That "Love Languages" thing is an unholy combination of one-weird-trickification of interpersonal interaction and a way for pieces of poo poo to excuse themselves for being pieces of poo poo. IIRC it's also a trojan horse for the author's conservative christian family dynamics, but I could be misremembering. Anyway I just realized there was less time between the release of Earthbound and Mother 3 than there's been from Mother 3 'til now. Woah!

It's a lot less That's what people upthread are saying about giving/receiving being different for people. And it it's not any more selfish than any other one, this is just describing what makes people feel valued/loved in a relationship, and what is the most natural way they show love/value. Obviously the guy who came up with it is an issue, but as a communication concept it makes sense which is why it is pretty mainstream as an idea. Like if someone feels valued when their partner does something nice for them, but their partner doesn't know that and their default way of showing love is talking about it, it's not going to work out very well unless they understand that's a thing and communicate about it.

Like most systems like this (learning styles, infp or whatever, your job likely has a few they love) they're most useful for providing language to communicate concepts, and they get less and less useful the more strictly you try to view them.

There's utility in pointing out that different people express love in different ways, but saying "now tag yourself on this complete list of all the ways" isn't so great.

It's just taking extremely basic communication concepts I'd imagine any couples councilor would tell you in the first two minutes of your first visit and expanding them into this bogus system so nitwits can point and say "My love language is the pink pony with a heart on its butt whereas yours has an orange bandana and nunchuks". The real crime here is the unrealized merchandising potential.

The love language thing is basically providing a nice answer to people asking WHY DOESNT MY PARTNER LOVE MEEEEEEE. "He does love you, Sharon. He took the rubbish out last Tuesday, and he changed the plug on the tv yesterday. Acts of service!"

A standard claw hammer makes a pretty great weeding tool. You can use it like a miniature mattock: swing it at the dirt to dig under a weed, loosening everything up so you can pull the weed out. Sure, sometimes you'll cut the root instead, but at least from my short test, it works great and is way easier than a trowel.

My phone mostly just shows me pictures of my exes and friends that have passed away. I don't know what algorithm it uses to pull photos but it's usually just a bummer.

If the weed's the type you can just yank out by the stems, then of course just do that! But you always want to get the roots if at all possible, otherwise the weed will be back in very short order.

Perfect for weeding large areas, you basically cut the soil under the roots and they pull up easily. I've used one for decades and think they're perfect. https://www.niwaki.com/hori-hori/#P00442-7

Dedicated weeding tools exist too but since I don't have a vegetable garden anymore, my strategy these days is to ignore weeds. Also yeah hori hori is a kick rear end tool, especially if you're dealing with things with really tough roots.

I'm sure those tools work great, but I don't have them. I have a trowel (somewhere, in my moving boxes) and a claw hammer, and I wanted to do some weeding yesterday, and hey, the claw hammer works just fine!

Not at all sturdy, the pokey bit is part of the hinge that makes the pinchy bits do the pinching.
