Really well done! Please post a pic with light on

It’s Wednesday somewhere, my dude.

In general I believe all online communities are toxic when it comes to political discussion and just enable cult behavior. I think both Facebook and the fediverse have the ability to sway options, but at different capacities.

Facebook is simple and easy to use, and because of that it’s widely adopted and you make connections through people you (kinda sorta) know irl. This leads to a false sense of security and can poison your bubble of connections.

With vote manipulation, whitewash communities, brigading, bots, and general anonymity, the fediverse is not any better equipped to deal with “alternative facts.” It being more niche and less user friendly weeds out some people, and you are left with a user base that has slightly more education and decision making skills…but no one is completely immune to manipulative tactics. Bots with agendas are not always easy to identify and continue getting more refined. It’s easy to lose track of the push & pull if you are chronically online…which many fediverse users are.

I don’t have any solutions other than attempting to educate on how to spot misinformation and approach ideas critically. Even with doing that it’s far for 100% and that number keeps declining with age.

There is a lot to be gained by politically astroturfing, and that is already widespread in the fediverse

The kids may have went too far with this one

Incredible story. Just when you think it’s wrapping up, it keeps going

Edit: iirc Tiffany Sedaris went there, which would kind of explain some of the out bursts & things David would write about…especially in Happy-Go-Lucky.

I both understand and don’t. I can appreciate your ways though. Cheers!

I was taught to read left to right, top to bottom…which is not universal, but pretty common wherever this sign would be relevant

A lot of highs and lows in that list. I’m a huge fan of Inherent Vice and it’s nice to see it included

They stretch like that when they aren’t getting enough light. It looks over watered as well. The soil looks very wet, you will want some that drains better and dial back the waterings a tad.

Thanks! The plants make me happy

Those are Spanish moss and string of pearls. Here’s another pic

This guy is the same. Trots and gallops around like Chris Farley. I love it but my neighbor below doesn’t

They are, but incredibly small. I opted for the seeds instead of seeing what they taste like, but it was very tempting

Thanks! They were hand pollinated. A good grow light is key, and only water when they start shriveling & looking thirsty. Also make sure to use mostly inorganic soil. Once you get them adjusted they really thrive on neglect
