Probably check out all of the resources from Ryan Holiday at the Daily Stoic, his career is explaining the book (as a drastic oversimplification) and talks a lot specifically about the manosphere and it’s misuse of stoicism as well. Meditations is also originally written as a diary or journal and not really as a story so keeping that in mind while going through it as well.

That’s absolutely the original usage but that also died down as military vernacular (and analog clocks) became less and less prominent in the public.

These days I usually see the “newer” usage, maybe because digital clocks are not only easier to read but also they are also far less useful as a navigation and positioning aid. Who knows?

Recognized, as in it was easy enough to tell she was autistic it was like looking at a clock to tell the time.

Some of the dwarf varieties available from Mr. maple are wild (not just maples) so it could be a good option for trees, especially if you just put one in a very nice pot instead of planting it directly anyways. You can actually get trailing nasturtium to climb rather well so that could be a good option too.

There’s also some dwarf trumpet vines I’ve seen that should stay compact enough as well, but make sure you don’t plant the full size ones unless you enjoy constant pruning. I cut my (wild? It’s outlived the memory of anyone near this house at least) trumpet vine to the ground every year and they still start climbing the roof by the end of the year.

It’s probably not that terrible honestly, I just have asbestos shingles on my house so it gives me anxiety watching the vines yearning for them.

I don’t know if it’s relevant to you but you can buy vita to micro SD adapters now and I did purely out of spite

Honestly, I was always heavy as a kid and got a lot of shit for it. I was over 300lbs when I finished high school and made it to 400 not long after. My parents were cooking for me and they used to make me an entire box of pasta for dinner and making sure I ate all of it since I was a growing boy. A lot of meals they made for me were over 2,000 calories by themselves, and I didn’t really now any better.

I’m currently at about 180lbs or so. This is after I went the other way and got so tired with being fat that four years ago I had put myself on such a restrictive diet I weighed 135lbs and started experiencing side effects from malnutrition.

So now I deal with a whole bunch of trauma like not being able to eat in public without anxiety attacks, I have 12ish pounds of loose skin that I’ll need almost six feet of incisions to remove if I can ever afford to get that done.

I absolutely view it as child abuse and I honestly wonder if my life would be better if my parents would have taken a nutrition class or if my doctors as a kid gave them shit instead of me. Surely the 12 year old is cooking and buying all this unhealthy food right?
