godzilla_lives,

It’s always a joy to see this thread posted :) I just got back inside from watering my little balcony garden, and I’m pleased to report that things are looking pretty good! Wife and I had to fasten some twine to the tomato plant to give it some support, because the maters are coming in big this year! Dinosaur kale is coming along nicely and the non-descript micro greens are right behind. My sunflowers are starting to bud too, and I’m so excited for when they bloom.

My catnip and pumpkins sprouts aren’t doing as well as I’d hoped, but that’s on me. I’ve lived in the South my whole life, and I was still so surprised it got so hot so quick. I was lucky that they more-or-less bounced back after being cared for, but let’s just say I’m not planning to carve my own pumpkins this fall just yet. But as I’ve said before, this is just a fun little hobby (at least that’s what I tell myself, I was very saddened to see them wilting in the sun). And hey, my peppers are looking great, especially the cayennes!

Have some pictures! Go easy on my poor little sprouts 😭

godzilla_lives,

Thank you! That means a lot :) I took your advice from a few threads back and made sure they were getting more sunlight. In terms of protection, not much, just trying to keep their little starter trays damp in this heat. They dry out so quickly!

godzilla_lives,

No visible roots as of yet, but I’ll keep an eye out and move them over once they start to poke. Yeah I’m definitely watering more as these days get hotter. Already feels like 97 outside 😭

godzilla_lives,

Hey Lally, sorry for the long delay in replying, was busy relaxing / visiting my dad this weekend. No roots yet as of cutting the bottoms off of those cells a few days ago, but I’ll continue to keep an eye out and keep you posted. Thanks for the advice, I greatly appreciate it.

godzilla_lives,

Hopefully it doesn’t impact them too much. So tired of this AI train man.

godzilla_lives,

I’d say it’s going well! The sun decided to come back out, literally and figuratively, which is great for my new plane photography hobby lol. Mother’s Day was alright, we went to my aunt and uncle’s with my dad to barbecue. First Mother’s Day without my mom, which was rough, but it’s just a celebration to capitalism more than anything, so keeping that in mind helped when seeing all the cards and flower displays at the store. I did allow myself the opportunity to feel sad by walking up to the card section and picking out the one I know I’d have gotten her (it had butterflies, which she loved).

Thanks for letting me journal like this. It really does help to write it out, kind of like writing a letter and not sending it to anybody.

Anyway, have some pictures. I’m getting into photography again, and I’m excited to share :)

godzilla_lives,

That’s a Peanut! Thank you so much, the 50mm and auto focus did all the work. I just saw the yawn!

godzilla_lives,

Welp, reckon it’s time I take my happy ass down to the local used game store and sell my Xbox. Thing’s collecting dust anyway. I think I’ll get a new camera lens instead.

godzilla_lives,

Basically this, for me. I want my devices to be more dedicated to a singular purpose, so I’m not tethered to my phone all day. Having a camera, an MP3 player, and a handheld makes my actions feel more purposeful. Building off that, having a “one-stop-shop” type of device or service or anything really imo makes the overall experience worse. Think Wal-mart versus a dedicated electronics store or something.

godzilla_lives,

Every time. Surprised they’re still around tbh.

godzilla_lives,

For what it’s worth, this Internet dude is very happy that you’re making progress.

godzilla_lives,

This week is going well so far. Bought a new camera so I’ve been really excited to try it out. I mostly take pictures of planes, and I’m trying to experiment more with shutter speeds and aperture and yadda. I live directly under a landing pattern for the local airport, so it’s not hard for me to time a plane landing and get a decent shot.

Here’s a Delta 717 coming in:

As a bonus, not only am I rediscovering my adolescent love for photography, I’m getting outside more. I’ve actually met some of my neighbors doing this. And I think the anticipatory aspect of waiting for a plane to come in gives me something to look forward to as well, so that’s pretty cool.

godzilla_lives,

I will drive my 2003 Envoy I inherited into the ground, and after that it’s a 2008 Camry, and then I’ll ride that into the ground. Good God, if kid-me would have known adult-me would have turned into a Luddite…

godzilla_lives,

Yeah true, kid-me would be very proud that I’m opposed to anti-labor practices!

Instagram Advertises Nonconsensual AI Nude Apps (www.404media.co)

Instagram is profiting from several ads that invite people to create nonconsensual nude images with AI image generation apps, once again showing that some of the most harmful applications of AI tools are not hidden on the dark corners of the internet, but are actively promoted to users by social media companies unable or...

godzilla_lives,

I believe Tim means to say that the spread of misinformation can be linked to the rise of Flat Earthers. That if we can only trust what we see before us, and we see a flat horizon, we can directly interpret this visual to mean that the Earth is flat. Thus, if we cannot trust our own eyes and ears, how can future courtroom evidence be trusted?

^ basically that

godzilla_lives,

What’s the use of autonomy when a button does it all?

godzilla_lives, (edited )

Week’s going pretty well so far. I recently got back into photography, and I happen to live directly under a landing pattern for the local airport, so I’ve been trying to get decent shots of planes landing. It’s a lot of fun watching the flight radar, tracking flights, and running out to set up my camera in time. I only have a short moment before they dip behind the trees, but I’m getting there! I’m also getting some pretty good shots of the moon from my balcony. This camera’s from 2017 and is used, but it’s not bad!

Having to prepare myself for this weekend though. CW: grief: this will be the first time we celebrate my mom’s birthday without her, and I already know it’s going to be equal parts hard, surreal, and sad. We’re going to go out and see my dad and just hang out, not really sure what the plan is. My aunt wants to release butterflies or something, which seems a bit trite and exploitative to the animals, but to be honest Bees, I’m not trying to get into that. We’re all grieving in our weird little ways. I think I’ll try and find her old camera equipment, swap this bag I’m using out for her old one.

But enough about that. It’s good to let it out and all, but I’m not trying to dwell on that shit, so have some pictures!
