    Really? I never would have thought Captain Planet would take up that much space on a hard drive. Are you storing fucking Captain Planet as a 4k video? It was a cartoon from the early 90s. I think 480p would be more than enough! Sure there were 114 episodes, but they weren’t that long. How much space can the complete Captain Planet really take up?








  • The meme is just that it’s a book with a funny-sounding title. Like, “yup, it’s wood!”

    If you want to take a look at the book itself, you can probably find it at a local library, or a digital copy can be found here:

    But it’s really what’s right on the tin. When just given a peace of lumber, it can often be very difficult to identify a specific species. You’re not going to pay for DNA testing for most scenarios where you need to identify lumber. So you have to learn in detail about wood anatomy, using features that can be identified with nothing more elaborate than a hand magnifier. And if you know enough about wood anatomy, you can determine the species with high degree of accuracy. That’s what this book is meant to help you do. Ideally you would be able to be handed a board, a light, and a magnifying lens, and be able to estimate the species. I actually had to do this on some assignments and exams.

    “Flight risk criminals and terrorists had their accounts frozen!!!”

    Yes, those criminals, for example, LGBT people who conservatives believe are pornographic simply for existing. God forbid LGBT artists want to have a way of earning a living. Crypto is relied on by a lot of marginalized groups. It’s used by artists who make perfectly legal art, but whose content conservatives object to. Crypto is used by many queer content creators as they face being cut off from payment processing systems, as again, conservatives consider queer people pornographic simply for existing. Crypto is used by sex workers, often people with few other employment options. Oh, and crypto is used by trans people to get access to healthcare that is quickly being criminalized.

    How insane do you have to be, in 2025 Trump’s America, to fall back on the idea that anything criminal is bad. Republicans are trying to criminalize the existence of entire swathes of the population. And those people face being cut off from the banking system entirely, if folks like you, who blindly consider legality=morality, have their way.
