  • People who have permanently moved to another country, what gave you the opportunity and was it worth it?

  • Are you still teaching English or did you manage to get out and do something else? My understanding of English teaching in Asia is that it's a bit of a career trap.

  • You only need to plant sorrel in your garden once. It's the ultimate volunteer crop. Quite winter-hardy too, and perennial, plus it tastes like lemon. Halfway between an herb and a green.

  • Yeah but this is Daily Beast; calling out the DT administration (albeit in click-bait ways) is their shtick.

  • I know about razor bumps and I don't mean to make it out to be a total non-issue; my problem is with the headline and byline, which seem to make light of what was actually a deeply disturbing speech. "Look at this idiot, ranting about beards, much ado about nothing, don't even bother reading about what he said, it was just stupid fluff, shoulda been an email lol!" is not the message that the media needs to tell the public when both Hegseth and Trump made several horrifying, fascism-escalating statements today. (And let's be real, most people don't actually read the articles, so burying the lede like this is functionally similar to not reporting on it at all.)

  • His comment about beards is iterally the least problematic/newsworthy part of his speech. Why the fuck would you focus on this and not, I don't know, his straight outta 1984 "war is peace" statement? Extreme journalistic malpractice.

  • Darwin was also born into wealth and could spend his life studying whatever piqued his interest. Do you have the funds to spend five years circumnavigating the globe studying cool wildlife? Because I sure as fuck don't.

  • EDIT: I get it, the consensus is that this is incorrect. I retract my statement.

    Surprised no one has said this yet:

    This happens when you put zip-up clothing in the dryer. The fabric shrinks and shifts but the metal/plastic zipper doesn't, creating a size mismatch that results in a bulge. Hang-dry your zip-up hoodies instead. I have hoodies that are close to a decade old and still haven't begun to bunch up because they've never seen the inside of a dryer.

  • Obligatory plug for self-heal (prunella vulgaris)! It's a perennial member of the mint family that produces pretty purple flowers that (according to my amateur observations) native bumblebees too large for clover can still enjoy! The plant is native to most (all?) of the northern hemisphere, and is unfortunately categorized as a weed by most lawn purists, which is actually just a testament to its hardy nature. Self-heal normally grows to about 1'-2' tall, but can also handle regular mowing and some foot traffic, just like clover, making it a great lawn additive or border plant.

  • I'm just trying to come to terms with my trauma, can the world, I don't know, improve with me or something instead of getting worse?

    Jump

  • It's difficult being a millennial and trying to confront the nostalgic feeling (that naturally comes with aging) that "things were better in my youth," because things objectively were better in my youth.

  • Janeway: would have had the filter off initially because she trusted her crew to exhibit perfect decorum even without it, immediately switched it on once the Maqui joined, then flipped it off again sometime later (specific ep recommendations anyone?) because she didn’t gaf anymore.

    Sisko: considered turning it off but opted to leave it on to reduce bar brawls at Quark’s. Turned it off on the Defiant.

    Picard: on, but removed “damn” from the censorship list, as a little treat.
