Very appropriate description but missing the most important religious ritual of all: The Meeting. The Meeting is a way to worthship the hierarchy and prove ones worth. Since you can't just look at nothing and talk about your lives (there is a dedicated "fun meeting" for that) you need something to look at and talk about. This is why PowerPoints are for. PowerPoint are mostly pictures and some words around numbers. Since numbers are scary these numbers are of course color coordinated with good numbers being green and bad numbers as red. So during a meeting you talk about these numbers and make sure they are all the correct color and if not have to remake the PowerPoint to ensure they are the correct color. These numbers are sometimes put together to make lines which need to go up or else they are bad.

Only the most important people have meetings all day and once you have meetings all day you need to make sure you only have important meetings. A really important Meeting has Meetings about it beforehand and afterwards. The higher level the people in the meeting and the more rare the meeting the more important the meeting. There is one most important meeting which is rare and only the most important go to: The Board Meeting. This where C-Suits meet with The Board who are C-suits at different companies. At this meeting they talk about all the numbers and make sure they are all the correct colors and lines all go up.

That's true. Also smaller organization can be easily taken over my petty individuals for their petty needs

That makes complete sense. Not a great history continues to not a great present

HOA are just such a strange concept because they could be such a useful force that has been corrupted into an engine of uniformity and roadblocks.

You would think a local organized organization would be quick and nimble to meet the needs of it's small group of citizens who know each other. But they got bogged down in petty arguments and minor aesthetic changes. Local municipal governments got stuck in the same trap. Too much regulation of minor aesthetic issues.

I don't know the solution but interesting

What's the difference been homosexual behavior and bisexual conduct? Did they have to add in bisexual conduct after they caught someone kissing a boy and girl and were trapped because it want homosexual anymore?

You need to cold stratify the seeds for 30 days to get them to bloom. I'm letting mine just go hog wild and seed anywhere

I'm sure you can find one nearby

Come fly into the twin cities and take a look around. There's tons of different neighborhoods and you can drive to the major other cities in a day. Duluth is great and got a whole different biome from the Twin Cities. You can go to Rochester which is growing fast and has the Mayo Clinic if you need or want to work medical care. I love stillwater since it's a small town close to the twin cities but not really a suburb. You can't really go wrong.

Also to note Minnesota has three different ecological biomes in it. Prairies, coniferous forest and deciduous forests. So you can pick your landscape and see others nearby

At least the State of Minnesota has a similar consent decree with the Minneapolis police department. But that will only last as long as there are people in state to still enforce it. I doubt that will be the case for other cities who decrees are coming to be canceled. This is still despicable

I love columbines. They are so beautiful and I love that they kind of wander through the garden. I have my first one in bloom this year and can't wait to see it spread around

President Trump also announced that construction would begin on a White Genocide Museum in Washington, D.C. once several museums commemorating the history of less important races had been razed to provide the space.

Yet again an onion article killing it with the last sentence.

They are only able to be foraged a few days / a week a year. That must have been a lot of fiddleheads

Vue Lee spent $133 less on his electric bill this February than he did in February 2024.

The savings mean a lot to Lee. He lives in Brooklyn Park and has what he calls a “typical Asian family,” with an adult daughter and grandchildren also living under his roof. The extra money can go to groceries or family fun.

“I can spend more on the grandkids,” Lee said.
