Im gonna assume that’s a “No.” In answer to whether or not you’ve had any sort of reading comprehension classes. That’s okay. The only way you can go now is to improve. Good luck buddy.

KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement English45·2 days agoA lawn? Absolutely not. It’s a resource sink for no other reason that vanity. If they weren’t going to put in something useful, like clover or any actual productive plant life, then I’d rather see it capped off and no longer watered. Golf courses too for that matter. Pave them over entirely and build dense urban housing instead on a national scale.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement English619·2 days agoSo does a fucking lawn. Actually, imo, lawns are worse. It’s a perfect representation of the toxicity of the “American dream”. It’s an unnatural landscape that’s inhospitable to life, sort of like the concrete, costs resources to maintain, unlike the concrete, but it gets some weird psychological pass because it’s green. It’s shit either way.
Talking about “he ripped out the rose garden” is just more sensationalism horseshit when the roses are right there, just fuckin dandy. He tore out a lawn that was equally as shit.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement English54·2 days agoI mean i would’ve preferred clover instead but the concrete is precisely as useful to bugs as that grass was.
Audible recently recommended the complete Chronicles of Narnia as a scifi series and I was personally offended. There is absolutely no place for Christianity in space besides the God emperor of mankind (dune or 40k). Absolutely disgraceful.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The White House Rose Garden was replaced by pavement English518·2 days agoAm I missing something here? It looks like the roses are still there and he just paved over the big useless lawn.
Anyone else see this? Those rose bushes are still clearly there on the right side of the image. Ifball were talking about is the replacement of some shit grass anyways, who gives a fuck?

KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Good morning, please have a thought you probably never had before.English11·3 days agoSorry it’s actually a lasagna.
There are 3 foods. There is soup. There is salad. And then there is lasagna. That’s it.
From when we discovered the ozone hole to banning hairspray and shit was about 10 years.
Also, I didn’t say we decided the pacific trash hole was bad. I said we decided it would kill all the life in the ocean, and that was hilariously wrong.
Have you taken a reading comprehension course in the last 10 or 15 years?
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL there is a law called Marchetti's Constant. Humans only tolerate commutes of less than ~1 hour. Housing outside that limit will fail.English3·5 days agoYou just have to get through during off hours. I worked with a guy in livermore who came up and around from turlock every day. If he left at 430, he would get in to work around 530. But if he left at 5, it would be 630 minimum, typically more like 7 or 730. I can’t imagine if he tried to get through during actual peak traffic. Homie would almost always leave early on Fridays and we didn’t blame him because it’d take him 3 hours to get home otherwise.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Lindsay Lohan explained why she moved to Dubai39·5 days agoIdk if I can agree. Anyone who hangs out with Amy schumer and nick swardson has to be pretty shit, right? Those two are the poster children for smarmy white affluenza.
Idk man remember when that ozone hole was supposed to kill us all but we started fixing it in like 10 years? How about when we decided plastic would choke the oceans to death only to find that microbes are busily learning how to break down all those man made forever polymers? Member those? Meeeember?
Have you considered that humanity does not actually have enough data to know what is and is not a “safe climate zone”?
How long, in years, did the climate take to “recover” from siberian traps eruptions? How about the dinosaur killing asteroid/deccan traps episode? What was more damaging to the environment, particulate in the air or the release of volcanic gasses?
The planet has been through multiple unimaginable apocalypses. It will survive humanity just fine. And if it doesn’t? Im sure something will evolve to take our place. Terraforming is well beyond our means as a species, intentional or not.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.workstoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•don't trust cloud services with creative workEnglish11·7 days agoI just realized the other day that one of the updates on my Chromebook automatically installed something called “NotebookLM” on my app bar. Never asked for it. Never even looked at apps on my Chromebook before. But it’s there now, and it super secret bloodswap pinky swares it won’t steal my ideas or writing. What an odd thing to say on first open.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto Australia@aussie.zone•Wood heater pollution is a silent killer. Here's where the smoke is worstEnglish3·8 days agoJust got rid of my fuel sipping crossover and went full electric and boy is it nice. A week so far and I just passed 69% (nice). Im going to be really pleased if I can get two weeks out of one charge. And the price to recharge? Less than $20 usd. About half of my weekly 10 gallons of 81 unleaded.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto science@lemmy.world•NASA says 20% of workforce to depart space agencyEnglish43·10 days agoHad a job interview at their Ames facility back in December. It was an interesting opportunity, and it required a LOT of sacrifices in terms of commute and workload, but I could’ve made it work. Then they tried to pull the “Could we interest you in a contractor position?” switcheroo at the end of the hiring process and I noped the fuck out. The next week, Trump announced he was cutting all contractor jobs and freezing new hires for the agency.
Lmfaoooo
Guess the burnout is real. I couldn’t believe how much of a dump the place was honestly. Shit is being held together with duct tape, zip ties, and free veteran labor.
KingGimpicus@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•China and Africa are destroying the DeBeers diamond cartel11·10 days agoNatural diamonds are quite shit for industrial use. Industry likes uniformity, and natural diamonds have irregularities and flaws that do not benefit them in comparison to synthetic diamonds.

Who says there aren’t? They’re just deep under the surface, haunting through the rock that once made up their entire world.
