@IV_Musketeer My husband would divorce me.

Before the 1950s, clover was a STANDARD component of American lawns. Seed mixes included it on purpose. Then broadleaf herbicides were invented. They killed clover along with "weeds." So the chemical companies rebranded clover as a weed — to sell more herbicide. That's it. That's the whole story. Clover is not a weed. It's the future of your lawn. White Dutch clover (Trifolium repens): Self-fertilizing — fixes nitrogen from the air into the soil. No fertilizer needed. EVER. …and it feeds the grass around it for free. Drought-resistant — stays green when grass goes brown. Bee paradise — constant blooms from May to frost. Chokes out weeds — dense growth shades out weed seeds. No mowing needed (stays 4-6 inches) — or mow monthly. Soft underfoot — kids love it. Costs $5-10 to overseed 1,000 sq ft. How to add clover to your existing lawn: Overseed in spring or fall. Scatter seed (2 oz per 1,000 sq ft). Water lightly for 2 weeks. Done. Stop using broadleaf herbicides (they kill clover). Stop fertilizing (clover makes its own). Mow at 3-4 inches. The lawn industry told you clover was a weed so they could sell you chemicals. Take your lawn back.

@TheOutsider4547 @karol You remember to charge your phone?

@karol "I can remember to charge my phone but remembering to charge Airpods is a bridge too far."

How much longer are people going to pretend airpods are good? I just bought corded headphones. My experiment with cordless headphones, that I never remember to charge and that only work sometimes, is over.

@TheRealBamarep @jakemalasek And Qatar….

@jakemalasek Same day the rest of the faggots decided to start mispronouncing Kiev

When did we all agree to start calling it Turkiye?

@jakemalasek Yes! I was watching the US last night and I was like, who the hell is Türkiye?!!!

@GretchenPSmith You can live just as happily in your home as in a cabin by unplugging voluntarily from from news and social media 🤷

Anybody else thinking about living off grid out in the middle of nowhere growing your food, being self-sufficient?? 🙋🏼‍♀️Living out the remainder of your days in a cabin in the woods. In peace. No damn politics. I am so tired of both sides. It is never going to change. DC is too corrupted.

@cbcwatcher “Deemed” to have sold. What a pretty word to cover the fact that the person actually DID NOT sell his assets, and that the government took a huge chunk of unrealized, paper gains.

Canada does not impose a flat "exit fee" or wealth tax on departure When you cease Canadian tax residency, you're deemed to sell most assets at fair market value. Canada taxes unrealized capital gains (50% inclusion rate) on stocks, investments, private shares, etc. — often a massive bill after a lifetime of saving

@KRL_defi_ Financial stupidity. Then he will file bankruptcy and lots of businesses will have to eat the debt caused by his stupidity.

Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit. “I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.” “I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.” “My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.” “After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.” “The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.” “Then I bought them a $1 million house.” “So right away, about $5 million was gone.” “I bought my brothers cars.” “I bought myself a penthouse.” “I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.” “People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.” “That’s not how it works.” “You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.” “You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.” “That’s why so many guys go broke.”

@CoachDanGo @OliAshman How do you mitigate the side effects of GLP-1s? 15-40% muscle loss, including heart muscle. Permanent blindness. Permanent intestinal paralysis. And these are only the ones we currently know about 😔 Losing weight is completely doable without dangerous drugs.

@OliAshman If a drug can help someone who has struggled with weight issues, and things can be done to mitigate side effects, I'm all for it. The cost of obesity is worse than taking the drug.

It turns out being too fat is really bad for your health.

@SomInternetGuy @myhiddenvalue And if I have not ever been raped, it doesn’t affect me either, ergo, why should I be concerned? Because severely retarded and handicapped children are born from these unions. Once again, sacrificing children at the alter of Islam. Utterly despicable.

@myhiddenvalue I love the number of people who think this affects them. If you don't want to marry your first cousin... don't. If someone does, let them. It has nothing to do with you, and you can still go about your day knowing you're not hiding the hog in your cousin.

