Weird, all their responses just say Removed for me, like every single comment they've ever made. Can you be banned by one instance and not others or something?

Dawg they are having an existential crisis. A bunch of us are, because just about every thread on the big communities on here remind us of how shit things are every day. I wouldn't rather be numb to it, and I'm not suggesting other people to be numb to it. I'm saying it's funny that someone wrote a comment about how much this site reminds them of all the shit going on, then someone replies directly to them with a list of more shit.

Please don't get yourself into the mindset that because everything is shit, we all have to feel like shit all the time too.

Landlords don't do that. Until they do, they're parasites.

Also, I can't tell if you've realized by now, but everything I've been describing as ways to make landlording "fair" is just a roundabout description of ownership.

Welp, we'll never know now. Looks like they nuked their account

Vegetable breeders for the veggies that you get in a normal grocery store don't typically select for tastiness/flavor, they select for things that can maximize profits - hardiness, shipability, production, etc.

You're taking the proposed solution to an extreme end of the spectrum in an effort to argue against it.

We don't need all ~7 billion of us to become self sufficient farmers. We don't even need 1 billion of us to become farmers.

What we need in the immediate short term is to encourage the adoption of better agricultural practices, such that the mega farms that currently support us can continue to support us, while minimizing their environmental* impact.

What we need in the medium term is to encourage people to create local food gardens in their communities, via education campaigns and subsidies. By no means does that mean every living being on the planet needs to take up a trowel and a hoe, but people should be encouraged to participate in the production of their own food.

What we need in the long term is to find solutions that turn those local food gardens into permanent, sustainable, long term solutions that can support entire communities. Vertical farming, indoor hydroponics, stuff like that. Which means publicly funded research and more subsidies.

There's steps to it. It's a process. It will take time, it won't happen overnight. No one is suggesting that "a city of a million people abandon all the work they do and collectively invade rural areas to set up farms they have no idea how to run". That's a strawman you've made up in your head.

How nice of you to conveniently list out all the current events worth having an existential crisis over, in a reply to a person having an existential crisis

This is a strong argument for bidets on public toilets

What I'm trying to convince you of is that there exists a non-zero positive value that is reasonable to charge someone as rent.

And I've already told you I don't agree. Paying a non-zero amount of rent is always parasitic.

1. I just thought it was funny that you claimed that you don't need to mix weed with fat, then immediately suggested a recipe mixing weed with fat

2. Trying to eat weed without mixing it with a fat would be not only unpleasant flavor-wise, it would be a huge waste of weed. The compounds in weed that get you high are much more bioavailable when they're in the presence of fats. So, loosely speaking, you kinda do need to mix it with fat if you're gonna eat it, unless you're okay with large amounts of wasted weed and money

It doesn't need to go into a lipid

And if you work a job where you have days off or have vacation time, you can organize a field trip for yourself. Hit up a museum, take a brewery tour, go for a hike, make your own field trip. It's one of the benefits of being an adult.
