New Plant Day!

New Plant Day!

Received this awesome tropical pitcher plant from Sarracenia Northwest. It actually has two plants in it and they are doing great! 😊

36/M USA Musician Looking To Ramble

I am currently in a weird place in life where I am mostly stuck at work and never get to see my friends or loved ones because of my work schedule. I am usually up late at night and yearning for human connection. (There’s only so many movies to watch and games to play…)

I consider myself an artist, I write poetry and music. I’m a lifelong musician and currently play guitar and bass. I also have a lifelong love of playing video games. (Although, I’m not nearly as active as I once was.)
I currently live in the American Midwest, but was born and raised in the south. Oh, I’m also obsessed with carnivorous plants. I have several which I love to feed and watch grow.

I usually make friends with women, so I would prefer a female or NB penpal. I would also prefer an older penpal. (Late 20’s minimum) I’ve had snail-mail pen pals before, but I am considering using email. Mainly for ease of access and also because my hand writing is pretty awful. (Save the trees!?) Feel free to DM me if you want to chat! :)

Dark clouds

Can’t shake this shadow overwhelmingly
Limiting my ability to breathe
Blinding my sight unseen

Can’t see a future proceeding me
Drowning my psyche with morbidity
Freezing my thoughts in the past

Present action has yet to free me
Survival methods built on instinct
Keep me stuck in endless dreams

Digging at the same artifacts decaying
Frozen in the tomorrow of yesterday

Ping leaves?

Do my ping’s leaves look ok? After taking this picture, I moved it farther from the lamp, as I suspected it was getting too much light/heat perhaps… When I had it in a windowsill the leaves seemed to last much longer…What do you all think? (Watered twice a week, tray method, kept around 75-80F, w/light breeze from fan) All my other plants seem to be doing fine, but this one was closest to the lamp…

Jamming device?

So… One night I was awoken through the very thin walls in my apartment. I was sleeping on the couch and when I awoke, muttered to myself, “shut the fuck up”. Supposedly they heard that and they took it personally. Since then they have been communicating with me 24/7. Trying to keep me awake all night. Telling me to kill myself. Threatening to break into my apartment and kidnap me, steal things, and threatening to call the cops for so and so reason. Somehow they are able to see what I’m doing, hear me talk without opening my mouth, analyze my eye-movement to interpret my emotions and know what I’m going to say before I say it. They also, allegedly “hacked” my AirPods and talk to me through them when I’m at work. Despite all this, I’m doing ok….all things considered. It’s entertaining at times, but is highly distracting and interferes with my day-to-day life. Their main goal seems to be forcing me to move. They say there is an autistic person living with them and that I make too much noise.
Their motto is, “you fucked with the wrong people”
But they also insist that they’re not gangstalking me.

The purpose of this post is to see if anyone has had any luck with a Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or other type of “jamming” device. I’ve noticed that being around lots of metal seems to quiet their means of communication. Also, being in close proximity to other people quiets them as well.

Any help is much appreciated even if it’s just sharing anything you’ve experienced that’s related. Thanks in advance.

What’s up with my beloved Ping?

First picture is current. Second picture is from last summer. The leaves are turning a weird white color under the food. (Ants) I got a new grow light and the leaves are finally starting to show color again, but have yet to fatten up yet. Any advice is much appreciated.

(40watt grow light, 12 hours on) Recently switched to distilled water after learning Brita filters are not appropriate for filtering the water. Kept around 75-80F and roughly 50% humidity indoors.

Inanimate Sensation Hotline?

You guys remember when they dropped this track they had a phone number to call and leave a message? Wonder if they ever listened to all of them….Or if Ride and Zach get bored sometimes and are like “hey wanna listen to one of the voicemails? lol”
Did you guys call the hotline/voicemail? I know I did, I can’t remember what I said though…

*Edit* apparently it was when they released “Trash”
I have a bad memory

I really love the first Puscifer album. It’s so experimental and weird compared to anything Maynard had worked on previously. I think his deep vocals really set it apart. Such a weird blend of sarcasm/comedy mixed with existential questioning. I feel like he didn’t really take the group seriously/it was just for fun and killing time between Tool albums. And maybe that’s why it came out feeling so liberating. Feels like the vibes really changed between the first and second album. I’m not sure what happened during that time period. Anyways, I tried listening to the newest album, but it’s so serious and just feels like Maynard’s solo project. I’m probably not articulating my point that well. But I know some of you feel what I’m getting at. Any other OG Puscifer fans relate to this?
