watering it well and then putting it in a cloche like pic related or something to keep humidity in might work but I'm not a plant expert. I have a couple small plants in a plastic display case cuz they like it humid and I have to water them like 1/10 as often as the rest of mine that just sit on a shelf

My Trichocereus macrogonus var. pachanoi is spawning a new offshoot.

>away for a few weeks
Give someone your key and ask them to water your plants. Put sticky notes on the pots, so the person knows how much to give. Apply a generous amount of water before leaving. Message the person in charge to remind them of their duty or bring your plant to them. Reward good care with a basket of fruits.

No, I feel miserable. The hangover is insane and I have a meeting in a few hours.

I probably couldn't give any "tips", because I only ever buy local IPAs made by the brewery in my town. The only thing I'd say is that bitter is the normal, don't go for the drinks that advertise themselves as super juicy or sweet, that's not what IPAs are supposed to be. You'll have to adjust to the flavor, just like any other drink. If you can't handle black coffee, you probably can't handle normal IPAs. Also, it's normal for your shit to smell like chemicals after IPAs.

5% is a good standard drinking ABV, anything above that is dangerous if you're going to have a good few in my experience. 7%+ stuff is likely to lead to blackouts (if we're talking carbonated stuff in cans, whisky and wine doesn't work the same somehow).
Recently had some french apple ciders myself, they're way different than what we get here. Taste more… Natural maybe. Somewhere inbetween white wine and naturally fallen on the ground apples that have that funky fermentation smell about them.

>only ever buy local IPAs made by the brewery in my town
Good stuff, always a positive to support your local fermenters. You never know though, it might have reached here. All brews are local to somewhere. One of my favourite christmas beers was from across the ocean import. Sadly they discontinued it apparently, Anchor Brewing.
>If you can't handle black coffee
Without milk is my standard, only instant coffee that's undrinkable without.

>>22917
Well I won't dox my own city by naming the brewery, but I will recommend my favorite IPA from outside my city, which is Voodoo Ranger. It comes in a lot of flavours and variants, but I stick with the default pale ale in a bottle. Juice force is okay if you like something juicier.

I like hobostobe. A freight train rider who'd do vlogs where he'd ride the rails across the country. Sadly he died a couple years ago. Alcohol and freight hopping don't mix.

Hmmmmmm…..

FLOW is the comfiest…

This post reminded me, as a general heads up to anybody trying to get a BF, don't go overboard trying to get attention from an interest, and be attentive.
Had a girl doing smaller versions of this in school, dropping her eraser in class in my direction (I could see her "dropping" it) and asking to loan my calculator and stuff, trying to catch my attention for a long ass time being very transparent. Had to deal with it for months and she never got the hint that it was because I just wasn't interested. Not that she hadn't succeeded in getting my attention, she was getting it all along which was messing with my school work because half my focus was spent on her. But you can't just walk up to a girl and say hey stop it I'm not into you cause that'd just spark drama and shit, and you never know how vengeful a lady is.

Not to say that girls/dudes/whatever shouldn't go for it, dudes appreciate not being the one to make a move, just don't keep at it for months if you get no flirtation in return.

I can't add much more to this, this is just great life advice. Thanks sushi.

Boys are easy; just be nice and upfront with your desires.

I drive a green alfa romeo and I love it.

I have a bicycle, whether that's cool or not I'll leave up to you

I think Volvo 740 Turbos are cool

>>22324
That's super cool!

I have a Paseo and I like it, but it's probably not cool.
I like simple 90's interiors, especially from Toyota.

I'm just feeling really tired
I know i'm supossed to work
But i feel so distracted

Life feels very empty. It feels as if I can never have what I want.

I'm about to make a big life change, moving across the country for a new job, and so I am a bit anxious about it and if I will be able to perform well. Hope that everything will go well…

>>22836
sounds exciting, good luck!

Did I write this? I don't know a single other person who would call art a "baka hobby" and also root for the Capitals other than myself.
Anyway, I agree with everything I said here.

