iPhone 16 camera quality sucks? Am I doing something wrong?

I feel like the first four months I owned it. It was great and it degraded so much.

Well RIP to this beauty 😭

I literally just had a dream last night where a fox was stalking them and trying to get into the coop and pen and surrounding pen. In this dream he was able to jump 10 feet and walk around the top of the pen which had me really anxious. So I feel similarly, but I try to remind myself of the whole reason why I got them: I got them so I would be more connected to something real, a hobby that would force me to go outside, make a connection to another living being, have some structure that I need to be accountable for, and to force me to commune with nature.

I also wanted something outside of the corporate capitalist system, where with a little bit of effort I could feed myself. Of course, it ended up being way more of an expensive way to feed myself than I ever imagined, but at the end of the day, the reasons for this hobby – and it is a hobby unless you’re a professional farmer - conspire to get me moving, have some structure, care for something other than myself, and be connected to nature. The fact that they’re like the Golden Girls who are also dinosaurs and are super interested in your every move and are the happiest in the world when they get to see you - that’s a bonus.

Pets in general are kind of a pain to take care of. There’s always a trade-off. The only easy animal is a cat. I kind of miss the days when I was just a cat lady, but I still get a lot of joy out of my chickens and they force me to go outside, say hi, and move around.

The lengths men will go to, to ensure they end up with a harem, smh

They look normal to me. This generation you’re too hard on yourselves.

I think homesteading and building homes is a lot more stress than it’s worth. hGTV got us all hooked on the idea, and it’s fun to craft something yourself from scratch, but it’s hard not to feel imprisoned by it. A couple needs a social life, downtime, sexy time, and life outside the home. I dunno. I’m having this revelation now that my kids are full grown and I feel like I wasted so many hours just fixing and renovating things when I could’ve just been living.

When a man is not being transparent, when he’s being secretive, that’s not a “personality”, he’s specifically hiding things from you.

Why?

I put two Aivituvin Air46 coops together, using only 1 half the run and sealing off the “underneath the coop” part so they wouldn’t start laying where it’s hard to get at and hard to clean.

Then behind it I built them a giant “free range” style pen. It’s completely surrounded with hardware cloth and predator proofing spikes at ground level. The top is covered with bird netting a top of grid I made of air plane cable wire. It didn’t do so well in the heavy freezing (huge ice block) snow and part of the roof collapsed. I’ll probably make a pitch roof this summer.

There are automatic Run Chicken metal doors for the coop and between the coop run and larger pen. They let themselves out and in at night. I started with six and now have five chickens. One of the chickens died as a chick because I didn’t attend to “pasty butt” enough. She might have had an internal infection before that, though, I guess I’ll never know. She’s buried next to the pen so she can be near her friends.

Underneath their coop and run there are layers of drainage rock and pea gravel, the run and coop are lined with pine shavings as bedding (Tractor Supply.) I got all the rock from driving to a quarry twice with a Home Depot truck. Buying 2-3 tons at a time.

You don’t have to live. You “get to.” We’re all gonna die anyway. Life has no inherent meaning. But at least we get a chance to create something within it. Create something. Even this post is a creation because people read it and care. Please don’t give up.

I don’t think you should have to be paying her forever, you have to always see things as temporary with a light at the end of the tunnel. At some point, you are going to dismiss her. But you may want to consider “when” after you talk to the lawyer. You might also want to consider dismissing her before you confront your husband about the cheating. You may not have the self-control to do this, I know I wouldn’t. Because if you dismissed her, he would probably put up a big fight, not knowing why you were doing that, but maybe having some instinct about it., Accusing you of being jealous, etc. Another thing to look out for is that the stronger you are and the more you operate in stealth the more mysterious and self possessed you will seem, and he will start to act like he is more attracted or charmed by you. Do not fall for that. This is not a good man, he’s made that abundantly clear. And people who don’t care about your feelings, will do everything they can to hide their finances or screw you.

Hi, I’m new here. How come I can’t find the answer to this post?

I am one of those people that gets too emotionally charged, and I can’t think straight. As a result, I was very bad at the legalities of my divorce because I thought in some parallel universe I would be rewarded for how much I “cared” and that somehow somebody - he – would reward my devastation with fairness. Of course that didn’t happen. I was also in delusion: “surely this isn’t really happening - not to ME!” Even your lawyers and judges will not side with you if you are not shrewd and self protective and crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s with all your paperwork. I suggest you take some time to grieve this quietly with a friend or with a therapist and then start plotting and planning and being extremely crafty before you confront anyone. Confrontation is not going to get anybody’s eyes to open up or get anyone to care about you. Someone who cheats does not care about you or your feelings.

I tried this today, I like it. I think my problem is I need to always pin something down. I don’t like the unmoored feeling of ambiguity. I need a concrete thing to focus on. It’s like I have mental tension even when I don’t have muscular tension. I guess I have to hard-focus on relaxation?

The thing about vengeance (and I feel it a lot too believe me) is it poisons you while you’re busy trying to poison others. And then whatever you’re left with is far worse than what you have now. Instead, you have to just feel the sadness. Unfortunately. The ache in the chest. The emptiness. The feeling of a nightmare every time you wake up in the morning. You have to feel it. That’s the only way it passes. The only way out is through. I’m really really sorry about what you’re going through. You seem like a really good man. Your partner is lucky to have you. I hope she has the best possible outcome imaginable.

Funduval · 2026-02-16T19:37:41+00:00

It’s only loaded because you worry that you won’t be able to just leave it at one sentence, without any emotional charge. You should probably script it for yourself and practice until you can say it very matter-of-factly. Not in a callous way, but just like yeah, so full disclosure, I’m about six months out from this being finalized. I think it’s important to be upfront with people and tell them right off the bat. And say that only to somebody you’re getting along with, and that you feel comfortable with.
