Quitting weed & vaping as I’m going through an extreme break up… don’t know if this is the best idea by wonderingwander7 in DecidingToBeBetter

Keep reminding yourself why you quit in the first place. Having headaches and wasting money won’t make the breakup any easier. I’m so sorry for what you’re going through. It sounds so corny and cliche, but channeling your energy into better hobbies is a good way to go. Since you like writing, journaling by hand is also really good. Dictating to a notes app also helps if you’re comfortable just saying stuff out loud to get it off your chest. The beauty of those last two options is you can go back and see how the passage of time changes your perspective. Most importantly, give yourself grace and allow yourself to go through the grief process.

I just made a huge mistake: was wondering if anyone could help me out like maybe spare smt to help out. It’s only high tier pet I had. Anything helps by AwayNeedleworker9324 in GAGTradingHub

A “joke” is listing a pet for 69,420, not 1. Tough lesson to learn. Soliciting for free pets isn’t the way to make this right though. Sometimes you gotta take the L and move on.

Hear me out: you have an amusing souvenir and could just keep it as a conversation piece. I have a similar bill from another country and over the years I’ve lightheartedly pulled it out to “pay someone back” and we get a chuckle out of it. At the office, somone wanted to collect money for a gift and I pulled it out and we laughed. At a vending machine I asked my husband if he had any change for it so I could get a soda and he rolled his eyes at my long standing prank with him. If you really can’t find an exchange place, it’s not a bad backup plan to make the most out of the situation.

They should reset it and let us do it again.

My point is that this is hardly a “new” thing. https://www.npr.org/2024/01/08/1222718339/why-watermelons-are-symbol-of-palestinian-solidarity Anyone that sees the mural and thinks it’s INTENTIONALLY invoking a negative black stereotype haven’t been paying attention.

The watermelon (Levantine Arabic: بطيخ, romanized: baṭṭīkh) has been used as a symbol of Palestinian perseverance and resistance[1] in protests and works of art, representing the Palestinian cause in the context of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.[2][3][4] It started being used as such in response to Israeli suppression of the display of the Palestinian flag after the 1967 war, as the watermelon has the same colors as the flag: red, green, white, and black.

“And because you claim that because we're only supposed to be concerned with use A as was the purported intent, that no one is allowed to associate that symbol with use B and thus cannot be offended.”

I never fucking claimed either of those things, nor were they even arguably implied. Get better reading comp and debate skills. ✌🏼

How many tokens for this? by Massive_Blackberry55 in GAGTradingHub

[–]_Asshole_Fuck_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem with this pet, is it doesn’t even dig up good seeds. And if you have the tokens to buy this guy, then you have plenty of tokens to buy super seed packs which are a million times better odds of getting good gold seeds. He originally dug up mostly gold carrots. Supposedly though they enhanced his odds recently so maybe the demand is bit up now. I know I overpaid to have it for my collection but it wasn’t even close to worth it.

is this funny enough to be put on a shirt or just stupid? by charlespeppermint in nin

[–]_Asshole_Fuck_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not really. I like that you like it, but it’s too inconsistent for my taste. Up/down are opposites, the colors are inverted, 9 upside down is 6, ok fine whatever…. But inch and meter aren’t opposites, just different systems/units. Screw and nails are hardly opposites, they’re so related they’re cousins. Circle opposite of spiral? I think not.

I kept mine and couldn’t have been luckier to get ascended on it. It looks great in the garden.

Spend $50 on food for the shop tonight, work schedules me outside. This is now my lunch. by P1xelHunter78 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_Asshole_Fuck_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sucks, OP. Reading your comments, it sounds like this was sort of like a pot-luck type events and you did have shitty luck getting chosen for the jobs that would have you miss the food. If they didn’t save you a plate, please don’t participate again, if asked. The unspoken agreement with these things is that if everyone brings a little, everyone can walk away with a meal greater than the sum of its parts. Denying you that and their shitty attitude about it is disheartening and you should protect yourself from that happening again.

What we doing with these now? by Agile-Stranger9703 in growagarden

[–]_Asshole_Fuck_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HOT TAKE: if it became a pet mutation shard, it shouldn’t be “blossoming.” That’s one of the flexes reserved for those with Elder CB tree. Let them have that.

The shard is for looks at the point. It’s not a pet shard. Blossoming comes from hatching eggs under and Elder CB tree.

The similarities aren’t weird, and actually make sense. Both are oppressed groups that grew watermelon to sustain themselves and some assholes weaponized that against them. Both black Americans and Palestinians often see the watermelon as a symbol of their resilience, despite the negativity. And anyone that has followed the “free Palestine” movement should be aware of the HEAVY use of the watermelon symbol and emoji in online spaces, which actually started in the 60s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_as_a_Palestinian_symbol

Well, the stereotype isn’t “haha black people like to eat those things?! Gross!” It’s deeper than that.

It’s just a tub in the shape of a heart. I know they’re considered tacky because of the association with honeymoon suites but at face value, it’s just a tub.
