From the river to the sea!!!

Could be true. Science destroys religion…

For dictatorships yes it is. For the rest of us maybe not. Something needs to change in how we allow companies to manipulate us and all for profit. See Myanmar

On a separate note I think the social media giants are the ones we need to block. Specifically Facebook and any others that use algorithms to feed tailored posts to you. These companies shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind free speech protections. Their “speech” is processed and tailored to audiences for corporate profit.

Apps make money from you staying on their apps and interacting. It can be through comments, clicks or simple by pausing to look at posts. Adds are either fed to you or you become the material for adds through data scraping.

The longer you spend on the app the more revenue is generated. Therefore it f they can send you tailored media to engage you more you’ll stay. The longer you stay the more adds you see. However things aren’t as simple as they used to be. Some advertisers aren’t selling consumer products, they’re selling ideas, political parties and options. Their methods are becoming highly organized and they use a lot of psychology to do it. I believe it’s Stanford who offers a masters program for app design along these lines. Netflix did a documentary on it.

Algorithms seem to have no morals, they’ll feed you anything to keep you engaged or increase your engagement. There are class action lawsuits against Facebook over promoting genocide. All for clicks.

These companies shouldn’t be allowed to hide behind free speech protections. Their “speech” is processed and tailored to audiences for corporate profit. If it’s wrong to yell fire in a crowded theatre then how is it allowed to push hate speech using advanced psychological tools designed to sell these ideas to us.

That link lists the first foods for pollinators. Lots of things on that list which surprised me. We’re replanting our yard with native plants this year. If you like birds and wildlife this is the best way to attract them.

I also learned this year dandelions aren’t native to North America.

I agree with you on your two points.

I wonder if the gorilla would be crippling the lions limbs by sheer brute force. Throwing, yanking them out of sockets, twisting and squeezing them. The lion would fight like any house cat. And the gorilla would respond like we do when playing with our house cat. Gorillas would want to hurt and stop the attacks and that means huge amounts of force. Force they are capable of.

I heard their pollen doesn’t provide enough nutrients for the hive/queen. Specifically protein.

Here’s a link to neat bee article. Go pollinators!

Protein contains amino acids, and some of these amino acids are essential. That means the organism can not make them; they have to get them in food. Dandelion pollen is low in valine, isoleucine, leucine and arginine, essential amino acids for honey bees.

Dandelion is consider a poor quality source of protein for bees.

Thanks. I remember the name Como (governor) but little else about him

I read that a few times…is he saying Porsches break down a lot so ya the truck would win. But then I noticed the spellings. So ya a cyber truck would beat a Porche, they’re cheap knock offs of Porsches
