I'm 27 and I feel completely disenchanted with life, like I died already. I won't go into my whole sob story, but I've experienced enough that I'm completely jaded. I'm pretty isolated at this point. Very little has gone well in my life. I do have a partner that I don't want to devastate, but I have this sense of clarity now that I've basically seen what there is to see and my life isn't going to improve. I've struggled for a long time. I'm ready to be done. I don't really feel much emotion about ending it. I'm close to calculating out how much money I need to make to ensure my partner isn't financially destroyed by my decision and determining how to distance him from me beforehand to make it a less traumatic blow. Has anyone come back from this mindset or nah

I'm 27 and recently became aware that needing 10-16 hours of sleep a night is not normal. Is anyone else like this? I just found out I have celiac, so I've been fully gf for about 3 weeks now. Before that I consumed limited gluten as I thought I was just intolerant

I was really broke and I desired cheese. I'd go to the grocery store with my roommates, I'd steal cheese for everyone while they bought stuff and we'd share it. I was never caught and I feel no remorse

I'm currently in Ohio and am trapped in perpetual poverty despite my 4 year degree and my job. I went into fine art, a field that's basically networking based, but the pandemic happened during my sophomore year, the whole college went online and it destroyed the careers of my entire graduating class. The job market here is particularly bad at the moment, and the company I work at is run by morons who are destroying it (I give the company 5 years tops before it collapses completely.) I'm now 27 and I'd like a future. I'm thinking of studying ecology with the intention of doing field research abroad, or maybe entering an MFA program if I can get into one and there's an art economy in the area. Given I'm well under the poverty line, I'd basically need to transfer my position to Minneapolis, relocate, claim residency, and I should be eligible for the program. I'm interested in the experiences of anyone else who's used the program or has insight on any of the other points I mentioned.

I've got 3 buckets of doom in operation. I've been monitoring two of them that had wigglers, and not only are they still alive, but it looks like their numbers have increased and they're congregating around the dunk? What does this mean

I'm at my wits end

I've gone my whole life thinking I was gluten intolerant, but while researching the difference between intolerance/celiac a series of events occurred which revealed that I actually have celiac disease. Until this point I've indulged in limited gluten consumption (which is probably the reason my immune system is currently kind of weak.) I'm now cutting it out entirely. One of the things I'm unclear on is that some products don't contain gluten as an ingredient, but are made in a facility that makes other products that do, and thus could contain trace amounts. Should I avoid these products entirely, or do people still consume them?

I'm 27 years old. Unfortunately the past six years of my life have been ridden with profound betrayal from people I was very attached to. I'm now extremely isolated, but despite my best efforts I can't form new relationships with others because I'm too closed off. I've unfortunately developed a baseline feeling of wariness/contempt towards other people, and have caught myself immediately writing people off for surface level reasons. I used to be open and nonjudgmental to the point of naïvety, and now I'm just like, aloof and kind of a dick. I really want to make new friends and break out of this cynical mindset, but I simultaneously cannot stand to be around anybody anymore. Has anyone else experienced this and found a way out of it?

So there were a couple serviceberry trees near me that someone cut down. About a week later I dragged the cut tree over and am currently pulling off all the berries, but I thought I could maybe propagate some of the branches from cuttings because I nicked one and the branches are greenish under the bark. I've cut a bunch of pencil-ish sized branches and temporarily put them in a jug of water so they don't dry out. I have zero rooting powder/gel or sand to put these in. I've been asking chat GPT what to do (I know) and it's telling me to rub the ends of the cuttings in aloe vera? Can someone tell me the lowest cost way to propagate these cuttings, and also if it's even feasible to do so?

I currently have a large yard and a tree line and I'm interested in planting native fruit bearing plants. I'd like to plant a native red mulberry tree, but most vendors are passing off hybrids with invasive mulberry trees as real reds (infuriating) so I'd like to instead grow stem cuttings from an existing red mulberry. I'm in the Columbus area. Does anyone know the location of a genuine red mulberry?
