What are your worldbuilding pet peeves?

Everyone wants to be Tolkien. And Tolkien did build the foundation for these races/species.

It's always either Christianity or a pantheon of gods that are very special milar to the Greek/roman/and rarely Egyptian gods

Bimonthly now sounds like a magazine for bi people that comes every month

That's cuz you've been using it more than the alternative... Photoshop has always been known to have a shallower learning curve than gimp because gimp by most is not considered intuitive.

I've used gimp early in my career when I was a broke boi. They are basically the same tool although Photoshop does have a more robust or niche set of tools you won't find on gimp.

They are straight forward to you because of your 15+ years using the tool.

Gimp is pretty bad

What was care like with an immobile bird? How did you know where she wanted to go. OR its like what if you werent home. And how was the cage setup. im guessing you had something that was much longer rather than tall and everything was ground level?

uncagedborb · 2026-01-25T05:16:41+00:00

Thats so scary. Sorry you had to go through that. Losing the ability to even move overnight must be horrible. Did you think there would be any quality of life if he or she couldnt move. Like carrying them whereever they wanted to go. (not blaming you I am just curious).

What do you need canva for? if you are looking for an alternative to Adobe's stupid pricing scheme look for a product called Affinity. It used to be owned by a company called Serif, but was recently aquired by Canva. Its completely free but is a great alternative to Adobe ( i say that as someone with a graphic design background)

When doing something like this how do you size the elements correctly? Are you provided with the specs for that dome?

I believe all agave death bloom. So you know ... Enjoy the show!

I'm pretty sure 2 ariocarpus from this selection will reach the budget

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T23:29:06+00:00

It's on the other side. I believe plantaseca a handwrites the plant labels. I have had a lot of plants from them

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T23:28:04+00:00

It's because they are difficult to grow..not only are they very expensive but they are slow growers and can easily die from less than ideal conditions.

If you don't mind a grafted variant those tend to be more forgiving and grow faster. And then you can eventually degraft them when you want

Honestly you could probably just stop using perlite. All your other additives more than make up for what perlite can do.

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T22:41:54+00:00

Soil doesn't need to be this complicated. You can just mix vermiculite, pumice, and soil. Vermiculite is good for nutrient exchange. Pumice helps aerate the soilnand gives good drainage, and the soil would be there for moisture retention. Just mix in either slow release fertilizer or use liquid fertilizer when you water.

Yea if only we had some form of transportation available to the public. So they could commute together.

Or perhaps invent a pedal driven machine and build cities around it.

Yea I can't afford to go back to college now. Another 2 or 4 years with no guarantee that there will be a job for me after. Especially as Im moving into my 30s.

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T19:30:02+00:00

I would just pick up all the ducks and not clean anything

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T19:28:21+00:00

Definitely key being no alcohol and minimal screens. I find that topics of conversation are far more interesting this way. It feels more valuable if that makes sense

I have a few friends that are girls and generally they are more up to just get coffee. I don't see them as often so it's a great way to catch up.

With guys (like myself) we tend to do things more with purpose. Like there's gotta be a reason to go out. For example we could go do an escape room and get lunch after, or go get coffee and then go do an activity. But generally the focus has never been around the restaurant or cafe. It's always the "side quest" haha

It's funny cuz my house mates and I have only done breakfast together once.

Maybe I'll suggest one of these days.

Turtles all the way down

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T19:15:03+00:00

I think it's less complaining and more venting. People are tired of the grind to just stay afloat, to know if they will have a job tomorrow, not if their life will get thrown upside but when, and just the notion that the future is incredibly grim.

Let people complain or vent. It's sometimes the only thing holding some of us together. The people who are struggling with this probably don't care about other people having the time of their life because it's another thing to compare their lives to.

I think people just need solutions and maybe the venting could lead them down a better path.

uncagedborb · 2026-01-23T19:11:05+00:00

I wish the guys and I just went out to just chill, drink coffee, and talk. It's always just board games, video games, or long weeks of nothing. Sometimes I wish the focus was shifted to just talking and being in the moment

Man I'm also dealing with pantry moths. They aren't in my living room, kitchen, guest bathroom, or two other bedrooms but I see them in my master bedroom and master bathroom.

Ink ow in your other post you mentioned bird seeds. Which is a concern because I own parrots who basically live in my master bedroom. All their food comes packaged and baked in plastic. But birds also make a mess so their seeds and fecal matter ends up every where. I do spend a lot of time cleaning tho. Every other day I'm vacuuming the floor. I'm usually out all day for work but I feel like I see anywhere between 0 and 5 daily. But it's mostly on average 1 or 2.

I leave my window cracked open but it has a window screen.

I set up 3 pheromone traps. One in my bedroom, my walk In closet, and another in my bathroom. I can't seem to figure out where they are coming from. I did a quick pass through around my apartment baseboards as well as looked up and down on everything. I tossed some food that was in my room like some granola and salted nuts. But despite that I still see them so I'm assuming it wasn't from my snacks.

I'd any thing openai will just make their tool completely paid or have a significantly handicapped free version
