    Maybe this thread is a lesson in how downvotes have a purpose and why instances turning them off is silly puritanical nonsense that serves to aid bad content more than anything else it purports to achieve.

  • Nuclear energy is a conIt's just a cover for making their bombsAnd it sends people to an early graveSo we want the power of the wind and the waves

    Harness the windHarness the wavesWe don't need this filthy nuclear wasteSolar power - yet another alternativeThink of the boundless energy the sun has to giveThen there's hydro-electricity with turbines and damsAnd we can cut our consumption with conservation programmes

    Harness the windThe sun the wavesWe don't need this filthy nuclear wasteThe civil atomic energy programmes is nothing but an elaborate cover-up for the real use of nuclear power namely the production of fissile materials for nuclear weaponsWe call for an end to the nuclear power programmes and properly funded research into renewable sources of energy

  • Hell, even flat structures seem to trend towards an informal elite of psychopaths.

    The average person doesnt have the energy or desire to be constantly vigilant against overreach of power, but psychopaths do, to figure out weaknesses.

    The only effective combat against this that I've seen is nonnegotiable time limits on positions. You get your chance in the sun and then you need to find another role, otherwise tendrils get planted and power gets consolidated.

    The smaller the group or more complex the roles however, the harder that is. That's why education and skill sharing is so important, so that no one person becomes indispensable.

  • How to harvest, dry, and make tea with nettles:

    https://slrpnk.net/comment/16978019

    If you have arthritis or hayfever they've been shown to help with that. Science has confirmed the old wives tales traditional herbal remedy works for this one. Not as effectively as modern medicine of course but if it's all you can afford, or whatever, then something is better than nothing.

  • We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable-but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art.

  • You can be an anarchist and still understand the system we currently live in.

    Recognising a people are being genocided and should be given legitimacy on the world stage, to help protect themselves, to get aid that they couldn't unless they're a nation state, is more anarchist than always living in the theoretical, hoped for, future world.

    Eventually, yes, borders should get to fuck. But we don't live in that world yet. Right now Israel is killing Palestinians in droves.

    Might Is Right is less anarchist than borders.

    Being anti genocide is more anarchist than being anti borders.

  • Growing Stinging Nettle

    Jump

  • Yes!

    I started by purchasing nettle tea, then started harvesting from random wild patches, and have now started growing it (but haven't harvested any yet).

    From personal experience, I find nettle tea great for hayfever. In peak pollen season, mid-summer, when it's really bad, I still need medication but in spring and autumn when things are ramping up or dying down I just use nettle tea. So it works, but can't fully replace modern medicine.

    It's a rather plain flavour, not delicious but not nasty either. A plain enjoyable brew. I find a cup in the morning is usually enough, but sometimes a second one in the afternoon is needed.

    I wear gloves like this when harvesting and act with confidence. Stinging nettles sting if you brush them lightly but if you grasp them hard you crush the stingers and prevent yourself getting stung. So be confident, do not hesitate, grab them hard. I then just use scissor or secateurs to cut leaves (or cut a stem and pick the leaves off later).

    To prep it for tea:

    • Clean with water to remove any dirt or bugs
    • Set an oven on low (50*C on mine) - or use a dehydrator
    • Spread the leaves across a baking tray
    • Bake in the oven, I don't have a set time for this, just check regularly until leaves are dry, crispy, and crumbly. Ensure there is NO moisture left in the leaves. Again, NO MOISTURE! Moisture can cause mould when stored.
    • Remove from the oven, leave to cool
    • Crush either with your hands (the stings should be destroyed by now) or using a pestle and mortar
    • Store in a clean glass jar with an air tight lid

    To make tea:

    • Use either a tea strainer, tiny sieve, or small pieces of cheesecloth (to make reusable teabags)
    • Place about 1tbsp of crushed tea leaves (no need to measure, just grab with your fingers and put roughly that amount in)
    • Leave to steep for 5-15 mins
    • Drink, and enjoy!

    Pro-tip: I use both a tiny sieve and a cheesecloth to ensure no "bits" get through and settle at the bottom, but it's not necessary, just personal preference.

    Good luck, and I hope this helps settle any stingy eyes or runny noses!

    Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, consume nettle tea at your own risk, blah blah blah.

  • For a decade, Russia has submitted a text denouncing the 'glorification of Nazism'

    In the context of the war in Ukraine – and with Russia justifying its invasion, which began on 24 February, by the desire to "denazify" the country – many states that had previously abstained decided to vote against the resolution

    In its explanation of the vote, the European Union recalled that it had been advocating "for years that the fight against extremism and the condemnation of the despicable ideology of Nazism must not be misused and co-opted for politically motivated purposes that seek to excuse new violations and abuses of human rights."

    According to the press release published on the UN website, Ukraine called this text hypocritical believing that, contrary to its title, it was a pretext used by Russia to justify its brutal war against its country and the despicable crimes committed against humanity.

    The countries opposing the resolution emphasize at every turn that they do not in any way condone the Third Reich. "We reaffirm our strongest condemnation of all forms of Nazism, neo-Nazism and other practices fueling contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance," Ukraine insisted in 2019, while recalling that 8 million Ukrainians died in the Nazi offensive.

    Before the vote, Australia managed to get an amendment to the draft resolution adopted (63 votes in favor, 23 against and 65 abstentions) inserting a new paragraph in which the General Assembly "notes with alarm that the Russian Federation has sought to justify its territorial aggression against Ukraine on the purported basis of eliminating neo-Nazism, and underlines that the pretextual use of neo-Nazism to justify territorial aggression seriously undermines genuine attempts to combat neo-Nazism."

    Jump

  • In addition to dieting you can try replacing fork reps with barbell reps. This gives a source of dopamine and increases your resting metabolic rate, making the dieting a bit easier.

    Plus being stronger just makes day to day life easier.

    Good luck, you got this!
