Russia occupying Crimea or attacking Kyiv is not “propaganda” it is material, verifiable fact. If your position is “those are already part of Russia” then fuck you.

Not to denigrate your experience but this is a good litmus test for anxiety. I can’t relate to this at all but my partner is hyper-aware of the feelings of others and readily attaches emotional significance to objects so this anecdote is very much something I’d expect from her. I hope your day-to-day isn’t filled with feigned enthusiasm.
That kind of blatant mischaracterization of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is exactly why people call you guys Tankies.

Plants do do dimorphic gametes but it’s complicated by their two-stage life cycle.

That said, white rice does store a long time so it’s a good thing to hoard if you’re worried about food availability.

Soggy@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•"The road to authoritarianism": Tim Walz says the time for "sternly worded letters" is overEnglish11·4 days agoPatriotism is nationalism and it’s a toxic impulse. Borders are fake and division fuels bigotry.
Soggy@lemmy.worldtoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•the jackdaw whispers 'get a mullet'English6·7 days agoIt’s probably related to the term bangtail which I guess is a thing with horses and other livestock where they trim the tail hair straight across for reasons. Delving further into speculation it could have picked up the pluralization along a “those women with their bang cuts” > “their bangs” sort of route. I dunno man, language is weird.
Here’s another haircut example: the mohawk, also called a mohican in the UK and presumably other places, is a recognizable style independently named after two different indigenous American tribes that didn’t wear their hair like that. America picked it up from the film Drums Along the Mohawk and the UK got it from The Last of the Mohicans a few decades later.
They also tend to be at least 30% more expensive than a proper grocery store, so it’s really wasteful to not drive and get a week’s worth of food at a time.
It’s complicated and different districts do different things. Plenty of kids did take the city bus to my high school (there was a vastly reduced fee for minors and plenty of subsidized programs for free or cheap monthly passes).
Plane or sand it smooth and refinish it. Probably you would need to strip and refinish the whole thing to blend it in but that is an advantage to wooden furniture.
