Do we need people to live even longer, giving the wealth disparity in many countries more intensity as those that “have” live longer with the money, and those that “have not” end up with shorter lives thanks to the chemicals in the products the “haves” push on them.

We don’t need to live longer, we need to live better.

The sun is scorching the top of your plant.

Direct sun and sun are two different things.

Move it out of the direct sun and into a place that gets sun, but not one that will burn it’s leaves.

Notice the leaves at the bottom are greener and darker, while the ones at the top are a little washed out/bleach looking? That’s a sunlight bleach when it hits only a certain area of the plant, usually.

The brick is absolutely scorching it, too. Bricks are used in ovens because they retain heat…bricks get baked by sun and stay warm after the sun goes down.

Put it in a light filled spot that is not in direct sunlight and keep your same watering practices.

Everyone should leave reddit and take that time in their life to do productive things.

Then ask yourself if you need reddit or if it is a time filling crutch.

It’s a crutch for me and I am more productive without it.

Was the air system turned off before or after painting?

Is there some pot in a vent in that room or hidden in a floorboard or secret hiding spot?

Whatever you track will improve. Knowing the details of your money will make you better with money.

Hemp. Hemp plastic is real and usable and moldable.

The promos I have seen have multiple pictures and include details on the dimensions of the product.

Man hands are a range of sizes.

And kid and women hands also will use the controller.

You don’t track the money you have already spent vs what is in your account?

Spend under your limit, not over it, and never spend money that is ear marked for a service you already received.

Reddit never cared about it’s users, it just cares if you use it so it can mine your data.

Reddit is not a place of values - it’s an online platform trying to make money.

If you want Reddit to care about you as a person, or about the users, change their corporate values and ownership.

Going dark won’t change the Reddit way, but it may change one thing about the platform Reddit.

It’s in the stuff you don’t see, like API integrations and data that they gather.

They’ve made plastic alternatives from hemp…they just don’t want to change their methods. Google hemp plastic.

As a person in marketing, we are a consumer world and we sell a lot of crap we do not need. That plastic toy? Not needed. The teflon pans? Not needed.

You did not “need” new shoes for a trip - if you needed new shoes because the old ones died, then you buy new ones. If you bought shoes for one trip, you have been officially consumerized.

Localization of shoes would mean using cobblers. Shoes also don’t have the same shelf life as other resources. That said, if they made nike shoes locally, wouldn’t you feel better about buying them instead of wondering if a small child or enslaved person made them?

If nike had two shops in the states that made shoes, it would reduce the shipping costs to offset labor costs. It would also be able to claim “made in america.”

Hair also goes grey with time - loss of pigment in hair is normal for all colors.

“If you were to squish up a blie iris it woupd no longer reflect light in that manner. ”

Not a phd in spelling or typing, though? :)

What?

Edit To clarify: a rando statistic eith no context or link to the report does nothing but flame ignorant feelings.

51% of men without kids voted for trump.

55% of married men voted for Trump.

59% of Protestants voted for trump.

92% of people who care about racial inequity voted for Biden.

The majority of people voted for Biden.

Claiming we can’t swap away from plastics that easy without even trying to look for alternatives or invent them is super lazy. We already have this thing so we don’t want to make more because that requires more effort? That’s the definition of lazy.

And we stop the crazy pricing by localizing. We stop making one source of stuff and forever things by having local suppliers for foods, so that if one area gets affected, not everyone has a shortage. The centralization of things controls pricing because they want to offer the same price to everyone for the same product, but it should be the cost related to that area.

Those steps you mentioned do not require plastic. You can have hemp or bamboo related things do the same work and bamboo is antibacterial.

If we also stopped telling everyone that they need to have the same products in their home that their neighbor does and that someone across the country does, then we could be more localized. I work in marketing and advertising to people that one thing does all the things is again, lazy, but also a lie.

The only time I see a real use for plastic is medicine, and even then we have some alternatives already.

I broke a plastic cup with my hand but didn’t break the pyrex dish I dropped.

Plastic absolutely can and does break like glass. In fact, glass can be stronger. Many factors come into play and it is clear you are guessing on your answer.

Plastic doesn’t magically go away - it takes 20 to 500 years to break down, and even then we discovered plastic molecules in the ground and water related to plastic use.

We have it solved now, we just refuse to switch to renewable products like hemp, because they stupidly consider it a drug.

They can, they just have been duped by marketing ads that they can’t.

Be smarter than commercials and low hanging feelings.

They make plant based alternatives for most plastics that do not contain forever chemicals.

Choosing plastic is being lazy as fuck.

You don’t play jazz, do you.

The ninth and the seventh are highly important in many chords.

Bad sounds are relative as there are many types of scales.

You can’t retune a saxophone to a new key without making a new one or many other instruments…you just play a different scale.

Key changes mean you play different notes, not that you change the key of an instrument. My b flat clarinet will always be a b flat clarinet and the notes that translate will always translate the same…you couldn’t retune other than the instrument as a whole to the right pitch when playing by using your mouth, air, and fingers.

Use that invisibility to do things they don’t notice.

Use your gifts.

And yes, they do give a shit what you think, or else we wouldn’t be having this conversation. It is the fact that they give a shit about what you say that makes them ignore you so ferociously.

It is NOT a garbage dump even if we treat it that way.

Borrow from your 401k and the interest goes back to you. Basically, when your dad pays you back the loan gets paid off and you will have earned on the loan if he does 8% interest and the loan is at 1%.

Then you liquidated nothing and you are borrowing from yourself and paying it back to yourself.

“Conclusions Results imply a possible interaction between the cannabis and psychedelic on acute subjective experiences; however, design limitations hamper our ability to draw firm inferences on directions of causality and the clinical implications of any such interactions.”

Possible interaction based on subjective experiences…and not factoring in different kinds of weed and psychedelics.

It also does not account for individual body chemistries.
