I’ll just leave this here
“blessed are the πραεῖς, for they shall inherit the earth”
πραεῖς = praeis = meek (closest English word. Not great imo) = Greek word that describes a person who has strength but restrains it. A strong man who yokes himself for the good of his community and for God. Someone capable of force, who is restrained by discipline against their own impulses.
There are a lot of plants we consider weeds that used to be cultivated as staple crops. Industrialization meant only the most productive species got attention for mechanization. Less productive species fell out of favour and now are kind of lost knowledge.
Lamb’s quarters: also called goosefoot or wild spinach. It’s related to quinoa and both the seeds and the leaves were eaten.
Purslane: grows in poor soils and is hardy. Still used in Mediterranean cooking but is considered a garden weed in a lot of the world
Dandelions and amaranth: both were cultivated, and most amaranth varieties are considered weeds now
Sorrel: tough leafy green with a tangy flavour used prior to citrus in Europe.
Ground elder: hated by gardeners and farmers. A nice spring leafy green planted around monestaries
Mallow: used to thicken soups and stews. Still used in the middle east and Mediterranean but is considered a weed elsewhere.
Nettles: you’ve probably heard of this one? Not farmed anymore to my knowledge.
Fake tolerable left vs right, while driving a wedge into and causing infighting of leftists so they never coordinate enough to make meaningful change and redistribute wealth.
Left vs right 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Up vs down 😡🤬 be grateful to your billionaires! They funded the left vs right rhetoric for you!
4·3 days agoYeah I agree with you there. It’s going to be a free for all once that happens…

This shit is so much funnier in German than English for some reason.
I also don’t speak German at all and had to translate the image to know what it said but it was funny even before I translated it
Pronouncing it “nitch” is how biologists pronounce niche when talking about “that thing an organism does well to survive”
Oh hi Freagle! And yeah you’re exactly right!
If the petrodollar fails that’s exactly what’s going to happen. The rest of the world won’t miss the opportunity to hamstring the US during their moment of weakness and ensure they turn into an insular, regional isolationist power. It’ll be well deserved too…
The founding myth of your nation is violence. I think it’s like asking if there will be snow in February (I’m Canadian btw)
😱 they’re going to put me on the same lists twice! 😱
If you haven’t seen It the largest steam train in the world was restored by union pacific, #4014 big boy. It’s basically two heavy freight locos welded together into one machine over a hundred feet long. Lots of great videos of it online including a great video where it helps out a stalled mainline freight train running actual customer UP freight.
