    And I would bet good money that by next year they'll be harvesting their garlic from the supermarket again...

    The funniest is the raw dogging trend on flights, public sport, restaurants etc....like it's such a novel idea to not have yourself hooked up to social media all the time and how avant garde is it to just sit and stare out the window etc, lmao.

    Is that what that means?!? I saw that on the travel post and...was a bit confused. That's the brag? Not on social media? 🤣

    I mean - how much were they paying for garlic to start with? It's like a dollar for 3

    Depends on where you live. Where I live it's fairly expensive, and I use a lot. But the main motivation for growing my own was not the price, it was the quality. It's hard (here) to buy decent garlic, everything is full of Chinese s*** (not a dig against a race or a country, just this particular produce), and even the better tasting garlic is not treated/dried properly, because that way it's quicker to sell and can charge more (weighs more). But it means that it spoils very fast. Store bought garlic is also mostly the "fall type" , because it has much lager cloves, but has less flavour and spoils fast, while the better quality "spring type" is hard to find.

    Garlic is an invasive weed, and hard to properly cultivate. Don't plant it, your whole neighborhood will thank you. It took us years to rid our yard of garlic, and it still pops up occasionally.

    Try mint! It's just as invasive and has the same zombie mentality, but it smells great.

    City people are not taught this by parents or teachers, that's the result. I just watched a documentary about Belarus and people gathered mushrooms, wild strawberries and so on. They know more about nature than many city folks in the West.

    I wonder if that person knows growing garlic is at least a two year commitment.

    There are lots of different types of garlic. Where I live they are first divided into two main groups, "fall type" and "spring type", as in ones you're supposed to plant before winter, and ones after winter. The latter goes into the soil around early March, and is harvested around mid or end of July. The fall type goes in around October-November, and is harvested next June. The fall type is much larger, but has less flavour and spoils quicker. The other one has smaller bulbs and more, but smaller cloves, but is more flavourful and can easily last for a year and a half in the pantry before it starts to spoil.

    And what? You're just going to go without garlic while you're waiting months for the new bulbs to grow and mature?

    No, you buy a few bulbs to eat while you're waiting for your first harvest, and from then on you really don't but any more. Proper, quality garlic doesn't spoil easy, so you just hang it up in the pantry, and use as needed, and/or can also make the best garlic powder out of it, or can freeze it as well. Every year you get a new harvest, and between harvests you use what you already have. We bought maybe half a kilos years ago, once, and since then the two of us plus three other families are supplied, with lots to spare.

    Because I read the message in case it’s an emergency, which in most cases it isn’t, and am too busy with something to reply right away. Then I forget about it and don’t remember until days later, at which point I‘m too embarrassed to reply at all.

    I go shopping with my mum a lot, mainly because I don't have any friends to go with and every time I end up regretting it. It takes her 3x as long to look through a store as it takes me.

    Tickets are the bigger risk, n doubt. Scalpers are a bigger problem than airlines, despite the latter's best efforts.

    I'd loved to have been that guy/girl in school that had it all figured out or had a talent. Or even had parents that made an effort to guide me in anyway. The older you get, the more doors close while your figuring out where your jigsaw piece fits.

    This one time I slept funny and completely lost feeling in my foot. Not pins and needles, I just couldn't feel it at all. Then it got better. Kinda confusing.

    I was having suicidal thoughts a while back. my friend helped me cope with it by googling most painless suicide methods and reading the wiki page with me. how utterly unsympathetic she was actually really helped for some reason.

    The four years in between mean nothing, to say nothing of Japan's actions in Asia even before 1941. Learn some real history before this bulldung. No comparison. And please remember that Japan is a different country now.
