Where do I sign up?

My houseplants are almost all succulents and I really like terracotta/clay pots, the really standard kind they have at most hardware stores:

The terracotta will let the excess water evaporate if I’ve over watered.

I get my own apartment??? Boy howdy.

It’s pretty fucked up to burn ants.

I wasn’t going to reply because I didn’t think it was productive but I’ve had three replies totally misunderstanding what I meant by “it’s a comic”.

The person I was replying to seemed to think it was clear the american was white. As it is a comic, it is very open to interpretation.

I understand I was wrong - I saw another comic with this character being referred to as white and doing something hella racist but all of these replies are totally misunderstanding me.

We have curb side recycling and organics pickup (although I compost most of it at home) and they will fuck up the recycling for fun or if there is even the slightest amount of residue. I rinse out soda cans :(

Guy, it’s a cartoon

I think it is also specifically racist, implying that the black character didn’t know her father.

Oh yeah I live in the country, it would be a disaster if I did that 😬

I don’t know what that is but I would believe it was sentient.

I lost this shirt for like a year but found it today. It was in the pile of unmatched socks.

It’s a men’s large and is basically a dress on me but I have midcentruy design autism.

I was going to say being susceptible to interruptions isn’t just an ADHD thing but I forget I am AuDHD sometimes lol.

I keep trying to build a good morning routine but then garbage day happens and it’s lost for the week lmao.

Land back is such a useful tool to decide if someone sucks or not

Palm trees will never stop being awe inspiring to me lol

I haven’t tried it but it looks like you got lots of good responses. I need to start garlic in the fall in my climate so I don’t think I would have success with bulbs in pots unless I insulated them well.

I agree with this.

Outside of the reasoning OP gave, some people just aren’t that into sex, some people like it but it isn’t the main way they connect with their partner, etc. So long as both people are on board with this approach and it’s not one person “putting up with it” then I struggle to find downsides.

I’ve been with my partner for 15 years (married for 10 if the marriage thing feels critical to people) and so long as attraction is there I think it’s absolutely possible to learn to care for each other’s needs, just the way you do for any other thing in life.

Lol today in therapy I got told I need to let go of the expectation of this not happening.

No.

Hell yeah I love equating a woman’s value with how attractive she is to an individual.

(I lied, I find it most objectionable to quantify peoples worth)

Do you understand that I am the person who removed the post? Why are you are arguing with me about why I did it?

The only reason I am continuing to reply is to make sure that anyone else who comes across this thread is clear that removed the post because of the reasons I have previously stated:

The content itself did not belong here - that’s pretty straight forward I hope.

I do not want this community to be a platform for people’s conflict with another instance. - The individual who makes these cross posts has a link in their profile about why they do it, and it is because of the conflict they have with the instance. This behaviour is damaging to this community because it is not genuine engagement. It is a vehicle for their conflict.

I don’t know why people are treating me like I’m not well aware of this user, the way he uses the platform, and also that the individual you named in your comment is not a fan. It’s insulting.

My personal opinion on this is largely irrelevant but I will share this: I think the emphasis on engagement metrics is harmful to the kind of communities I want to belong to and it annoys me when I encounter it.

Anyone is welcome to share their experiences with nature, but that behavior is not.

My comment to you was to not bring your conflict into this community, which you did by insulting another user. I did not suggest you were bringing a conflict with another instance with your comment.

The text of my post did refer to a conflict with another instance. Based on your comment, I assume you are referring to the removed post. You can see my reason for removal on the post.

The conflict that was brought into the community was the decision to cross post from a community of a similar name from a different instance for the purpose of causing this content to be available outside of the original instance. The user who does this has expressed that they are doing this because of conflict they have with that instance. Such cross posts are not genuine engagement with this community and are not welcome here. Even if the cross posts were in the spirit of the community I would remove them.

You and the user who had their post removed are welcome to engage in the spirit of the community through your own posts but I am not interested in having this space be a platform for all this.

I hope everything is now clear.