INCEST LEGALIZED. At the request of the Muslim lobby, Keir Starmer legalized in the United Kingdom marriages between first cousins An appeal from one of the deputies to Starmer: — Mr. Starmer, do you understand what you are doing? This carries catastrophic health risks for people, many of which can not be determined until the child is born. If this practice continues from generation to generation, the English people will disappear.” Starmer: — Yes. I have already stated my position.

@retired65432 @GadSaad There is no free. He paid taxes.

@GadSaad I bet you never complained while availing yourself of all the free benefits while in Canada. People like you make me sick, so good riddance.

I’m unable to deal with the theft of much of my accrued book royalties and other creative endeavours. I’ve worked night and day for decades; nearly all of my money was generated outside of Canada, yet the provincial and federal governments felt that they are owed more than 55% of my earnings even though my taxes on my professorial salary is already more than what most Canadians pay in taxes. It is a criminal exercise bereft of fairness or morality. I hold out hope that I will somehow be granted financial cosmic justice.

@blastmeme02 @WallStreetMav Oh, for fucks sake (since the GIFs apparently no longer say fuck 😡😡😡)

@WallStreetMav These are false flags by the Zionist party. They literally said we need to make the world Affraid of Muslims again on their national TV.

It’s amazingly consistent. When Muslims move into an area, churches that existed for centuries just mysteriously start catching on fire.

@newstart_2024 I would guess many of them have easy access via walking for fresh and local foods. We have mega stores full of ultra processed food and whole foods shipped from across the world, thus not fresh or local.

French women don’t get fat, and Mireille Guiliano says it’s simple: They eat for pleasure with all five senses. Slowly. No calorie counting, no low-fat nonsense. Real butter, chocolate, duck fat, in moderation. They rarely snack, skip soft drinks, and prefer walking over jogging. The numbers back it up: France has one of the lowest obesity rates in Europe at around 10% for adults. The US sits at ~41% for women. What’s your take, could this pleasure-first, slower approach to eating actually be healthier than constant restriction?

@Rach_IC Obviously, your situation is not the norm.

Yep, the $55k in student loans I took out for law school was for a useless degree, since the corrupt State Bar of Arizona won't let me back in to practice law unless I pay $101k, the cost of the inflated bar disciplinary proceedings against not just me but my two superiors. How is that not the epitome of corruption? I always say I'll be paying off those loans until I'm dead, can no longer make huge payments on a journalist's salary.

@MikeLee27211787 @michaelsgordon Depends on who is determine what wealth is. Politicians desperate for more money will decide that wealth is entire subjective.

@michaelsgordon Wealth tax is wealth tax. It will never apply to middle class

The federal income tax was first only applied to super “wealthy” individuals. Now everyone needs to file a federal income tax return. The wealth tax on billionaires wil eventually be applied to you — just like property taxes.

@michaelsgordon Except, the bottom fifty percent of taxpayers pay zero or minuscule taxes.

@kevsaucebro Vote buying influencing, hands down.

she should resign. this is a scandal

@bewarephog I don’t know who the players are until the season starts!

Remember when we saw Kansas basketball highlights and knew who the players were. That was awesome.

@SteveOnSpeed Loans are not inherently predatory. They provide the means to acquire assets long before a person could afford the full payment. You have the option to pay them off as early as possible.

It’s tough to make the argument that student loans are usury when they voluntarily signed on the dotted line.

@SteveOnSpeed Especially when the rates are no where close to usurious 🙄

@peterrhague “Essentially” is pretty much the issue. He shouldn’t have been out on a pass.

@jamiekwil He’s already essentially under 24/7 confinement.

The 30 year old man who tossed a 3 year old into the crocodile enclosure has been released on bail. Before you get outraged; understand he is apparently a man with learning disabilities who got away from his carer. This might be negligent but do you expect the police to detain him and look after him? There is some easy outrage to be had here, but nobody wants to have a discussion about the serious flaws in adult social care, and how we deal with individual such as this. It’s not cheap, for one thing…
