  • I get my pots from thrift stores and garage sales. A lot of time it’s just pottery that’s not meant to be for plants, but it usually works. It’s usually pretty easy to drill a hole or two in the bottom to let excess water drip out.

    I usually put regular plates under the pots to catch the excess water, also usually collected from thrift stores and garage sales. I try to collect interesting ones when I can, but I also just have some in bulk for when I need a bunch.

    For the plants themselves I often grab clippings from people I know if they have something I like. They usually like sharing. If I’m looking for something specific I’ll usually buy seeds online.




  • I wake up at 5 for my workout simply because I’m a morning person, and I like getting it out of the way first thing. It’s also a nice, calm time, which helps me rest more effectively between reps. Plus I’m still half asleep when I start, so I skip over the feelings of “I don’t want to do this,” since I’m already doing it by the time I’m awake enough to have those thoughts.




  • Yeah, we like to glorify individuals, but just about every big endeavor, both good and bad, comes from people working together. An organization like Epstein’s Island was big enough that it definitely had more people running it than just the 2 big players we know about. Someone from upper management seized the reins and has things running smoothly again by now, I’m sure. We shouldn’t be acting like things have been halted - there’s still a lot of work to be done to save the victims of the wealthy.




  • It felt like they were trying to pack so much symbolism in that it all got too convoluted, and I rarely understood what exactly was going on. I could tell that they were trying to say something profound, but it felt like an artist trying to make a realistic painting with fingerpaint - the medium just didn’t suit the message. But maybe it was just over my head.

    Never understood this. I dick around while baking all the time. I pretty much never follow the recipe, and just throw whatever in in whatever amount I feel like. Sometimes things get weird, but usually it turns out alright with just a bit of extra flour or water to get the consistency right.

    Cooking on the other hand… As far as I can tell, meat goes from raw to tough as nails in about 3 seconds.

    Morality is subjective, and as a result moral condemnation carries no weight to anyone but those who already agree with the condemnation. Condemnation isn’t meant to directly change the behavior of those who disagree, it’s meant to spur those who agree into taking action to combat what they view as immoral.
