I’m telling you, spend a few days actually looking for and actually SEEING moss, it’ll blow your mind

There is a strip of grass beside the driveway to my complex’s parking structure with one tree in it.

That tree and the surrounding grass has at LEAST five species of moss living on it, so I just slow down on my walk to the car and appreciate those diverse, weird little plants

Ahhhhhhh yeah that makes sense

Can you elaborate? I’m just not understanding for some reason

Okay but what if I’m generally good at everything and this tactic keeps working for me and I just accumulate obscure skills

Now

My wife and I have four

You better start showing Plague Daddy, Prince of Decay, God of Chaos Nurgle some goddamn respect

Mind elaborating on the other threats?

We got a package, I saw the sticker, and understood the opportunity I had been given

Definitely not, she’s the least threatening cat on earth

I feel this to my core. I had a pretty successful career in army special operations, which ended after ten years with a few years of extremely heavy drinking, which ended with me getting out of the army and getting boatloads of mental health treatment, which is ongoing.

When I was at my peak, though, my most prize characteristic was my intellect. Now, though, my short term memory is measured in seconds, my working memory is like five digits at most, I forget words many times per day, and there’s many more examples.

It’s been absolutely crushing to remember such high performance, but be incapable of it now.

Uuuuuggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I’m gonna have to ask you to lower your voice

I mean, I’m 30 and a non traditional college student. If the weather is agreeable, I have a few nice sweaters that I’ll wear with an undershirt, dark jeans, and I’ve got a pair of Loake boots that are very nice.

I feel GREAT when I dress like that, and get quite a few glances throughout the day. Also my wife eyeballs me as I leave the house.

I have a stark reminder of the worst period in my life where I did the same. The “account performance” chart in an investment of mine showed steady growth and monthly inputs, then there’s a cliff, and over a period of a few months, it’s completely emptied. Thousands, easily. And the vast majority was fast food and liquor

Okay but how do I make it

Chlorine trifluoride, go on

That AIN’T GOIN ANYWHERE

The only name for them
