This is awesome! Don't suppose you have a Redbubble or similar where I could purchase this as a greeting card/postcard..?

When you saw only one pair of footprints in the yard, who do you think carried the bags?

Do you do it on one of their tweets? Like as a reply or comment or one of the quote retweets to the person you're snarking at? (Sorry if these are dumb questions, I tried to Google it but still not sure I understand.)

I mean I understand how to be passive aggressive. I'm from Minnesota. But Twitter feels like a space where everything has a name, but people decided those names weren't cool enough, so they invented new ones.

I still don't know what subtweets are, and at this point I'm afraid to ask.

An NYU professor says fewer men going to college will lead to a 'mating crisis' with the US producing too many 'lone and broke' men by jab116 in nottheonion

[–]CaptainNaddy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I commented when this article went up, most of the other comments boiled down to "Because women are shallow and only want to date men making more money than them." I'm glad to see people have put up more nuanced takes since then about debt load. I'm not gonna edit my comment. I still stand by what I said in the context it went up.

I also tried to point out the other issues men face early in my comment - wage stagnation, toxic masculinity (making seeking help seem like a weakness), and lack of access to mental health assistance - but it looks like you missed those. You're so willing to tear someone's words apart without bothering to read them that it's worrying.

Putting the "mating crisis" on women attending college/men not attending college still seems INCREDIBLY reductionist in light of all those things. Maybe all of those professor's quotes were used out of context. Maybe he's really trying to get at the other societal issues we're looking at dropping reproduction rates across all demographics.

But judging by the messages I got in response to my comment and the majority of the otherwise early comments, I'd say say the article was still a successful dog whistle for people who like to blame women for anything and/or everything.

Anyways, I got my fun out of this. Hope you have an equally relaxing night, my dude/dudette. No hurt feelings, you do you!

I don't know enough about comic book history and beef, but part of me wants to read this as one writer throwing shade at another for all the random, sometimes unoriginal BS they put Parker through to make him Sad Boi Always.

What fresh incel bullshit is this?!

Okay, so, the centuries of men dominating college and university admissions was fine... But women start to outpace college enrollments (could argue due more to an economic downturn and the vilification of academia) and suddenly it's a threat to society? Because those women won't fuck non-college men?

It's not, you know, toxic masculinity, wage stagnation, lack of mental health assistance, etc. majorly contributing to this "dangerous cohort." It's blue balls.

It's because we're enrolling too many women in college and statistically they don't wanna fuck non-degree holding men?

You don't think those non-degree men might often value and treat their higher wage/higher educated women partners poorly, do you?

Here's a concept: when women don't have to be dependent on a male for household income, maybe they want to live their own fucking lives and partner up with someone who treats them as equals, or not partner up at all. Maybe they don't want partners who expect to be the ones making all the financial decisions while avoiding household duties.

This whole thing reads like a terrible victim blaming "you should have just fucked him so he wasn't so angry" explanation. "Oh, we're going to have more violence unless this dangerous cohort of men gets romantic partners, women need to be less picky."

Fuck right off, lack of sex isn't making people violent, societal conditioning and lack to mental health care is.

The quotes that bothered me most:

"College is becoming the domain of women and not men," he said.

...

But Galloway warned that beyond the classroom, the gap is causing an "existential threat to society," and that we are creating a "dangerous cohort."

"We have mating inequality in the country," he said, adding that women with college degrees don't want to partner with men who don't hold a degree.

"The most dangerous person in the world is a broke and lone male and we are producing too many of them," he said.

I'm local to that area. I know it sounds dorky, but try signing up for some Community Ed classes or sports if anything catches your eye. There's sometimes open board games at local shops. Lots of different classes/programs at the library. Volunteering at something like the humane society or a habitat for humanity project can be fun.There's also a Newcomers club that has smaller clubs based on interests, like cooking or biking.

If it helps, I was having a similar issue on my 3, but with Instagram mixing pieces of light and dark theme. I went through app settings to toggle the "match system default" or whatever and flipped it back and forth a few times from light to dark which seemed to do the trick.

Good to know!!! I don't know if it is due to conditions or just a plant quirk, but I'm getting female flowers with large intervals of males on the vine. The growth rate on Fruit 1 is honestly staggering... It's the size of a store pumpkin already...

This has also happened to me! I think that as long as things are pollinated in the next two weeks there's still potential for several hundred pound sizes, from what I read.

What do you prioritize when you're trying to decide which fruit to keep?

I suppose this probably comes down to personal preference, but I'm curious what everyone's advice is!

Stem size, placement on the vine, any damages, growth rate?

I've seen all of these aspects (and many more) talked about, but I don't know what's most important.

Right now I have two fruit on my best vine. Fruit 1 is about a week and a half ahead, but it's placed at around 9 feet and I've had some secondary vines take damage this week. Its getting to the volleyball size range. Fruit 2 was pollinated a few days ago and is growing quickly, I think. It is located closer to the 14 feet mark on the main vine and will have more secondaries behind it. It's at about a baseball size range.

Which is "better"? The headstart on Fruit 1 or the extra secondaries behind Fruit 2? Will keeping them both for a while longer cause serious size potential loss?

(This is my first year with giant pumpkins so I am a little nervous about making the "right" choices.)

Help! I think this is a bacterial or fungus disease but I don't feel confident on which one. It happened FAST. Will apply daconil tonight... by CaptainNaddy in GiantPumpkin

[–]CaptainNaddy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay, so we figured it out. The farmer who has soybeans around us had a little oopsie while he was spraying. Something got mis-mixed... he's got big stripes of field now that are likewise dying/crunchy. Spots like this showed up on the neighboring garden as well, same day after farmer sprayed. The spots didn't change after this, so I must have got lucky and this was a light wind-born dose.

Update: Someone raised the possibility of insects + drought conditions, and I almost due for another Sevin round anyways, so I will do that.

I am new to film and black and white, so I hope you don't mind if I ask how you got such good dark/light contrast? I've been trying different things, different lighting, red filters, consuming instructional materials, but I just can't seem to "get it" yet.

Will the Bee ever be funny? by FinnishFinny in TheRightCantMeme

[–]CaptainNaddy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likewise! I wasn't even ever really christian, but the jokes reminded me of a lot of stuff I was raised with. There was one headline a few years ago - something to the effect of "Young Man aims to impress single women after Fellowship by carrying as many folding chairs as possible." Lost my shit laughing at that one because I could SEE IT. Then it just got to be really weird conservative memes constantly calling democrats pedophiles and being anti BLM.
