  • Great setup! It feels so good to have a such a big head-start on the growing season!

    You’ll be feeling extra great when it comes time to plant in the ground and your starts are further along than anything you could have purchased or grown from seed right when the season starts.

    Post progress pics later!



  • I just wanted to say thank you for having the most insightful response in the thread.

    I spent most of my day today moving everything around outside my home.

    I’m pacifist and an environmentalist.

    I like to think of myself the same.

    I’ve live trapped, death trapped, stomped, killed, purposefully and accidentally killed lots of mice.

    And I’ve had to do the same here. It sucks… the place I live currently is incredibly remote and it’s a constant battle keeping critters out of my home. It’s wonderful to be able to be surrounded by so much natural beauty, but it gets infuriating when it’s within my space. And this year seems to be the worst since I’ve lived here.

    I’ll spend more time in the next couple weeks before the cold rain and snow hits patching up holes and moving things around. Thanks again for your insight!




  • Nothing as profound as what you described there…
    But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

    I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
    But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

    Phenomenal fucking game

    Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

    I might need to go find the ROM now…

    **Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
    That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game

    Words really can’t describe how weird it seems that you feel the need to create and moderate communities for every US presidential candidate.

    You do not seem even remotely engaged enough politically to moderate ONE electoral candidate’s group, let alone every single one, even across party lines.

    Are you trying to set the stage for astroturfing? Do you have a fetish for the negative attention this is bringing you? Or is it some weird control issue? Either way, this is all sus as fuck …



  • Like clockwork, every year. Usually happens 2 or 3 weeks both before and after the winter solstice.

    I try to make sure I’m getting plenty of vitamin D. And I try to make sure I’m getting outside for a bit everyday. Exercise helps a lot too - anything that’ll get your blood flowing and heart pumping.

    I also make a rule for myself that I’m not allowed to make any big decisions or big commitments during that time of year because the depression can cloud my judgement. Not making commitments is hard with the holidays tho, so if I have to I also leave myself a way out of them if needed. I’ve become an expert at giving a “definite maybe” in response to commitments lol
