It's so interesting how different plants cause issues for different people. I really like monsteras of all kinds but can't maintain a peace lily to save my life.

I cut back my adansoniis regularly and usually propagate the cuttings with leaves in water and the bare sticks in perlite.
I change the water weekly and rinse the roots whenever I do to keep them from getting slimy. Perlite I spray almost daily, or cover it to trap moisture if I'm not able to tend to it regularly. Cuttings can rot if left covered, but sometimes I get to discover a jungle in a forgotten propagation box after a few months.

After I can see decent roots, I pot the cuttings up and keep the soil lightly damp for a week or two until they acclimate.
I haven't noticed much difference when propagating variegated adansonii, but some of the mints are slower to regrow.

Joking is a way to cope, though.

I love my baby dearly and would never do anything to harm her. I still regularly joke with other parents about posting a "baby for sale" sign outside my house. It helps me deal with the lack of sleep, poopsplosions, and, more recently, nipple-bites.

Humour is a reasonably mature coping method, and thought crime should never be a thing.

I honestly don't know know enough about a Manson connection to have an informed opinion.

Unfortunately I find that after Amber Heard, I'm more likely to need some supporting evidence or corroboration in any celebrity cases to feel comfortable expressing a view in any direction.

As I said, please go and watch nothing but Amber's own words in the trial. They're readily available on YouTube.

I had no interest in the case before I was fully wiped out by covid for several weeks and ended up watching the entire trial. I don't have an opinion on on the two of them as actors and I don't follow Hollywood anything, really. I hadn't even heard of the whole thing before my sister suggested watching the opening statements when I complained about not having the energy to do anything but rot.

It's a little sad, in my opinion, that leftist spaces are so heavily against any critical view of this case. I have no problem with believing victims and taking immediate steps to protect them. But when majority of the evidence points to her words being outright lies, I struggle to reconcile that with a world-view based on critical thinking.

If all neutral (as in unconnected to either one of the parties) witnesses give an extremely different account than one party, wouldn't you conclude that that person is not being truthful?

He actually did not. Out of the two of them, Amber was found to be liable for defamation for her accusations. Depp was found liable for his lawyer's words on specific facts about whether or not police were called a second time in a specific incident where Depp was not present, and no injuries were documented by the police.

Depp lost a defamation suit against the Sun for calling him a wife beater, because the judge found it to be enough due diligence for the Sun to have believed Amber.
In that trial, Amber was a witness not a party, and as such did not need to go through an adverse process or submit to rigorous cross-examination. Yet she still submitted, I think, seven iterations of her written testimony, because it kept having parts of it fully disproven by other witnesses or proven facts. Due to the different system in the UK, that was apparently fine.
I'm not well versed in the Sun/Depp case, because it was not a public casem and all I've seen are a few court documents. The Depp/Heard trial is available on YouTube and I recommend just watching Amber's testimony to anyone who is too busy to watch several weeks of trial. Her own words were plenty to disillusion me, at the very least.

Don't two of these people have multiple accusers across some amount of time, while one has a disgruntled ex-wife, who was found liable for defamation for her claims?

I had covid during the Depp-Heard trial and ended up watching the whole thing. I recommend watching both of Amber's testimonies to anyone who feels like believing the mainstream media narrative on the entire spectacle. Nothing dispels belief in her accusations quite as quickly as watching her recount her story.

I haven't the faintest. I don't think I've changed any settings since I downloaded the app.

I'm also using voyager, and the picture is perfectly visible to me.

This kind of black-and-white thinking is holding back so much positive change in the world.
Yes, any amount of alcohol is worse for your health than none, but being mindful of your consumption is still better than getting plastered every weekend.

That's fair. Although, I don't think getting laid necessarily makes people more empathetic either.

[–] Suru@mander.xyz 15 points 3 months ago (3 children)

I don't think reformed incels are particularly more likely to show empathy to anyone than your average non-incel.

But it is a federation for the sport American football. I know there are teams for it all over, but it's still American football they're playing, not just football. For example, Finnish national American football team. There's also a national football team who do not play American football.

 

I have two types of pictures on my phone: blurry pup, and peacefully sleeping pup.
