    This feels like a distraction, but boy do we need it. The core issue would be where do you plant these trees.

    Most of the forests of America where demolished and now home millions and millions of Americans, not to mention there are currently 3 trillion trees on the planet. You would likely need the geographic space that equates to north America to plant that many trees. Not to mention needing them in the Northern Hemisphere to handle the excess CO2.

    Feels like you need to increase tree planting, but also increase conservation of current undeveloped land mass AND decrease emissions.

    I am a big fan of Wattles for both news, builds, and some survival play. Dude has good vibes and great update videos.

    I also stream and watch a lot of Mysticat, a great vtuber for Minecraft. Very creative and just seems like a good person.

    I also still go watch old Technoblade videos and stream VODs as he just has so much good content that's worth a rewatch.

    I recently had a conversation with my mother about not being a Christian. I know it broke her heart, but it was making it difficult to move forward with my girlfriend and proposing.

    I didn’t want my mother and my grandparents to fear for me to burn in hell, so I lied for 15 years.

    Now I have to figure out how to have a wedding with my girlfriend that isn’t in a church/non-Christian wedding.

    My Hero Academia is awesome. It has some similar elements, IMO, yo Hunter X Hunter, which is a good thing. I highly recommend it. It has awesome personalities and is very funny to boot!

    I am pretty jealous actually. I picked up one of those origami calendars last year and I was really good about doing one everyday up until about November due to frustration with the more complex folds.

    Did you read any books or use anything for practice getting started? I want to pick it back up because it really is such a zen/meditative activity and you get a little work of art out of it. :)
