This isn’t reddit; we don’t have a host of frothing-at-the-mouth pendants. You don’t have to label stuff for the most part.

The only real no-no people will jump down your throat about is posting AI stuff (unintentionally or not).

I was going to say Gibson. he’s slowly making a comeback though. Here’s hoping he took a long look at himself in the mirror

I’m with the other commentator - you sound young. Nothing wrong with that, but our brains don’t fully form until 27.

When I turned 27, the pop of me pulling my head out of my ass was heard by rural farmers in India. I’m now 40, and I wish I knew now what I knew then, so badly.

This is a very long winded way to say, don’t paint yourself into a corner with dislike of formal education. Figure out what it’s about it that you don’t like and work to find a way to address or at least cope with it. Online courses are fine to learn things but they aren’t widely recognized by employers, should you wish to work.

One of the things I learned and pass on to my mentees is that it’s often the experience we don’t like that’s the most valuable. That doesn’t mean suffer unnecessarily, but if you are in a tough spot learn what you can from it. In my case, I hated working with contactors, but that work is what got me a much better job where I’m home all the time.

Think about the best version of yourself and what that looks like. What are the major goals you need to meet to get there? What are those goals broken down into? How do you know if you met your smaller goals? Your objective (best version) is met though sequential steps and measurable progress

I suppose, but I also smell subsoil for the presence of hydrocarbons, soo…

Not just archies, like another commentator points out, but Geo’s and pedologists too

In soil science we sometimes put soil in our mouth to determine between silt and clay or silt and fine sand

My mom guilts me over not maintaining a better relationship with my brother, but he will never ever call or text first, despite the fact we used to be really close.

She wants us to have that again, but we are both adults now and my duty of looking out for my kid brother is done. He can make his own choices and I’m always happy to talk to him.

I like the moss effect on the tree ;)

As I’ve said before: if it’s a good meme, I’m posting it. That’s the extent of it. I’m not playing AI sleuth just to make a handful of people happy.

I generally dislike AI and AI images but it’s getting harder to tell. I don’t have the time or the desire to look deeper into memes I find.

Comments about AI slop, while valid, are really unoriginal. I invite you to recreate the meme for me of it bothers you that much. Be the change or something… I’ll happily post it with an non-ai image if you leave it in the comments. Otherwise, i’d appreciate it if you refrained from complaining about it due to the repetitive nature of the comments.

Idk if it’s AI Tate.

Yeah the papers been heavily discredited, but people like putting themselves in boxes with labels. Just look at myer Briggs

isn’t that bottom frame AI?

I’m the polar opposite. People are obstacles, the objectives are on the grocery list, and I must get them as quickly as possible.

I get progressively more stressed if I can’t find things, and the longer it takes to find them.

Yeah…

This horseshit. I dedicated mine to my partner and married her afterwards.

If this is the kind of stuff the prof is sending in writing I can only imagine the kind of bullshit the are pulling in person and with everything else.

I would be complaining to the dean.

I’d call you a salmonologist but that’s semantics almost

Hi, is this still available?

This is green washing no matter how you slice it. While it’s an interesting idea, artificial refugia, like bat boxes or these balls, have to be very carefully designed so they don’t have one of these negative outcomes:

• Act as a trap for the targeted species with regards to predators
• Kill the target species - often through thermal extremes
• Just don’t get used by the target species

There’s some good work about this on (fuck, fine rummaging for paper) Australian quolls

I actually reached out to Cowan to asks a few questions. He was pumped that we were citing his work and using it in reclamation planning as landscape enchantments.

Anyway, artificial refugia should, at best, be viewed as a temporary fix, or a way to layer habitat on the landscape, never a full substitution.

Your nuts are also full of microplastics

I’m with you, but I’m not paying full pop for a 25 year old game. The nostalgia factor gives us rose coloured glasses. Things took a pretty sharp downturn by Patch 1.10 - things got weird - you could, for instance, get a rune word that would turn you into a werewolf, even if you weren’t a druid, and that kind of broke the game in my opinion. a lot of those weird rune words just turned players into weird walking data sheets.

If it freezes on the way down does it become a snowcone?

You get it. scratches arm It’s not an addiction, I can stop whenever I want!
