CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto The Onion@midwest.social•Trump Gives Russia 10-Day Deadline To End UkraineEnglish5·3 days agoA lot of people eating the onion in the comments.
- ”If we give homeless people money, they won’t want to work to earn it. I earned my way!"
- “Poor people are bad with money. That’s why they are poor.”
I have a terrible back but love gardening so I invested in 3 foot high bins. They are a life saver for not only my back but keeps rabbits from eating the vegetables. If you get the right soil mixture you don’t have to worry about the weeds.
The dirt…you can’t do much about that except hydroponics like you said but that has its drawbacks too. At the end, you do what helps you and keeps you happy.
My biggest issue at this point is mosquitoes so I’ve started wearing long pants and a light jacket. That seems to have helped things.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.world•Turkey sets new record of 50.5 degrees as Europe sweltersEnglish611·4 days agoI rode in an Uber once where the driver was a conspiracy theorist. He said that global warming was made up by the liberal elite to make people gay. And then without taking a breath, talked about how every summer seems to get warmer than the year before.
My experience with using grocery store bought garlic is mixed. When it did work, it grew a lot of leaves but not the bulb. When I researched this, it’s because garlic requires specific soil conditions to grow its bulbs.
But bulb aside, garlic is a good natural critter repellent. It’s good to grow around lettuce and kale. Though I haven’t found a good cover plant to keep white butterflies away. Right now I’m using netting which they can sometimes find a way into.
As someone who has a garden and has successfully grown garlic from cut ends of store bulbs…
It’s not worth the labor.
I garden, yes, but the economy of scales of buying at the grocery store is much lower than growing your own vegetables. You garden because you want to enjoy vegetables that are either heirloom or you want the freshness.
Between the labor, watering, fertilizing, maintaining, etc. it’s simply cheaper to buy at the store.
Very much agree. She is chill af and explains her thoughts rationally. The first time I saw her video on Target, it felt a bit off but the more I listened the more I related to what she was saying.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto News@lemmy.world•Justice Elena Kagan urges judges not to be intimidated by increase in threatsEnglish71·6 days agoYeah this is one of those statements that’s easy for the powerful make not realizing the effort it takes for normal people to do something.
I’m sure supreme court justices have some level of security but doubt that even federal appellate judges do. They are often far more influential than SCOTUS.
The fact that going against a political entity requires security should give us all pause for concern.

I’d love to do more with Bluetooth beacons but don’t know enough about how they work to do anything with them.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•DEMS PULL UPSET ON EPSTEIN FILES: Democrats dropped an 11th-hour motion at an unrelated hearing after noticing that most GOP members on the panel had publicly demanded the files be released.English26·7 days agoThe only way they can bifurcate Trump from MAGA is if they have an equally “charismatic” strongman that can take his place. It would especially help if he’s young.
And it’s not Vance.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•When will we have reached enough productivity?English31·7 days agoI’m agree with the consequence but not the cause. Jack Welsh figured out the cheat code to increase short term stock prices by laying off people, regardless of their actual role or value to the company.
Since then, every company has done it whenever they need a quick boost in numbers.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•PBS and NPR are generally unbiased, independent of government propaganda and provide key benefits to US democracyEnglish161·7 days agoBecause conservatives don’t care about fair reporting. They want their reporting.
There’s a saying: facts have a liberal bias.
If you really want to get into the history, there is a Behind the Bastards episode where they talking about how during the Nixon scandal, conservatives saw that once the public was made aware of the link between Nixon and the thieves, the country turned on them.
They noticed that the facts were assumed to be true. That’s why they started attacking power journalists like Walter Cronkite because their names were associated with facts.
After Nixon, conservatives attacked the Fairness Doctrine rule. And Fox News was born.

CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT advises women to ask for lower salaries, study findsEnglish10·9 days agoHonestly it’s a bit refreshing to see racism and ageism codified. Before there was no logic to it but now, it completely makes sense.
CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.comto politics @lemmy.world•House Speaker Mike Johnson Says He Won't Hold Vote Calling on Trump to Release Epstein Files. Trump needs "space," Johnson saysEnglish3·9 days agoThat’s why the judge in the NY case was such a pussy.
Absolutely nowhere in the Constitution bars a sitting president from serving his term from prison. No federal law bars a state from holding a sitting president in prison to serve his prison sentence.
His only constitutional requirement is to be able to execute duties of the office. If his Cabinet feels like his prison sentence would preclude that, well there is an amendment to fix that.
Honestly Vance should have pushed this issue to force himself as acting president.
I feel like black is better at hiding detail. Women’s slips are black vs white for example.
