oh ...😞 because of all the age verification/digital ID stuff coming down the pike? there's so much I'm ok with not seeing - even happy not to see - but I will really miss YouTube. I learn a lot on YouTube.

We're just saving seeds from any apples we buy. Have you seen David the Good videos on starting fruit trees from seed? He's got a peach (nectarine?) that he started from seed and shows it in a video just a few years later and it's doing great. I don't know if you have animals, but with poultry or pigs in particular, even if you get mealy apples it's a nice tree and terrific fodder for them. But I'll take a look at the link! EFN looks great.

Fruit trees are my favorite investment ♥️ This year I'm hoping for more cuttings (figs grow ridiculously easily from cuttings) and I'm even trying some apple seeds. I know that it's unlike that we'll get a good eating apple, but I'm curious what might grow.

So far the plums I've planted aren't doing great, so someone recommended the Auburn University varieties, which I think have been bred for more disease resistance in my area. Yesterday I planted AU Producer AU Rosa Fingers crossed... How are your Japanese plums doing? Are they old enough to fruit?

GM, Nostr friends! I'm planning to get a few plum trees and lots of strawberry plants into the ground today. Hope you all have a wonderful day and get some time outside ☀️

As a relatively new pleb, I have found this accusation bewildering. We're all adults here, and we know that the bitcoin/dollar exchange goes up and down quite a bit, and we know that Strike (or others) can't possibly know the size of our stack - right? so ffs behave accordingly I think it's a small loud group who are still having trouble with the self-responsibility aspect of it all.

Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing There's a ton of gross stuff out there, but most of it is power brokers doing power-broker shenanigans. Your blob at work. Who is surprised by that? people who didn't seem to have anything to do with kids are getting dragged into it and even though sex trafficking probably happened there's not a ton in these emails that would lead directly to an arrest And it's all we're talking about

ooh, I'm sorry 😢 🫂

the universe just needed to hear your full apology to Luke Gromen

I agree with so much of this. I'm curious about the monopoly question, as it seems to me that most of the monopolies that we see have been facilitated by centralized power. In an anarcho capitalist society, how would monopolies not be disrupted by other businesses?

yes, thank you

ah, shoot most of those things are rough everywhere

Where you live: has it never been inhabited by a people who are no longer there?

I keep hearing that Trump basically does Art of the Deal all the time. Threaten something huge, let everyone totally freak out, then settle on what you wanted from the beginning.

Welcome, Marty!!

Occasionally you have a toxin that correlates very closely with a particular diagnosis, but more generally toxins (and there are a number of recognized toxins in childhood shots) are detrimental to biology in ways that will manifest differently depending on the particular child. Are there patterns and tendencies? of course But "vaccines cause autism" or "vaccines don't cause autism" reveals incredibly simplistic understanding of human health.

yum!!

It's not loading for me, but I remember this clip And here's the thing - it's possible that he misspoke, but even so the arrogance is quite something: we can create and impose all these things because we know what's best for humanity every time I look up research that claims not to have ties to pharma, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is right up at the top

exactly! the budget? Iran? more blob shenanigans? and if nothing else, it's distracting from the building we could be doing So I'm going to try to stop reading and talking about it! too much good stuff to do

Hi!! welcome to Nostr 💜

😂 so for you "not close to 100%" in fact means zero please don't apply for any jobs that require good reading comprehension

None of the many Jewish people I know are power-hungry crazies. Zero I don't know what the percentage is, but it's not close to 100%

I have to make my peace with that endless cycle of "that's crazy" to "yeah, of course, we always knew"

It's the poor logic that bothers me as much as the hatefulness. If you're upset about the power hunger that you think is common in a particular group, the problem isn't some other characteristic of that group. It's the hunger for power. By definition that's the problem.

yikes
