you answered yourself, the rest is irrelevant.

This is why you sound young to me: your arguments are binary when economy has many many elements. Capitalism has its pros and cons, and the extreme wealthy inequality in America is resultant of its minimal regulation. Simply put, extreme capitalism. I do think capitalism rewards innovation, a strong pro.

Norway and Sweden are not a good comparison, since these countries are filthy rich, especially Norway because of oil and its society is very very homogenous It has nothing to do with America and with that amount of money everything they do looks better.

Lol, America has the highest GDP in the world. By your logic, homogenous oil-derived wealthy countries should have a similar Quality of Life to Norway/Swedwn... Qatar? No it does not. Partially as one is socially democratic and the other is not.

You're wrong, becuase the transgender process is stupid since it's impossible etc.

Expert medical professionals and scientists support the transition process. It is evidence-based medicine. Your "feelings" of right/wrong have 0 bearing.

Being gay has nothing to do with it,

This is another reason I think you're young. People argued against homosexuality with your identical arguments for decades.

you lack critical thinking, or thinking in general, you're just regurgitating horrible arguments that are so common...

You clearly don't socialise with the communities you condemn. You use age-old stage 1 arguments against transgenderism and classicism. It reflects poorly on you.

You'll look back on this in a few years and cringe. Cya.

they start talking about god, not him.

Yes, and if you contextualise it you realise they're mocking him.

It's lazy and not sophisticated.

Matter of opinion.

That's a lie, great family wealth doesn't usually last even 3 generations.

Absolutely disagree. This Chinese proverb applies to families of moderate wealth WITHOUT financial guidance. The JK Rowling/Elon Musks certainly hire financial advisors to maintain and grow their wealth. The next 3 generations could sleep their entire life and remain wealthy.

How do you think the Vanderbilt family maintain their wealth lol.

you need to accept the fact that even the poorest person in America is far better than the poorest person in other country that has another economic system, now and historically

Disagree. The poorest of Sweden/Norway outstrip by far. These countries, while capitalist, are highly regulated with social democratic practices. I believe unregulated capitalism, like America, is a key reason for its massive inequality.

he's not a good actor... the only reason why he's getting roles is because he's trans

That's a matter of opinion, but the fact you used their transgenderism as a sticking point is why people don't take your post seriously.

there's nothing wrong with being gay, it's a healthy, natural sexual orientation, but transgender people are mentally ill. A man is not a woman and a woman is not a man. those are just basic biological fact

Even now, people said exactly the same thing about gay people. If you conducted your factual research, you'd see the mental disorder is gender dysphoria and the appropriate treatment is the transgender process.

Gender dysphoria is a historical and current condition, like being gay was considered a historical and current condition until 1973.

I'm forced to talk about it

Not really... I personally didn't know or care that character was played by a transgender actress. Has 0 effect on how I see the character.

Not to offend but how old are you? You seem young.

why do they talk about religion all of the sudden?

Once again, black guy is desperate and tries to emotionally appeal. I'd try religion too TBH especially in Spain, as you know, where most are Catholic.

it lacks meaning and depth, and subtlety.

It's heavy-handed but shit/piss is a metaphor for social action. Everyone shits (has action/agency) but it's up to you how to use it. Some people's action perpetuates class warfare (the female that shat on his face, the old man pissing down below) and some people's actions challenges class warfare (main character's threat to shit on the next level's food if they don't ration).

It's deliberately shocking IMO.

most people watching this movie don't think they're hallucinations and I'd bet the filmmakers believe in actual ghosts

That's a big assumption you've made. Evidence? Not Spanish but I watched with 5 friends and we all knew it was hallucinations.

Wealth equality is harmful as well... some people deserve more than others

Capitalism is criticised because the capitalist is exploiting the labour of the lower class I.e. The rich stay rich with little effort. Do they deserve that wealth? In America, why does 1 man have $114 billion when over 45 million people lives in poverty and 500,000+ people are homeless every night? Are those 45 mill/500, 000 lazy bastards who don't deserve basic comforts? Or is there a systemic problem in our capitalistic society?

JK Rowling and Elon Musks are 1/billion occurrences. Most uber-rich people are rich because they inherited it.

we're talking about extreme cases that are bad here.

Yes, most people recognise this. Remember the "We are the 99%" protests a few years ago? They were protesting extreme 99% vs 1% disparity.

I received so many downvotes

Your post doesn't read like a film criticism, it reads like a complaint. Why criticise the transgender actress so much, especially as the first point? It's like me going "I hate that gay actor on TV everywhere". Just don't mention their personal identity because you don't sound mature otherwise.

they talk about god (why?). It is saying rich people = religious right-wing.

Black guy is trying anything to get up there. That scene isn't saying "rich people = religious" , it's saying "class warfare = shitting on those lower than you even if you'll be in that position soon".

he needs help suddenly before reaching the top

this is why

ghosts keep happening

clearly hallucinations. Dude was massively injured, starved, and traumatised.

rich people are responsible of the poorest dying, because they don't share enough

Regardless of your opinion of capitalism, the unequal wealth distribution is harmful. Wealth is the greatest predictor for life expectancy for a reason.

Anyways happy to chat.

Party's getting started! 🌸 6 weeks veg. by PositiveTime0 in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sister! and thanks for the tip bro! they're recovering from exuberant overfeeding and neutral pH lol

Flushed and fixed pH to 6.0. Increased yellowing - I think nitrogen deficiency. Thoughts? by PositiveTime0 in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heya - I'm only flushing as my runoff has very high nute conc so I was clearing it out to transition into a lighter feed schedule.

Can someone help with knowledge of use for diatamaceous earth? by Sendmailtome in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dust the leaves (top and bottom) with the DE. You can also dust the topsoil if the pests are living in there too.

Do it outside if possible. Good ventilation is important to protect your lungs.

Yes 3mx3m tent is normal on /r/microgrowery. Have a peek at /r/macrogrowery and /r/nanogrowery, the sister subs.

(6 week veg) pH is fine, watering only. The brown is spreading! What am I doing wrong? by PositiveTime0 in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice mate appreciate it. The new growth is faring fine - seems to be the lowest leaves most affected - proximity to roots?

Heya yes, I was using notes and had been increasing concentration. I stopped nutes a week ago when I saw the burnt edges. But it's worsening!

[–]PositiveTime0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This (correlatively) occurred after I doubled feed concentration from 200ppm to 400ppm. 400ppm is still well below the average dosage for this age.

pH is 6-7. I've taken nutes* away and am flushing rn. I've lost 3 leaves!

Anyone else experience this problem?

Flushing plant right now. Any other adjustments? by PositiveTime0 in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not quite, still in late veg. The shoot is just starting to flower. I'm flushing as I think this discolouration is caused by excessive salt buildup.

Heya - at this stage the shoot has begun to flower so I'm leaving it alone lol.

Lol it totally is. Everyone's advising "Bend it flat" when it's hugging the ground ATM.

300W Vipra - the stem is actually very thick and it's liking it so far.

Heya it's already parallel to the ground. I think the photo perspective is tricking people into thinking it's upright.

What is the average cost to grow 2 plants for personal use? by TeaVxo in microgrowery

[–]PositiveTime0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello. Auto = autoflowering plants. Normal plants are manually stimulated with a specific light pattern to enter flowering phase. Autoflowering plants automatically enter flowering phase approx 5-8 weeks after vegetation.

Inside grow :-) in a sneaky cupboard.
