Is anybody else having an awful time with their veggies this summer? My peppers dropped all their flowers. I only got 2 puny peppers in the last two months its madness. Yes I water regularly and fertilize high phosphorus blend. Last year I had so many peppers i didn't know what to do with them all. (Is it possibly because i overwintered them?)

Or is it really because of El Nino? We got a lot of rain and its actually been a pretty tolerable summer. I'm in zone 9a. I just dont get it.

Yeah explain the male loneliness epidemic then? Why males dump millions of dick pics on women who don't want them and avoid them like the plague? You guys are so angry dating for women is like getting it from a swamp, while dating for men is like getting it from a desert, but i mean its no surprise why that is, stop acting like you are

Oh you care
Thats why you can't stop posting here for attention

He's quite the distinguished gentleman. I can't say I've ever seen a dog with a coat quite like that.

I had a spider. Always thought they were interesting. My family hated it and I kept it for a week and my mom got paranoid and told me if it got out it could lay eggs or something stupid I thought that would have been cool if it actually did

I started writing a message to congratulate you on the pregnancy but now I have to erase everything 😭
I don't really know what to tell you, his reaction is weird on many levels. Doesn't he want grand kids ? I was about to tell you that some people love their children differently, but once again that was before reading your post until the end.
I really can't explain that reaction. Maybe he hates the father ? I'm just trying to think of any excuse beside "unsensitive psycho", this is concerning

In any case it's really important for you to surround yourself with supportive, non-toxic people. Look in your in-laws, friends or colleagues (not a big fan of the latter but hey)

Your Dad is gay.

my dad is 100% biological but that doesn't prevent him from acting like he hates me

Cut off all relations to both and forget them

have you ever tried asking him directly

The USA is a bankrupt warmongering police state, but nothing will change because Americans think everything is just fine.

>Phones are why nobody have kids anymore
I doubt it. I would say the cost of life, in particular housing cost are the major factor. It cost 3 time more hours of work for us to buy a home than it did for our parents.
The culture is a big thing as well. When every media tell you that it's cool and rebel to not have kids, obviously it play a role.

The quality of our social interactions is also a factor but screens are only one of the cause of that.

I remember watching math related content like this when I was younger Idk why I stopped

I wish we could debug the human brain. That would be so cool and scifi.

Apparently we’re now making lab grown brains now and organic robots. Sick.

people cling to those they find similar or align with their values

Freedom of speech implies some freedom from consequences, namely from the government. Otherwise it isn’t free speech.

>Salient events are an attentional mechanism by which organisms learn and survive; those organisms can focus their limited perceptual and cognitive resources on the pertinent (that is, salient) subset of the sensory data available to them.
i saw someone describe schizos as having deep plunges of information that they can't pull their brains out of fast enough, almost like cliffs that their consciousness dives into & gets caught. whereas normal people have plunges that they don't get stuck inside of. i think it was shown to me in a kind of graph demonstration, and i don't know if it was even close to an accurate elucidation, but interesting nonetheless, and this made me think of that. overvaluing signals against their will. must be torture

I have an excel spreadsheet full of hundreds of words I read that I didn't know or that I think sound nice. Recent additions:

Rankle
Sodality
Élan
Diffidence

I find it's easier to remember if you think about their etymology. E.g. undulate has "und—" as the root, which means wave iirc. It's related to words like inundate and, more obviously, undulant. Not related to ululate at all, but looks similar.

Riverine and forestine, both adjectives for river and forest respectively incase it wasn't obvious

One thing worse than living in a police state is finding out that no one cares.

Overpriced and not worth it unless youre going into some specific field that needs it. I dropped out 3semesters in and started a business with my dad

Can I ask what type of business? Cause it's the same story with uni here as well.

Expensive, but the loans aren't predatory. The learning and effort curve are pretty steep, so first year is a dawdle, second year is difficult, and you feel totally unprepared for third year. Thankfully it levels out for fourth and Masters.

Having student organisations is nice for some, but they're focused around interests as they relate to degrees, so I feel like they're not social for anyone outside that specific field. Plenty of STEM degrees just don't have any reason to have a club presence, so you get groups like comp-sci who are a collection of all sorts of nerds, but they tend to naturally exclude anyone who isn't highly tech-literate. Most after-class socialising being at the campus pub is nice and casual, but it makes day-drinking appear normal, and encourages people who might not drink to start.

There's way too much support for students struggling academically, but nothing for those who struggle socially; a huge barrier for entry to the really helpful stuff. Private chats where people post everything from rumours and tips about the course, all the way to answers and guidance on assignments, are locked behind being in the cool-kid's club. You can't get an invite unless you know the right people, and unless you're willing to put yourself out there, are able to make friends with the fun attractive people who cheat, become willing to day-drink and go to clubs etc. you'll never get in. The best you can do is be friendly with someone in the know who might share with you some important details every so often.

It's quirky and fun and not that serious!

I had professors saying things like "it's useless for women to get a degree, it will go to waste" out loud and having a dismissive attitude towards female students, and no, nobody cared
now I remember this every time I witness moids crying about being oppressed
