  Trees absorb MOST of their water through the soil, but are absolutely capable of absorbing water directly into their leaves. Google “Foliar uptake”

  So, trees with more steps?

  I really think it’s a cultural thing. It would be like me(an American) saying “how can I be more Japanese?”

  To put a finer point on it, Americans have grown up in a culture where self expression and social interaction is encouraged. So we are less afraid of approaching a stranger for casual conversation. Add to that the fact that we, culturally, have very low self awareness. All we know is what offends other Americans. We rarely have the social intelligence to modify our behavior to match our surroundings.

  So while, yes, Germans may be more reserved by nature; don’t think that is a value judgement. If you want to be more outgoing do it in a German way. Americans are the way we are because we are Americans.

  That said, if I could offer a suggestion to mitigate your social anxiety; I would suggest that other people don’t think about you and your behavior anywhere near as much as you think they do. Most people don’t give a shit. If you can’t think of anything to say but you want to start a conversation a compliment is always a winning strategy. But nothing is a substitute for genuine curiosity.

  Of the many suggestions in the comments here, the biggest contributor is weight. Lose weight and snoring disappears. Simple as that.

  The next logical step is to use chat gpt to retroactively add product placement to existing novels. The enshittification will follow you.

  I haven’t played it yet but I anticipate I will live it when I get around to playing it. To those who have played it, do you suggest any mods for the first playthrough?

  “pure water” is not what you think it is. It really doesn’t exist outside of laboratory conditions.

  One day ads will be unskippable, unless you get a 22 hr AdPass by watching 60 minutes of uninterrupted ads while eyeball tracking software monitors your attention. You will get mini games where you need to sing along or high five a friend. You can get an instant AdPass by purchasing the featured product.

  I love how it starts with Jason saying “Just fixing a few leaks”. I see what you did there.
