Defining characteristic of arid is little precipitation. Desert is more about sandy soil that supports sparse vegetation. If wasteland can accumulate organic material, and start rebuilding the soil, it starts retaining more water, which bri

Memes don't necessarily make it harder. However, memes can be used to simultaneously include and exclude -- as references to something the "tribe" gets, but others outside the tribe do not. Inside jokes are an example of such

It's not. But people also need some kind of shared meaning and a sense of belonging as well.

Root systems are not necessarily just about being able to hold soil or not getting knocked over. I don’t know what the parent comment meant by that, but I do know the root zone is vital for plants. Plants do not directly mine minerals. Inst

I wrote a different comment about my experiences with miscarriages, and how experiencing that lead me to understand something: You are already a father. You are already a parent, even though the baby has not been born. You're already a

I'd like to speak a bit more about miscarriages, not to jinx the OP, but because this is rarely spoken about in the public. I don't meant to instill FUD, but rather, I'm trying to help others along with their own journey. I a

You can gain skills like archery this way. However, that kind of attitude and frame will not work well for a healthy relationship. People’s feelings are not outcomes you can manage your way towards. You are, of course, free to do as you lik

I specifically talk about going inward to find out who you really are — and that does mean, it is not about the role model. Or rather, if you are going to use a role model, there is a particular confusion I advise watching out for. Your own

I’m glad you learned not to try to be what you think the other person wants. What I meant by authenticity goes more than that. It’s gaining an intuitive knowing of who you really are, past the layers of beliefs and conditionings. It’s more

Hmm. To address this: Assholes are those who do not have the well-being of others at heart. They are generally wrapped up un psychological armoring, wanting to make an impact while also don’t want to be touched. As such, they have terrible

You cannot make anyone fall in love with you. That belief that you can, and the hubris that goes with it, leads to twisty and dark places. Instead, 1. Be the best, and authentic person you can be. Authenticity is not found by looking outsid

I said for example, "this isn't necessarily a power trip". I said nothing more, and nothing less. And yet many people took that to mean something a lot more. I say, "there are deeper issues at play", yet people are

Thank you for asking. I think many of the responses to my comment ended up talking about parental rights, rather than this question you brought up, and I appreciate the opportunity to explore this. I am most definitely not saying that well-

I have a grown daughter, a two-year old, and one on the way. There are lots of things you can’t tell just by text. Who said anything about defending this? I happen to agree with the author of that article, including things she did not elabo

If that is what you care about and get angry about, I won't gainsay it. In my view, that is the smaller issue of the bigger issues at play. The author of the article, and what he is advocating for, is broader than that, but hey, if peo

That, while is an important issue, is not the most important issue brought out by this article. Life is uncertain, and adults are called to choices weigh risk and opportunities. And there is an epidemic of teenagers and young adults right

Letting an adult figure go with the kids to Dunkin Donuts for their safety misses the point. The deeper issue is that using “safety” as the only metric for enforcement is leading to a society where the next generation of adults is ill equi

This is not necessarily a power trip. There are people who genuinely feel that way, and are doing this for the public good. I think there has been a confusion in our society between well-being and safety. There are definitely circumstances

It is not the only way to go. However, for people starting out, with no experience, then you have to have something else to show for it.
