Granted anyone who either didn't vote but would have voted Dem, voted for trump because they were "on the fence" somehow, or chose to vote 3rd party but otherwise would've voted Dem contributed to this outcome.

That said, yeah the terminally online leftist vote is not what swung this election. I say that as a terminally online leftist who voted for killmala harmus anyway

I agree. A lot of people don't know where to start, though. And there is a lot of bad information out there.

Boomers: am i a joke to you?

And how it aided and abetted the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar by knowingly amplifying pro-genocidal hate speech to increase engagement on the platform: https://systemicjustice.org/article/facebook-and-genocide-how-facebook-contributed-to-genocide-in-myanmar-and-why-it-will-not-be-held-accountable/

This is my bathroom! It was made for me!

I'm sure whoever killed that guy was aware that the death penalty was a possibility. They probably made their peace with that possibility a while back.

Yep! Definitely stick with it. Also, tbh things sometimes just go wrong for no discernible reason. But the fact that you got some mushrooms is awesome!

Yeah it could be depleted. Three flushes is about what I expect from mine. Your yield sounds low though - 30g dry may be a disappointing haul depending on the size of your bag.

Looks like not enough FAE (fresh air exchange) to me (esp the fluffy myc on top & long stems. The beads of water are most likely due to high humidity + lack of FAE = condensation. The condensate on the myc surface will limit pinning. The liquid on the surface could also be mushroom metabolites - which could be a sign of many different things, including but not limited to high humidity w/o enough FAE.

I'd recommend getting a very fine spray bottle -"atomizers" I think they call them. Spray the walls of your fruiting bag and not the myc itself. Since it is a bag, and it sounds like it's mostly sealed, there is likely not much FAE, not enough evaporation, and a buildup of CO2.

I've never used bags, just PF tek and Uncle Bens bags - then spawning to bulk or spawning from pf tek cakes directly. The key is to have a lot of FAE and monitor the humidity. I now use Ikea Samla boxes for fruiting, and I basically just leave the lid cracked all the time. If water is beading on the sides still, your humidity is fine. If it isn't beading, then just close the lid for a bit. Probably similar for bags.

My father in law was just bragging about how the treasury earned over $100B in tariffs so far as though it's not just foreign companies importers passing that cost on to consumers.

It's literally just a $100B sales tax hike. So far.

Edit: yeah, the cost is paid by importers, not exporters. So it's literally a tax on US-based importers passed on to US consumers.

I can see it now. Grey pigtail braids cascade down the slumping, geriatric shoulders of Steven Bannon's porcine form, skirts swishing, while he attempts to seduce the aging pedophiles on the island. Time and time again he fails. The men look at him with disgust. "Oh no. They all think I'm ugly. Daddy Epstein will never make me a model now", he thinks to himself, tears welling up in his dead, rheumy eyes.

Most folks in the south are good, honest, hard-working people - but the levels of propaganda aimed at keeping them ignorant and blaming minorities for systemic issues are hard to overstate. That coupled with a crumbling education system, poverty, and voter suppression is what keeps the south voting against the best interests of the majority of people.

The average Southern voter is just trying to do the right thing with the information they have access to. Doesn't make them any less wrong, but it does make the situation more morally complex.

It always makes me sad when I see people in Left spaces saying things like "it serves them right" etc etc when disasters occur. Sure, the majority of voters may have voted for policies that caused these things, but they are ignorant and have been lied to their whole lives. Not to mention all the folks who have been disenfranchised by the system.

Edit: for those responding: most. Most people. Like 40% of people don't vote. And another 25+% vote Dem. Of the remaining 30-35% that decide elections for Republicans, most of those are extremely misled, either thinking Dems are to blame for Rep policies that harm them, that Dem policies will make it impossible for them to make a living, etc. etc. A subset of those 30-35% are just outright evil and either want to throw everyone under the bus for a few tax breaks or are just rascists/bigots. But, that is not most people. Note, I don't lime the Democrats, but their policies are significantly less harmful than Rep policies. If you actually talk to people in the South, you would understand that. Some are out-and-out ghouls, but most people are miseducated, poor, and have been told who to blame by the powers that be.

Over 50%. Voter turnout is low & is higher among Republican voters (who are on average more able to vote due to economic and voter suppression factors). Not to mention that they aren't the ones who'd be deported.

I would hope that Canada would accept refugees persecuted by an oppressive dictatorship the same as any other country. Not only do I hope that, I'm pretty sure they would.

I think it's a refutation of unregulated production & resource distribution in general.

In socialism, distribution would be handled by the state or locality, by the producers themselves, by a work coupon system, with money (a la market socialism), or theoretically in a sort of free-for-all all where people just request what they need. Only the last one is really implicated in a tragedy of the commons type scenario, with the money and work coupon systems potentially causing a smaller degree of that sort of an issue (as there would be less inequality, so less possibility of overproduction due to demand). Producers would, in that case, be encouraged to produce more to fill the increased demand, but there wouldn't be a profit motive for doing so, and so a consumer-side tragedy of the commons is less likely. Also, producers' access to resources would theoretically be more tightly regulated than in capitalism, but that isn't necessarily the case.

In capitalism, distribution is dictated by the money system obviously and due the massive inequality there is a big disparity among people's buying power - but more importantly companies consume the vast majority of resources and are encouraged to grow infinitely in a world of finite resources - creating demand where it doesn't naturally exist to squeeze more profit out of folks' savings, make them take on debt, or cause them to deprioritize other purchases.

In capitalism, people are not encouraged to consume infinitely more because it is not possible. You only have so many needs and so much income as an individual. The market invents new needs with advertising and such (you need makeup, you need the newest smartphone with ten cameras, you need glasses that let facebook spy on you), but consumers' buying power is limited. People can't really cause a market-wide tragedy of the commons, only companies can because they have the vast majority of the access to resources and the ability and motive (profit motive) to acquire them.

Tragedy of the commons, or some iteration of it, seems inevitable under capitalism, but is mitigated or eliminated under socialism

Yeah, Lyme Disease can potentially cause that. It's weird they're saying "meat allergy" and not lyme disease, but lyme is pretty bad and can cause lifelong complications (post-treatment lyme disease syndrome)

Edit: guess I'm wrong

It's a pretty common occurrence for ADHD and Autistic folks. I'm a little bit autistic (Aspergers) and come from a family where literally everyone but me has ADHD, but I was always generally NT passing due to a lot of anxiety and really high levels of masking. I still am NT passing, but when I was informally diagnosed (by psychologists not psychiatrists) and agreed/identified with the label, I stopped masking as much. I don't know how much other people noticed (they probably didn't), but it was a big difference for me and allowed me to be more aware of the reasons behind some things that I feel and do - and to be able to forgive myself more for not being "normal".

I don't mask as much now, but I'm able to tell people things like "I'm sorry if what I said came off as me being angry or rude, I have a hard time monitoring the tone of my voice and I didn't mean to come off that way". So I have a better level of self-awareness and can still help other people understand my intentions & can communicate better without flat-out outing myself as autistic to other people.

Also though do please try to brush and floss regularly. Tooth pain/cavities/decay are no joke - you only get one set of those bad boys, gums don't grow back, and you can't really imagine how much it sucks to get nerve pain whenever you eat or drink things until it happens to you - then it's too late. (No shame, only F E A R )
