Well well. Wasn't that a fun read. Good effing grief.

Identity is a construct. Identify however you wish to be identified. You will be judged by and perceived as the identity people inevitably assign to you, regardless of how you self identify. Hopefully it matches. Maybe it won't.

Mostly, just try to be okay with yourself. Be a decent human and people will generally be okay with you.

It does something for the victim and I think it could affect the department. But I understand what you're saying.

I never hear of officers being sued though. I wonder if they are protected somehow.

Here's a website countdown: https://www.webcountdown.net/?c=1863604800

I think I need to put a widget on my phone. 😏

I'm a "discord admin" too! Nuts!

Your first step might be finding someone who can mentor you and help you and teach you a bit. Someone with patience and who is caring.

To be honest though, it sounds like some good therapeutic council would do you very well and bring quality of life.

Okay, this one made me smile. 😁

I mean, we might as well just go all in. It seems like most everyone is running headlong into apocalypse anyway.

I just don't have the capacity for this. Ugh.

I mean, time-travel stories typically involve traveling by way of some mechanism be it a spell, wormhole, tear in spacetime and etc. The end goal is usually traveling from one point to another with a purpose. Characters can travel back and forth. Everyone usually remembers each encounter.

Time-loops, like in Groundhog's Day or Edge of Tomorrow, usually cause people to get "stuck." Some plot device is then introduced to eventually "unstick" them. Only the people stuck in the loop are usually aware that anything is happening.

AP: What to know about Tulsi Gabbard, Trump’s pick to be director of national intelligence https://apnews.com/article/trump-gabbard-director-national-intelligence-466dfdfe2f949ea20bc2f4ef13e21438

Just read this article because I honestly don't know who Gabbard is. Interestingly, I agree with a lot of her views of the Democratic party. Backing Bernie in 2016 says something good. But.. to leave the party and then eventually end up becoming a Republican, oath-bound Trumpite? I'm genuinely confused as to who she really is and what she stands for.

But... I don't really have much to say beyond that. Not a single person Trump is surrounding himself with is someone that brings me hope. This cluster just gets worse by the day. And unfortunately, it seems Gabbard will just add to it.

 

This is kind of big news. I never would have expected it.

Is there any way to install and use the Gemini App without the Google App and forced association of the account with my Android phone?

I have a specific Google account just for Gemini, but I neither use the Google app nor desire for my phone to maintain this alt google account as one of the phone associates accounts. I think many folks would prefer login stay within the app itself.

 

Another positive step in the right direction for an organization rife with brokenness. There's a lot I don't like about the organization, but this is something a love--a scouting organization open to young women and the lgbtq community. The next step is being inclusive of nonreligious agnostic and atheist youth and leaders. As well as ending the cultural appropriation of Native American peoples.

May this organization continue to build up youth, never allow further violence against youth, and make amends for all the wrongs. There's a lot of good that comes out of organizations like this and I won't discount it even though it's riddled with a dark history.

Could anyone recommend a OnePlus 11 telephoto lens attachment? My searches are coming up dry so far.

 

Photo Description

Top Left: Tree unbalanced. Left side producing little. Right side producing well.

Top Right: Shown from opposite side. Full limbs visible without flowering.

Bottom left: Close up of the left side of the tree. Several branches not flowering down full length.

Bottom right: Closer view of the graft and up.

Please do ask for any more clarifying photos if you think it would help.

Questions:

  • The tree just started blooming this week. Is it too late to start pruning or should I wait until Autumn?

  • Pruning the tree is going to make it even more lopsided than it already is. Would you all recommend trimming back the healthy branches so it's not so heavy on one side?

  • This website gives the advice below. Any thoughts otherwise?

Thank you all so much!


How to Prune a Weeping Cherry Tree

The different types of weeping cherries can grow to between eight and 40 feet tall. Proper pruning keeps these trees looking beautiful and can prevent the development and spread of diseases. Prune while the tree is dormant (no flowers or leaves on the branches) in early spring or late fall. Take the following steps once a year with bypass pruning shears or a pole pruner.

  • Cut back any branches that contact the ground until they’re at least six inches off the ground.
  • Remove branches that are rubbing against each other.
  • Trim back branches that are closer than two inches apart.
  • Remove dead branches.
  • Remove stems or branches growing out of the trunk or around the base of the tree (a.k.a. suckers).
  • Trim back the tips of the branches around the perimeter of the canopy until it’s a balanced, uniform shape.
  • Remove branches that are growing straight up on grafted cherry trees because they will continue to grow upward instead of weeping down.
  • Thin out the mangled cluster of branches that often develops near the base of the canopy of grafted trees.
  • Remove diseased branches as soon as they’re discovered, regardless of the time of year. Sterilize the blade of your cutting tool in between cuts to prevent disease spread.
 

So glad to finally hear an update on this and see that he's actually being punished. I hope others learn from this.
