  • There are very few plants that would see any measurable benefit from the dissolved minerals in tap water. Dissolved minerals are actually to some plants’ detriment, because they tend to make water more alkaline. House plants are often tropical plants that evolved in humid, rainy areas with acidic soils. Watering with rainwater or distilled water and using an appropriate fertilizer are almost always going to yield a better outcome.

    Temperature-wise, room temperature is best. Plants don’t expect or like hot water

    It’s hard to overstate how much money “2-3x what a run of the mill job makes” is over the course of a lifetime. I guess to you right now it doesn’t seem like much, but someone who makes three times more money than someone else is significantly more well off. There aren’t any wage jobs that are going to net you exponential salary growth. Your only hope there is to strike gold and found PayPal or Microsoft or something.

    Look dude, I’m not here to argue about the US’s absolutely fucked foreign policy, and in absolutely no fucking way am I saying any one conflict is not driven in whole or in part by capitalism.

    But “Capitalism is the primary driver of wars” is a fundamentally false statement. Just because it’s a driver of some or even most modern conflicts does not make it “the primary driver of wars.” War is a well documented and studied social phenomenon that predates capitalism by thousands of years, maybe millions. Fucking chimpanzee tribes war with each other. There are thousands upon thousands of wars throughout human history that prove your statement wrong.

    Yes, every non-capitalist country throughout history has been a beacon of peace lmao

    Humans are human. Capitalism is absolutely a driver of some conflict, but conflict is driven not only by economic interests, but also political, ethnic, religious, and other interests.
