I actually have quite a bit of family there as well as Iām 30% Ukrainian. This is unjustified and unreasonable. An absolute travesty and I couldnāt have said it better āoff his rockerā is SOOO CORRECT, the man is insane and someone has to put a stop to him. My family who have emigrated often go back to visit.

All of the wars are for resources. I need to only briefly stop here because I get really upset about this. We are never told the truth about why weāre going there. We are given some stories about God, freedom etc.
Corporate interest also plays a huge role and is never mentioned.
My favorite fantasy is that the children of all the politicians that get us into the war, would be on the front lines

Without getting too political about itā¦
I feel fnckin terrible about what is going on with Ukraine. I feel like Im standing there, watching a full grown man, beat up a kid. And not stepping in.
I know we, as a nation, are not bound to do more but, man it just makes me feel dirty all over.

Not only are we not bound to, weāre kind of bound not toā¦ getting involved in a conflict right next door to Russia, with Japan and South Korea near enough to be caught up in it, will destabilize the region (in terms of our interests there) more than sitting and watching does, unfortunately. Not only do they have a strategic advantage in location, but a large-scale conflict between Russian-aligned and American-aligned forces will simply weaken both enough for China to step in and seize the advantage. It doesnāt help us any if we defend Ukraine, but give Xi the perfect opportunity to take Taiwan or actively defend their claim on the South China Sea.
Politics is a mess. 
War is pretty much an extension of politics, unfortunately. All that most of us can do is hope to stay out of the way.

I couldnāt disagree more for several reasons here are the most important. Ukraine has Europeās largest supply of lithium, second largest supply of natural gas, is full of natural resources that the world is handing over to a conqueror. Itās absolutely in the USAās best interest to deter this and also Japan, etc. China are making moves, Islamic Republic is making moves. This is already happening the least we can do is supply ammo, sat coverage, anything is better than nothing. We gave 20 years to afghanistan a country where no one would fight for themselves and gave it away in a week. Ukraine is different we canāt hand the free world over to the communists and other bullies. If you had family in Ukraine your words would be different.

If I had family in Ukraine, I might be more personally invested in it. It doesnāt change the strategic considerations though. Weāve had warning of this for weeks at least, and thereās a reason weāre not doing anything already. It wouldnāt entirely surprise me if Russiaās military informed the US military so they could get out of the way first. 
We warned them so they could get out of the way when we bombed Syria a few years agoā¦ no one wants an actual conflict between global nuclear superpowers. Even if nukes donāt get involved, both sides lose. The US getting involved is a trolley problem.

I totally Understand the US not getting into a nuclear conflict with Russia. No winners.
Iām just stating it makes me feel like, i donāt know, less human, for not helping. If that makes any sense.

Oh, it completely sucks. Thatās pretty much the definition of the trolley problemā¦ there is no right answer, no matter what you do itās unethical.

I was reading that the US wont get involved because we dont trade much with Ukraine.
Someone needs to help them. Tank running over a car.
Damn

Awesome, now they have to learn to grow organic, which works perfectly fine too.
This is a really great thing in my book.
No more destroying our soil.

Thats a utopian thought, and while it would be nice, the sad reality is the majority of the world depends on foods which are not necessarily grown organicallyā¦ Food prices are ALREADY rising, and have been since the start of Covid. This is not a good thing for most peopleā¦ The world isnāt suddenly gonna figure out organic gardening overnight, especially not the big producers, no matter how āgoodā it is for the planet.

so i just cut down a couple males while checking my tent. i went downstairs and i thought someone was smoking in my house. it smelled exactly like burnt weed. not just skunky or whatever, straight up burnt weed. then i smelled my fingers. i didnāt know it was possible for weed plants to smell like burnt weed without actually burning it. i chopped down a blueberry pie and a tiramisu v2, i hope it wasnāt them, but i have 2 female chem fuegos, 1 male chem fuego, and 1 female blueberry pie. i really hope it was the chem fuego because my whole grow this time around was to F2 some chem fuegos. at least the plant numbers worked out. but yeah, crazy smell.

Do not grow any Swakhammer if you donāt want smell. @chronix is right. You should know just how stinky the strain you plan to grow is before popping a bean.
I would also invest in a good carbon filter system if you have close neighbors.

Thereās no way Iām gonna miss out on that brother (that and eutierria ).
It is one of my favourite strain, I will grow them indoors once my setup is fully readyā¦
I havenāt got the beans though, but i hope itāll find its way to meā¦
