me: ooh, should i think about planting a pawpaw trees?

me, two minutes later: “should smell like meat”? 😭

Thank you for looking out for your local feline friends. It takes a special person to win over a skittish cat.

Respect

That’s awful, I’m sorry that happened to you. Take care of yourself and your mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder is no joke.

That poor peacock gudgeon looks so confused about why they can’t also eat the worms. Straight up staring at them through the glass of the feeding dish 😂

What a damn classic. My spouse and I were just laughing about it earlier.

“All right, Hugh. Next scene: you gotta hack your heart out.”

“You mean ‘act,’ yeah?”

“Sure. Frenetic hacking scene, Take One.”

“???”

Plus tons of things eat those bacteria, then become food for someone else. How long do the PFASes persist in the bodies of organisms that consume them or the things that eat those critters? If/when they break down, how do those compounds interact with those organisms, or living tissue, or the surrounding environment? I have a lot of questions about this, but sure, the science is neat.

preciate you, doug

Sorry, sorry! Legislators are on vacation. There’s absolutely nothing that can be done, sorry. Outta my hands. What can you do, right?

ugh

Look, I just read the articles as they’re written and point out the interesting pieces that don’t fit in the headline. You got issues with Japan’s finance system, that’s something you should take up with the author, not the interested fucking reader. Christ on a cracker, hobbyless behavior

The plot thickens: transfers can generally be reversed, pulling the money back from a recipient. No reversal was initiated. The crowdfunding platform instead told the dev that they were waiting for the recipient to pay back the money they’d mistakenly received and signed a memo guaranteeing full funding two weeks after the issue first came up. Guess what didn’t materialize two weeks after the issue first came up?

FREE JEFF!

I don’t care. I came for the music and I’m fucking staying for the music AND THE MEMES

USA! USA! USA! We did it everybody! Once again, victory comes as easy as a homemade, baked-from-scratch, double-crust, lattice top apple pie made by the housekeeper I hired illegally and continue to pay slave wages to by threatening to report them for deportation. What, I’m contributing to the local tax base because they pay sales tax on the stuff they buy, you should be thanking me!

/s because it’s important

I have Tidal and like it a lot. It’s a service designed for people who love to listen to or make music to share. If you’d like help making the community playlist available on Tidal, I can spare some time.

Touche! I’m gonna put this on the “…AND ANOTHER THING!!!” list if you’re cool with it

Assuming you’re a student, have you ever tried to write up a lab report from multiple arguments using the same experiment? It’s a fun exercise in the potential for politics in science because it shows how you can capture and use the same data to argue diametrically opposing points.

Not Muslim here, but I struggled with rationalizing taking an easier way to get what I wanted. Intention matters: are you borrowing it until you can afford to buy it, and do you follow through? Or are you “borrowing” it until you get bored with it and don’t feel it’s worth the honor anymore? It basically came down to me having to look at how honest I was willing to be with myself in order to get what I wanted.

Halal and haram encourage Muslims to hold themselves accountable to a standard of behavior, right? They’re there as signals for the right thing to do, but you’re the only one who can hold yourself accountable over the things you do that nobody else knows about. What do your own values tell you, versus the values of the people around you? How have those values been influenced by your religious beliefs? How important are your religious beliefs to you? How much deviation from religious laws are you willing to accept from yourself? How about secular or regional laws? Being honest with your answers will help you see your best way through, even if they’re not what others would want you to choose.
