Thank you!

I preface this by saying that I’m just a very amateur hobbyist, and even an expert would never 100% call a stone without physically seeing it, so if you really, really want to know I’d ask a gemologist. The ones in my area throw fairs a few times a year, and I’ve found many jewelers can actually be quite helpful about id-ing a stone, especially if you approach them on a slow day.

But to me the crystals look entirely wrong for agate and don’t seem quite the right shade of green for Prasiolite. The crystals don’t seem quite right in color or shape for Brochantite either.

Aurichalcite is a possibility for the stones in the second pic, although the crystals don’t look as orderly as Aurichalcite usually does.

The left stone in the first pic looks a bit like low-quality beryl, actually. Although I might see banding? Which would be more a calcite or fluorite thing. It’s hard to tell in the photo if it’s actual banding or just light play off broken crystal.

The right stone in the first pic might be chrysocolla, although usually it forms nodules rather than crystals like that. Calcite or fluorite might make more sense for that one too.

I do see some quartz in there. I keep trying to zoom in but then imagur switches me to some bullshit about net neutrality.

Their ‘Christianity’ says that as long as you go to the proper church and agree with everything the pastor says, you have an automatic ‘get into Heaven free’ card, so you can be an evil, mouth breathing cunt and it doesn’t matter.

No surprise, it’s popular among the lazy set that prefer to be told they can be as evil as they like, rather than being told they have to improve themselves.

Don’t those laws have caveats for tipped jobs, so the businesses don’t have to pay their employees minimum wage?

Seriously. I wish people would stop posting shit like this. It’s obviously written just to be left-leaning copium.

And yet you made a comment…

Man, and after all that work we put in destroying those countries’ governments so we could grow those bananas…

On the contrary, their morals are very foundational; and they’d often rather die than deviate from them. It’s just that they know their actual morals are reprehensible, so they claim different morals as the winds blow to hide the truth.

Which is, simply, to have an in-group that the law protects but does not bind, and an out-group the law binds but does not protect, and then to plop themselves firmly in the first group and as many people as they can get away with in the second.

They’re fine having some people in the in-group with them, as long as those people think, look, and act like they do; anyone else is a dangerous ‘other’ that must be dumped into the second group immediately.

He was always an ass. But as he got older he definitely slid from ass into full-on shithead.

If that’s the case they need to go back to school and take a few writing courses.

One day when I was a young boy on holiday in Uberwald I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, I’m sure you’ll agree, and even as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged onto a half submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters, who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders, gentlemen. Mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that is when I first learned about evil. It is built into the very nature of the universe. Every world spins in pain. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior.

They’re just sealioning, because they think it makes them look smart. Nazis are all morons, so they naturally gravitate towards stupid actions.

Of course they don’t mean women pull out a calculator, a notebook, and start doing calculations, anymore than when a person throws a ball at a target they pull out some graph paper and start calculating parabolic arcs and all that shit. They’re saying we do it instinctively, and if we’re good at doing it instinctively then we can do it intellectually.

If I call myself a giant, I don’t suddenly and magically grow to be 30’ tall. What people call themselves means nothing.

May as well asked who the slave owners sold to since so many in the South were enslaved.

The answer is the same. They sell to each other. We don’t get a cut. They dream of the day they actually get to have slaves again. Most of them don’t see us as people; they see us as things that siphon off money that needs to be in their pockets. Money we don’t deserve because we’re not rich.

Unless you’re a part of .ml, apparently. They auto-censor that stuff for some reason.

Seems like they were being chased by the driver’s ex-girlfriend. The woman in the car was calling a friend because she was scared about it, then….

No, it’s called ‘being a fucking moron’.

Maybe they thought it was another case of AI being code for ‘An Indian’? Goodness knows enough ‘AI’ companies have tried pulling that shit…
