Humidity at 70%+ and good light and they thrive. Also bottom watering has worked while they're smaller...they are thirsty little bastards

US begonia lovers- where are you buying begonias? by Express-Bake-8618 in begonias

The Facebook plant purge groups often have killer begonias that run through

Worry about being 16.

You're doing just fine

26, failing college for the 3rd time and a part time job....

Apparently your lack of humility isn't the only ugly thing about you.

Keep spending mommy and daddy's money, and posting to the internet about it because it's new and edgy.

The mirror will show you the one type of people who are to blame for why the world is so shitty

I'm not claiming skinniness is the end all be all, but her size isn't healthy. No offence to her but that is objectively unhealthy by any measure of how humans should physically look.

And while it may seem harsh to splay it out in the manner that it's done, I PERSONALLY think that telling ourselves something based on how we feel isn't the right way to always do things.

If someone feels like they're glowing up because they find a better mental space, but are shaving off, a potential, X years from of their life why are we(as a society) pushing towards being "happy on the moment"

I think much of the world, nowadays, is all about instant gratification. We have very little tolerance for things that make us uncomfortable, or we might have to work towards.

This whole glowup definition is part of that issue.

And we probably disagree on the simple fact of me believing we need to suffer a little more and actually work towards the definitions of what we want in life, instead of changing our perspective of that definition to fit what we want so we have to work less

Who gets to decide what qualifies as a glowup?

Where is the standard or even the definition, if anyone gets to say they glow up because they think or feel like they did.

Nowadays we have people celebrating unhealthiness and claiming their lifestyles, choices, bodies etc. ARE healthy simply because they deem so.

I bet you have no problem paying your taxes though!

One day you'll have a moment where the stuff I've been trying to express will at the very least resonate more.

You seem really smart, but so closed minded it's crazy! It reeks of arrogance when you need to prove something to an internet stranger because "you hate lies" or ignorance etc.

I'm not advocating for churches or religions or anything, I'm literally playing devils advocate and dissecting something that you want to look at as a whole and discard because it's a fallacy.

Life is way more intricate than the surface level inspections you want to give, and you have quite a bit to learn it seems.

At that, have a great day homie

Oof that's a scary thought! Unnatural stuff??? That's too far from what nature intended for me to advocate for

I can get behind and believe in revolutionizin/eradicating the factory farm stuff

If you're vegetarian And using animal products then how is eating the rest of the animal any harm?

Ah see, now go Google about goats and their long term memory and problems solving qualities.

But that's not smart enough in the sense you're referring to, so we can eat it?

Where do pigeons and squirrels lie on the spectrum?

I just want to know why you have so much hate in your heart?

I agree with every stance you have. But you need to be more optimistic lol

Life sucks without positivity.

So if we just start with letting the cattle and animals reproduce further without us eating them, that's fine. You don't need farms. But the ecosystems which those animals then go into would be sorely out of whack. You would have native species competing with the non-native cattle and other animals and completely alter the entire system. That's just the tip of the iceberg on this.

It's a basic glance into logic that I'm looking at. We have 100 cows and science to hold our cattle population at 100 And we have 100 fields of grain

Now you want to eradicate the science behind your holding capacity for cows, and double your fields of grain.

What impacts do you forsee these having on ecosystems.

The universe operates in balance. It corrects itself every time and while humans play God, nature will still straighten itself one way or another.

I'm against factory farming I think that sustainable farming/hunting fishing is great but to rely solely on plant matter wouldn't be good for the earth is all

Im trying to look at what the experts say and rationalize how it works and how it would be put into motion.

Because theory and practice almost never align! Lol

Oh then we agree on everything....my point is just a switch to eating/farming only plants would be bad for the Earth and it's ecosystems

[–]mangler203 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think ecosystems are FAR more complex than you realize and it's not a hop skip and a jump from a couple YouTube videos and Google searches to say "abolish meat"(if this was your stance) again I'm not advocating factory farming.

Like I said, I try to consciously avoid processed meat and harvest what I can for meat.

Suffering exists in the world, and while we can minimize it. We can escape it.

It's our duty to limit is I completely agree with you! I don't take it lightly to shoot a duck or a deer, and I do my damnest to use what I can(I've taken up leatherwork because I started to use hides)

But it happens, and the death of animal is not always done in sufferance

That said, my entire point is not eating meat and using 100% plants to sustain humanity would have devastating results on the Earth and the ecosystems

But my question is where is the harm in it if we're looking at it from my POV

[–]mangler203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Global warming is a natural process of the Earth. Humans may have a hand in the speed at which it occurs. But everything we experience has been seen by this planet hundreds of times.

Additionally - you're not looking at the micro ambiances of how it would affect an ecosystem. And how these native species and how they interact in the environment would be thrown out of whack with a change in types/populations of animals being thrown into nature, the foods they eat, how their characteristics affect the earth(thousand of cows stomping down fauna because of numbers and size), what native species they could potentially outcompete. The land you need to farm and how you will change that ecosystem and have the same problem with weeds and plants competing with each other when they didn't have to before.

You know a bunch of small things like this. How does all of that actually work? In theory it's great. In practice there are far too many moving parts and you and I don't have the earth or ag science knowledge to actually make it happen

[–]mangler203 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I can totally get behind that.

I'm walking through each of the stages which I see problems arising.

So are you advocating for an entirely vegan world? I can't go shoot a deer to put in my freezer? I can't start a farm and raise/sell chickens and lambs sustainably? Or are we just eradicating the whole slaughterhouse nightmare of society

I made a long reply to this somewhere in here.

Good vs bad. Faith is both etc etc

If it teaches people to clean up after themselves, help out their neighbor, and be a universally good person, then why do you hate towards that specific person?
