But if everyone stopped watching, would we just end up with different shared references? Derek's point about forming your own opinions only works if you still have some common ground to talk about. Otherwise you're just people in a room with nothing to say.

Man my pilea turned into a sad, droopy meme last month because I got lazy with the water schedule. Felt like a legit bad plant parent and my whole week felt weirdly off balance. It's wild how a few droopy leaves can make you feel like you're failing at basic life stuff. Totally get that mirror thing, my mood definitely wilts with the ferns.

Oh great, more landfill decor.

Paid his car note directly once, same idea.

Put a bucket in the shower like Logan said, it seriously works so well. I use the leftover water for my houseplants and a small patch of herbs on the balcony. It makes you see water totally differently, like it's a resource you can actually move around. I even got one of those sink aerators and it feels like a game to see how low I can get the meter reading. You start noticing every single drip and feel weirdly pumped when you fix it.
