Going to add extra leaf litter to my isopod tank, but am wondering if there are any kinds of leaves I should avoid giving them?

I'll probably just get some oak leaves from the ground since they're abundant, maybe pick and dry some leaves from a catolpa near my house for something bigger.

I want to learn more about how animals work mechanically, how muscles and tendons work together to create the range of movement that suits said animals lifestyle.

I've been struggling to come up with a sophont creature design that feels "right" to me. I feel like I can't square what I want from it aesthetically and what I want its evolutionary history to be, I think having a better understanding of how animals move and manipulate their environment would help me find the path forwards.

So isopods like dark places, but moss needs UV light to photosynthesize and stay alive.

If I wanted to get some moss from outside to put in an isopod enclosure, could I keep it alive without torturing the isopods?

Id love to try and keep some sort of plant life alive in an isopod enclosure, maybe that'd be more akin to a terrarium? But since my home is kept very dark (SO gets headaches from bright light) I think I'd need to add a UV light of some kind to keep any photosynthesizing stuff alive.

Trying to find the Oz Vault vid where one of the reddit stories is that a neighbor tried to steal OPs Siamese cat by taking it to her house and bleaching the dark parts, but then the cat scratched the hell out her hand and ran back to OP.

So, spoilers for the movie obviously.

I'm wondering if the way >!Papillon!< was killed (>!buried upside down in the dirt with just his lower legs sticking out in the dirt!<) was a literary or historical reference? Like was it an execution method, a torture from Dante's inferno? Considering how much alchemy stuff and history the movie draws from I wouldn't be surprised.

&#x200B;

It seemed so horrifically specific that I felt like I was missing a reference.

Okay so, since we know that >!the player character respawning is a cannon power they have!<, I'm wondering what other gameplay mechanics are "real" in the world of the game.

Is this world literally made of blocks and voxels, is it literally flat? Do Seraphs have insane strength to carry huge stacks of wood?

I'm sure it's mostly just gameplay stuff but I figured I could ask.

I'm almost 32, autistic (but very good at masking so people usually don't know unless I tell them) and recently landed my first full time job. I make what I think is a good salary, and I don't have to pay rent (living on my grandpa's land with his permission), so I feel like I should be doing well right now, but instead I just feel constantly tired and unmotivated to do anything else but work and veg out.

I'm providing for myself and my physically disabled partner who can't drive, and can't walk or stand for long periods without severe pain, and isn't strong enough to do simple tasks like cooking or moving heavy groceries. They are also very highly affectionate and want to constantly spend time with me cuddling or watching things together, when all I want to do is be left alone to recharge. I'm not mad at them for needing help or wanting affection, but I sometimes wish I didn't have to do all this, that i could just be alone and single, and I feel awful for thinking that. I can't tell if I'm being selfish or if I need to just suck it up and be better.

I used to be more available to them while I was unemployed, because I was able to get enough time to recharge so I spend some energy on them, but now it feels like I'm constantly at a deficit of recharge time and every minor inconvenience that comes with being someone's Significant Other feels like it's eating away at precious down time.

I'm watching my grandma's (not married to grandpa, different side of family) house while she's out of town, watering her plants, feeding her cats, etc. Being out of our tiny mobile home and being by myself all day feels really really nice, and I feel horrible for thinking that. I find myself wishing that my partner would find someone else to be happy with, someone who was more on their wavelength wrt affection, someone who could better handle full time work and full time caregiving. But I don't know if that person exists. Maybe this is just normal for neuro divergent people in relationships, I don't know.

I don't want to talk to my grandparents or parents about this, because they're biased towards me and my well being and I'm worried they won't give my partner the benefit of the doubt. I am hesitant to bring these feelings up to my partner because I'm a perpetual appeaser and they're sensative to feeling like a burden due to their disability. So some outside perspectives would really be appreciated.

I think it was an AITA style post, where the OP is a surgeon and claims to want his FIL to move out for good unselfish reasons, but then his wife finds the post and fuckin eviscerates him by telling how he only wants the FIL gone cause his daughters like him more than OP, and how she knows he's cheating and is going to file for divorce and basically everyone was better off when OP fucked off with his mistress.

I think the way it folds is neat and was curious if you can make versions with different numbers of folds

Most of the warnings I, a hearing person, encounter wrt the dangers of loud sounds has to do with hearing loss. So I'm wondering if you don't have any hearing to lose, do you still need to do things like wear earplugs or headphones around loud machines?
