The people of New York have a strange relationship to plants.

@futurebird One thing I remember from my first (and only) visit to Toronto -- in early December, many years ago -- was the decorative cabbages planted in small plots outside people's homes. I had no idea that they were a thing.
Brassicas, eh? Weirder and much more annoying than beans...
@darkling @futurebird Decorative brassicas are a NY tradition in much of Asia.

More. A cabbage planted and abandoned to dog piss is still adding a lot of the benefits of plant life. Not much was wasted as they practically grow on trees.
@gbargoud
And also more because that hipster aesthetic of veg in window boxes was about acknowledging the importance of feeding people in cities. So what kind of mindset goes 'let's take that and make it not food'

@Bumblefish @futurebird I just had no idea they were a Thing until that point.
But I guess, brassicas can be all things to all people...

I'm not impressed if you buy them that big at the nursery. Which is what I thought they did. Until I started feeling depressed about the sorry state of my own cabbage efforts... how could they beat me with such healthy broad fractal edged green leaves and so little sunlight... and so many... additives?
Cheating. That is how.

It's just... sad. Every square centimeter of photosynthetic green is valuable in a city. Someday they will understand, I hope. But not before the collapse.
There are less glamorous things that will grow in such places.

Anything. The hardier the better.

BUT: that’s when I took a closer look, because the cabbages were even stranger than I had thus far suspected.
can you guess?
that’s right they were FAKE.
plastic cabbages!!
I don’t know if that makes me MORE or less angry. 3/3
@futurebird this might be the only place where watching an ATLA fight scene would not tarnish my conscience -

@futurebird @angelastella boosting this because i love how out of context it vaguely sounds like a threat -

@futurebird @Bumblefish @darkling I was going to say it was the nitrogen rich urine...

Confermo, interessantissimo! Non ho mai davvero pensato a come questa cosa alimentasse tutto un sottobosco di criminalità.
Nella mia ingenuità ho sempre pensato che le licenze di Office, con cui ho avuto esperienza diretta, provenissero da fallimenti di aziende, chiusure di centri di formazione, attività che acquistano magari blocchi di licenze che in gran parte restano inutilizzate e che per recuperare qualche soldo vengono distaccate dai volume licensing...
Ecco magari non propriamente in modo ligio ai TOS, ma tutto sommato ho pensato di poter chiudere un occhio. Tra l'altro trovate su eBay.
Invece, a quanto pare, non funzionava così...
