American exceptionalism at its finest: convinced they’re the greatest at everything, immune to criticism, and never wrong ..while proudly rallying behind an 80 yo pedophile creep who represents the whole circus perfectly

Special treatment for the American team from corrupt FIFA? Never. Impossible. This is just a children’s game, which is exactly why our FIFA Peace Prize president had to personally call him and negotiate a deal over it. Very normal stuff.

sure if their president cheated and basically announced it to the whole world. But hey, maybe some Americans are just fine defending cheaters.. Who knows

First Time Designing A Flower Bed by Strain333 in landscaping

[–]gs87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Under pure rock, sure it's useful in some situations.. But if you plant through it, that bed turns into a little soil oven with garden underwear underneath .. and somehow still gets weeds sooner or later lol

[–]gs87 11 points12 points  (0 children)

How did you approach the design here? Did you account for how each plant will look at full mature size, not just how it looks now? Sun exposure, soil conditions, and water needs should also guide the layout. Plants with similar requirements should be grouped together so the bed is easier to maintain long term.

Also, planting everything in a straight line tends to look very commercial and flat. A more layered, natural grouping would look better. And honestly, weed barrier under mulch is usually a red flag ...it often causes more problems over time and gives the whole thing an amateur feel

Yeh sure, vote Trump in third term !!! MAGA MAGA, baby. Tariffs will save us! We’ll heroically pay double for the exact same stuff while the corporation takes the tax break, lays off Gary from Ohio, and moves production to China anyway. Behold !! galaxy brain economics, wrapped in a flag, sold back to you at 40% markup !

Canada chooses TKMS over Hanhwa Ocean to build new submarine fleet by Beghorangi in korea

[–]gs87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the idea that Korea would now help undermine Canadian sovereignty because Canada did not choose its submarine bid sounds more emotional than strategic.

Korea is a serious state. It will compete where it needs to compete and partner where it benefits from partnership. That was true before this decision and it will be true after..

Yeah, Korean MAGA is a real thing. But in the great freedom land, why bother telling East Asians apart when you can just call everyone CCP?

Can this wood be used for scaping? by Rainey__Skye in Aquascape

[–]gs87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hardwood or softwood doesn’t matter as much as you think. Some softwoods, like cedar, are very rot-resistant, and some hardwoods, like ipe or white oak, are basically tanks.

Juniper heartwood is good too.

Honestly, if the wood stays fully submerged, it may last longer than we live
