It is but it’s also a hat

Have you heard of the Three Hares? Seems memes are as old as drawing.

This may be a shared footnote for many memes in the future:

Its origins and original significance are uncertain, as are the reasons why it appears in such diverse locations.

furry friend on the bed too. Need some gentle company

What about Big Bamboo?

Just jam the money anywhere it will fit. That’s how it works.

The funniest fucking thing is that no matter how much of a dictator he acts, Lukashenko never makes top 5. It must kill him.

The prices are right there dude. 2.11 9/10 for regular, 2.21 for super, and 2.31 for premium.

The Budweiser being 8.99 for a 12 pack also means this is rather recent (as noted by the clothing that person is wearing) and those prices are just for show so they can be anything they want. They could have had 0.21 but opted to have 3 main digits.

Same! Digging into this wiki says (with source):

Typically, once it reaches 25 years old, its thick bark can be harvested for cork every 9 to 12 years without causing harm to the tree.[4]

The source is a Rainforest Alliance article from 2024: https://www.rainforest-alliance.org/species/cork-oak/

Cork oak is unique in its ability to regenerate its outer bark. After a tree reaches 25 years of age, it can be stripped of its cork once every 9 to 12 years without causing damage to the tree. A single cork oak, which lives up to 200 years, can be harvested over 16 times.

Cool thing I learned: harvested cork oak stores 5x as much carbon as unharvested. Get that cork!

But why an ogre?

Yes, it’s worth your time and suits what you’re trying to do. Reading the short story from that link, it has a pulp noir mood. Art styles that might interest you are explored in Bill Watterson’s Tracer Bullet persona from Calvin and Hobbes and the much longer graphic novel AKA Goldfish by Brian Michael Bendis.

Black and white comics would do very well with a high contrast chiaroscuro style to build the mood.

They think free means “costs no money” when we want free to be “has no cost”.

Storage is often the problem. Having the right containers, space in a fridge/cabinet/counter for the food and containers (when not in use) is a problem that needs solving. These are also an added cost that are not necessarily in budget.

You’re right that the math works out that the savings are worth the hassle. Many folks are not ready for that level of persistent multi step hassle. They are hungry and want food now.

Gotta maintain our space against the insistent capital machine somehow.

Use imminent domain to repossess wealth

Self Harm Smurf was right in a wrong way and learned there was more to life than dancing along the edge.

Was the recommendation the broad “research this thing” or “you must adopt this”? Because it sounds like the therapist is having you look at your lifestyle to see if there are beneficial habits that can be built into your routine.

It feels like there are some details missing from the session: did the therapist cover the low demand lifestyle or put the research and details on you? Were you previously talking about anxiety or frustration throughout your day? I don’t want the details or answers but to highlight that your post was scant and set us up to disagree with the therapist. Therapists usually have a valid outside perspective and yours seems to think you will find success in how you manage and perform your habits.
