My mom guilts me over not maintaining a better relationship with my brother, but he will never ever call or text first, despite the fact we used to be really close.

She wants us to have that again, but we are both adults now and my duty of looking out for my kid brother is done. He can make his own choices and I’m always happy to talk to him.

I cut weight all last year. Went from 203 lb to 181 lbs at my leanest, while training hard. I was obsessive about it. After 9 month I started stalling hard. I hung on for 2 more months and then quit because it was almost Christmas.

I tried to start the cut again but it was too mentally grueling for me. I crept back up to 195 and now I’m just maintaining until I don’t have a visceral reaction to the idea of a cut again.

I definitely gained some muscle during the process, and don’t look as soft when I started but still a bit discouraging.

Also it’s nuts how your body can hold 2-5 lbs of carb reserves

Particularly for trans people, unfortunately.

Mine are darker green, but I was also blind as a bat before I paid someone in an dark alley in the used hubcap district to hold me down and shine a laser pointer at my retinas.

I’ve had 20/20 ever since, but I was -4.75 and -5.5 before correction.

That’s a 40k reference

Got you going there for a minute didn’t it?

You know what? Uncorns your dog

I can’t wait til Amazon figures out how to beam ads directly to my optic nerve using this

I want about 20 of these to stick on mine foremens’ trucks. The operators would lose it

I like the moss effect on the tree ;)

Is that like a helldiver, but for labia?

As I’ve said before: if it’s a good meme, I’m posting it. That’s the extent of it. I’m not playing AI sleuth just to make a handful of people happy.

I generally dislike AI and AI images but it’s getting harder to tell. I don’t have the time or the desire to look deeper into memes I find.

Comments about AI slop, while valid, are really unoriginal. I invite you to recreate the meme for me of it bothers you that much. Be the change or something… I’ll happily post it with an non-ai image if you leave it in the comments. Otherwise, i’d appreciate it if you refrained from complaining about it due to the repetitive nature of the comments.

What would you propose, then?

We use organic amendments all the time when reclaiming historically mined lands that did not salvage soils.

Soils take millennia to form, and you’re not going to get fertile soils without either kickstarting the process or waiting.

Another commentator points out that using arbuscular mychorrizhal fungi is also cheating. Again, how?

To have a functional soil and not regolith you need the following:

• An organic matter source - regolith lacks this
• A moisture retaining media - regolith usually has this but its ability varies widely
• Enough rooting depth for your desired plants
• A method to transform organic matter to nutrients - regolith generally lacks this

Organic matter is your pool of nutrients and microbes and fungi are what mineralize this pool into plant available forms, so saying they are cheating doesnt hold water (like a shitty regolith).

But I can grow plants in glass beads! Sure you can, but you’re supplying chemical fertilizer to do it and constantly replacing that - so in this case you’re the organic matter pool and the transformation vector.

You need humus to grow hummus ;)

I had a really fantastic laugh about this.

That’s amazing
