    Onions farm? Each year same plant? That’s not good for soil.

      A common practice used to be rotating the fields, but unfortunately as pesticides and fertilizers have “improved,” it’s less common for big farms like this.

      One way to tell if you have healthy soil is to poke into the dirt and see how long it takes to find a worm. Fields like this? Good luck finding any.

    And then an asian women in an orange jumpsuit with strange boots casually walks onto the scene.

    She’s quite exhausted as well, doesn’t talk much and is dragging some weird cube.

    She sits down next to him and stares toward the dàylight moon, hoping he’ll wake up soon.

    Hoping he won’t want her gone.

        Also I can see two dms from you, but in my dms section, swiping to reply (as works on Thunder to reply in any other part of the UI) does not work.

        Going to your profile page yields no buttons to reply.

        Maybe I have to do some kind of … adding of lemmy.world, somewhere in the UI, as I’m from .zip, and dms follow some kind of different protocol than commenting on posts?

        ???

        Or maybe I’ll try Odyssey and its less borked?

        Edit: Sync, not Odyssey, getting my FOSS apps mixed up.

          Maybe you could try to restart your client. On Sync go to your inbox, click on the triangle pointing down, and a menu will open, you can switch categories there, as it doesn’t show DMs by default.

    This man has everything a man needs. Well, except a robotic combine harvester obviously.

    Just chilling outside is an underrated activity.

    Over the past several years I put a privacy fence around the back yard and built a nice koi pond to sit next to. Sitting there, because of course I have a sittin’ chair now like an old man, is both relaxing on its own and is a great time to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of modern life (even Lemmy!). I often leave my phone in the house, but even when I have it with me it’s become easier to ignore.

    For those of us lucky to have the big three mental health issues, it’s a nice self-care treatment for anxiety and depression, and an opportunity to practice controlling my attention. But it’s in addition to my medications, not a replacement for them.

    But obviously it’s not the solution for everybody, and not even possible for everybody either. But just getting outside to some natural sights and sounds is what really matters. I’m sure it’s even better if exercise is involved (hiking, etc) but I have legit issues with both heat and sun so I keep my oasis close to my air conditioned home.

      “I was layin’ out there for two damn hours before anyone came to check on me! Heat stroke, it turns out. Just as well it wasn’t a stroke stroke, I’d be dead.”

    This is because farming is fucking exhausting and he just couldn’t make it back to the house.
