I aim to be more human. I aim to be less apathetic as a human. Apathy grows, like a tree, and I aim to prune my own.

  • His videos are why I got a heat pump water heater instead of a standard one when mine died. I figure in summer I can hook the exhaust duct up to my hvac and get a bit of free air conditioning out of it, since I don't have AC yet. Tiny extra bonus piped straight to my bedroom.

  • Outdoor veggie and fruit gardeners, how do you protect your crops against disease and from becoming a buffet for pests and wildlife?

    Jump

  • I’ve been known to hatch praying mantis ootheca to have an army of predators to manage pest insects. Worked well for the most part, and preying mantids are very chill and neat

    But I haven't gardened in a while so I'm not sure what I’ll need this year when I've rebuilt everything. Fortunately my chicken fence seems to finally have deterred deer (I live in town on a very small lot, but at separate times I’ve had a 12 point buck and several does just hang out in my yard all day) which was a major concern previously. I might put a fence around the raised beds to keep rabbits and such out, but only if I have to.

    I’m planning to replace a lot of bushes and things that are growing on my property now, to make my landscape largely edible, with the full understanding that wildlife will probably get to much of it before I do. I’m adding stuff like serviceberry just for them, they can have the grapes and apples I can’t reach, too.

  • Theres evidence that the genocide of the americas caused the little ice age, so we’ve actually had great impacts even outside of industrialization, likely largely from widespread cooking and heating fires. The more of us there are, the more impact we seem to have.

  • A dark chapter returns: Stripping citizenship

    Jump

  • My mother had grandparents who were citizens, but because she died young, she isn’t able to claim it, which I think makes me intelligible, even though both her older and younger sisters are still alive and themselves eligible and may claim it under those updated rules.

  • A dark chapter returns: Stripping citizenship

    Jump

  • I almost qualify, but my mom died when I was young, and she’s the one who would have been eligible, and me through her. 😭

  • This one was a little too relatable

    Jump

  • I’ve liked some real stinkers. So much that I only look at ratings after watching, and only if I have strong enough feelings about how much it sucks that I want to see if people agree with my specific critiques. And thats mostly to just be like “yeah that tracks”, because I add everything that looks promising down to about a 5/10 rating. A lot of times things get poor ratings because people don't understand them, don’t get the significance, or are unable to suspend disbelief or follow subtleties in specific ways that I find really easy to do.

    And a lot of times I dislike things because of plot holes that others don't seem to notice.

    Like I really enjoyed the soap-opera-ness of another life, you just have to ignore the bizarre motivations people have for their over-the-top reactions. Apparently that’s not a prevailing view. It has pretty bad reviews.

  • Interest

    Jump

  • I interviewed for one place where they asked about a “gap” (and yeah my resume is just full of gaps due to mostly working contracts, so oh well I’m used to those conversations). The one they were asking about was literally while I was in school, getting my degree. So I told her as much, thinking that would be the end of it per usual.

    But no, she followed up with “right, but didn’t you have a job while you were in college? Didn’t you DO anything?”

    Bitch, college WAS my fucking job, I took it seriously so I could graduate my STEM program with honors (as an unmedicated AuDHD). I was attending classes year-round, lived very frugally, and had GI Bill to cover it, so why would I work?

    She continued to press it after I gave her the interview-appropriate version of the paragraph above, I have no idea why. I concluded the interview with something like “I don’t want to work for a company that cares this much that I didn’t have a job when I was going to school full time, didn’t need one, and wanted to focus on furthering my career. Good luck finding someone with no self-respect, since that’s what you seem to be looking for.”

  • It depends heavily where it is. Some of the programs are very very good, others are corrupt af.

    The best ones give the people living in proximity to the animals recourse when said animals destroy crops or property. This plus giving back a portion of the fees to help community enrichment projects incentivizes protection of the animals by the locals, which deters poaching and stuff.

  • Sorry to not address the bulk of your comment, but overneath is a fascinating word, for someone interested in languages and the process of foreign language learning specifically. It’s entirely understandable, but not a real word as far as I can tell. I’m interested in being corrected here, for sure. Seems theres a company by that name but thats all I was able to find.

    Normally in this context you'd see overtop, overhanging, covering, above, over, something like that, but overneath makes total sense too, due to underneath and beneath being words with the widespread definition of under.

    I did find that ‘neath’ is a shortening of beneath which means under, and under obviously means under, so underneath is technically redundant and means “under under”. And overneath would actually mean over under, which is itself kinda fun, because of how understandable it was in context. :D

  • water sex is only appealing in theory cause in practice it’s dry af (oh the irony)

  • You just need silicone lube. You have to wash that off with soap. Works very nicely.

    Also a dream for shaving your nethers, as again it doesn't wash off easily.

  • It's a fucking mystery

  • I only had this problem after upgrading my bed to a pillowtop and using sheets that fit my old standard mattress. It was entirely solved by buying the correct sheets for my mattress.

    Deep pocket fitted sheets for thick mattress. Done and done.
