Can you explain how to do this on Voyager? Can’t seem to figure it out.

It has to be sarcasm, it’s way too funny.

It’s clearly because of women who dress immodestly. The boobquake has finally arrived.

I think your primary motivation is violence, not progress. I don’t need to be a shill to recognize that.

History is replete with examples of individuals who believed they could create a utopia by killing enough people. Of them, you’re not the most enlightened, just the latest.

I wish there were fewer hurdles to that as well. Where I live, we only recently lifted a ban on collecting rainwater, though we’re still severely limited. That the water is “spoken for” by downstream desert alfalfa farms makes it even harder to swallow.

Decentralizing agriculture to local gardens is part of how we solve this mess. Actively promoting replacement of ornamental monoculture lawns with native, low-water, pollinator-friendly plants would also be a positive step. Golf courses, big ag, corporate and individual property owners… there’s a long list of entities that need to reevaluate their relationship with and responsibility to the land they ostensibly maintain.

Gooseberries grow like crazy in Colorado, every other garden around here has at least one bush. Never seen them at a grocer though.

Food security isn’t an issue of production but rather distribution

Having done work on the distributor side of food security, this is absolutely correct. I wish this was common knowledge.

Did you read the article?

I’m left wondering if you read it. It doesn’t make the assertion you do:

no physical means of trapping insects is going to only target the problem insects

This seems self-evident, but I have to ask why you didn’t cite a source that backs that up before slapping me with an “Um.No kidding.”

Maybe your communication skills are less developed than you realize?

Thrips aren’t beneficial.

“Littoral” is effectively equivalent to “nearshore”. Makes sense as written.

Nice job on the migration! Excited for the update!

Sigh… unzips

I don’t believe you’re engaging in good faith, sorry.

That’s a fair question. I think I didn’t like being accused of doing nothing in 2020. I’m sorry for jumping down your throat, that was over the top.

Can we meet in the middle? I would appreciate an apology for insinuating I’m a party loyalist.

I never said that and I haven’t advocated voting blue at any point here.

You continue to misrepresent my position. Seriously and sincerely go fuck yourself.

Using the outcomes of the primaries to illustrate a point about voter engagement is not the same thing as “defending the 2020 primaries.” I really want to give you the benefit of the doubt, but you can’t even understand my position.

I won’t be goaded into defending candidates, I’m just calling you out for directly supporting voter apathy in this comment chain. By doing so, you do the work of those who would oppress you even further.

I’m not trying to convince you to vote for or against anyone. I don’t care if you vote third party, I sometimes do that too. At least they help elevate calls for reforming our voting system.

You have constructed an idea of a person that does not fit what I represent. You are assigning attributes to me that aren’t accurate or based on what I’ve stated.

You are speaking in defense of someone who speaks in support of voter apathy. That’s the only thing you’ve done that merits a response.

It’s cute you think I wasn’t engaging in that, but go off.

To your point regarding the 2020 primaries, take a look at how they went in States that have the highest levels of voter engagement. It might shock you to learn that when more people vote, we see better outcomes.

Keep poo-pooing the vote. If you won’t do the bare fucking minimum, you don’t deserve a government that represents you. End of story.
