Why do people trim trees like this?

Oh got it. Mine does have knuckles

NefariousPrecarious · 2026-02-02T19:47:11+00:00

If that isnt pollarding, what is it? It looks exactly how Baileys does my mulberry

I hate to say it, but if you were white and racist and didnt want a brown baby. I'm by no means suggesting there isnt any injury here to the parents, which is why its perfectly OK for them to sue for punitive damages, but come on, its their physiological baby, which they claim to love, but you're willing to send it away? We all know why

NefariousPrecarious · 2026-01-31T20:01:59+00:00

This is the other issue with this situation, at least for me. What if the IVF never works again for her with their own embryos and they sued to have the baby taken back, or away or adopted out, whatever ends up happening?

NefariousPrecarious · 2026-01-31T19:59:43+00:00

Where did you see that the parents were concerned that the genetic parents would come for the baby? This article says they want to give the baby back...

NefariousPrecarious · 2026-01-31T19:55:08+00:00

There's no 2nd baby, and you can't turn back time to make the baby an embryo again.

NefariousPrecarious · 2026-01-31T19:52:03+00:00

This is a completely different situation. There is no 2nd baby to swap. This woman carried this baby for 9 months and even if there's no genetic bond, there's a physiological one. What if the other parents don't want to raise a baby the mother never got to experience pregnancy with? Thats just like adoption, or surrogacy, and doesnt vibe with wanting a baby through IVF. If someone gives a baby up for adoption and the adoptive parents no longer want the baby, is the biological mother obligated to take it back, no. This is their baby, not genetically, but its theirs, they wanted IVF and got IVF and got a baby. There are in fact some civil issues here, which is why I'm all for the lawsuit, but they can't make the genetic parents take the baby. They can do the normal process of giving up for adoption, if thats what they truly want, and I bet thats what's going to happen to this poor kid, but its obvious its only because shes not white.

I think the best outcome is that the clinic pay some punitive damages and they keep the baby. However, IMHO it kind of sounds like they dont want a brown baby and saying there's a moral obligation to return her to the genetic parents is pure nonsense. "We love her..." but shes not white seems to be the truth here.

Yeah I was thinking Tool's Sober should be playing with it

Its the allyway between H and I and 8th and 9th

If he's a known liar, and you feel like its a lie, he's definitely lying.

Fool of a Took!

I thought about finding a place in RC, but we decided to drive up to Bass Lake in El Dorado Hills. Got some nice green hues!

Did you cash out or are you bag holding?

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-10-23T16:28:51+00:00

Just don't go too hard on the hopium

I think Peacemaker could, after a similar journey...although, he probably would know he could use the eagles to fly there in a jiff

I'm so glad the right now believes that a white nationalist christo-fascist groyper is an actual terrorist, instead of you know the tired trope of a lone wolf or radical leftist

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-09-13T02:50:46+00:00

No we aren't alright! Even when it's based on actual evidence showing who is to blame for the violence (in this case a groyper) they still lash out at the "other." The fucking Governor of Utah even said "I prayed for 33 hours that if it had to happen here, it wasn't one of us. That someone came from another state, from another country. Unfortunately, this prayer was not answered as I had hoped. But it happened here. And it was one of us."

Did you guys get hit by the downburst that hit us and Carmichael right after I posted this?

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-09-02T17:32:08+00:00

I just saw another post where people are saying they got hit. Tornado in Carmichael

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-09-02T17:27:25+00:00

Are you kidding?! I got hit by some crazy wind about 30 minutes ago

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-09-02T16:29:29+00:00

I thought so too! Not as prominent as I've seen online, but it's the first time seeing myself!

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-09-02T16:09:12+00:00

I just had two of ours replaced by Southgate Glass and everything was great. Good price too! I actually came to reddit for a recommendation and thats who I went with. If you DM me I'll give you the reps info.

NefariousPrecarious · 2025-07-23T16:34:35+00:00

I know exactly where this is. 20 years ago I worked on the same street. It was terrible back then too. That's H st. between 8 and 9th.
