it is but it’s also hitched to “crunchy” culture, which has some weird braindead threads running through it about body purity and “nature = good”.

the most real part of this is that trans dudes and nb people aren’t even at the table

i’ve had far more close calls in the crosswalk than i’ve had jaywalking. the average driver is much much worse at driving than you all like to think you are.

slow down you fucking maniac.

right. seeding is a form of advertising.

there’s like 300 plants called “clover”, the kind in my yard will get to ass-height if i let it.

10% is massive too

adopting conservative positions and integrating them into the democratic platform has been SOP since Clinton

PBS Spacetime’s approach was a pair of videos titled “Why String Theory is True” and “Why String Theory is False” and between them that pretty much put it to bed for me. cool math, cool worldbuilding, call me when they make a testable prediction. until then it goes on the scrap pile with aether and phlogiston.

i say do watch the ones about string theory and mond so you can see why/how they’re wrong

“rationalism” is the choice religion of 87 IQ brainlets who think they’re geniuses for being able to read Voltaire.
