I wish I'd known how much pot space fruits and veggies need to thrive. Indeterminate tomatoes are supposed to have at least like 20 gallons.

Hillary is a POS. But to blame it on her, at least entirely, makes very little sense. There are numerous reasons why he won... despite the fact that HE lost the popular vote against her.

  1. indoor grow setups/storage/fertilizer with the best lights. for both what you're probably thinking, and for my houseplants.
  2. enough wood/other materials for a shit ton of trellising and soil components for my garden next year.
  3. If there's anything left over, I'd donate it.

my interpretation, at least:

the trap is the government (the US' in this example, perhaps) promising freedom of speech/unlawful search and seizure; but then terrorizing and inflicting violence upon those whose opinions they disagree with, but much more regularly and openly.

Those trapped think they are protected from such retaliation because they have ignored/permitted/trivialized the systemic violence against marginalized groups that has been prevalent for centuries. They ignore the signs of their country's propensity for fascism, and its intentional increase of brazenly hateful rhetoric and policies.

But they are by no means exempt, and many won't realize that until it's too late.

interesting! I love learning about the different kinds of logic languages use. visually, Thai is one of my favorite languages (and Thailand has my favorite cuisine, too)!

Your question is a little unclear.

If you're talking about a debate, or needing to approach someone about something, it's best to go in as prepared as possible and address any new arguments as they come.

However, the other person has to feel like they're being heard, understood, and (often) validated in some form—even if it's not completely genuine—if there is ever a chance of getting them to change their mind.

If this is a personal (or professional) conflict, though, be careful. To some people, it doesn't matter what you say or how you say it, even if they're in the wrong.

Yes; I do everything solo, for the most part. They're generally pretty easy.

Though I like Shadowheart too, I had a crush on Karlach pretty much immediately. I had no choice but to romance her. She's so sincere and adorable!

you forgot these hits:

  • Oops! I Did it Again??? (running into things so often that you're constantly finding bruises you don't remember getting)
  • Analysis Paralysis
  • Justice Sensitivity (it totally helps to live in a fascist state)
  • Having Mental Breakdowns Over Trivialities Disorder✨️
    • Hard mode: surprise, PMS too! fuck you loser lol

Gee. It's almost like language evolves!

 

A rant. FYI, this post might be a but triggering for some.

She called about ADHD. She was renewing her nursing license (though she's retired) and said she took a course on adult ADHD. She said she felt bad that she has been so ignorant about it, and that she didn’t know I was suffering all this time.

I didn't, but I wanted to say, "what the fuck do you mean you didn't know??? How????"

I literally requested help for it at like 13, but the doctor gave up on it immediately after I was on Concerta for just a few weeks because I was FORGETTING TO TAKE IT (??????). She said, "you're just depressed and anxious". Okay??? As if it's impossible to have ADHD too???

Never mind the fact that when the doctor dismissed me the first time, it took me crying to get her to even consider it the first place.

My parents didn't even say anything when she took me off of Concerta and reiterated that she thought i just had depression and anxiety. They just accepted it even though I KNEW I had it. I did the research, because no one else was going to, clearly. And I knew my feelings usually weren't taken seriously, anyway.

I was finally able to get medicated just recently. I'm 32. I appreciate her trying now, but I needed help then. My life could've been so much different if I hadn't been easily and frequently dismissed.

 
 

Apparently, the PC I was given by my employer less than a year ago is too out of date (uses Windows 10) and I have to have Windows 11 now for security reasons. I have a gaming PC, but it's my partner's, too, and it'd be a huge waste of its power and graphics card, plus it'd have to be moved. I really don't want to do that.

A new company owns the company I work for now, but still. This is not what I agreed to. Ugh. I'm so annoyed.

It's not that expensive, really ($200), but it's the principle of the matter. How long will it be before they force me to do this again, anyway??? I already get paid a shit wage.

MC Hammer is watching you.

 

No filters were used; I promise. The colors look "normal" when it's (fire*) storming. Feel free to visit my base—a WIP—if you're in the area!

*edit: I was wrong. They're super-heated rainstorms
