Hi there, would you like to try some spicy products?

Birthday-chili-update:

My Lemon drop being harvested and groomed:


"Up-Canopy"-shot from my Apache:


My younger Peach Ghost has been going absolutely nuts due to the Belichtungs-confusion and has been growing massive lateral Triebs, as well as Furchttriebe straight up.
Reeled her in, cut her back, and tied her up a bit to make sure all the seitwärtstriebe get some more exposure:


My older Peach Ghost only had a couple of ripe "chili-berries" to harvest after my fertilization mishap, but has since grown some absolute loving chonkers


There's not even a lot to say about this loving champ. My Reaper is currently the tallest of my chilis, and it took a bit of finagling to tie her together since she was getting too much of a wingspan, but it worked out.


350 chilis combined this harvest. Hell, I even weighed them, and at 672 grams, it turns out I harvested more than a literal POUND of chilis. :)


Best hobby ever, and I'll feier nach tomorrow due to the lovely weather today.


/edit: I had to hurt my little ones a bit :(

I tried reading this and I got absolutely no clue what it is trying to say. Only thing I am getting is that they really love russia for some reason and maybe that corona is gonna be used to enslave people via capitalisming the vaccine?

Also, since this is the low-key thread to complain about corona shopping experiences, my latest Penny trip had me a little perturbed when I saw a young kid bouncing around all over the store, not even wearing a mask at all. Because with schools opening they are totally not gonna be an amazing transmission vector or anything :v:

different countries have different definitions for what regions are included when you say "asia". iirc india is the most obvious difference when talking about DE vs UK EN vs US EN etc but there's a bunch of groupings that shift between languages or even within variants of english

saying it was "fierce" was a joke. but people's reactions seem to be mostly "no, there's no way, how could you even consider doing it so wrong"

Nobody, but e.g. American English would never apply the descriptor "Asian" to a person of Indian descent, whereas that seems more common in British English.

Everyone agrees what Asia is (give or take some countries in in the near east and caucasus). It's just that in the UK "Asian" primarily means "South Asian", and you'd picture an Indian person. In US and the rest of Europe, "Asian" primarily means "East Asian" and you'd picture a typical Chinese person.

"West Asians" are only ever included in "Asian" if you want to nitpick (Turks are Asian! Israelis are Asian! Arabs are Asian!). Not sure about Central Asians, maybe it depends on what they look like.

as someone from rural america, the south in particular, and i would say this is far different than citydwellers, i can tell you the popular definition of 'asian' is someone of east or southeastern asian descent. if they ever even decided to give it the time of day, they'd probably realize india was part of asia, but never consider them 'real' asian. i think my dad thinks it's part of the middle east actually. as for the middle east...hooboy. i highly, highly doubt many people from where i'm from have even thought of where it is continentally. it's just a bad place with bad people. ultimately they'd probably come to it's part of asia, but again, not 'real' asian.

the south is a very stupid and very isolated and very tribal place, but some of us figured that out and left when we could!

That is correct. However, if using Android, because of Google, you not only have to turn on Bluetooth but also location tracking.

I think South Asia is also considered Brown People? This post caused me to look up "brown people", and turns out it was originally used by racialists to describe South-East Asians and Polynesians. Then some other white guy used it for Ethiopians and Egyptians, and then people just ran with it and had the "brown race" extend all the way from Madagascar to Micronesia, and from Sri Lanka to the Caucasus. Lol.

Also "chinaman" is a bad word these days.

It appears to be a bit of a mixed thing with "brown". I have Indian and Sri Lankan friends in Europe who refer to themselves as being brown, though very rarely. But I would never say that, to me that seems only neutral when they say it.

But I am white, so the only thing I know for sure is that I don't know.

There's a quirk that I've only ever noticed from the south but I don't know if it's all over the states, but it's this positive use of "anymore".

So whereas I'd say "I don't eat meat anymore" yet "I'm always anxious every time I have to leave the house these days", whereas a (southern?) american might more likely say "..every time i have to leave the house anymore" or something

A friend from Arkansas uses it in this way and it's definitely one of those clashing words for me

I thought it's sinking because they stopped mandatory testing for returning tourists?

At this point, do we have good data for what the distribution between asymptomatic, very mild, bedrest, hospital, ICU cases is for a given age group?
