That is a very pleasant to look at plant, I'm noticing that I have been conditioned to wonder what it's pollinator is from watching so many videos from that Crime Pays But Botonny Doesn't youtube channel.
i noticed a few cute tiny native wasps hanging around the flowers prior to the tragedy, so i think they may be the pollinators

the scene in the matrix where neo sees everything as code, but its me looking at a plastic bag holding plastic coats sealed in plastic bags leaning against a wall with some kind of plastic paint on plastic fiber carpeting underneath light paneling made of plastic. the room also has a desk made of plastic with multiple plastic electronic devices on it

so I’m leading the charge to return our small remote community’s 40 year-old co-op back to its founding values after years of them steering toward commodity grocery store. the new GM gave his report with the most smug backhand because I also host our community’s farmers market and the drop in produce sales he’s attributing to our runaway success as their supply chain collapsed and folks started relying more on local ag, but packaged food sales, supplements, and the deli are all up, so plastic preserved food is booming

still can’t get avocados or bananas. I’m just about ready to give up on putting in the effort to save it, because 95% of their whole infrastructure is geared toward supply chain servicing. I give a poo poo about my neighbors and the work conditions, so imma stick it out, but they’re totally choosing the chuddiest construction company to give a million dollars to to expand to a new location and they have fuckin’ nothing that’s gonna make it resilient against the types of shortages we saw/are seeing

sucks to watch a community pillar succumb to the wackness

A selection of popular fast food items sampled in this study contain detectable levels of replacement plasticizers and concerning ortho-phthalates. In addition, food handling gloves contain replacement plasticizers, which may be a source of food contamination. These results, if confirmed, may inform individual and regulatory exposure reduction strategies.

Gloves for food prep are so dumb anyway. Just wash your loving hands! What the hell is wrong with us? Why are we suddenly afraid of another humans skin touching our food?

I'm so loving tired of people at work having kids and we have to pretend to be insanely happy for them instead of just screaming

A couple months ago at work we had morning tea for a woman going on maternity leave, and for some reason all the boomers started talking about a news report they saw about those weird robot dogs that were being equipped with guns and how the future was looking really grim. It came out of nowhere and was pretty funny.

most service workers are viewed and treated as basically robots to be passive receptors to exist only on an as-necessary basis for consumptive transactions. and capitalism facilitates, and benefits, from stripping out as much humanity as possible as part of the need to further Idealized Consumption culture

Most of the replies are just "welp we are hosed" but one guy claims these predictions don't include the effects of new sea ice (who knows) and another claimed that the baseline (1981 to 2010) is garbage and that in his opinion 1950 to 1980 would be much better and look much less catastrophic. Of course I wonder what it would look like compared to the preindustrial baseline.

In any case, is there any easy way we could generate a gif of the actual temperatures and compare it to these predictions in a week, since it goes out to Nov 4? Hell, it looks like the predictions were made around the 19th and we can already compare the first half.
