Civilization was built by people like this, and there is a stunning lack of gratitude in our culture for their work.
In this specific case, at least half of the apple varieties in Brown’s collection were considered “lost” until he personally tracked them down and saved them.
He literally went on quests where he did things like, tracking a lost variety back to a stump of a long-ago-cut-down tree near an abandoned homestead in remote Appalachia, took cuttings from the green shoots coming out of the stump, brought them back and planted them.
Absolute legend.
@2ndgenJai@Happiness95Love@ontheflipsiide lmao and islamically, men also have punishment for not covering what God asked them to. from their bellybutton to bellow their knees
Good. The rent seeking will stop.
They’ve already done this to caviar, diamonds, electronics, medicine and AI.
I can’t wait for cheap GPUs. Oh, and life extension technology. Can’t have the elites hoarding that.
Everything shall be affordable to the masses. Everything.
They don't want people to figure out that if they just get off their arse they can fix their own community in 2 weeks. They want you to keep paying them taxes so they can fix your community for you. In 3 years. Maybe. Probably not.
The constant news about the incremental steps turns into background noise, accompanied by a litany of pundits justifying them as being super important or not that bad, and suddenly you've been stripped of your rights, no matter how unpopular the move is democratically.
That way there isn't a clear date for a big counterprotest or strike. It leaves plausible deniability, some people don't see the long term plan of the ruling class, so they don't mobilize early. No countermovement forms.
الزواج في حد ذاته مو إنجاز..
لكن الارتباط برجل صالح، وتكوين أُسرة صحيّة، وإنتاج أطفال أسوياء، وإقامة منزل دافئ جميل، والمحافظة بعد ذلك على سفينة الأُسرة من الغرق رغم هبّات التحديّات العاصفة، هذه كلها إنجازات ونص.
لو تستوعبون المجهود الذي تبذله الأُم كي تنشىء طفل واحد سليم وطبيعي، فضلاً عن طفل ذكي ومتفوّق في دراسته، فضلاً عن طفلين وعن ثلاثة وعن خمسة! لأدركتم أن الأم التي ربّت أطباء ومهندسين وطيّارين، بل وحتى موظفين عاديين أخيار أسوياء - أنجزت أيّما إنجاز.
تخيّلي تقضين شبابك وكهولتك في إنجاز مُهمّة صعبة، وعندما تتميّنها على أكمل وجه وتسرّك النتيجة، تأتيك غِرّة كهذه، تقول "ياسلام على الإنجاز"!
توقّفوا عن التقليل من إنجازات غيركم بهدف الشعور بالرضا عن أنفسكم.
نعم، الزواج الناجح إنجاز، والأمومة مُهمّة صعبة، إما أن تنجحي فيها وتُخرجي لنا أشخاصاً أسوياء، وسيكون إنجازك هذا من أهم إنجازات حياتك،
أو تفشلي فيها، وتُخرجي للعالم أكواماً من العُقَد.

calling random woman hoes/ran through because of physique tabarujj doesn’t help your akhira, you just record yourself with 1 of the 7 grave sins (Al-Mubiqaat)
Whenever you see a statement on here claiming something as an ideal scenario, always add the phrase ‘for me’ at the end. That’s what they mean
“Marrying my cousin is the safest option for me”, and that stems from the self awareness of knowing they don’t have the minerals to draw a woman in, without it being placed in front of them.
It is essentially waving a white flag, and saying “I give up on the concept of being impressive to women, just give me my cousin”
That’s why in the replies there’s zero rebuttals provided to the responses that outline the potential birth defects you’d burden your children with, and that’s also why he stated ‘not elaborating’
@mzs047@mohqasol@Ephebxphile they exploit both ya genius. most times Ive seen a woman do ths is when a man pushes her to & tells her ur dad is unreasonable, we dont need his permission. Ive had men suggest this to me before & it was pretty repulsive to say the least. but ofc keeppretending women js wanna fck
Your AirPods will fall inside airplane seat cracks and refuse to come out.
Your Uber driver will confidently say “I know shortcut” and then get lost for 47 minutes.
Your hotel keycard will stop working exactly when you finally reach your room exhausted.
The only available airport food will be one suspicious sandwich and sparkling water.
Your charger will start working only when held at a 37-degree angle with intense prayer.
And every time you finally sit down comfortably, somebody will say, “sorry that seat is taken.”

“we can desalinate water and drink that!” but why do WE have to? why can’t the golf courses and data centers use desalinated water?? humans get priority status.
