  I suppose I was talking about the tweet and not the response to the tweet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Biological Women⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I assumed it was “warfare,” and for that every example works

  I’m just here to point out that your stomach microbiome consists of bacteria and fungi, which are not plants.

  As an elder millennial, I’ve neither witnessed nor even heard of this “phenomenon.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar is winning the energy race - The world’s cheapest power source is scaling at warp speed, pushing coal, gas and nuclear aside⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I disagree. Here in Texas, for example, even while politicians push new fossil fuel investments, property owners and private solar companies are deploying small and medium sized photovoltaic projects all over the state. Solar is a higher percentage of our total generation mix every year, 10% of the total last year (<1% 5 years ago), and its growth is dramatically outpacing that of fossil fuels. You won’t see headlines about this, but the market forces are real

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Knowing that boomers had the "hate my wife/husband" humor because they were rushed to marry borderline strangers and didn't believe in therapy but can't prove it⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally underrated topic is how many Boomers were raised by WWII veterans with severe, untreated PTSD

  True, but that does surprisingly little to prevent homelessness.

  Yes, but it does a LOT to keep people experiencing homelessness of the streets and in shelter. In US cities that have harsh winters, they also have many fewer homeless folks visible on the streets than you’d find in California or Texas, where people can pretty much live outside in perpetuity

  Their 2024 gross revenue was about $1.9 billion, so $250 million would be over 13% of their total annual revenue

  Quick question for you…what is it you need to “figure out?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Antiwoke Straight of Hormwin⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately, it would still be in close proximity to Iran and well within attack distance, so it would be completely pointless.

  Next try Eraserhead and report back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spoopy figs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re just plain wrong. Figs and fig wasps have been coevolving for millions of years, and this is just how these species of fig and wasp evolved. Lots of animals have evolved to die after they reproduce. This is nature and has nothing to do with commercial fig growers
