I guess it's time I filled this out.

I hesitate to call myself "old" because I don't feel old, so I'll use "vintage" as a descriptor

I come from a leftist and scientific view. I like logical arguments for conclusions, so right wingers fail to impress.

I'm a retired RN, a mostly retired professional gardener, and I have many hobbies. At the moment, I'm competing in ballroom dancing. Wish I could find a practice partner!

Interests include entomology, mycology, sustainability, etc, etc

deepmud,

@msquebanh a thousand voles cannot be wrong. They LOVE hostas.

deepmud,

@msquebanh very true.

deepmud,

@msquebanh especially true with fungi. They can be terrible stinkers to identify well.

deepmud,

@msquebanh sure is, sigh. I've had arguments with newbies. They don't seem to realize how deadly some mushrooms actually are.

I always advise having at least 3 good books, keying things out carefully, and NEVER consuming a mushroom that you have ANY doubts about.

Really disappointed in Biden today. Believe given climate crisis we should be doing everything we can, including buying inexpensive EVs from China, to hasten the transition from carbon based fuels.

That said, certainly international relations are complex and we don't have all the information or know all the constraints he is wrestling with.

In any case, would never threaten to withhold electoral support. These issues pale measured against a Trump win and the incumbent end of democracy.

deepmud,

@mastodonmigration thank you for not being a black and white thinker. I get disappointed in Biden from time to time, but in the end, he's a good guy and dump is not.

As I told Brian Tyler Cohen, I don't compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between an arsonist and a firefighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nO2nyimwCEM&list=PLOMpnzRkbFsi2yOiCKDN3fYgOzvrvfZm4&index=1

deepmud,

@marcelias that's a great analogy!

Almost forgot the hike back from my appointments. Fresh Eft! 😘

Tree with two anthropomorphic lines through trunk looking like heavy brow and mouth, but actually from when this area was a farm and they tacked fence to the trees. Bark just grew to encompass it as best it could.
Over twenty foot tall moss covered cliff with trees growing beside and out of it

deepmud,

@jerzone wow! Is that a newt? That bright coloration says "hey there, I'm deadly poisonous!".

deepmud,

@jerzone I lived in Ohio for decades. Spent lots of time in the woods, and I never saw one. 😶

I think my garden is turning into a nursery…

(This all started with just one basil plant a few months ago. At this rate I’ll be starting a homestead by next year … 🤣)

@killyourfm throwing plants away feels like murder.

“The Russian military is purchasing Starlink terminals from SpaceX, with supplies coming from the USA, Europe, UAE, Canada, Germany and Kazakhstan.

This was found out by specialists from the OSINT agency Molfar, who studied the assortment and spoke directly with terminal sellers”

Oooh, apparently it's The Rapture tomorrow (exact timezone undisclosed, natch 🙄 ). Only one more sleep and we'll wake up with no more evangelical whackjobs trying to impose biological slavery and endangering the lives of anyone who's not cis het white. 🥳 🥳 🎈 🎇

deepmud,

@fkamiah17 so far, no rapture. 😭. It seems that we're stuck with those assholes.

deepmud,

@fkamiah17 might be redeemed to some extent by watching them explain why they were wrong this time.

deepmud,

@br00t4c may I point out that Nelson Mandela spent a lot of time in prison. Can we make dump more like Nelson Mandela? Pleeeeeze!

Can't wait for him to start the Christ comparisons. It's inevitable. Will someone please tell the fat dolt that he won't survive being crucified? 🙄

@statisticsworld how about "other people". If you include wars and such, we eclipse even the deadly mosquito as killers.

COVID cautious people need to stop obsessing over acute deaths and start redirecting the conversation toward long-term sickness.

Deaths are too low to make people care. That's just the brutal truth.

"Disability" is like "blindness" and "deafness": it's so scary to people they shut down rather than engage when they're told they're at risk. This "shutting down b/c of fear" reaction in communication has been shown over and over in studies.

"Get Sick. Stay Sick." is more where we should be imho.

deepmud,

@johnzajac except that it is generally accepted science that getting infections and being exposed to germs is necessary for the development of a healthy immune system

It's not so simple as "they'll be healthier if they don't get infections".

deepmud,

@johnzajac yes, I can see how your lack of any understanding of medicine will trump my medical degree.

How about you read something about immunity? Where on earth do you get your information? The national enquirer?

Even if you could eliminate viruses, etc, which you cannot, it would not be a good thing.

deepmud,

@johnzajac what we have here, folks, is what happens when a guy has smoked a few too many bowls and decides he likes medical jargon so very well, why not make up entirely new strings of incomprehensible gobbledygook
