Have you heard of the concept of company towns?

I mean, he’s a Nazi presiding over a Nazi government doing Nazi things.

He isn’t as bad as Hitler yet; but Hitler wasn’t as bad as Hitler in the first part of his reign either.

Depends on who you talk to. Seems the more rabid members of fuckcars want to ban cars completely, and jail anyone who resists lol

Japanese Holly actually gets small purple-black berries (assuming a male nearby). Still good for birds though.

The peashrub can set a sort of tan fruit; but after flowering what people usually enjoy is the weeping form, pruning it to be more open to show that off (it’ll end up looking sort of like a snuffleupagus if you don’t prune). ‘Walker’ is a variety with more delicate foliage so it shows the weeping habit better.

I mean, if you want color, scent, and a long bloom time, you could go with a rebooming rose, like Scentimental or one of the Knock Out types. Most good rebloomers aren’t quite as tall as you were hoping for, although sometimes you can find them grown as standards.

There’s also lilacs, which even though you’d get only a short bloom, you could prune to whatever look you wanted.

If you want to just do a green dramatic accent, Ilex ‘Sky Pencil’ fits every other one of your requirements.

Probably the best tree that roughly fits what you want is Caragana arborescens ‘Pendula’. Not a rebloomer, but pretty flowers, a nice weeping habit, and a pretty yellow fall color do give it year-round interest.

Belgium and Spain would like a word.

Seriously, everyone forgets about what Belgium did in the Congo. They really went for quality over quantity with the atrocities there.

I thought we were doing Zombie Mitch right now?

Point of order: I said ‘little shit’, not ‘bitch’

Right; they declared it their territory, all kids keep off the lawn, and then us women just stroll on in like we want jobs and money and hobbies and all the other stuff they said was theirs, no touchie!

And they don’t want every space as their space, just every one that gets them a good wage (defending hunting grounds?), or good recognition (keeping a higher place in the tribe?). Like, brewing beer and doing computer work (for example) were a woman’s space until men realized they could make a lot of money at that stuff.

FR I really think it’s a tribalism/territorial thing. I mean, pretty much all humans are kinda tribal/territorial but a lot of men seem to especially be so?

acts like a little shit

demands others be better when they ask them to not be a little shit

Maybe try leading by example?

Territorial, maybe? Women are ‘invading their spaces’ (i.e. the job market, sports teams…) so they have to chase us away to defend their territory?

 

For fun, pair with something always happening to make you leave just a little later than you needed to in order to get to wherever you’re going on time.
