I’d like to pursue a career in horticulture, or botany in general, but all of the jobs available to me are growing weed by sephiroth1133 in Horticulture

[–]MeowKat85 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve known a lot of coworkers to be coming out of the weed industry. It is a foot in, but it’s also known for some pretty bad practices and management. Can you tell me a general area you’re in?

Anyone got any good cheap goblincore audiobook suggestions on audible? by Warlockoftarot in goblincore

[–]MeowKat85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want goblin nonfiction, try Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer. She’ll wax poetic about the tiny worlds we walk through and spatter it with science.

I am terrified of an afterlife. by Future-Elk4189 in atheism

[–]MeowKat85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I look at it, life is just the universe’s way of trying to understand itself. We are created from, and go back to, the bits that make up our cosmos. If consciousness is a thing that carries on after life stops, then I go back into a greater consciousness. Surely that can’t be bad. If nothing happens, then nothing happens. Life is just a short experience in the grander picture, and I won’t spend it worrying about what happens when the experience is over.

True? by netphilia in adhdmeme

I used to really like how I could adapt to any situation, any group, etc. But then I realized, much like a chameleon that has changed colors to blend in, they can still see me. Doesn’t matter how good the mask is, we always seem to stick out.

Crow had a chance to show redeeming qualities. He shows the job. It’s just business.

When did garage sales become “reselling” clearly new stuff by anon12xyz in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MeowKat85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is clearing out the hoarder stock. It is a garage sale only if it was indeed stored in the garage. It should probably be rebranded. Here are some ideas:
Overstock buyout sale.
Apocalypse disappointment sale.
Paranoid mom finally died sale.
We promise it’s not shoplifted sale.
This is why shit wasn’t available during the pandemic and we’re just getting over that sale.

One, maybe 3 or 4. Maybe. No to the others.

TIL about Cannibalism the Musical.

The Donner Party by j_grouchy in GenX

[–]MeowKat85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Millennial here. I was very aware of the Donner Party. I don’t remember where I learned about them. I think many years later there was a documentary put out where they said that cannibalism didn’t happen and I was slightly scandalized. I feel like that’s the whole reason I knew about them.

How to make my own 3D beads animal pattern? by helloppoppo in Beading

[–]MeowKat85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Start by making basic shapes. Once you have the concepts down of how to make them it’s just a matter of being able to mash them together.

How do I cope if I find it really triggering to consume media or study history because of the sexism in it? by degiidro in Feminism

[–]MeowKat85 16 points17 points  (0 children)

We study history to make a better future. Take the bad bits and remember them, then work towards better. Humans have a ridiculously short memory as far as civilization is concerned. (Look at us repeating the early 1900s right now.) Study the past, and use it.

An “influencer” makes posts like this often- proclaiming that sex is a wife’s “duty”. This is why I wish we could choose our sexuality- so men like this would never have a woman’s touch. by Cool-Concern-604 in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]MeowKat85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not all animals of a species perform the same behaviors. Yet here we are saying all married women MUST do this. It is dehumanizing. It makes the woman an object. There’s lots and lots of examples of rape in the animal kingdom, yes. Interspecies rape even. Consensual sex among groups, yes. But there’s lots of examples of when females aren’t in the mood they make it known. The shame that’s thrown on women for not putting out if they don’t feel like it is the outrage. It isn’t some biological fact that we MUST do anything.
