OP is definitely wrong about rich people not dating middle class people or poor people, etc. - rich people are sorta immune to giving a shit, they are insulated. Aristocrats may have been forced to marry strategically rather than for love, but that’s not really about being rich per se.

Maybe some middle-upper-class people try to emulate aristocratic norms about not mingling that way, tbh I feel like the middle class in general is all about proving they aren’t poor, it’s ironically very typical of poor culture to work so hard to not seem poor - rich people aren’t like that and even try to intentionally blend in around others and not show their wealth.

when you really think about it, since there are really so few rich people, you start to realize you don’t personally know any rich people, and you may have never even met a rich person, and then you realize everything in your life is for poor (i.e. not-rich) people

EDIT:

• roads
• grocery stores
• movie theaters
• gas stations
• libraries
• hospitals
• water treatment facilities
• sports stadiums

everything is built by us and used by us - rich people have their own doctors, live on their own compounds, hire their own chefs, and transport themselves mostly by private jets, etc. - they don’t wait in line for TSA, they don’t cook their own meals, they don’t drive places, etc.

on the flip side, you also start to realize how wealth and power has influenced the creation of the society you live in, like how US colonial food culture was influenced by major agricultural trusts, how drinking at bars became one of the only “third places”, or how US cities were destroyed by parking requirements under the influence of the auto industry

I find smaller dogs are much less chill, but why adopt a dog in the first place?

the content of the proposed emails were never fully disclosed 😏 much is left to the imagination, is allimsayin

much luck! I wish I was able to help more, but I don’t use Mastodon and I’m not too familiar with this issue unfortunately 😞

could be however you’re making the posts is configured to default to NSFW? 🤷‍♀️ I don’t know what platform you’re using, but based on the tags I assume Mastodon?

did you mean to mark this post as NSFW?

why do anti-abortion women get abortions?

I think this just shows the way socially ingrained attitudes are not total, i.e. there is lots of room for variation and breaks - exceptions exist even to people thinking in terms of stereotypes or generalized patterns.

this is so ironic to say about The Shield, one of the rare TV shows known for portraying cops as corrupt pieces of shit

huh, I wonder how the fertilizer is typically applied - in my limited knowledge, an application of fertilizer would normally be applied to plants that are growing and need the boost; fertilizer applied to young seedlings can burn them and be harmful, and fertilizer applied to soil without any plants will just wash away with the rain and provide no benefit.

That said, I could imagine some farming systems would lay down solid forms of fertilizer like manure before planting crops, but I’m not sure that would apply to the kinds of fertilizer shortages being talked about.

OK, so the headline is just wrong - the farmers are clear about when peak demand for fertilizer is - in June, not March:

Baldev Singh, a 55-year-old rice farmer in Punjab, India, says smallholders — the bulk of the country’s farmers — may not survive if the government cannot subsidize fertilizers when demand peaks in June.

Some countries are already facing critical shortages, according to Raj Patel, a food systems economist at the University of Texas. For example, Ethiopia gets over 90% of its nitrogen fertilizer from the Gulf through Djibouti, a supply route that was strained even before the war began in February.

“The planting season is now,” Patel said. “The fertilizer isn’t there.”

“Our crops out in the field need nitrogen now — the sooner the better — so they can get off to a good start, helping them establish themselves and build up reserves for the harvest later this summer,” said Dirk Peters, an agricultural engineer who runs a farm outside Berlin.

Fertilizers are generally applied just before or at planting, so crops miss key early growth stages and yields can fall when deliveries are delayed, even if supplies improve later.

It looks like the article is clear that fertilizer is applied before and at planting - which … seems questionable in terms of nitrogen fertilizers, but I’m sure they know far better than me (maybe they have a mechanism to slow-release the nitrogen into the soil or something).

Either way, it’s clear there will be a reduction in how much food output there is.

For Mastodon: https://joinmastodon.org/

Nextcloud is included because it’s part of the fediverse: https://nextcloud.com/blog/federation-a-foundational-concept-for-digital-sovereignty/

Mastodon is fairly popular and well supported if you like Twitter-like micro-blogging. Some Lemmy instances actually federate with Mastodon instances, so you can post to Lemmy communities from Mastodon, and vice versa.

I do have a peertube account I use to host videos sometimes, but otherwise I don’t personally have any recommendations beyond thinking Mastodon is a relatively mature and popular platform.

have you tried searching for your answer?

I found this post, for example: https://lemmyverse.link/feddit.uk/post/280651

oh, you mean what are some good federated apps? like peertube instead of youtube, etc.?

not sure she’s hidden anymore, but @violet08@lemmy.world

If someone claimed to be a solarpunk but said said they loved Nazi Germany, would you think there was some kind of inconsistency or hypocrisy there?

Solarpunk is politically opinionated, it’s not agnostic or neutral about its political and ethical positions (about climate, about colonialism, about capitalism, etc.) - solarpunk is very critical of the United States because of this.

oh yikes; you might be on the wrong instance there, too - I don’t think loving America is consistent with being solarpunk, fyi

until visible mold and / or bad smell

depends on whether it’s a store-bought with preservatives or something I made at home - fresh stuff lasts maybe a 1 - 2 months max, store-bought could maybe last 3 months at most?

I find pizza sauce and other red sauces like that don’t tend to last like 4 - 6 months, they tend to get mold growing on the top. Even my tomato paste gets mold, so I like to put a little vinegar on the top (like you would add lime juice to guacamole to prevent it from oxidizing and browning), and that usually makes it last much longer / prevents mold. (Yay for acetic acid!)

EDIT: the numbers of months are low-quality guesses, take them with a grain of salt

fair enough, I’ll just delete the suggestion 😅

you can always post in a larger community and then x-post to a dead community, too! (or vice versa)
