“What are we supposed to do, just have dirt around our house on four acres?”
Umm, yeah? You live in Southern California; if you want an evergreen lawn, move somewhere where it’s geographically feasible to have it.
This shite pisses me off. Human entitlement knows no bounds.
Stop stealing the Bay’s water you SoCal piece of shit
“what are we supposed to do, just acknowledge the limits that climate places on plants?” YES YOU UNMITIGATED ASS……..you are rich enough to move somewhere else if you want a lawn THAT BADLY
this is like trying to grow a pineapple in new york and getting mad that the winter frost killed it….
except worse, bc somehow you’re ENTITLED to a pineapple to the extent that you feel comfortable taking from already-dwindling sources and putting it towards YOUR pineapple, which you deserve more than other people deserve because you have the means to support your arbitrary and senseless focus on growing pineapples in the wrong climate.
and at least pineapple can be EATEN.
“it angers me because people aren’t looking at the overall picture” ahahahahhahaha hahahahahahah
“A futuristic tale of urban life in Beijing has won a Chinese novelist a top international prize for science fiction, beating out heavyweight Stephen King for the honour.
Hao Jingfang, 32, won the Hugo Award for best novelette with Folding Beijing, a year after another Chinese writer, Liu Cixin, won the best novel prize for The Three-Body Problem, Xinhua reported on the weekend.
Receiving her award in Kansas City, Missouri, Hao said she was not surprised she had won but had also been prepared to lose.
“In Folding Beijing, I have raised a possibility for the future and how we face the challenges of automated production, technological advances, unemployment and economic stagnation,” she said.
Hao said her book offered a solution to those challenges, but she hoped the situations she described would not become reality.
Hao is from Tianjin, and graduated with a physics degree from Tsinghua University in 2006.
The Hugo Awards, established in 1953, are regarded as the highest honour in science fiction and fantasy. They are named after Hugo Gernsback who was the founder of the American science fiction magazineAmazing Stories.”
