  • Depends entirely on the type of tree and type of vines.

    A local tree surgeon, hippy, or naturalist (not to be confused with a naturist!) will likely be of more help than randoms on the global net. They can look at it up close and see what we can’t.

    Generally though, nature is best left to do its thing. If the trees aren’t showing any signs of suffering because of the vines then just leave nature to do its thing.

    A variant of this phrase seems to comes up in every neurodivergent community thread.

    All humans piss, but only those with untreated diabetes piss every half an hour.

    It’s not just about the action, but the frequency or context of the action as well.

    All humans get anxious, but some people are anxious all of the time. At that point it’s deemed divergent from what is typical.

    All humans get distracted, but some people get distracted considerably easier and more regularly than others.

    All humans can focus, but some people will focus for 12h straight without moving to eat or go to the toilet.

    Frequency and context matter.

    This article is a fun read.

    The system only works because millions of cogs step in line and allow the machinery of that system to work.

    I have been part of a larger evil system. Because where I grew up that’s what everyone did, you went into the industry propping up the local economy (oil and gas). As I grew older I learned of the evils of fossil fuels, about climate change, and no longer work in oil and gas. I have no intention of ever doing so again.

    So you could quite rightfully call me a bastard. But I left and will never be returning, does that absolve me of the bastard title? I don’t know. But while you’re actively part of the machinery you’re definitely a bastard. Especially if you’re the part of the machinery that is systemically racist and assaults and restrains people on a daily basis.


  • Intentions vs actions.

    All cops are bastards because it doesnt matter what their intentions are when their actions mean they prop up injustice, legal slavery, oppression of the right to protest, and corruption.

    Cops enforce what their boss tells them to enforce, as is the way in extremely hierarchical organisations. Their intentions no longer matter, they do as they’re told.
