Would be cool to see it make a comeback on some of the buffalo reservations. Don't know if those places have quite the herd size to make it feasible. Amazing what some of the vast herds could do to transform the prairies back in the day.

That's buffalo clover right? Isn't that extinct, or like really close to it?

There are native clovers, but they aren't what you would really classify as ground cover.

There are native clovers, but they aren't really what you would utilize for ground cover.

That pedophiles are bad? Not believing in free will technically nullifies any moral evaluation of the virtues of any group. The only thing that would matter is consequences

If you don't believe in free will then what is the point of disputing or chastising any claim? Why would consequences even matter if they are already pre-determined by circumstance or a higher power?

Yes, but the nature of that loneliness is different when it comes to romantic loneliness within the heterosexual sphere. Just look at how many more men are on dating apps vs women.

Maybe that's because women are better at communication and thus are more likely not seek emotional support from friends instead of seeking codependency with a partner.

What is the actual difference between romantic loneliness and loneliness.....kinda just sounds like you're defining it as sex plus codependency.

Lashing out? I think you are inserting something into the conversation that I never defended. Maybe mixing up responses.

Eh.... Based on our previous conversation you appear to be harboring some unhealthy opinions.

I'll tell you any embarrassing thing about myself because why would I care? There are no stakes other than the discourse. Which you don't seem like you have a good authentic desire to engage with.

It's not just embarrassing.... It's admitting to immaturity and an inability to process your emotions, and then treating someone poorly because of it. So what, you didn't get something you wanted, that's life. There's no reason then to lash out at your coworker by avoiding them, just because they had the audacity to be attractive.

TBH I'm also pretty dead inside so I probably wouldn't care if we were in person either but still why are you so obsessed with status on a random internet thread

Lol, status? What does anything we communicated about have to do with status?

think you are potentially projecting additional details here and that by avoiding her I was hurting her feelings or something. She almost certainly had no idea I was avoiding her. I wasn't making a big show of it.

Avoiding a coworker because of the way they look is not only poor work place etiquette, but it's morally abject. Im sure if a woman made a post about avoiding a guy at work because of his looks you would have a different opinion...

had no ill will towards her I just was avoiding an infohazard.

You were avoiding confronting your emotional immaturity.

completely unsurprising to me that you lack empathy and it was an error of mine in assuming you were maybe capable of it considering your other responses. My mistake I guess.

I have empathy... it's just for your coworker, who did nothing wrong and was treated differently just because she didn't reciprocate your feelings.

. Its not some kind of injustice that I dare not be her work friend.

You don't have to be her work friend, just don't treat her differently than everyone else because she's an attractive woman.

I believe that's a large part of it, however I do think that to be successful in certain fields women are forced to adopt certain social norms usually associated with men.

For example, Elizabeth Holmes dressing like Steve jobs and adopting a deeper voice actually got her foot into a lot of doors. There are so many articles of business men being fooled into investing into an obvious scam just because of how she presented herself.

Grass isn't inherently a bad idea for a lawn, it's just specific to your individual climate. The main issue is that most of the grasses people plant are native to much cooler climates in Europe.

I have a grass lawn, but it's a native Buffalo grass. It's much more drought tolerant than clover, flowers a couple times a year, doesn't require any maintenance, and provides a natural habitat for native wildlife.

Clover isn't actually much better than most grasses if you are trying to support the natural biodiversity. It's not native to north America, and thus only supports a small range of wildlife that's adapted to it.

A Lot of America's natural ground cover is actually low lying shrubs and flowering plants.

Lol, as opposed to Lemmy....where everyone has actual leftist values, until you mention feminism.

Lol, no it's an actual question. I don't really see any gotcha-like statements, just explaining my point of view.

Btw accusations aren't really a rebuttal. Good attempt though!

Nah, Lemmy is great. Especially if you enjoy dunking on incels.

It's worth mentioning that the videos perspective and conclusions are made within the lens of a capitalistic economy. Other economic models differ in their needs for economic stability. It's also worth noting that capitalism has its own internal contradictions that have no real solution.

If we extend the logical basis of the video we end up with a scenario where the economy requires infinite growth which requires an infinitely expanding population to sustain. This is just not possible within a closed system with finite resources.

In conclusion we have yet to reach a point of overpopulation, however we aren't very far from it given the compound growth required to sustain the most common economic system we utilize. Humans have used more of our natural resources in the last generation than all generations of the past put together. We will eventually have to change our economic system and adapt one with a much much lower consumption rate, figure ways to limit our population growth, or more than likely both.

Of fucking course it's funded by princess of the neolibs. Heiress billionaire and founder of Thirdway, a political lobbying group that supports the destruction of progressive politics in the democratic party. Why can't the children of billionaires just enjoy their lives on a private island somewhere and leave us the fuck alone?

Is it too hard to ask these trust fund kids to just live in lavish obscurity? Why do they yearn for the guillotine?
