Every plant is poisonous. Humans are basically the only mammal that eats capsaicin, caffeine, menthol. Grapes are toxic for everything except a few things. Plants don’t have the ability to pull out a gun to defend itself and so it uses poison, or irritants like thorns. This isn’t limited to pants with animals. Plants are also toxic to other plants. The example that I deal with the most is black walnut. I tried growing plants and when I used the walnut leaves for mulch it would kill the plants I tried growing.

I’m a greasy overweight diesel tech. Stop saying friend zone. That is an easy way to never get with someone. Get a hobby that you like and learn to talk about it without being a snob.

No, Mr. Loom. I expect them to die.

You give me a mild insult, one that I’m used to, and even the “in group” I’m a part of on the Internet also will make similar jokes about themselves. Then I just repeated what you said to me but applied to you.

You’re mad at a mirror. And if you wanted me to believe you then you wouldn’t have done it a second time.

The need to remind people is a certain lack of care of the people needing reminded. Like reminding people “hey don’t drink and drive” I honestly don’t think that helps out much. I feel like cigarettes packaging outside US does actually help though.

For example: if someone with a fundamentalist church was harassing me, would I rather my boss protect me, or them say “it’s not a big deal”. How many times do you need reminding to not drink a drive. I’m sure they know to not do it, but at the root of it they don’t care. Reminding them won’t change anything.

Don’t you think cishet…gay… lesbian

Ayy you’re doing the thing :D I’m none of them, I’m also mostly just ribbing you. 3 types of Jewish people: Rabbi’s, Brooklyn mom’s, and John Stewart.

Now imagine if they also think your allegiance is to another nation.

Sure, maybe not another nation. But actively trying to destroy 'merica to create a “gay nation”. I 100% believe people act differently, but I believe that’s something they don’t believe in. Where your situation I can see people believing in that, which is worse.

Let me rephrase my first attempt. “Do you think treating the symptoms will help fix the root problems or at least help the pain? Are you wasting time/effort/mental bandwidth on something that ultimately won’t help? Is there a better way of dealing with this?” And those are honest questions. You do have a different situation than me.

I don’t disagree with you, and as a queer person believe me when I say I do understand how media coverage puts a target on your back.

The one part I do disagree with is the people need to be reminded. Like imagine walking up to David Duke and reminding him that Jewish people are his neighbors. While I want to watch that, I don’t think it would end well. How’s that one meme go? There are two races, white and political. Two genders, male and political. Two religions. Etc etc. I dislike the “need to remind” because the implications is that it’s fine to not be normalized. I know that’s probably not what you’re going for, but small things like that do matter. Like when someone threatens to kill me I can just add that to the pile, but when someone I know says they’re “normal” it just means I’m excluded, part of a permanent out group. That makes me leagues more upset.

What? Nazis have been doing this since their creation. This isn’t something that just started because Israel wants to do a “totally not genocide trust me bro”.

Honestly I’m glad they’re dumb enough to use spray paint on the side of the Holocaust museum…again. It’s easy enough to clean and they’re not destroying anything.

This happens so often I had to double check it was a new article.

As long as Nazis exist Jewish people will always be the target of their bigotry. So I guess I don’t understand where you are coming from.

They can also change things, like idle speed. You also need one for any form of electric vehicle.

I don’t think I’ve stopped in the middle of something without planning on coming back. If something is difficult I’m more likely to do better the next day.

But something that I know I would not have fun with is platinum any Yakuza game. And honestly, I’m glad this game taught me to not worry about not completing things I don’t care about.

With statements like these it feels like you’re not trying to change the situation. It feels like all you’re trying to do is tear down this person, who is pretty obvious having moral issues over this thing.

If your goal is to help homeless people you’re doing a shit job.

If you’re trying to induce apathy, no notes. You’re doing a bang up job.

I caught that :D not sars, not COVID. Mucus runs down your throat while you sleep. Not fun.

Plz no. There is no alldata for the vehicles I work on :(

Lol yeah, a lot of people don’t realize our military is 20 year olds leading 18 year olds.

I’d never sully my pocket prybar like that. I have a 24" adjustable wrench that is perfect for swinging.

I find this much more interesting than the big story in USA right now where a con artist is in legal trouble for being a con artist.

I’m sorry, Internet loses all inflection in speech.

It was mostly a joke for myself that I recognized the brand.

I do agree corporations ask too much for not enough.

I didn’t think Stihl needs programmers.

You? Lmao, nope. Gotta pay big bucks if you want new cars repaired. Pay a couple thousand upfront and then another couple thousand every year for new vehicle information. You can thank John Deere for that shift. I know, your car currently runs. For Americans, there is a certain point in buying a newer one is cheaper than repairing it. There will be a point where everyone is forced to have a shittier car because they are either all like that or you pay the big bucks. What are Americans going to do? Not buy cars, they don’t have the freedom to not have one.

It’s not one giant battery, but arrays of smaller batteries. At least that has been my experience with them. Battery goes bad and you replace that array. Not 20k but closer to 2k.

aS A meCHAnIC, all vehicles are doomed. You want green, advocate for trollies.

Heavier vehicles also eat up tires quicker and put more micro plastics into the environment.

I heard one of the byproducts of desalinization is hydrogen. If that’s what’s powering the cars, and we’re going to run out of drinking water that seems like a win win in my book.
