think most of us in the same boat honestly. the thing with online communities is that they're a failure more than they're not. there's a reason why the format keeps changing every couple of years. a lot of us still on this thing because it's the last active one that retains some aspects of humanity we find important like telling each other to fuck off. this at the expense of dealing with a lot of blackhole type stuff like that post or the /pol/tards co-opting half the boards for their boomer tier retardation. man, i'm tired.

The fleeting impermanence is what gives comfy its greatest value, fren. Unironically leave the past behind and forget about the future for a while and just concentrate on living in the moment. I know it sounds gay and pinterest-tier but it really is the best way to deal with those anxieties

Hello my brother. Why are you stuck in the barracks on block leave? Go home, or go somewhere. Or, at least take the opportunity to work out, put your room together, make plans for the next year, etc.

The issue is that OP is humble bragging. Still sounds comfy though.

>>21309103
Know that while work will be uncomfy, you will once again return to comfy-ness at a later time. The main trick to getting through tough things is to reflect on a better time and know that the probability is fair that another good (or at least tolerable) time will eventually come again. If you're worried about work, you could also try to get a comfy job, or at least one that allows you to tackle difficult work on your own terms.

This is Gary. He has esoteric commercial agriculture insights for your home gardening SANDY LOAM -- what's sold to consumers as potting soil is compost -- compost that will inevitably rot out your plants roots and be susceptible to over watering. e.g. if you have orchids, never ever do the ice cube thing; this evil was designed to kill you plant eventually Look into UV lamps for your plants.

Try iron for beneficial biota (& the bad ones don't like it), throw some rusty metal bits into the base soil. Can always try to splice from an established tree if it looks perma stunted, and use it as the base.

Europe is a dream that was raped in 1939 and tortured for 6 more years, and has been slowly dying ever-since. But I get the sense that since you mentioned you are in Europe, I assume that you're a filthy American tourist who doesn't see the truth.

I’m genuinely embarrassed to be European, why the fuck did we let ourselves fall so far below our former glory?
I hate to admit it but Americans are fucking right, Europeans toda are decadent and completely apathetic about the fate of their continent, shit is falling apart everywhere but no one does anything.
Where’s the glory, where’s the beauty, our countries are quickly turning into hellholes with small ugly cities, uncompetitive economies and dull, miserable people who hate their lives.
The only reason to live here is because everywhere else is worse, America is still a better place to live even counting the wild niggers shooting at you and the horrendous anti-intellectual culture of goyslop

I am also in a small town, but in America.

Living next to a farm, I write books and articles to get by.

It is very quiet and peaceful with the trees and the autumn rolling in. I get a lot of fresh air and sun and do not worry about much.

It's nice to set the heat on and have something warm like some coffee. Lights are going up for Christmas. Mostly am working on nonfiction, but have a novel in the works.
