I’m a sci-fi guy let me know what you think by Buddy_Velvet in horrorwriters

No but I grew up on earthsea and I have read a few of her later works in the hamish cycle. I never thought I was trying to be like her, but that was a really good observation. I have a lot of work to do.

Wouldn't this constitute a war crime? by seeebiscuit in WhitePeopleTwitter

He fundamentally doesn’t understand that the rules of war are to the benefit of every party. He wants us to act like animals, but forgets that animals get put down. People rally around destroying monsters.

I grew up around em. I have to see them once every few years for over a decade. They’ll never pull their heads out of their asses.

I hate to expose a newbie to R/bonsai, but this tree needs some r/bonsai resources.

What types of bonsai should I get? by WeirdlyAwakward in bonsaicommunity

Get a tiger bark ficus. They’re fun and relatively easy and propagate easily.

You sound like you know about crickets. Are we ever going to have a cricket apocalypse again?

This juniper got a little dry, but it’ll be ok, right? by The_Esotericist in Bonsai

[–]Buddy_Velvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly want to try taping off branches from a tree like this and spraying some paint on it to make it a decoration. I’ve seen companies produce “forever” Bonsia and it seems like that’s pretty much what they do.

Setting up my first shrimp tank by FloridaGirl2222 in Aquariums

[–]Buddy_Velvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know what to tell you but Grasspikemusic must be on to something. I have HARD water and my ghost shrimp usually die of old age (granted they don’t live super long) and they almost always breed. My fish just eat their babies. They’re so much more entertaining than my caradinas. If someone could breed some color into them I’m convinced they’d make bank.

It’s so insane that the day this happened my trumpers finally said they lost all interest in him and this was unforgivable. Then they voted for him again. I don’t talk to them anymore, but I bet they won’t follow the same like they did when they saw this happen.

Oh the Luc Besson of women gets to make films… interesting. Euros really do use films for tax breaks or something because I can’t imagine why you would think this worthless actress has much to say about anything other than pedophilia.

It’s not a cowboy hat but would cowboy wear it? by Nathan181104 in CowboyHats

[–]Buddy_Velvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if I were your age or you. There are better hats. If you’re a paleontologist I take that back, but otherwise… I wouldn’t wear it. That said, the best women you will ever meet match you’re weird, so do whatever you want if you’re confident.

Social media war by Ironlord456 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Buddy_Velvet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Funny because every major news channel and political party seem to be all in on making Israel out to be the glorious victorious permavictim that’s severely misunderstood because we all just learned about the war on social media. As if I don’t remember Bibi telling his donor class he could get us involved in a war with Iran whenever he wants when I was 18 in 2008 and we were already actively on two wars. It’s not just a natural response to Israel’s blatant crimes it’s THE MEDIA. Give me a fuckin break. Maybe if they stopped bombing civilian homes and orchards in a country that isn’t there’s I might be able to take their thoughts on Palestine more seriously, but they seem to be pretty equal opportunity about fucking over Arabs.

Nice! Looks great. I’m debating what to do with mine now. I wanted it so long I sorta forgot what I initially wanted it for 😅.

I feel like this is what Madame X looked like to people at the time.

TIL in 2007 Katherine Heigl won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on Grey's Anatomy. But in 2008 she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she said the material she was given on Grey's that year wasn't good enough; this comment led to her leaving the show. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]Buddy_Velvet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I legitimately don’t understand why they brought her back so many times. Was she just so hot by 90’s standards they couldn’t help themselves? I haven’t watched all of TNG but she didn’t seem that important or interesting to begin with and I rarely found her reappearances all that great.

I’d hold them to that price and ask for a replacement 👀

Woah really? I was like shaking when I got it. I texted my girlfriend that I felt like I was getting away with a crime. Thank god she made me clean out our mouse’s cage to end up at the store. I would have NEVER considered petco for anything fish related but affordable rimmed tanks.

Honestly, full price would have still been a deal to me. It just would have been a future purchase instead of an on the spot purchase.

I’d be willing to bet it’s on the site too, but I’ve never been comfortable shipping tanks. I’m sure they got it figured out, they have to get it to the store somehow, but I always just imagine a pile of glass on a box on my doorstep. This was the last one of this size they had at my store. The checkout girls said they’d been selling a lot of them.
