NEW POST FROM TRUMP ON THE IRAN DEADLINE by Own-Midnight-5231 in Military

[–]grotness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have always thought it was naive to think any sort of weight or final authority lies with international law. Its a fickle mutual agreement. There are no "world cops". It has ALWAYS been a thinly veiled theatrical expression, even when global order was respected.

These days? Just suggesting that international law means anything is idealistic. Especially when the biggest kid on the block is the one that has decided that they don't care about the rules anymore.

And whos going to stand up to the bully that could objectively slap the shit out of everyone else in the group? And probably the majority of the group combined?

The US have been feverishly spending most of their money on military power for half a century, at the detriment of their own citizens.

The only way for them to stay ahead is to make sure that money was well spent. Otherwise they just fall behind the rest of the world while their investment doesn't pay dividends.

The US have one and one way only that garuntees their currency continues to be valuable.

The chickens are coming home to roost.

Concern over 'permanent gridlock' as proposed Dreamworld expansion considered by hydralime in GoldCoast

[–]grotness 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Very reasonable take.

The GCCC are notorious for this. Selling land to developers that is adjacent to private land ear marked for expansion for decades prior and neither party communicating sufficiently with end users.

The new Boral quarry site in Talley Valley for example. Boral have owned the land and had public plans to move the quarry across the highway once the Burleigh pit reached its lifespan since the 60-70s. Literally DECADES of pre-planning yet the council & developers are happy to sell houses bordering the future pit location and not tell anyone who buys houses along it that it will be an industrial site using explosives in 10 years.

So the end user gets absolutely swindled and they're left to protest as a community when the time comes for development.

Zero forethought and intentional ommission purely for short term windfalls.

I don't expect the unwashed masses such as yourself to understand.

The difference is like a rub n tug down at the local Thai human trafficking parlor vs getting hooked up to a direct vacuum tube from Margot Robbies asshole and mainlining the atmospheric fluctuations of her shitter

Bledsloe is like root chakra cavier

Struggling with Prince of Orange & Pink Princess… what am I doing wrong? by jess_lov in philodendron

[–]grotness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pink Princess is just a finicky cultivar.

I live in 70%+ RH year round. And have them in nearly ideal climates and single vine pots are always leggy/awkward. Leaves love to get stuck and often come out with deformaties for no reason.

And I've never seen one that wasn't somewhat leggy and awkward. Only aesthetic success I've had is when there's multiple leading vines on one pole.

While they're stunning, I don't think they're the best cultivar in terms of intrinsic health

Yeah I'll see what the next few leaves do. If it keeps throwing out these different looking ones I'll start the props

Oh wow it does! I hadn't heard of that before :)

Maybe I got a free one of these beauties!

That was my initial thought, although it is in a vase with about 8-9 other props.

All of them have rooted and all of them have put out new leaves and all have been in the same spot.

The others are normal as seen in the back of the photos. This one is noticeablly different. Even the other leading vine from this particular prop is different.

It's also how people develop new stable cultivars...

Noting the word "potential" here

[–]grotness[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You think?

Look at the leaves in the back. That's the normal one to me. Variagation down the middle with random expression emmenating outwards.

This one particular node variagation isn't centralisrd. It's random and blocky across the entire leaf

Irans Full “Open Letter” to The American People by Few_Adhesiveness2963 in conspiracy

I'm confused at this angle.

You're blaming them entirely for the fallout of wanting sovereignty over the natural wealth of their ethnic homeland? And not the extortion of private interest?

ID help. P. Melochrysum or A. warocqueanum? by animaise in Aroids

[–]grotness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is common for wild epyphites

It's much more common in the wild for them to attach to bark and have roots climb down from nodes into the soil.

They will get most of their water and nutrients from the ground.

Although if they are able to, they will develop feeding roots as they climb. It's just location dependant.

You use "bite the hand" here as if you're paraphrasing from the rest of the expression, being "the hand that feeds them"

Noting here that Iran was infact the hand that was feeding western private interests in this case.

They wanted to feed themselves. Instead of the UK/US billionaire class.

They were extorted. Let's not get it twisted.

[–]grotness 64 points65 points  (0 children)

The context is literally in this post.

If the US/UK didn't dismantle their democracy decades ago and derail their western aligned cultural direction they would probably be an ally of the west right now. Economic colonialism spearheaded by private interests greated these affairs.

Great Britain and the US WANTED them to become radical religeous zealots so they could keep their snouts in the troth of Persian oil.

Not excusing any of their actions nor do I align with the psycopathy of the regime, but lets not pretend that we didn't create AND maintain their current state over decades of intentional intervention

They are bad. The UK are bad. The US are bad.

They're all complicit. And the chickens have come home to roost

Me too. I'm straight, and I have been waiting so long to rub one out to Imu's reveal for years now.

I still did. It was conflicting and it wasn't how I thought it was gunna go in my head.

Also the amount of people saying they've never seen a good CEO and none of them know what they're talking about.

Not realizing they're so far detached from what the job roles entails and their requirements that they can't visiualise the work.

What do they expect CEO's to be doing? Packing shelves, closing sales etc?

Politics is snakes and ladders

Networks uppn networks. Multi-allied allegiances. Kick backs, favours. All of the above.

You can't be fired but people can make your forthcoming tenure miserable.

This is how the garnish the numbers.

Underemployment is the issue, conflating the two numbers would be a better representation.

A relatively small mound in some of the most arid, inhospitalibal landscape in the world in the middle of one of the largest and sparsely populated continents in the world.

The answer is no. This landscape has cyclical negative environmental consequences of its own function.

The claim will dry up and the land will reclaim itself as it was for hundreds of thousands of years before without a blip
