  • Majority believes Trump moving US in wrong direction, poll finds

    Jump

  • When you think about it that way it’s no surprise they worship the Orange Pedo as the Second Coming of Christ. You’ve been Living A Wicked Life and have Gone Down The Path Of Sin, and so you deserve to be smited by the divine! But the divine never answered his prayers; you and all those other icky upstart ‘sinful people’ kept having a nice job and everything that he felt should be taken from you.

    And then Trump comes along and grants his prayers with deportations and shootings and everything else he thinks you deserve. Is it any wonder he’s willing to suffer himself, as long as you ‘get what’s coming to you’?

  • That’s because you missed rhizomes, not roots. And if you keep cutting the remnants down after you get the main body of the plant out they’ll starve and die eventually, it just takes a few years.

    Speaking as someone who has worked with bamboo for a living for over a decade, an ounce of maintenance is definitely worth a pound of cure. Setting up a proper root-pruning system and cutting the young rhizomes twice a year before they have a chance to spread is much easier than chasing it down after the fact.

    Now, tropical timber clumping bamboo… those are tough to deal with once they’re mature. They’re like a boulder that grows lol.

  • It would probably need a fair bit of water, too, unless you’re in a more humid climate with summer rains. It is a grass after all.

    Unless you planted a tropical clumper, the concrete wouldn’t take damage. A runner would probably pass under it and show up on the other side eventually though. You can stop that by cutting the rhizomes back in summer and fall (think of it like edging a lawn), but it sounds like that space might be too narrow to set that sort of system up well.

  • Actually it spreads very predictably (in either circles or a collection of straight lines) and if you want to get rid of it, just cut it to the ground and stumpgrind out the rhizomes, which are the only part that can spread the plant (and for most species are found in the top 12 inches of soil). If someone tells you that you need to get out every tiny root, they’re bullshitting you.

  • Orange Discount Hitler’s billionaire bankrollers want it so they can build their end-of-the-world bunkers there. Not sure why they don’t want their New Zealand ones anymore.

    Unfortunately, since it’s the billionaires that want it, and Slimy Orange wants to do them favors so he can rub shoulders with them and feel important, he won’t just let it go, even if the GOP pressures him to. Expect him to make a serious push for it.

  • Neighborhood cat stops by sometimes. Trying to figure out who's cat she is. Attached a note to her collar today. 🤞

    Jump

  • My aunt’s cat was basically a neighborhood cat lol. I remember once we were taking a stroll around the neighborhood together and happened to look in one of the neighbor’s windows… and there he was, stretched out on the back of the couch, watching football with the neighbor.

    When she moved out everyone came by to say goodbye to her cat lol

  • Nature

    Jump

  • But also, to be technical about it, the holidays actually celebrating them are still a human invention.

  • Beyond fucked up (CW: sexualizing children)

    Jump

  • To quote Scrollone@feddit.it elsewhere in the conversations:

    It makes me think about the Italian movie from the '80s called "Maladolescenza", which is now considered child porn by many countries, thus illegal.

    I also saw a newspaper from the time in which they were interviewing people that came out of the movie theater, asking them what they thought of the movie. It was almost as disgusting as this article.

    So certainly a fair number of people did.

  • Beyond fucked up (CW: sexualizing children)

    Jump

  • Yeah, but it seems most of the people watching that movie took exactly the wrong message away from it, if that article is any indication.

  • I Come in Peace

  • Attorney on 9-year-old client in Dilley detention site: 'She wishes she was no longer alive'

    Jump

  • Tribalism. As resources diminish, we have an instinctive need to defend what we need to keep ourselves and our ‘tribe’ supplied. Driving out ‘others’ means more for ‘us’.

    It’s just that some people have a smaller mental group of ‘us’ than others. You see all people in America as ‘us’. They do not. (Unless it’s an ‘other’ they personally know; then they get included in their mental ‘us’ as ‘one of the good ones’.)

    Of course there’s also the fact that much of the scarcity is artificially imposed by the uber-rich to get people into this easily exploitable mindset but that’s a separate discussion.

  • China has planted so many trees around the Taklamakan Desert that it's turned this 'biological void' into a carbon sink

    Jump

  • Yes, but both tree species tend to live fast and die young, so they can be used to provide first-generation forest protection until the second-generation trees can grow up.

  • Sadly these days we need to state the blindly obvious.

  • ‘Tell him we will pray for him.’ ‘He needs your prayers.’ ‘Is he, then, an unhappy man?’ Poirot said, ‘So unhappy that he has forgotten what happiness means. So unhappy that he does not know he is unhappy.’ The nun said softly, ‘Ah, a rich man…’ Poirot said nothing—for he knew there was nothing to say…

  • 1/3? Man, those are rookie numbers. Something like 80% of my home state were members at one time.

    (Which makes sense, as back then we had actual laws on the books that made us a ‘whites only’ state.)

  • Elon Musk flails as his Epstein emails surface

    Jump

  • TBF his family are also super-rich white-supremacist pieces of shit, so he probably learned a bunch of this at home.

  • Leftist and liberal gun groups are seeing an influx of new members

    Jump

  • They are terrifying things to admit to yourself. Hold on to that feeling, but train anyways. Because those thoughts will keep you from becoming like those republicans who gleefully wave their guns around and talk about shooting all the people they don’t like. And the training means you can protect yourself and others.

    Guns are a tool that kills things, and so you never pick one up unless you intend to kill. But sometimes, regrettably, you have to.
