they should order them in popularity, so we know which one to chop down next. in all srsness tho, why the vitriol over a tree no longer being there? i thought enviromentalists were meant to be virtuous?

Re:Don't fear getting fired if you have ADHD on Friday April 25, 2025 @10:35AM (#43794038)
Do you mean you actually work hard or just avoid getting caught being lazy? If you can work hard, I dont think you had an inability to do it in the first place

"Such poets, being “ignorant of what is right and legitimate in the realm of the Muses,” rebelled against the traditional conventions of music and poetry."

this is the much fabled Plato? The genius? The big brain who thought there was a "right and legitimate" taste in music? Glad to see this fluff has been preserved for millenia

humans have eaten shellfish for millions of years, so whats the practical benefit of lessening the variety of foods you intake? The original reasons for these prohibitions were not scientific in the slightest - its all subjective. dont forget they literally believe themselves to be god "chosen people", not my words, it definitely is an us and them thing
