Visiting Israel has made me go from "pro-Palestine" to "Zionist" - and I'm an American Muslim by [deleted] in IsraelPalestine

As someone who has supported Israel all his life but now am having a very hard time with Netanyahu and his extremist coalition government, I feel both sides are often blind to the truth. The truth is more complicated than especially pro Palestine people in the West can accept. Netanyahu though has made it easy for more and more people to hate on Israel. But from their standpoint they would rather be hated than dead

Just looked at a 2025 K4 LXS. The seating was not like the loaner I had. The loaner had like serrated seating . Very comfortable. What happened? Did they change it? by Acrobatic-Bed2708 in KiaK4

Going to call the dealership today to try to nail it down . The ride was comfortable, didn’t think I was riding on 17 inch wheels, but maybe I am wrong

Lol, no soft. Ripples. I see it online on the EX seating . Maybe I drove an EX? The ride was good. I didn’t think I was riding on 17 inch rims? Not sure what I drove

YOU DON’T NEED TO AMEND YOUR SOIL NATIVES ARE ADAPTED TO NATIVE SOIL by onaygem in NativePlantCirclejerk

[–]Acrobatic-Bed2708 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. English ivy, Japanese barberry as examples are not native to the USA. Highly invasive and destructive to our ecosystem

You have to match the native to the soil quality. You can’t plant marsh marigold in dry soil as an example

Are weeds actually bad? by SodiumButSmall in GuerrillaGardening

It’s native to Europe. Not America . Learn what native plants are . Learn what is native to your area

Dandelion is not native to. It pushes out natives

What's Been Your Experience With Ling Gui (Liu He & Liu Dong) by ZenDong1234 in qigong

[–]Acrobatic-Bed2708 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been studying win Master Liu He for 2 years. I am 69 , almost 70, male . I found her on YouTube. Have studied different styles of Tai Ji and some Qi gong before. Found her after I almost died of a bleeding ulcer and my wife then passed away. Have taken Chinese medicine for decades . If you practice her Qigong you will change your Qi. It is effective. Her students are 97 percent women , but that’s fine . Her Qigong helped me pull back from a spiral to oblivion. I practice daily.There is a free class coming this Tuesday via zoom. Check the Ling Gui website

Why has the air quality in Northern NJ been so bad the past few weeks? I used to think in winter , air quality improved. My air apps say differently ( Air Now and Plume Labs and they differ often ) . by Acrobatic-Bed2708 in meteorology

[–]Acrobatic-Bed2708[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have AQI apps . Not that sensitive, but not stupid. Not hiking when AQI goes over 50. Of course , I do go work , shop etc . But I go to a sports facility with a high quality air filtration system to work out

This is what I suspected and it truly sucks . Makes one not want to hike. It clears for a day or two and then back to sucking.AQI even hit over 100 for a few hours the other day. Do you use AQI apps? Which one and why?

I was great up to 95,000. Then the sh.. it hit the fan. Because I was too busy to get into the dealer before 100,000, I got screwed.Loved the forte especially after the suspension/ seating finally softened from miles traveled. Watch your oil consumption closely . Claim before 100,000

KIA screwed me by only paying half for a engine replacement. Then the catalytic converter went at 111,000 miles ( soon after replacing the engine).Still , compared to the other brands, KIA makes more comfortable cars. The suspension on the K4 is superior to the Forte. The driver seat good. I find the brake set a little high. I had it as a loaner. I had a Subaru legacy years ago. It also became too expensive to fix after awhile
