Side Quest: Plants (this is the corn video)

[Fireye]

Yeah oh my god you can't keep looking at the state of things™ without dying a little inside. I can't imagine researching sequences of videos on it without a break is great for the 'ol mental health lmao.

At least plants are friends.

This Video was Wonderful, and a good distraction from the more heavier Topics you do. So I do like the Side Quests.

I have some Plant I grow on my Balcony, but besides that I am quite Active in the Garden Club of my Housing Complex. Where we grow a variety of things, it always a small fight between Food Crops and Flowers. But we do Compromise so everything ends well. We recently harvested our Potatoes, which were absolutely Delicious, and when I have the Patience to trim the Salad I also have some of that.

One thing I appreciate from your channel's perspective, and one that I think has transferred to the forum, is answering the question of why? Why care about digital privacy and freedom? Why care about digital spaces? It's so that we can be free and chill and enjoy wonderful communities online. We care about these things because we want to LIVE. Therefore at some point we have to actually get on with living. We learn about digital freedom so that we can be free. Yes, it may be interesting in and of itself, but for many of us it's for more than just optimizing a private lifestyle. It's about getting our lives back.

Living life and vibing and sharing stories about plants are why we care.

I am planning on giving breaks between the more intense privacy and technology conversations with side quests like this! I think I need those breaks just as much as everyone else, so it's nice to have an agreement there.

When a filmmaker is interested in two distinct subjects and plans to release episodes about both regularly, he often creates separate channels for each. For example, Cody Franklin maintains both AlternateHistoryHub, his main channel, and PointlessHub, for film reviews. This means that viewers interested in only privacy could pay attention just to the Reject Convenience channel, while the rest of us can watch your secondary channel also. I am considering developing two personal sites, one for nonfiction and one for creative writing, for the same reason.

I dislike describing cultivated plants as man-made or ‘manipulated’. The variations involved would occur naturally, and the maize plant grows according to its own, unaltered nature; man’s only part in it was to maintain an environment where they could thrive, whereas they would have otherwise perished as freaks of nature.

What you are reffering to is called domestication, which is the act of giving organisms certain traits through selective breeding. It wasn't just that the plants were allowed to live that allowed them to change but we also intentionally culled the ones with unwanted traits. A good example of this would be sheep there are 2 kinds of sheep domesticated sheep and the oh so few wild sheep putting the 2 side by side reveals that they are different yet they both come from the same common ancestor; The reason for this is because we domesticated the fluffy sheep they are so fluffy that they are required to be trimmed lest their quality of life worsens due to their coats, whereas the wild ones where allowed to evolve and adapted to their environments.

If anything is unclear please inform me so that I may quell the confusion. Have a good life.
