Honestly, maybe you’re serious. And maybe you’re a nice person and you just don’t get how what you’re saying comes off. But you just put “hand terracing a hill” in the same paragraph where you then said that acting like gardening is hard is silly.

Maybe for the person who has the knowledge, skills, abilities, and resources to successfully hand terrace a hill it isn’t that hard? I’m sure LeBron James doesnt find layups that hard either.

Regardless of how you meant it, the comment comes off with strong Lucille Bluth vibes.

So happy for you that you have the things that make that easy. Good climate, no pests or deer or rabbits or crows, or robins or other birds, considerate neighbours, access to water for irrigation all year long, and apparently no issues with weeds eh? And lots of access to cheap, safe compost too huh? Oh and the tools (and storage!) to spread compost, aerate soil, weed (wait you dont get weeds!), and manage things like planter beds or poles or netting or trellises or tomatoes cages? And you grow enough that you meaningfully cut down on groceries huh? What a lucky duck.

Growing food is incredibly easy

By comrade in crisis, I grew up with a family and extended family putting blood sweat and tears into food gardens every summer my whole life. They managed to grow enough to supplement everyone’s diets most years. But they still needed groceries. And some years things went to shit when weather or pests or something else went wrong. And it was never, ever easy. So, I’m sorry. I call bullshit.

Gotta love all the “just grow your own!” comments and the lack of awareness about how analogous it is to “just pull yourself up by your bootstraps!”

Or maybe not a lack of awareness, who knows what trolls, bots and influences lurk on lemmy, pushing conservative victim blame. Worked on reddit for plastic straws and personal carbon footprints.

Always have.

I shall ascend my funeral pile triumphantly and exult in the agony of the torturing flames.

Or maybe he is actually Ozymandias all along, giving the world a villian to rally around.

Too hard. Best offer is more resource extraction, ologopolies and housing bubbles. Final offer.

Bold of anyone in this day and age thinking they would be anything but a peasant in Rome

How many JDs did you need to get in a Costco sized education?

Certainly he will be the matter they use to unify the Republicans and move on from the Epstein Files

Or, say, housing?

Well, also protection from prosecution.

"If this were the [Federal Aviation Administration] and we were having this many mistakes, we would go back and look at why has this happened.”

Riiiiiiigght

Welcome to America where the rules are is made up and the truth doesn’t don’t matter.

Still time for him to grab an Angstbrosche and make his membership in the Republican party official.

Maybe the polling companies have realised that in the post-truth world, narrative is where the money’s at? If it works for Mainstreet and the Conservatives, who cares anymore? Find a base to play to, tell em what they want to hear, make that money.

If someone doesn’t even start a position, can we still measure their tenure in Mooches?

Which is why the people that benefit from the current situation are huge proponents of supply, of course. Just like reducing your personal carbon footprint and pulling yourself up with your bootstraps. Suggest an unrealistic solution, real culprits get a complete pass.
