I heard about a WoW clan leader in like 2005 or so who got interviewed by the FBI because some of his guild members used it to organize an attack. I think they threw grenades at an Army base or something.

Mf you made this in Paint. Just kidding but it does look fake.

No, not unless you don’t know what those words mean.

Places have to be good neighbors if they want security. Can’t be belligerent and be safe. It’s an either or thing. Nothing colonial about that.

This mf spittin.

To add, this particular region isn’t a country as that term is understood by anyone. It is lawless, unincorporated territory without anyone in charge.

It’s finders keepers. First country who can bring law and order to the territory gets to keep it, and the Republic of Yemen, has proved either unwilling and incapable.

To be clear, it would be fine if the people in this territory wanted to live like it’s the year 600 and kept to themselves, but that’s not what they want. They want to be part of a new Islamic caliphate and rule the entire world.

Not gonna happen ✅.

Grab the book from the library and read it. Even as an adult, it’s an important message. Don’t even need to check it out. Takes five minutes cover to cover.

It’s like, maybe you think you are the missing piece for someone else. You’re a pie-shaped triangle. You can’t roll on your own. So you’re looking for a circle that is missing a slice. Some you’ll be too big and won’t fit, or too small and you’ll fall out. Some will break. Some will break you. Some will neglect you. Others will put you on a pedestal.

But it you start trying to roll on your own as a triangle, and you can will yourself to just flop over one time, and then again, and then again, eventually your corners will wear down and you will become a full circle, and be able to roll all on your own.

Reminds me of the book, The Missing Piece by Shel Silverstein.

No piece is going to fill you just right. Have to learn to roll on your own before you can roll with someone else.

This is really good. I read a lot of kid’s books and always like ones illustrated with watercolor, and this is better than many, many illustrations I see.

Oh that makes sense.

Absolutely. Cut all those extra shoots and branches down to the trunk and then paint it with Bonide Pruning Sealer or equivalent, then wrap it with an opaque tree wrap, not burlap, something with wound protection in mind.

Then you want to fuse the centermost shoots/branches by lashing them together; I like anodized aluminum wire (bonsai wire) for this because it’s easy to work with and allows a little stretch, you can use zip ties as well.

Here’s an article that touches on the technique. See the part about thickening branches. Basically, you’re going to grow the branches so close to each other that in a few seasons they are just one branch.

Bonsai training is the ticket here, for your research. Plenty of people do bonsai hydrangea and someone have probably written about fusion techniques specific to hydrangea.

Depending on where you are, after that massive prune, it might not be the right season to cut it back much further. You might want to cut all the branches outside of the center back by several more inches, so that they are all shorter then the center branches, and then do the remaining cutting and begin the fuse in winter.

There’s also the opposite technique of trunk fusion, which is trunk splitting. You may find that once you get in there, there are several different plants that want to come apart. You can break them on their seams if’n you find seams, and then done proper trunk merge.

Awesome setup.

I just throw mine together in a shelf for several weeks before planting season.

Holy shit. Get em.

Sweet.

Man I wanted a post about fishing.

If that link works?

Any lawyer, law firm employee, private investigator, insurance adjuster, or credit industry can get it easily. I operate under the same presumption.

Memes be like that sometimes.

It goes through rounds of lawyers and actuaries long before an insurer changes coverage policies. It’s absolute fantasy to think they threw this change together practically overnight.

I remember reading that it was coming before Luigi, but like the person you’re replying to, I can’t find it after the enshitification of web sesrching. It’s buried behind a billion articles about Luigi.
