Shut your fucking face, uncle fucka!
You’re the one that fucked your uncle, uncle fucka!
You don’t eat or sleep or mow the lawn,
You just fuck your uncle all day long!
I should have said “in my opinion”. The final line just seems too much, maybe it works better as a comic strip? The “looks at daughter” seems necessary, but makes the punchline longer.
For anyone else who ever has this problem, there are easier ways than a paper clip and hammer.
I have used pencil lead (0.5mm) successfully. You get a short piece and push hard, it might hurt your thumb a bit but it works. Obviously most needles work but I have used things like safety pins from the back of a shirt pin. I’ve also used the tip of mechanical pencils in a pinch. And if you’re crafty you can do something (carefully) with a toothpick and a knife to shave the tip down. Dumbest thing I’ve ever used is a disposable flosser that had a toothpick on the end. I also used that to clean USB C ports. All of these also similarly work on small reset buttons on routers and such.
You’d have a good point except for the fact that Hamas governs the Gaza Strip. So, it’s like blaming the government of Ukraine for the actions of the Ukrainian government.
Also, don’t think I missed you making up anti-Russian pogroms in Ukraine, buddy
This and that article about the 16 year old that got arrested for cutting down a historic tree makes me wonder if there’s a way to uncut down a tree. Like using grafting and some kind of tree steroid
It’s a bit like reattaching a penis. All the tubes are very particular in what they were connected to, so even if you graft it back on you cant direct all of them to reconnect the right way
Well, I’ve got a brake bleeder kit from 1975 in my garage. That gets the air out pretty well, so we just need an extra tube, a wrench, and someone to squeeze the tree hard enough to mush the air out.
The closest thing to what you’re talking about is grafting, but that’s a specific thing that only works on certain species and I don’t think can “glue” two entire halves of a tree back together, maybe just a branch at the most if you’re very careful and lucky
It’s why if you plant a seed from a random apple from the supermarket, you’re very probably not going to get a tree that produces that apple. Most commerical fruit trees (including ones from your local garden centre) tend to have a bottom half that’s hardy and resistant, and then a top half which was “glued” on that actually provides the fruit you want. The bottom half controls the genetic material in the seed, but the top half controls what the fruit will look like.
On the other hand, you can totally glue a snapped cactus back together, provided it hasn’t been too long and the two halves aren’t too damaged.
Well the other bit about apple trees is that they exhibit extreme heterozygosity which means they need the genes of two trees to be combined to make viable seeds, and the genes of their offspring are chosen randomly.
So they’re like people, the kids might exhibit traits of both parents, but they’re not clones. Typically if you plant apple seeds, if they are fertile and sprout, the offspring will make apples that are different from both parents. In most cases, these apples aren’t desirable, as there are only a few dozen apple varieties on the market against untold millions of possibilities.
The bottom half controls the genetic material in the seed, but the top half controls what the fruit will look like.
Yeah, that part isn’t true. The top half has the sexual organs, and controls both the fruit and the genetic content of the seed. The seed of that tree will be a genetic descendent of the top half, not the bottom half.
The problem is, as the other commenter stated, that the offspring of the tree are not likely to share the specific combination of genetic code that makes the exact apple we are looking for. If you want that exact apple, you need a clone of the original tree, not a descendant of that tree.
Our neighbors cut down all the trees on their side of the property line, but its been about 2 years now and we’ve got our privacy back because all the stumps sprouted.
There is a thing called Coppicing or National Trust Link where the stump shoots off and grows new trunks from there. Its not exactly the same and some trees are better suited for it than others.
Sleep is sooo important you guys. And science says exercise is actually really good for you. Make sure to get lots of natural sunlight. Take time for you. Have you considered journaling?
Anyway here’s my website and a link to a book that I wrote (digital only). Thanks for the $8000 and have a blessed day!
