What species or type of cacti is it?
Did you change when you water, move locations, or anything that may have an impact on its health?
Not too sure either, but the more info the better.
Then more research to be done, so as to figure possible conditions ot causes!
We need House M.D., an expert diagnostician… but in this case a cactus doctor, cactus horticulturist.
Communism vs Feudalism vs. indigenous leaders (chieftains) vs Monoarchy vs. Oligarchy
Chieftains would be closer to a commune, but they would have a set of chiefs that form ‘a tribal chiefs’ council.’

No stress/strain, no gain, to reach your ultimate strength!
In life, we can [not] be afraid to reach the next stage, plastic region, we must be willing to go further (elastic region) even if we fail.
Once we reach failure, then we can improve and acquire an adequate margin of safety, so we may move on to the next project!
Nice!
Some may say, hobnobble…
Does not sound as good as yours though, hahaha

Originally recorded in 1958 for their legendary album, “Remember When?”, The Platters’ cover of the show tune first written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach in 1933 for the musical Roberta quickly became a number one hit in the United States on the Billboard Hot 100 music chart.

OG video, mentioned from info above: Smoke Gets In Your Eyes – Fred & Ginger in Roberta 1935 | https://invidious.drgns.space/watch?v=7xYgeme2F9w | https://youtu.be/7xYgeme2F9w
“Smoke Gets In Your Eyes” performed by Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1935 musical film
Roberta’. It is a show tune written by American composer Jerome Kern and lyricist Otto Harbach for their 1933 Broadway musicalRoberta’. Fred and Ginger danced only to the tune in the 1935 film adaptation. The most famous sung version of the tune was recorded in 1958 by `The Platters’ which became a number one hit on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
The meaning behind Smoke Gets In Your Eyes revolves around themes of heartbreak, nostalgia, and the bittersweet memories of love that once was. The lyrics embody the experience of longing for someone who is no longer there, and the overwhelming emotions that accompany such a loss. It speaks to the universal human experience of yearning for a past love and the lingering effect it has on the heart.
Awesome, side profile of turtle chilling in the sun!
Great work on the other pictures as well, I enjoy the rainbow and the sunset with birds looking in the same direction!
This picture is much more appealing, showing off that mug!
True, sadly, the working class has much to continue to learn.
It doesn’t help that the owner class activily enables and helps fund people and projects to keep the working class divided!
That is why we need to be open to talk and have discussions with people with a diverse set of thinking, echo chambers and bubbles do not help us, it may only work to hinders our society.

Many labels are used, as an easy way to dismiss anything that might force people to use our critical thinking capabilities and to listen to bias different from our own.
We must continue to be willing to talk and discuss with people that do not think or agree with our way of the world!
You quote some information about Aaron Maté and you mention The Grayzone, but you missed the best part…
The Grayzone is a far-right and far-left news website and blog founded and edited by American journalist Max Blumenthal.
That may be true, but that is the logic that is pushed on us since our birth as well as by the ‘job creators’.
It seems to be the norm or also known as the status quo thinking, so that we may achieve the ‘American dream’.
Great question!
I will keep it short.

Is there not a saying about this, I forget the direct one…
How would you push back against these, I know many working class people are born hearing them, as well as people starting their own businesses…
Here are some similar ones though:

Thanks for clarifying and going further into explaining your views to us!
Some people can be seen as being a dreamer[1], I see myself as such a person, I try to stay hopeful, I see it as a much more positive way of living in the world; as well as much healthier for our mental health
Lemmy as a niche platform not one that appeals the masses
Yes, Lemmy is currently a niche platform, but that is how many start off, it takes time and much effort to grow a community.
It is similar to grassroots movements, where people that are leaders or learn to become one are willing to speak with anyone for a cause they feel strongly about, and they start to grow slowly.
I see lemmy in that phase or light, where most activity will be from people that are willing to throw themselves out there and share their favorite hobbies and put in the energy to interact with strangers (whether it may be apositive or negative interaction is another thing).
It takes time for people to come out of their shells and to start being active on forums as well, hopefully in Lemmy we give people that opportunity to grow as people and to take chances to meet and discuss any topic with strangers.
A few dedicated people can’t foster a genuine community out of sheer enthusiasm.
Well, it takes a few to start something new, in my eyes all important causes and projects start with a few people just having fun or putting the time to create something new.
To accomplish anything in life, it will take time and a lot of energy and people willing to do that.
I just don’t personally see that happening.
It is okay to see the world in that way, but just putting a bit of effort into sharing or creating a community that you like, will help improve the community.
Activity would increase, if you create a community or decide to share more of your hobbies and opinions within those communities.
If the communities would be liked by Lemmurs or not, it is another matter, but in the end of the day we all have our own way of seeing the world and we can have discussions with people that are willing to share their views as well.
The only way we can continue to grow as people, is by forcing ourselves to push against our own bias and to keep talking with people that do not think or agree with what we have to say.

Much text to read, here is a Lemmur for a fun pic:
On “Lonely,” Akon wishes he had treated his girlfriend better after she leaves him.
This song is about a boyfriend who neglects his girl and takes her for granted. One day, he wakes up and she’s gone. It’s only in her absence that he realizes what she means to him and comes to appreciate her. >>
“Lonely” was a commercial success, reaching the top five on the charts in several countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The song tells the story of a man who is struggling with his emotions and feeling alone. The lyrics describe his longing for human connection and his fear of never finding it. The chorus, which is repeated several times throughout the song, is particularly poignant:
- “I’m so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
- I have nobody for my own
- I’m so lonely, I’m Mr. Lonely
- I have nobody for my own”

Change is not easy, it takes time and people willing to help foster that new change.
I am one of those people that is really into politics, but I try to interact with other communities once in a while!
It is an election year, so politics is always in an all time high on any forums and social media.
I suggest, if you are willing, to step up your game and be really active in the communites you would like to see flourish.
It may be lonely, but it tends to be when starting new things!
We are all trying the best we can, when we can, I give props to the lemmyverse and fediverse for all they do!
Thanks for posting, even if you used a burner account!
In a survey, published Sunday by CBS News, 82 percent of registered voters said they think it is more difficult to purchase a home than it was for previous generations, while 76 percent said the same for raising a family.
About 70 percent of voters in the poll said securing a good job is harder than in the past, even in the wake of recent strong job numbers. According to the May jobs report, payrolls increased by 272,000 and wage growth ticked upward in a reversal of a three-month downward trend.
While young voters overwhelmingly have concerns about the current state of the world, most voters under 30 — 62 percent — still have optimism about attaining the “American Dream.” Thirty-two percent said they won’t reach it, while 6 percent said they already have.
