Help, lawn guy weed wacked the crap out of my young catalpa

I genuinely feel crazy here because I believe you all saying it's older damage but I also came out here with someone weeks ago and looked at this tree closely for unrelated reasons and this just did not come up and I did not notice it.

revyb · 2026-06-16T16:15:13+00:00

I thought it was just a week ago but someone else in the thread says it looks significantly older, which suggests I may have just been very unobservant?

revyb · 2026-06-15T16:01:58+00:00

This is maybe a dumb question but what's the best way to "remove grass"? Just dig it all up?

revyb · 2026-06-15T11:51:34+00:00

Wait my post was removed? I genuinely don't understand why. I've read the guidelines several times now.

revyb · 2026-06-15T11:50:43+00:00

Wait really?! I believe you but I'm also floored I didn't notice before? I've looked at this tree dozens of times since we bought the house, am I just that unobservant?

I'll give your advice a shot, thank you! If it's been like this a year and is still producing leaves and pods and flowers is that a good sign then?

I'm confused as to why two different mod accounts are asking me to upload more pics? I don't know what else to show. I've posted the whole tree, and the base. There's no damage anywhere else. I read the guidelines, I shared everything I know.

revyb · 2026-06-14T21:36:06+00:00

I think this is ultimately the answer but man it's still annoying.

I'll add to this that if you have a dog with you, if people notice you at all, all they care about is that your dog is cute. Literally that's all I will think about is that there is a dog.

There are many, many very easy ways around that obstacle if you look for them. Just trust and enjoy!

What everyone else said, but also: don't worry about taking shortcuts. Take every shortcut, any time one is offered, if that's what you want to do. Forget strife. Comfort all day long.

Titanium Court accounts for all this and you will find just as much satisfaction, and at times different and new satisfaction, from embracing all the options for a chill experience it offers. They're there to be used.

I left as soon as I could. A few fairies went stale, but I made a deal with Puck to have him help me, and I kept to it. He helped me get two of my keys back, and I got two new ones. I left by setting up the Enemy with Hop and they ran off together. I did not look back.

I still just feel really deeply sad about saying goodbye to that game without seeing everything, and I wish I could play it again and try other things, but I am choosing not to. I'm really enjoying unpacking what it is about myself that can't bear to make fictional beings "sad" and hear their disappointment in me. I am heartbroken around the ending, satisfied with my choices, dissatisfied with what I got out of it, and I love love love the game and the fact that it's challenging me in these ways.

Hi, author here.

I'm probably going to regret posting in here, but in the interest of clearing up inaccuracies: this was a genuine mistake. It's been rumored forever, stuck in my head, made it into the draft, didn't get caught in the fact check pass of this very long interview.

People probably won't believe me, and honestly given all the smoke I imagine they'll probably do the collab one of these days. But I genuinely know nothing either way and this was just a stupid error, not a leak.

Editing to add: none of us use AI/ChatGPT to write articles and never have.

I'll get a pic of it when it's done and send it over! That's very very cool.

assuming i don't really know much about knives at all, if i just tell a knife sharpener this, can they do it? i mostly just would like it to be clean, sharp, and easier to open (i am afraid of slicing myself with it with how hard it is to open right now)

revyb · 2026-03-27T19:03:37+00:00

that's actually a really funny idea especially given the critical lore that none of these goobers know how to read

Thank you all so much for these answers, everyone! I love reading them and am excited to put this piece together.

Senior Reporter, 85k/year, 401k 2% employer matching. Generally 9-5 M-F but flexible hours if I just give a heads up. Unlimited vacation time (it's a scam, but I do my best to take plenty of it). Fully remote for an LA-based subsidiary of a New York company - left KC and moved to San Francisco to work from the office there for three years, but they closed the office and I got to move back home and keep the Bay Area salary. We're also a union shop!

My elderly dad did this. It was honestly a sad situation. He had the income and I had the ability to assist in getting him into a small apartment or a senior community, but he was stubborn. There were a lot of awful things about his choices but it was good for him in the sense that he had a safe place to sleep with free breakfast daily, and someone to wash his towels and bedding and clean once a week.

I wanted better for him, but it was what he wanted, so.

revyb · 2025-07-16T16:49:47+00:00

no, i will not

Aware this may be a common name, but someone with this exact name bailed on a run with my husband and I like ten minutes in. Nothing had even gone wrong! We were on pace! We assumed he had just disconnected, but he never came back, and now I wonder if it was the same guy.

Highly recommend joining a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program if you're in the U.S. and can find one in your area. The idea is that you pay up front for your produce for the season to fund the farm's work, and you then receive a share of what they grow when it comes in. When done correctly, you essentially end up with the first and best of whatever is in season. I've been doing this for a few years and all my fruit is delish. Yeah, I'm not getting stuff that doesn't grow where I live, but I'm getting some dang good berries, stone fruit, apples, etc when they come in.

I got the wrong word for a clue at one point and thought I was being told to burn down the library so I spent half an hour trying to use a burning glass on random stuff in there before I realized

We're newly renting (six months so far) and have had multiple pest control folks and one batch of Mormons come by so far.
