  • …if thats true why are you being a dick to people doing the same thing, who are now not getting paid OT (oh sorry youre a gig worker and you have to hit 40 hrs a week and sorry you somehow worked 39 hrs in one day and maybe someday we will make you part-time with no benefits) and not getting raises (what was your staring salary again?) and have to deal with with the fucked housing market.

    Please dont try defend the housing market.

    Dude pick a lane. It okay to admit that the world is worse. We want to try and make it better. Thats like the whole point of being human. Making it slightly better for everyone than it was before. Why is that bad?

    Or are you shill bot for billionaires?

    And yea you sound sound suuuuper privileged to me. Like look up privilege on Wikipedia and its your goddamned face looking back on the first image privileged.

    Glad you retired. Good luck and gave fun. Please dont vote in US elections. You won! Congrats! You dont have to weigh in on future matters! You can coast forever and never worry!





  • You are literally the example that younger folks are disillusioned with. Retired with benefits and decent pay for grinding is not something that happens anymore. Saying “well it worked for me so you must not be trying hard enough” is a false assumption and also condensending.

    Put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Imagine you worked your ass off and grinded and learned and were never rewarded for that effort. That is by far most genx/mil/genz expirence in the US, and why we are angry.

    Grinding and getting a raise for working hard in a corperate structure is a dream that only happened to old folks.





  • Well if you want to really help pollinators putting in a little more care than zero will pay big dividends.

    I’d say build or buy a planter, 4’ ish or smaller, lug some good dirt up, and use an ollas in the center. An ollas is an unglazed terracotta pot that you bury in the centerof the planter with the spout sticking above the dirt. then fill with water once or twice a week or so and the water slowly leeches out and waters the planter.

    Pick out any plant that flowers that you like thats labeled as a perrenial and full sun. Some will be labeled as pollinator friendly. But the bees in my area go nuts for anything, cucumber pepper I had a hummer go for bell pepper flowers once.

    Get like 4-6 plants for a 4’ planter, depending on how big they get. Plant em. Water em real good for two weeks to get the roots established. Like every day water em for two weeks. Then you can go to using just the ollas every so offen and some extra water in heat waves. After 4-6 months sprinkle in some fertilizer to help keep the nutrients in the soil good.

    Over winter, take the ollas out to avoid a freeze. Put back in spring. Probably a 2L ollas or small is all you need.

    If you really can’t be bothered, try hardy hens and chicks. They are small plants that come in lots of variety and make small baby plants. You can pinch off a baby plant and stick it in a random rockwall and it will probably survive. They aren’t gonna help a pollinator though, more ornamental. Or get into cactuses.