Somehow I have had 3 separate office jobs that all gave me essentially nothing to do including my current one. I have no idea how it keeps happening, it's not like I seek out this kind of job and if anything the interviews for 2 of them made them sound like I'd be pretty busy. Somehow they've all seemed pretty happy with me despite me doing nothing 90% of the time, and when I have actively asked for more to do I've mostly been shrugged off.
It's great on days when I can work from home but very boring when I'm in the office with nothing to do all day. It's also made job interviews frustrating as I have much less actual experience and knowledge than someone with my years of work should have so I need to lie and exaggerate a lot.

I'd read, learn chinese, or make things with my hands. I also stared at the female coworkers like a creep.

I remember one job would just have us all push a broom around when there was nothing to do. It was like we were the Hole Digging Club - Hole Filling Club irl. I would just listen to my ipod.

>>22825
This sounds like the dream…

I work at a small business and due to the way we place orders for parts and materials (generally only when we're low on stock or get a large order), I sometimes end up very busy and other times can go several weeks just waiting around with nothing to do. But since it's a small shop and the owner is usually around, I feel like I have to look busy even when I'm just wasting time.

But my first job was filing paperwork after hours and since it was before I got a smartphone, I brought my old gameboy and hid in the small file room playing games. Sometimes I'd stay still for so long the motion-activated lights would turn off.

always loved Garak's cultural exchange moments

You haven't lived until you tried real creme soda

I got to try a pear cardamom artisan soda from France recently, I liked it quite a bit. A mild and complex taste, great for sipping on its own, with no need to mix it. It came in a 1l bottle with a rubber stopper, something I wish all artisan sodas would do.

My dad and I are Monster addicts but otherwise I really just prefer making my own tea or just water.

I miss the good days that haven't started yet. I know the world is capable of changing for the better, I just don't know how and when we'll get there. But its out of my control, but I have feeling that despite how worse things get, eventually they'll get better

I never liked that show but I remember that episode. I remember the chatroom for Dawson from the premier onward.

Ive never been a fan of nostalgia but something changed lately. It hasn't made me look back differently but I have decided on something I'm sad about. Im sad about the reality of 'the direction that shouldn't happen in the future back then' feeling more concrete than an abstract fear, in my present. I am not excited for the future, as people are realizing it is a lot easier to ignore the horrors of the world and focus on the parts of life that enable them to look forward to the next week. I don't like to imagine what the 2030s are going to be like, for… well anyone, in regards to basic human needs like housing and agriculture.
I'm trying to choose life. It's not always easy to die. So adapt and decide to move on. Some of the things that I have loved, have gained their own sadness. But the joy is still there, so it's not all lost. Maybe that's age. I still have so much I want to do, between things that I've either held off or just never decided to try, to brand new things I come scross. I hope adding new things will bring something more into my life, it usually works that way. I find it interesting how the popular nostalgia lens can give growth to communities, rather than disintegration. There's a lot to still enjoy out of today and look forward to. Remakes and updates to certain trends of the past can gain improvements while still being the things they were. For example I've had a renewed interest in making a '90s website for a personal blog. Some people never stopped, but it seems like a thing again since 2020.

I just want to have something in my life, or belong to something, that feels like it will be able to improve going forward. That's difficult currently. It's difficult to believe in something. But I don't want to dwell on the remembrance of things past. I want to be able to fondly remember my future.

And I miss you, bright old days…

not really :)

my life truly feels like a journey that takes twists and turns but i feel like as i have gotten older life has only gotten better. I had a horrible time growing up with my family but now i'm 27, living with my friends, travelling constantly, have a pretty good job doing something I never thought I could do as a real job.

I'm always doing what I want and pushing myself to try new things even if it makes me scared and nervous, and sometimes that does backfire, but I think the times it does work is what makes my life feel so fulfilling.

>>12982
Yes, because my friends and family were all still here but they have moved on doing things for themselves. Which is fine, but sometimes it feels less like life is changing for the better and more that the tides of change are sweeping us in a meaningless direction of adult drudgery.
