! having a permenant digital copy of your fav plant books in with your usual stuff is really useful. any good books on local california species and ecologies you would recommend? I haven’t been on libgen for a while.

nothing he did was wrong.

yeah it’s pretty crazy. almost like government is for some things and not others, and knows it, like maybe laws were always just an excuse and tool for victim blaming. or something.

I think he’s an easy target, and whether you think he’s culpable or not, he’s very visible, and taking him down in every possible way is a good thing.

your honor, I would move to dismiss on grounds that my clients actions were based as fuck.

your life is so much more botanically interesting than mine.

that’s not true! you can moisten them with undiluted alcohol. you’re actually supposed to when you get a fingerprint or something on them to prevent rust. maybe don’t lie to make cybertrucks look worse. meanie.

if they could do it via software, why did only 4 go up?

fennel is great for spots you expect to flood. lots watery spots in CA have fennel, and it’s a unique regional anisette flavor nobody can ever put their finger on. great for salads and tomato sauces.

you could also try putting in a water break, or doing the owl clover just so your neighbor has nothing to water. fix the problem.

oh! you’re in central california! there’s some really cool stuff out there. there’s cool drought tolerant tall purple grasses.

or you could grow something more utilitarian; like vegetables or herbs or something. that’s also really nice. they don’t look as pretty, but they smell AMAZING. plus you can attract cats.

no they were annoyed they had to put their cigarettes down to serve these people, because they needed both hands.

shit food is something americans tend to insist on.

there are a LOT of cool native ground covers in most places. grass isn’t just wasteful and ecologically devastating; it’s ugly as hell.
