I've never used the front loader tractor attachment. I prefer a skid steer but my farm on the Alma map in FS25 came with one. Am I able to detach it? Every time I try I get an error that it can't be detached in its current state. Thanks.
I’m looking for a map with a rural Appalachian/Ozark redneck vibe, but not in a mocking way. I’m thinking working-class backwoods farm life: wooded hills, old trucks, trailers, small towns, creeks, hunting/fishing energy, older machinery, and a community that feels lived-in.
Any suggestions?
I was texted by an animal rescue friend at 5 in the morning who asked if I could go find this possibly sick, flightless bird someone posted about on Facebook. She said if I captured it, wildlife rehab would take care of it. I was like "ok fine" and honestly when I was walking there with my cat carrier and PPE I was hoping it wouldn't be there. I looked around for a bit and spotted her under a picnic table. She didn't put up much of a fight. I brought her home and put her on the balcony for about thirty minutes (I was worried about having a potentially sick bird in my home) and someone quickly showed up and took her away.
She was scared but so gentle. She never tried to peck me, she didn't grunt or show many signs of discomfort or stress (aside from flapping a bit when I put her in the cage).
They said they think she's a discarded pet. She's doing well and they're giving her medicine and a full examination soon. They sent me a video of her and told me they'd keep me posted. They also gave me some advice on how to avoid having any parasites or germs enter my home.
These birds are so silly and adorable. I love them so much and I talk to them all the time (I can make a very convincing coo noise with my throat). Bird memes also helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I once considered getting a pigeon tattoo in honor of that. Maybe I should?
The animal rescue lady assigned her the name "Bo Peep." Not what I would pick but I get that these places go through a lot of animals and usually just go down a list. I also learned that she's a piebald pigeon, which I guess just describes the coloration.
I'm considering volunteering to do this type of pigeon rescue in the future. A lot of wildlife rescue in my area is done informally by people with minimal or no training. I just feel like out of all the critters on this earth, we're the only ones that have the ability to take care of all the others. Is this misguided? I don't want to make things worse for a distressed animal.
I feel like I've got AI fatigue. I've been exposed to LLMs so much, for work and fun, that now I can spot AI writing so easily and it just annoys me. It seems like things written by AI are just trying to hit a word count, they'll repeat the same idea 8 times in different ways and call it a paragraph. Just seeing the AI accent, "it's not this, it's that" and so on, makes me stop reading immediately. And I'm someone who likes using AI. I feel like AI writing peaked with ChatGPT 4o.
Also I typed this into ChatGPT and it responded with "You're not imagining it..." and I wanted to throw my phone across the room.
Anyone else feeling this? Any ideas to spice things up? I've tried using Gemini and grok, and I've made my own system prompts in LM Studio but it feels like I'm hitting a wall. I'm now mostly using AI to brainstorm and categorize things but I keep it far away from anything I'm actually writing.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
