@KitRedgrave admittedly, some plants are kept in pots because it's more about protecting one plant from the others
mint in a pot is fine
mint just planted in your garden means you're going to live in mint hell for probably the next decade. mint cuttings on the lawn in the dead of night is a good way to start major beef with the neighbor you hate the most, etc.
similarly, pots are useful for a lot of accessibility reasons - a container garden is more manageable in many respects.

thank you, god, for having the wisdom to not put me in the vicinity of this thing where i would be tempted to acquire a lighter and a can of hairspray and do some practical experimentation on flammability of certain objects, amen
@lynnesbian ganbatte and good luck!!!
i'd offer advice but i really only have advice for the hellscape that is disability in america, which - thank god - you have absolutely no need of
@boxo@anarchism.space 🤔 in that case i'm betting the teacher, if they're canny, is being intentionally ambiguous
get good student brownie points by talking about both senses of object of law - the purpose of the law, and the people directly affected by it. top it off with a nice little half-twist of "one cannot truly separate the intent of the action and the effect of the action" to look extra smartypants.
@noelle @OchotonidKnight (also worth reading Chuck Amuck for tales of things like the guy who ran a sandwich shop complete with making his animation desk into a makeshift grill and delivering lunches via baskets lowered out the window, because it turns out the wackiness level of people drawing Bugs Bunny cartoons is, in fact, just as high as you could imagine)
@noelle @OchotonidKnight one thing that really helped me beat this attitude out of my head was reading other artists go through the same shit.
chuck jones's autobiography was what really hit home for me. he has a very simple philosophy that i've heard espoused by other artists in more elegant metaphors, but his resonated the most: every artist has, let's say, a thousand bad drawings in them. the sooner you do your thousand, the sooner you get to the good shit.
@boxo@anarchism.space you are going to hate this answer but: yes. it could mean either the purpose or the subject, depending on context
of course, legalese is... kind of its own distinct dialect with different rules. so if you are looking at the law itself, it gets even more complicated because you have to then look at what that meaning is in that specific context, which is basically what lawyers do.
what's the larger context? i can probably suss out things a bit more with that (but i am not a lawyer, etc.)
you'd think with the noble viera warrior Really'big Carbuncle i'd have hit my max limit on stupid joke alts that happen to be viera, but no
i do now have a picture i need to draw or get commissioned of my stupid au vader submitting to princess leia's requirement before joining the rebel alliance: photographed holding a sign that says I BLEW UP ALDERAAN #VADERSHAMING
"i did *not* blow up alderaan, i was merely *present* while tarkin-" "he's dead but you're not though so stuff it and hold still so i can take this picture" " *SIGH.* "
Star Wars, Vader shaming
@cute@deadinsi.de ...of course then there's the popular fan theory of that's why darth vader's suit seems such a step back in terms of technology next to luke's hand, etc., as it is an intentional muzzle, so part of the torture palpatine inflicts includes making sure only the shittiest prosthetics are used as a very deliberate limitation device
ah shit i've made it sad again
Star Wars, Vader shaming
@cute@deadinsi.de to be fair you can get real sad real fast thinking about how a lot of this probably should have been, y'know, a parade of red flags about him acting out due to trauma, which the jedi reaction to was "hmmm, feelings? just don't :)"
however "vader shaming" is just a really great cw
also y'know who's a double idiot on this train of thought? fuckin palpatine all "oh yeah, nothing can go wrong with traumatizing THIS guy as a form of recruitment"
