How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • Really? Wow, what part of the world are you in?

    Every Central American I know actively thinks it's gross. In Germany, peanut butter (when you can find it) has a huge American flag on the jar, and most Germans won't eat it.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • Peanut butter is weirdly American, but as an American, I can't believe other countries not only aren't obsessed with PB, but often don't even like it. Wtf world. You're missing out.

  • How about we play, "Never have I ever"?
  • I think it's so cool to see what happens to your brain with the effects of various chemicals. We're so convinced of our own sanctity, and feeling the world differently just disavows you of that in a few minutes.

    I think LSD should be a common coming of age right. We'd all be better off, and better for each other, if we could realize we're each just a tiny blip in the world.

  • Covid origins: Genetic ghosts suggest pandemic started in market
  • I would love to see a picture of that ONE STALL that is thought to have been a hotbed. Whoever runs that stall must be quite a character, too. Golly it's fun to visit markets in new countries.

    Unless... a plausible alternative to my imagination is that it looks like any other open air fresh meat stall, just with more exotic flesh... And if that's the case you can keep your photos.

    But just in case. Anyone?

  • Who did you hate the most?
  • I don't know, Winn stresses me out. I always think DS9 is my favorite until I remember how much I hate Winn, and how much anxiety she creates, and I hesitate. I don't like to hate her. I just wish she weren't there.

  • What's the most polarizing thing you've ever done or said?
  • Telling 8th grade content teachers that they must modify their assignments to accommodate migrant students and English learners, and that just directly translating those documents forever wasn't going to cut it. Gosh there was a lot of grumbling in the room.

    I get it, we're short staffed and overwhelmed, but it doesn't make it go away.

  • Getting experience as a landscape designer?

    Hi all,

    I'm attempting to change careers into landscape design/architecture, but I'm struggling to gain professional experience.

    I've applied to 4 different job in the field, interviewed at one, but haven't had enough "professional experience" to land any of the jobs. Any tips on how to proceed? I was thinking about keeping my current job while also trying freelance for very nominal pay, but I'm not really sure how to go about that either.

    For background, I've been at my current (unrelated) job for 6 years, took a community college class on AutoCAD, did a planting plan for a friend, and put together a portfolio (work in CAD, Photoshop, SketchUp, and physical media). I have some experience with plant nurseries, and a degree in biology. An in-person college architecture program is not option due to distance and expense, and I can't find any online programs. My portfolio gets compliments, but I seem to need more drafting experience.

    Pixel 3a, battery update - worth it?

    Hi all,

    I've had a 3a for some years now, and I like almost everything about the phone (though I sincerely wish they'd used more durable glass, holy canoli). However, the battery has started to fail, and I was wondering if it's worth replacing? It would cost about 80 USD to have it professionally replaced.

    I know the device is no longer supported by Google, but I was thinking of running GrapheneOS instead of Android, anyway.

    Any thoughts or insights? I'm far from a genius when it comes to cell phones, so I'd appreciate anything you have to say.

    Thanks!
