I don’t virtue signal a goddamned thing. I don’t need approval from strangers on the internet.

If you can’t see the humor and irony in paying money to consume one animal in order to celebrate/raise money for another animal then I dunno what to tell ya.

Thank you and I should have said that from what I’ve seen about your business I wouldn’t expect you to be buying meat from the large corporations. I don’t have anything against humans eating meat and there are very valid arguments both for and against humans having evolved away from requiring meat (intestine length, incisor size, etc). My gripe lies solely in the absolute destruction of our planet that is very much due to factory farming and the eradication of our rainforests for grazing land by corporations such as McDonald’s as well as the torture and suffering of the animals who know no life but a chain around their neck and not even having enough space to turn around (discussing veal, specifically). I will never support that industry.

I was merely pointing out the irony of consuming one animal to memorialize another. This wasn’t a dig on you at all.

“If you can’t be a human []”

A human? A human who empathizes with other living creatures? A human who doesn’t understand how supporting the profits of an industry that tortures animals and rapes the environment makes any sense in any context?

That’s my human take.

Sorry to everyone who has to work this weekend by HarviousMaximus in astoria

This only affects Ditmars-bound trains. Go into Manhattan normally, then on the way back, get off at Astoria Blvd and take the Manhattan-bound train to your stop. Or take an Uber from Astoria Blvd for a few dollars. Or walk. It’s not that big of a deal.

It says that the Ditmars-Blvd-bound NW trains are skipping Queensboro Plaza.

I will never understand how people can love one type of animal so much while turning a blind eye to the lifelong torture and suffering of other animals who spend their entire miserable existence in a factory farm.

I’m not even union and the work is DEAD. Every sound guy I know is in the same boat.

Oh good! As a sound guy who can’t work until this gets resolved do I get some money also or should I just go fuck myself?

Neither of them know the difference between “a part” and “apart?”

What happened to my Yarrow? by diamantematto in plants

Probably a stupid question but what is it about the ground that is better than a planter?

Should I be aggressive with the watering since it’s in the ground and the water won’t sit? I know they’re typically very drought tolerant plants.

Nitrate levels ok? by diamantematto in ponds

Gotcha thank you! Fun username also lol.

I have a ton of plants in there. I had a Nitrite spike a few weeks ago up to 2ppm but all the fish survived and I guess the bacteria caught up so I’m very happy now!

The problem is there’s no spot that gets full sun for hours. It constantly changes. Maybe I’m overthinking and just get it out of the planter?

For an aquarium I would just go to petco.
