'Forgotten' water harvesting system transforms 'barren wasteland' into thriving farmland (www.upworthy.com)

Just a few years ago, the Sahel region at the northern edge of Senegal was a "barren wasteland" where nothing had grown for 40 years. But the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and local villagers teamed up to regreen the area, bringing back agriculture, improving the economy of the people who live there, and preventing the climate migration that desertification ultimately leads to.

Hypocrisy means double standards, you tone-policing projection addict.

You called me swine.

You called me swine for a polite jibe about dirt.

Fuck entirely off with your high-horse posturing, after barging in to deliver that baseless feigned offense. Which I met, by the way, with a blunt version of the detailed response you fucking wanted. A courtesy you seem incapable of meeting in kind. Because of course, you, the protagonist of reality, get to declare me persona non grata, but god forbid anyone else consider a comment rambling and irrelevant. It was so detailed! About trees, for some reason, and gyms, and electronics?

Oh no I'm sorry, that previous sentence wasn't rigidly diagram-friendly, which is what you think "parse" means. No. It means, I still have no idea why that guy mentioned his gym. That part, which I only touched on because you pushed me to address it, fuckface, was not even the nit initially picked.

I am treating you as an equal. I hold you to your own standards. You are found sorely lacking. Worst of all for the inevitable 'see I knew it' response, as if anything short of groveling apology wouldn't be dismissed as such.