“All my life I had been told money doesn’t buy happiness. Then I realized the people who were saying that were the ones with all the money. So, I figured they were trying to hide a good thing.” -Tony Curtis, Operation Petticoat
“Wake Me Up When September Ends” was written by frontman Billie Joe Armstrong about his father, who died from esophageal cancer when Armstrong was 10 years old. Armstrong at one point dubbed the song the most autobiographical he had written to that point, considering it “therapeutic” but also difficult to perform.
“Armstrong has expressed his displeasure with the memes and has joked about wanting to write a sequel song in response called ‘Shut the Fuck Up When October Comes’.”
Yeah imagine performing a song about how hard it is to remember the anniversary of the most heartbreaking death of a loved one you’ve experienced, and then everybody makes a joke about reminding you of it for the next several decades.
One can perform meme-ception but at a great risk. If you go too far into the meme-hole, you could disappear up there forever. At that point, your only hope of return is a new social media platform where retreading old memes becomes suddenly cool again, for a moment.
That means teachers would have to discipline, which means that the superintendent or school board would have to pay a fair salary and give fair tools, which means the state or city would have to up the budget, which means that we wouldn’t be able to repave the roads in the nice part of town next spring.
having to look at what the kid is doing and judge things on a case by case basis would eat into lesson time which is already stretched thin with class management as it is
If you look back through my comment history, I had a looong nostalgia trip with another Lemmy user about the good ol’ days.
I still miss playing RO, but I usually go back and play on a pserver once a year around December. I just crave killing Elder Willows for some Dead Branches so I can fight random monsters :)
It takes people to enact policies around the -isms and to make the -isms themselves
The OP said “…-ism is the real cancer upon society”. I was pointing out that people are the real cancer of society. It doesn’t matter what “-ism” you want to stand behind, there will always be issues because humanity is fundamentally broken.
I’d argue that humanity and an -ism aren’t that different in this context – arbitrary linguistic form aside, they both refer to abstract collectives.
But ultimately, I still don’t see the logic in separating humanity from the systems it created and uses. Fixing one fixes the other, in bilateral fashion.
Cool, but then you’re just a naive utopia dreamer. Capitalism is the best system we have right now, and it pays for a lot of social programs, can it be better sure but acting like communism is better is just flat out stupid.
Living in a tribe in the jungle is better than capitalism because it’s not literally destroying the world. If you’re willing to consider utopian capitalism, then a utopia based on ideas that can theoretically work should be even easier.
A big meteor strike would be worse for most life on earth than even the climate crisis, and that will happen, sooner or later. In order to prevent that, you need a pretty high tech level.
Yes and no. Yes by the time it would likely be detected on a collision course with Earth, at present, even the greatest minds can’t theorize a method to neutralize an asteroid => 5km in diameter that doesn’t cause an extinction event with the technology available to us right now.
However, if it were detected soon enough there may be more tenable options for preventing an impact event that are not futile. The problem is we don’t have nearly enough resources monitoring deep space for our inevitable destruction and with a lot of our space tech now being privatized in the US it will be more difficult because there’s no profit incentive to being prepared for our doom. At least now that NASA is active again there will be an obvious taxpayer incentive to literally preventing our own annihilation…lol
Citation needed. Also, curious how capitalist countries are always so eager to stomp down any attempt at trying a different system, almost as if the rich really don’t want you to even believe a different system is possible 🤔
and it pays for a lot of social programs
It doesn’t pay, it steals. Social programs under capitalism are possible only by exploiting the global south.
Cool, but then you’re just a naive utopia dreamer.
Not wanting to be robbed by bosses and landlords is utopia, now? And you talk about it as if it was some theory that was never tried. Libertarian socialism already exists.
can it be better sure but acting like communism is better is just flat out stupid.
Because…? Can you even define what you mean with ‘communism’, or is it just some nebulous threat you got programmed to be afraid of? Not all socialists are Stalinists, which is what you seem to be implying…
I’m gonna list all the good and progressive things about North Korea that America needs to emulate if it wants to stop being a Capitalist Demon Machine
