Four seasons the old fashioned way when people were complaining about a long winter and short summer. I think those people are wrong and it saddens me that global warming made their wish reality

Shit, you made the same comment I had in mind but worded it way better

I’m going to lightly disagree with most of the comments in this post. The states (likely the world) is getting ready for a big transition. I don’t think that’s something that can (or should tbh) be ignored. As in, cutting yourself off from the news completely isn’t a realistic way to get closer to that peace you’re looking for. I think the way to keep the dread from consuming you is to know that you’re doing your part in countering bad actors.

That doesn’t mean you have to become a freedom fighter or a protest organizer. I like what the guy with the goats was talking about in connecting with his community. Or you can volunteer with an organization that brings food to the homeless or whatever. Maybe start a community garden (or edible forest). Something big or small that helps you feel you’re making the world a better place even just in your own little piece of it, even if you limit to a day or two each week.

Then the bad news becomes a little easier to cope with. Because even though you’re never going fix the world by yourself (that can only happen collectively), at least you know you’re doing what you can to help. At least for me, that helps the noise quiet down enough to take the time to get lost in a book or something.

Analyze after the fact. I just try to convince myself I’m wrong about things and hopefully I’m not successful the majority of the time. Think about any specific situation I feel I need to, and compare how I acted with how I would want to act. It’s an active maintenance process that means hopefully i have more interactions that line up with what’s desired. More than if I just allowed myself to act entirely on instinct

This is the best answer !fuckcars

Plenty of good real solutions in the comments here. My creative solution is to add a feature to everyone’s phone that automatically will FaceTime them with someone also on their phone in the area. You can’t turn it off, you can only add people to your default list. No guarantee they’re who you connect to though.

Either kill himself or get arrested for loitering and sent to prison to become a slave. At least that’s the plan in the states.

I vote we rename this comm to “infuriating” and have people bring their own adjectives to their post

This is kind of a bad question for this comm, but not a horrible idea for a pinned post

Something that would generate unique and interesting answers

Any better material that would allow my custom shape? (Schematic in another comment, and I’m going to add it to the post)

End unit of a townhouse style condo. Should I not bury it at all? But I’d still have to level out the ground because of the slope? Shorten its life by how long? Does that change at all if I’m looking at plywood? I’m aware of the prep and substrates, I just wanted the dirt as the top layer before the stones to support the moss. Or am I that much better off using some kind of square shape and dropping the moss idea?
