For me personally that was way too much prose and too little original content...

Ah yes, now I get it! Thanks :)

I feel like something similar has been going on a few years ago as well (or maybe it's an old post?)

It is a valid term used by trans people to describe their own feelings (see the gender dysphoria bible for example). The other person must have gotten something mixed up...

Wow, I loved this! Thanks for sharing <3

Just use its Latin name, Solidago. How am I supposed to know what it is called in English when each other language also has its own name.

And yes, in Germany I do see it as an invasive pest. But at least it attracts a lot of pollinators. The invasive species of Erigeron are worse.

What's genetic monoculture then? Wouldn't that be identical to just monoculture? Or is it having the same crop, but different genetic variants on the same field for multiple years?

I've taken many pictures of copulating insects and I always feel weird doing that. But for identification purposes it's great...

Interestingly, it is still very different. Men fantasizing about sex bots is objectifying female bodies and taking control over them. That's why it is so creepy. Women searching for a romantic partner in chat bots is actually subjectifying an inanimate thing.

I've never understood why people buy clothing from expensive brands (except for when there is a real expectation of quality/durability)

Like, I understand it if the choice were only between original and poor-quality rip-off. But usually you can just go with something else that isn't by an expensive brand and isn't a rip-off...

True, I had to think of magic cards, too. I would definitely print my own cards if I'd play nowadays...

Nice article! As an outsider I still don't get why people wouldn't sell/buy unpainted minis for cheap (e.g. on etsy)
