Covid cases at my college are up over 300% in the last week and the dean is just blaming students and not actually changing procedure at all
It'd be funny if people weren't going to dieYelling at militarized cops has been so empowering that nothing else I encounter in my day to day seems that stressful any more.
Love scrolling through Facebook and getting an ad for my rare autoimmune disorder. Really love that
Don't worry so much. My rescue succulent I saved and nursed back from the brink insists on growing sideways along the ground, no matter where I put it's sun. It seems happy...but it is an odd life choice tiny plant.
Let it do it’s thing, eventually they wander off and create a web in the corner of your ceiling, nature is crazy
Depends on how hot/dry/sunny where you keep them is, and I've noticed it can vary a bit by plant and also with the maturity of the plant. I have a shitload at home, now lining most of my windowsills (use them as natural blinds). Even though they're all propagated from the same plant (or 1 generation removed), they definitely aren't uniform in their growth and reactions to light/water.
I saw an uptick in growth and baby offshoots when I started watering a little less and started spraying them 1-2x/week with a fine mist. Have you tried spritzing them?
spider plant
you can pot them. Remind me to take pics of the two I have outside on my porch in pots. (I transitioned both from indoors fully to outdoors for the summer; plan on bringing them back in over winter)
Like others have said -- they're pretty robust. One was so infested with fungus gnats that I cut it back to soil, threw sand over it entirely and sat it under a lamp in my room and within a week or two new growth was making headway out of the sand.
You may have heard that the AR in AR-15 stands for "assault rifle," but did you know the "15" is because the bullets are 15 inches long
Precarity baby, ya gotta love it. Also I know you’re Australian, the idea of living long term somewhere here is almost a joke. I’ve been at my current place like 2 years? They’re gonna have to drag me out.
Also it’s so funny, allowing people to settle in one place and own a home is literally a prime avenue for creating conservative voters, but rich people are too greedy to even think that far ahead.
Honestly same, I've had at least 6 landlords in the last 10 years, just an endless cycle of: going to place with low rent - rent increases/gentrification occurs - move to new area with low rent.
Question: how do you date people during a pandemic as a leftist? Like do I have any hope to meet anyone
If you find out please share. The only way seems to be online dating, but dating apps blow chunks.
I was hoping to date more this year but it's been pretty lonely with COVID.
Oh shit that sucks ass. I’m sorry that would be difficult to watch happen I think
Unless you're living in a heavily affected area and are in lockdown, I feel like meeting another person isn't too bad. It's a risk, but so is shopping and working. Meet outside, go for a walk, keep your distance and if it feels right, just do your thing. If you're not dating 15 people a week, you're fine. Your emotional needs need to be filled as well and you have to make that judgement yourself.
As for getting to know people in the first place... Online dating is your friend. Tinder isn't great, but it works.
Question: do people who use online dating put their political views in their profiles or is that just weird? And I’ll probably have to wait a bit in my area to see. It’s a college town but they went virtual right before they planned on in person. Still quite a few parties I’ve driven by but hopefully stopping in person classes helped a little
Deep leftist in jokes in your profile. Always make sure they get it before you give it is my motto.
Depends. Lefties often do and are, surprisingly very vocal about their beliefs. A subtle "Fuck racism, fuck capitalism, ACAB" goes a long way. If you are looking for men as a woman, you're gonna get a million likes on any app either way, so just look for people that fit you. I'm personally not opposed to dating some normie-liberals and get into prolonged discussions about economics and capitalism on my first date, so your results may vary.
Apps like OkCupid ask more deeply about your beliefs and you can filter pretty successfully for leftists.
I've been having coffee dates via webcam.
But my dating life is mostly on pause. Even when I met someone new it was like... okay I guess I'll ask you out when there's a vaccine?
They are sometimes, other times you find out someone can't hold a conversation over webcam.
I also haven't tried it with anyone new. Still would recommend if you have like... existing slow burn flames that might go somewhere later.
U have to watch news2share live feed on facebook. Like 12 protesters are busting the pigs balls guarding DC mayor's house. It's hilarious.
When's the best time to host a watch party with this community? If I have a decent handle on the demographics here, I think 11:00 PM GMT / 4:00 PM PDT / 9:00 AM the next day AEST? So probably that on Saturday (Sunday down under)?
Context: @ScreamoBMO has reminded me that the Spirit Science Human History Movie exists and is a thing that some of you haven't watched. It's a surprisingly well-produced hour-long video of a guy explaining his completely off the wall gonzo worldview that encorporates every classic conspiracy theory and new age belief I've heard of, and an absolute riot to watch with friends.
Anything within +/- 5 hours of what I posted is equally good according to the chart, but I think publicly asking people is going to be more accurate than trying to use posting times as a proxy for peak availability times.

You think? I say if you like her, just give it a go (but only once, obviously). Happened to me in the past, embarrassing as fuck when it didn't work out but still stayed friends. If you're honest about being fine with just friends then you really don't have much to lose. Just be chill with it and not creepy, and if it goes to shit and she still wants you as a friend it'll all be fine.
Alright, I'm not a relationship expert, but I would say just keep being her friend. Suggest to her you do something that's kind of datey, but still friend enough that it's casual and there isn't so much pressure. If things go well, maybe take that instance to ask her out some time again. Or you could just say you like her, idk.
