The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.

The pineapple is native to South America, where it has been cultivated for many centuries. The introduction of the pineapple plant to Europe in the 17th century made it a significant cultural icon of luxury. Since the 1820s, pineapple has been commercially grown in greenhouses and many tropical plantations. The fruit, particularly its juice, has diverse uses in cuisines and desserts.

Pineapples grow as a small shrub; the individual flowers of the unpollinated plant fuse to form a multiple fruit. The plant normally propagates from the offset produced at the top of the fruit or from a side shoot, and typically matures within a year.

Cyberpunk 2077 apology form

I thought it was tacky that the people there said "flatlined" instead of "killed", but then I lived to see "unalived" become common slang less than a decade later

"As a leftist, those pro-LGBTQ+ housing is a human right anti cop ultra leftists are worse than the literal nazis who want nothing but genocide for all minorities." smug-explain

This just REEKS of REDDIT. I bet this so called leftist would change up real quick when it comes to neopronouns, police, prison, black or brown people, etc.

Seriously considering saving up like $850 to meet with this specialist who seems like my best chance of getting help or finding a cause for these health problems I've had for the past 8 years

Pros: he is rated really well by a local magazine, on his website it says he helps with complicated health issues, I could do a consultation that I think is free, it might actually help and I could go into remission or maybe there's even a cure

Cons: it'll cost a minimum of $850 just for seeing him and getting the basic labs and will be even more if I need more testing or get prescribed some medication, he might not be able to help me/could be scamming desperate people like me, there might be a name for what I have and no treatment which would kinda ruin my will to live

I hate being ill angery

Lmao Leroy jenkins caught a temp ban after all that. Didn't need to keep angryposting but did and ended up (accidentally, I assume) misgendering and was already on thin ice so they (the mods. I'm not misgendering anyone) got him.

I appreciate the warm reception of getting to this place. I'm still undoing the damage reddit and twitter did to me where I have to verbally joust everyone because everyone is brain fried and perpetually looking to dunk on you with some horatio caine one-liner for internet points.

Hexbear party line on giving 2 weeks notice? Just accepted a job offer and they wanna know a start date. Kinda wanna just have friday be my last day and chill for a week or so before my new job.

My little brother has always said "Think about giving a two weeks notice, because employers don't give you two weeks notice before you're fired and told to pack your shit."

I dunno ur situation just something ive always thought about

Depends on the job, but I’ve always had jobs where someone I like would have a hard time if I left with no notice. I always did above my notice requirements to help make their lives easier.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

Optional. If you already have another job and dont need a reference then do what you want. You dont owe em, they wouldmt give you notice if you were being fired or laid off

[–] scrungus@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago

If you think you'll ever need it as a reference I'd stick it out, unless it's a safety issue or it's especially toxic as a work place. Other than that, fuck em. You might be able to get the new job to delay your start a day or two so you can get that sweet time off in between.

Either way, congrats on the new job!

One missed opportunity of Woke 1 was that we should have fucking obliterated those "No Added MSG" labels on food products. Why are those still there. Is there anyone under 60 that still thinks MSG is bad for you. Fucking racist shit pisses me off

[–] Enjoyer_of_Games@hexbear.net 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It's out of control, even my phone has a NO MSG label.

little bit of criticism of Dolly

Parton never made a public statement or took a political stance regarding the conflict in Gaza during her lifetime.

she occasionally voiced broad calls for peace or expressed support during specific overseas eventsβ€”such as dedicating a performance to people affected in Ukraine in 2022

she also made 5to9 a pro hustle-culture followup to 9to5

Had an incredible dream last night where my dad read my thesis and disawowed me for being a dirty Marxist. There was a lot of commentary in the dream that I've heard all my life around here on all the lib reasons why communism just doesn't work.

In the dream I ended up getting very angry at him and gave this huge lecture on materialism as a philosophy and a science and how it's far better at explaining the world than any of the lib shit he has been spouting all his life.

I miss the days when I would get a new drug dealer and find out they had a pet. It always felt easier on my conscience to know that at least some of my money was going towards keeping some truly wonderful dogs, cats, and reptiles alive.

It annoys me to no end how the same people who feign concern over a β€œmale loneliness epidemic” are probably the same people who are the reason many men actually are lonely.

You think they’re ever nice to men that aren’t significantly manly enough? Fuck no, they’re bullied away from society and no one gives a shit.

I'm having a somewhat urgent outpatient surgery tomorrow which I've been waiting longer than I should have to get (thanks Amerikkkan "healthcare" "system") and my absolute goblin of a cat unzipped my backpack and ate a fiber bar out of it last night, which is very on-brand for him. He has unsurprisingly been shitting his brains out today and generally not feeling great. Thankfully there was nothing poisonous in there and it's a wait-and-watch situation, but talk about the worst timing imaginable. Hope he gets it out of his system tonight because I really don't want to have an emergency vet visit on top of cleaning up a doodoo disaster with several holes punched in my abdomen.

Got reminded of Daryl Davis again, and just went through the comment section of his interview with Joe Rogan and it’s still full of crackers whining that non-whites are bad, and if not that, hogs jacking themselves off on how this is the only way to oppose them.

You know, I have NEVER gotten the Daryl Davis treatment from a nazi. They’ve never said β€œyes lefty, you’re soooo amazing. I will just sit here and take it, but I hope one day you see things my way and become a genocidal megalomaniac like me!”

Decided to watch a livestream to see what all the fuss is about. The streamer started off by saying "hows everyone doing?" and I had to immediately turn it off. I'm sorry, I'm just not ready for that level of parasociality.

Reading about some bloodthirsty American pig

"a firearms instructor, an active shooter instructor...a field intelligence officer, and...a member of the SWAT team, the St. Paul Special Response Team"

You're saying he was an instructor of active shooters? checks out

Made my missile command game a little bit easier.

There's a shockwave that goes to double the explosion radius and kills enemy missiles, but NOT your own buildings/mountains. There's also a score bonus for getting a direct hit! Check it out on my website: pdef.dunaway.io

Is there any analysis connecting the Ukraine war to the Iran war? like Ukraine (and the destruction of the nordstream pipeline) being part of the plan to attack Iran.
