  • “Courage means being scared but doing it anyway” seems like a pretty succinct way of putting it I think.

    My wierd compliment (if it can be called that) was when I was in high school English class. My teacher noticed how competent I was and how I was the only one to consistently raise my hand when he asked a question. He gave us a research paper to do and I got an F on it, exclusively because I fucked up the citations. He said the content was good, but he had to mark me way down due to improper citing. He said “I know you can do better than this.”

    Is that a complement? Either way, I think about that interaction and scenario a lot even though I haven’t been in high school for well over a decade.


  • Bob the Builder encourages confidence in one’s abilities. He says “can we fix it?” And then immediately responds with “yes we can!” and expects you to respond the same with him. The meme is saying their decline in their self confidence and even world view started when they didn’t respond “yes we can” but instead “no we cant”













  • I can think of a couple ways, but whether or not they’d work is unclear or if they’d even be ethical or practical.

    Best one I got is to keep the cows indoors and collect the methane from the internal atmosphere. Make the roof of said building out of glass or some other clear material so that the cows and their grazing ground has access to sunlight. But then you’d need to regularly clean the roof…

    Not to mention having to maintain an HVAC system that siphons all the air (or maybe just the top layer?) of the interior space and somehow separates the methane from the myriad other gases in the space.

    Sounds plausible but impractical.







  • I can’t remember the brand, but the packaging looked like human food except for a very small piece of text in the corner that mentions its dog food.

    It tasted like it just needed a little bit of salt or maybe ketchup, but was otherwise pretty good.

    I’ve also knowingly had wet and dry dog food since then, just because i already took the plunge accidentally so how bad could it be?

    Again, I can’t remember the brands, but dry dog food is alright if you’ve literally nothing else. I’m sure some seasoning would help. I would recommend wet dog food though only because it’s easier to season. Tastes mostly how it smells, just blander.
