But he fucks her through a handmaid proxy.

I think we're going to get multiple internets and you'll have to subscribe to them like streaming services.

What valuable insight. A shame we didn't have you at the critique.

This article seems a bit occlusive, even though it's presenting facts in favor of a more detailed understanding of our forests.

For some additional information, logging companies need to replant clearcuts. Within a certain range of other trees, the forest will regenerate naturally if only small, selective cuts are taken. Those are minor wounds, clearcuts need skin grafts. Replanted trees are higher value species, sometimes only two kinds. Historically, no/few regulations on maintaining biodiversity has led to disease and explosions in insect populations who live off those species. You get big chunks of dead forest now more susceptible to fire and a lot of forest isn't that old. More like tree-farming than a naturally biodiverse, heathy landscape. Because it's all going to be harvested again in 40-80 years anyway.

Those forests need more maintenance, too, just like crops. They're sprayed down with chemicals that kill off competing plant species, inspected for disease and destructive insects, and generally just fucked with on the regular so they'll be worth more when harvested.

That means a replanted forest that's just waiting to be logged or taken down by spruce/pine beetles and disease is a lot different from old growth.

Do you not understand humor and subtext?

Not sure about the movies but in the comics Thanos is in love with Death, who often appears as a woman. He had roundabout ways of justifying his acts of destruction when he really wanted to do a grand gesture to show his love for Death. Because, if you have the power to kill half of all people in the universe, you have the power to implement some decent economic policies instead.

It's even more relatable when a villain really wants something people won't support so they change the branding and find a few examples to support their claim.

I would like to go into business with you.

And I wear a gilly suit when I go out, since anything less is asking for trouble.

It's okay for toddlers to attend daycare. It is not okay for race jockeys to attend daycare.

Guess I need to check my biases.

Where in this thread are people doing that? I only see a few comments in favor of male support groups and none demonizing them.

I forgot about poison. Everyone should know it's super easy to make poison. Toad venom is so big right now I bet that's easy to get, too.

That wasn't thinly veiled, it was just a provocation.

I wasn't referring to technical communities and it's strange you would assume that. There's a difference between not participating and being told not to participate. One requires self-moderation, and not everyone is great at it.

There are toxic groups of all kinds. The existence of exclusive, toxic groups doesn't make exclusivity toxic. Weird you're comparing a women's only instance to communities who are cruel to outsiders/beginners. There are lots of communities based around race, gender, illness and disability that exist to support people who don't feel comfortable talking certain topics outside those groups, usually because of a lack of shared lived experience.

If you don't understand why groups of people of an identity, who face similar challenges because of that identity, would want to curate their space, I don't know what other comparison to make.
