Welcome to the Protestant Work Ethic where if you are not working for 16 hours a day you are a Sinner that will Burn In Hell. Unless of course you are rich in which case you are Blessed by God and can go to Heaven without lifting a finger.
heard a story on a podcast that some Christian missionaries showed these rural Cambodian farmers how to double their crop yields. the missionaries came back a year later and were surprised the Cambodians had grown basically the same amount of crops but the farmers were like “yeah this is great, we got everything we need for the year and only had to do half as much work”
and if that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about the current North American work environment I don't know what will
"Early colonists on Turtle Island were stunned by the plenitude they found here, attributing the richness to the bounty of nature. Settlers in the Great Lakes wrote in their journals about the extraordinary abundance of wild rice harvested by Native peoples; in just a few days, they could fill their canoes with enough rice to last all year. But the settlers were puzzled by the fact that, as one of them wrote, “the savages stopped gathering long before all the rice was harvested.” She observed that “the rice harvest starts with a ceremony of thanksgiving and prayers for good weather for the next four days. They will harvest dawn till dusk for the prescribed four days and then stop, often leaving much rice to stand unreaped. This rice, they say, is not for them but for the Thunders. Nothing will compel them to continue, therefore much goes to waste.” The settlers took this as certain evidence of laziness and lack of industry on the part of the heathens. They did not understand how indigenous land-care practices might contribute to the wealth they encountered. I once met an engineering student visiting from Europe who told me excitedly about going ricing in Minnesota with his friend’s Ojibwe family. He was eager to experience a bit of Native American culture. They were on the lake by dawn and all day long they poled through the rice beds, knocking the ripe seed into the canoe. “It didn’t take long to collect quite a bit,” he reported, “but it’s not very efficient. At least half of the rice just falls in the water and they didn’t seem to care. It’s wasted.” As a gesture of thanks to his hosts, a traditional ricing family, he offered to design a grain capture system that could be attached to the gunwales of their canoes. He sketched it out for them, showing how his technique could get 85 percent more rice. His hosts listened respectfully, then said, “Yes, we could get more that way. But it’s got to seed itself for next year. And what we leave behind is not wasted. You know, we’re not the only ones who like rice. Do you think the ducks would stop here if we took it all?” Our teachings tell us to never take more than half."

There are So Many Journals from American colonists that describe the amazing bounty of the land, and then surprise surprise, once they drive away the people who were caring for the land and make the farming "more efficient" and kill all the predators and import domesticated animals and everything, the amazing miraculous bounty starts drying up.
Our grandparents tell us stories about the birds that used to be here and how the seasons were predictable and the weather less extreme.

Man who went in for an interview after I left mine was wearing a demon-girl anime tshirt. It's steep competition
If you have a dog/cat with worsening arthritis, I really really encourage looking into librela. If I hadn't started my 12+ year husky on it, my other option very genuinely was letting her go at the end of 2024 when she couldn't stand. Carprofen/doggy tylenol wasn't cutting it anymore. I still don't expect her to keep going more than a few months, and I want to let her go before she's suffering. But I've gotten to run with her again!! The medication was only recently approved in the US and it's incredible to me that I get these last months with her with improved health because of it. Huskies want to be on the move!! It's been so so worth it
Spin this wheel of the top 50 fastest growing relationship tags of 2024 on AO3!
Have you heard of this pairing?
Yes and I like them
Yes and I don't have a strong opinion about them
Yes and I dislike them
Through friends/mutuals yeah, but I'm not part of the fandom
I've heard of them or the fandom, but I am not familiar
No clue who they are

A lot of people on Tik Tok have migrated over to the Chinese app RedNote, and the Chinese users are so fucking funny about it. I saw one comment that was like "Welcome, I was the Chinese citizen assigned to spy on your data, I missed you"

What do you want to happen to your body when you die?
Traditional burial
Cremation, and I want someone to keep my ashes (in an urn/etc)
Cremation, and I want my ashes turned into a keepsake (jewelry, pottery, etc)
Cremation, and I want my ashes to be scattered somewhere
Donated to science
Something eco-friendly, like planting a tree or green burial
Something else
This matters to me but I'm not sure which yet/multiple of these would be fine
I don't care

Damn...
OpenWorm is an open source project dedicated to creating a virtual C. elegans nematode in a computer.
This is real. Every C. elegans nematode has exactly 302 neurons and 95 muscle cells, all of which have been precisely mapped and studied. OpenWorm is an open-source project to fully simulate a living virtual nematode. Presumably the next step is to add mod support.
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO
And no I don’t think love ever leaves because it’s been eight years since my dad died and he is in every thought and hope and dream. and when I think I can’t fix the computer he is here. and when I eat chocolate cake he is here. and when the sun glows at 3pm he is here. and he will always be here because his life made mine, and my life will be his epilogue
Bruh I hope the customer who did it heard me shriek "yaaaall some nasty mf left chewed gum stuck to their plate for me to get off. We have napkins everywhere!!!" like ppl need to b shamed. This isn't even the worst, I'm just on edge because I'm tired of picking up snotty kleenex. People leave them in their cups but I had to pick up a green one from a side table the other day. This is a casual coffee shop where you leave your cups in a bin when you leave + we don't clean tables until closing unless there's a problem. Customers are sick but also I've been having to rewash so many dishes bc I see that other baristas left the "clean" glasses clouded with matcha/chai, and mugs still with coffee or lipstick
