    It really seems like my grocery store (a Kroger brand) has been doing this for a bit now.

    Prices on certain things vary wildly depending on the time of the month or the day of the week. Plus, with their bullshit, incessant push for everyone to use their app and online ordering, it seems like this will be much more common moving forward.


  • Great setup! It feels so good to have a such a big head-start on the growing season!

    You’ll be feeling extra great when it comes time to plant in the ground and your starts are further along than anything you could have purchased or grown from seed right when the season starts.

    Post progress pics later!









  • Nothing as profound as what you described there…
    But… The Last Of Us was an experience for me…

    I hadn’t played a “new” game in about 8-10 years at that point, so the huge increase in development was mind blowing to me.
    But really, the intensity of the story is what really did it for me. I legit got teary eyed in the intro, and then the burning restaurant scene made me ball my eyes out…

    Phenomenal fucking game

    Or, to bring it back to my youth… The Illusion of Gaia was probably the first game I played that made me feel things. That was so long ago, and I was so young when that came out that being specific about it is hard. But I think I really related with the main character, and I remember really feeling things during the lost-at-sea raft scene.

    I might need to go find the ROM now…

    **Or, to go a bit further back, Dragon Warrior.
    That was the first game I ever played that really captivated me. It was the first RPG I ever played, and even tho the storyline is incredibly basic and cliche, it was the first time I experienced a story at all in a video game. It’s definitely the reason that I prefer fantasy RPGs over every other type of game












  • Like clockwork, every year. Usually happens 2 or 3 weeks both before and after the winter solstice.

    I try to make sure I’m getting plenty of vitamin D. And I try to make sure I’m getting outside for a bit everyday. Exercise helps a lot too - anything that’ll get your blood flowing and heart pumping.

    I also make a rule for myself that I’m not allowed to make any big decisions or big commitments during that time of year because the depression can cloud my judgement. Not making commitments is hard with the holidays tho, so if I have to I also leave myself a way out of them if needed. I’ve become an expert at giving a “definite maybe” in response to commitments lol

    In my early 20’s, broke-ass hippie-ish acidhead days, my friends and I made it thru several 12hr long trips without money for smokes by just tricking our brains. We would take straws or broken pencils or whathaveyou, just to hold in our hands while we were frying. IT. FUCKING. WORKED. Every time.

    At my age now, and the baggage I hold onto, getting psychedelic is less appealing than it was back then. But it’s not hard to use that headspace to flip switches in your brain. Especially if you’re going into it with that intention.
