@otter_blues I've read that people moving into new subdivisions mostly plant trees that are smaller, less robust, but which will grow to maturity much faster than, say, an oak.
This is satire, but it gets to an important point. Most newer neighborhoods that look like the one in the top photo will never get around to looking like the neighborhood in the bottom image because most people do not plant large shade trees anymore. So what is it exactly that people expect from a house these days? Don't they want to look out their windows (or step outside) and engage with beauty or something of interest — whether it's mature oaks, or mountains or rolling hills in the distance, or a skyline or compelling urban vista or a block filled with historical homes? I don't think this figures into most homebuyers calculations. But it's figured into every one of mine. With the exception of my first home, every house I've owned has strongly connected to the natural world, even though I've lived mostly in metropolitan areas. I've made my homebuying decisions based primarily on this, because there's nothing that can quite pick up my mood like a glance through a window at beauty. There's a reason a friend of mine calls my house "the good mental health place." I can't imagine any circumstances under which I would ever willingly put myself in an environment as bleak as the one in that top image. Life is too short, and some things matter more than square footage.
Bottom image if a maintenance nightmare (leaves all over the yard, tree sap falling on cars, thousands of pests hiding in the trees) I much prefer the top image
@SBelleofAL @EndWokeness Google it. Ask an AI. Cooking equipment and wiring are the leading causes of church fires, which have been declining over the past two decades. Arson is responsible for about 15% of church fires today.
@ShadowyZephyr It makes no difference. I can't bring myself to look at them.
I'm almost certainly in a minority on this, but, for me at least, the thing about these people that's the biggest problem is that they're physically repellant. I find it difficult to even look at them. It's almost spiritually annihilating to do so. It's a reflexive physical disgust I've had since I first saw a photo of a transexual as a child. I can't bring myself to pretend to feel otherwise. It would be inauthentic and fatiguing for me to try to "cure" myself of this disgust. At any rate, I doubt any therapetic mechanism would work. I'm of course not advocating that anyone cultivate a physical disgust based upon a pre-existing ideological or moral position, and I'm not arguing that policies or laws should be crafted based on this disgust. In fact, I feel strongly that they shouldn't, at all. I'm just saying that my brain immediately identifies these people as being in violation of something fundamental and what I then instantly feel is an aversion to even looking at them.
@JeevesReginald1 There was a tweet circulating recently containing a video of Musk's trans kid. I felt the same visceral disgust.
"Normalize arrangements that are associated with less developed societies."
Normalize buying land with your siblings and closest friends and building a place where your families can grow together. Modern isolation isn't how people were meant to live. A few generations ago, extended families often lived just down the road from one another. Meals were
@CaveNewton The Arabs, I think, are better at influencing institutions (like universities and think tanks) than the government.
AIPAC is a powerful organization that lobbies elected representatives in the US Congress to support the interests of another nation, regardless of whether those interests align with American interests. It's hard not to dislike an organization that does this.
Most of the time a black guy starts out a sentence with "I'm a black man in America," you just know that whatever follows is going to be either ridiculous or self-serving, or both.
Jamaal Bowman is something else. "I'm a black man in America. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the n word directly or indirectly every day."
@FrancosGhost The purpose of art isn't to be "pretty and nice to look at," and hasn't been for over 150 years. Thanks for proving my point.
Jennings died of lung cancer.
I miss the days when the news smacked so fucking hard Peter Jennings had to fire up a heater just to deliver that shit.
