Seleni

I mean, he’s a Nazi presiding over a Nazi government doing Nazi things.

He isn’t as bad as Hitler yet; but Hitler wasn’t as bad as Hitler in the first part of his reign either.

Depends on who you talk to. Seems the more rabid members of fuckcars want to ban cars completely, and jail anyone who resists lol

Japanese Holly actually gets small purple-black berries (assuming a male nearby). Still good for birds though.

The peashrub can set a sort of tan fruit; but after flowering what people usually enjoy is the weeping form, pruning it to be more open to show that off (it’ll end up looking sort of like a snuffleupagus if you don’t prune). ‘Walker’ is a variety with more delicate foliage so it shows the weeping habit better.

Oooh you should post this in abandonedporn too

I mean, if you want color, scent, and a long bloom time, you could go with a rebooming rose, like Scentimental or one of the Knock Out types. Most good rebloomers aren’t quite as tall as you were hoping for, although sometimes you can find them grown as standards.

There’s also lilacs, which even though you’d get only a short bloom, you could prune to whatever look you wanted.

If you want to just do a green dramatic accent, Ilex ‘Sky Pencil’ fits every other one of your requirements.

Probably the best tree that roughly fits what you want is Caragana arborescens ‘Pendula’. Not a rebloomer, but pretty flowers, a nice weeping habit, and a pretty yellow fall color do give it year-round interest.

Belgium and Spain would like a word.

Seriously, everyone forgets about what Belgium did in the Congo. They really went for quality over quantity with the atrocities there.

I thought we were doing Zombie Mitch right now?

Point of order: I said ‘little shit’, not ‘bitch’

acts like a little shit

demands others be better when they ask them to not be a little shit

Maybe try leading by example?

Yes, we know that. The hypothetical here is that the animal is fully aware and fully consents to being killed and eaten. Obviously this is not a thing in the real world; it’s just a thought experiment.

I fear though that leaving behind religion just means people will find other things to religiously latch onto. Look at techbros with technology, cults who kiss the feet of the regular vanilla human who leads them, analysts with market systems.

The need to believe in something bigger and more powerful than us that can save and guide us seems to be built into a lot of humans on a fundamental level, sadly.

Maybe people who can look past the censorship? Or people who understand that the people doing the censoring will get in trouble on certain types of social media if they don’t?
