If you make more than $33k you’re in the global 1% of incomes. How can someone in the 1% not live a lavish lifestyle, especially compared to the bottom 50%?

Wow, who knew white people were racist? /s

If this rant was titled Being White is Intrinsically Racist, it could be been better, but the author certainly doesn’t understand veganism, just like so many other anti-vegans, it’s tiring at this point.

I’ve harvested Amanitas before. It’s important to only pick the bright red ones as the orange ones and any other spotted amanita is likely toxic/deadly.

My memory is foggy about it but they need to be dehydrated for the psychoactive chemical to be activated. Cooking them will kill the chemicals.

The story is shamans would drink reindeer pee because the reindeer eat the mushrooms process the toxins out and pee out the psychoactive.

All that said, I never had any truly noticeable high from drinking tea made from the dehydrated mushrooms.

Such a fuckin wussy backing down cuz some states that didn’t vote for him think debt foregiveness is unfair.

Could it be the Supreme Court wouldn’t rule in his favor (likely) and set a precedent weakening presidential rights?

I used void for a bit. I enjoyed it but i wouldn’t recommend it if you don’t enjoy fixing dependancies and editing dot files.

Gosh I wanna go to a queens death party.

You vote because you think it makes a difference, I vote because it makes me feel good. We are not the same.

Absolutely if people own a large forest they can responsibility use that for their energy but that’s such a small percent of the population it doesn’t help anyone. For the 99% of us that live in urban areas or by protected forests or can’t afford land or any other scenario where harvesting wood isn’t accessible what do we do?

That individual with a 10 acre forest is still going to need to rely on gas engines to fell trees and transport the wood across the forest.

It’s not nearly as efficient either. My mom loves her wood stove but spends nearly twice as much on wood in the winter as her natural gas bill would be if she used her heater.

I don’t like that I’m defending industry either, but biomass isn’t the way.

You’re totally right in that wood has been sustainable, but that isn’t the case anymore with 8 billion people on the planet. The world population has basically quadrupled in 100 years. There aren’t enough trees anymore for everyone to get one.

The poorest people in the world are the poorest because they don’t have access to energy. They also can’t find food or earn income if they are too busy harvesting firewood. This article suggests that people are resorting to digging up tree roots because there is no wood left.

Maybe I am saying more industrial energy products is the solution. I’ve been reading too much Hacker News recently. The people contributing 10+ tons of carbon aren’t contributing that because they aren’t using biomass for energy, it’s because they refuse to not use their AC (I read a claim yesterday that the US uses more power for AC than the entire African continent uses energy combined) or give up meat, not drive their oversized vehicle three miles to work, fly on planes without thought, and expect a package from Amazon everyday.

Energy is tricky. Industry isn’t going to stop until we are all dead. Energy consumption isn’t going down either, but you propose burning more trees even though we are already losing our forests to animal grazing and forest fires? The only solution I can see are new industrial solutions that can shift the paradigm of energy generation. Terraform Industries is doing very cool stuff in this space.

Um don’t wear underwear?

Something I’ve been thinking about is people like this wouldn’t even vote for getting rid of the subsidies that make meat cheap, which theoretically would make a difference.

Still not sustainable. It takes decades to grow a tree, that over the course of its lifetime absorbs a ton of carbon from the air. When burned for energy this carbon releases back into the atmosphere where it will need more decades to be absorbed by new trees, meanwhile more trees are being burned for their energy.

Surely it can be done, but I think this is one area where I agree with new green energy and that trees should stay in the ground and not get burned. (Even better is burying the trees to sequester the carbon underground.)

I wonder is this could lead to a class action lawsuit against Meta? Probably not because the courts don’t care about mental health.

Wow what if LL has been an AI this whole time?

How does Taiwan deal with their trash? They have more human density than Japan and South Korea while throwing even less trash into the ocean than the United States!

I’m regards to fishing equipment, why aren’t there more proponents of farmed fish? Wild fish is going to be full of microplastics and contribute to overfishing and plastics in the ocean. Farmed fish can theoretically avoid these things much easier. Idk, I’m vegan.

I’m sorry for your loss. How old was she?

I didn’t know there was latex in mango skins!

Ya pleaches are delicious. I’m lucky I don’t have any allergies. Canned peaches are probably still gonna be bad too, huh?

I could be wrong but I think peaches are more of an allergen than stone fruit as a whole so you might be able to get away with other fruits. Also melons and berries are delicious too! (Did you know bananas are a berry?)

Check this study out. A guy went around and studied primitive sleeping postures.

Started my new job. Was unemployed for so long I’m not used to being on my feet for so long, but I guess it’s also cuz we don’t really get breaks in the restaurant industry (read Abolish Restaurants.) Ill surely acclimate to it soon tho, or maybe I’m just getting old. Ugh, I hope it’s not that.

Found out today that he called my coworker incompetent yesterday and made her cry, so that’s a huge red flag. So far I’m enjoying it tho.

Started a prescription for atomoxetine for my adhd today. It takes a while to start working but I’m excited to see how it goes. I like that it’s not a stimulant, but I hope it doesn’t make my anxiety worse from increasing my norepinephrine concentrations (it’s a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, so it increases the norepinephrine concentrations in the brain).

I remember seeing a childrens zine about how people that wear suits are real monsters. I wish I could remember what it was called. Maybe reach out to AK Press or a leftist bookshop with the question.

Goodbye Florida.

But really, what % of landmass will this end up covering?

The tech giants are going to stay. The white men that moved there prefer money over a clean conscience.
