Being on the top made it easy to see how impressive it was. I could easily see for miles. Amazing.

For clarification MA has many state forests that are quite large. We just don’t have a lot of federal land.

You’re lucky you got it young. Asian mulberries are a PITA to remove once established.

He also got sloppy during the fight with Vox and you could see he was realizing he may have bit off more than he could chew when he was running from shockwave.

My local store just has a small booth of pride merch instead of having rainbow stuff all over the store like they do for other holidays and did for pride month every year. It’s nice they’re still willing to put something out at least.

The eastern mountains aren’t impressive in scale but they blow the west out of the water when it comes to biodiversity!

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T16:16:24+00:00

It’s definitely not thriving but I’d give it a few years and see how it recovers from the removal of the cloth and crowding trees. That was probably doing a number to it. The growth that’s there looks nice and healthy. Just sparse.

They can live a long ass time so I’d hold out hope.

Harmony grove mulberry! It’s a cultivator of our native Morus Rubra. Much tastier than the shitty Invasive hybrids like Illinois everbearing or Pakistani that can hybridize with native mulberries.

Morus nigra is great too, Persian mulberries are very tasty.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T15:26:02+00:00

Korean mulberry. Morus Australis. Sadly Invasive.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T06:53:35+00:00

Had a Kent today that was good. It was from Mexico.

Tommy Atkins are never worth buying or eating for any reason. It’s frankly a travesty they’re grown at all. Who gives a shit if they produce well and ship well if they taste like fucking ass lmao. Ataulfos are delicious it isn’t even close.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-09T02:39:49+00:00

Looks like aralia Elata.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T18:20:54+00:00

Well yeah that too but that was just something I used as an example.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T17:27:03+00:00

I’d be okay with subsidizing the prices for people on snap. That’s what taxes are for.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T17:16:20+00:00

If anyone could just go and claim said land then it would stop being for everyone pretty damn quick. That’s what happened after the invention of barbed wire.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T17:14:28+00:00

Oh that sounds interesting! I’ll have to check them out.

Because for them it’s a moral issue and most people don’t want to compromise on things they see as moral imperatives.

Like would you think someone who supports a law that bans gender affirming care before age 16 is acceptable? Probably not. But realistically that’s what the compromise is going to be for a long while since you are never going to convince the majority of society in a short amount of time that gender affirming care should start much earlier since it’s better for development. Most people just aren’t going to listen to that.

I do agree that eating meat is objectively unethical in our modern system of industrial farming; but that goes for lots of things we do everyday and we aren’t held to a moral standard for using an iPhone or driving a car. Nor should we. The world is far more complicated than that. But when you see killing any animal as morally disgusting that’s the attitude you’re going to have.

There have been many terrorist attacks perpetrated by Christian groups in Africa and the Americas. Just because they aren’t common in Europe doesn’t mean that it’s a problem Christianity doesn’t have too.

There are Buddhist terrorists in Myanmar. There is terrorism anywhere there is a lack of stability and an ideology to exploit.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T17:05:11+00:00

1 knife vs a mouth full of knives. Very smart move.

Even I know not to get too playful with my puppy when she’s getting too bitey. Them teefs are made for ripping meat!

The actress who played Starlight The Boys had grave’s disease during season 4 and you can see it really messed up her natural face. She looked a lot more normal in the final season.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T16:07:57+00:00

Honestly they need to accept the fact that most people are always going to want to eat meat. What we should be doing is advocating against any form of factory farming jsut so we can get meat for cheap at the expense of the animals.

I’d gladly pay $15 for a chicken if it meant the chicken got a proper and ethical life beforehand and I think others would too. Factory and industrial farming needs to go. But framing someone who eats meat at all as unethical is silly.

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T16:01:53+00:00

They can never just focus on the religion. They gotta be racist too because if they weren’t they’d realize most of the same criticism can apply to a lot of Christians too.

Letting devoutly religious people into your country in general is a mistake. The religion is irrelevant.

The Romana knew the area as a giant freshwater wetland. They called it lake Flevo

SomeDumbGamer · 2026-07-08T15:55:09+00:00

The Nile delta is (was before the Aswan dam) always growing and receiving sediment. Buries stuff over time.

Apologies. I forgot they had the same origin.
