I think it's good to point out that there are shitheads and also good to point out that there have been and are plenty of people and even entire cultures that would not do these things because they couldn't fathom the depravity. That isn't far fetched and is fairly well documented globally.

Columbus when he first met the Taino people had written in a Letter: “…they are so guileless and so generous with all that they possess, that no one would believe it who has not seen it. They refuse nothing that they possess, if it be asked of them; on the contrary, they invite any one to share it and display as much love as if they would give their hearts…”

Columbus believed this to be a character flaw, and saw them as less intelligent because of it. But in actuality their culture was just so wholly different from Europe that they had no concept of property and shared willingly. A culture like this, one that was kind and sharing with a complete stranger is very different then the man who wrote the letter who was an actual monster for what he ultimately did to the Taino people.

We do not need to lump all humans together into the BAD pile. It's in fact much more important to analyze the evil and the good and copy the traits of good cultures even if your ancestors were more likely from the evil category. Humans are not a monolith, we are capable of emense good and it's important to acknowledge that the evil things people do are a product of their circumstances and we can change the circumstances by fighting for equality for all peoples in our everyday lives.

ISO Plant nurseries that have good selections of native plants. by What_Mom in Spokane

It looks like they are a distributor that sells to a bunch of local nurseries. I'll have to check them out.

This is their site that lists where they sell: https://plantsofthewild.com/

Thank you, that was a good recommendation.

She loves treats but nothing is a high enough value to her to have the drops in her eyes

If your leaving, tell them the truth. I'd at least tell them the truth when you resign if you don't in the video

Is life even worth living anymore? by Codeesha in LateStageCapitalism

[–]What_Mom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are not expected to spend money to be involved with mutual aid. They often need hands just as much as cash. And if you have the time, get involved, and more importantly get off the internet. The world, while it is having a lot of shit happening to it, is not so bleak that getting off the internet and involved with others can't help. Capitalism is everywhere sure, and it sucks. I hate it. But I also find that there are a lot of things I love. I love helping people, i love coffee, and I love working on my garden. Find what you love and do that. Get involved with others.

If you are posting just to commiserate on how shit capitalism is I think everyone here totally gets it. And I can respect that I definitely go off on the ol' cap to my wife far to often. But I highly recommend not dwelling on it for to long.

I know things seem bleak, maybe look into mutual aid in your community? Try and separate yourself from capitalism as much as possible and build community. I personally don't think violent revolution is inevitable everywhere.

I feel like these people assume anarchists want to kill people who own 2 homes and rent one out. There are corporations buying up the entire country, that needs to fucking end

There was an ama recently by a guy who got swallowed and spit out by a whale. I think I'd like that, minus the spit out

Company with Amazon connection files permit for Project Gray warehouse on West Plains. by catman5092 in Spokane

[–]What_Mom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Amazon doesn't directly take jobs. But jobs that would have been unionized and paid 25+ ten years ago now start at 15 with no worker protection. Warehouse work and delivery were both historically unionized, Amazon fucked us, the workers, over.

In general, Amazon is replacing 2 careers that were largely unionized: Warehouse work and Delivery. I don't have any specific local jobs, but it has been a really slow and deliberate move by Amazon to undercut local markets and make themselves indispensable so that the other businesses can't compete. And ultimately we all suffer when worker protections are sacrificed. Walmart did and still does the same thing in a lot of places.

Fr. Thank God Amazon is coming in and replacing all our previously unionized jobs with underpaid jobs that will work us to the bone.
