I was agreeing with you that it's silly to correct someone calling it a tree outside of specific contexts, just like arguing a tomato isn't a vegetable.

For what it's worth, I have had to learn the growth habits of plants in ecology classes for a degree that I am currently earning. I have plant identification books that use those terms, because they do have a technical use.

It's considered an herb because the vegetation dies back after fruiting, instead of remaining persistent. If you really want to get technical it's a forb, which is an herb that isn't grass-like. But yeah, it's literally just a description of its growth habit. I don't think I've ever heard someone casually calling a Wisteria a "liana" , for example, because it's not really a helpful term outside of certain botanical contexts

My view is that there are shades of gray between kissing family and kissing with the intent to have sex. To me there is distinction between a kiss shared during a date and one that is shared as you're stumbling towards a bed with a partner. One is an "I love you" kiss (romantic) and the other is "let's fuck now" (sexual).

I'm ace. Kissing and some cuddling makes me very uncomfortable, because it often leads to sex. There have been times that I thought I was sharing a sweet kiss with someone and suddenly they're trying to slide hands under my clothes. So in my mind that was a romantic kiss, but to the other person it was sexual. This is why it's so important for people like me to fully discuss things before we start dating someone.

There are different types of ace, you'll see some aces say they are sex-favorable. That means they don't feel sexually attracted to anyone, but they will engage in sex. On the opposite side of the spectrum is sex-repulsed. That's me, I feel absolutely disgusted by sex.

Neat! I tried to identify a few mosses in a flora class, but my professor said it would be too difficult. By the end of the semester none of the Bryophytes I brought in were identified

Avg US speed is kind of silly to compare to isn't it? I mean, in most of my state satellite is still the most reliable and that's 100mb/s at most

It's possible to train your dog to stay when you drop the leash. It's not something I've done explicitly yet, but I'm working up to it since I've lost feeling in my hands (probably like those old ladies).

But also, what do those old ladies expect to do with their dogs when the dogs are too old or sick to walk on their own? I got my dog shortly before my worst symptoms manifested and still tried to plan for what I will be able to lift when those come to pass. And thank fuck I did, because she tore her ccl last winter and if I couldn't lift her into my car idk if she'd even have healed properly

Is the plant above it Selaginella?
