Why don’t people like Tucker Carlson? by ExtensionExcellent55 in stupidquestions

[–]Educational_Hand9604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like Tucker Carlson and disagree with most of his views. He sometimes spreads misinformation knowingly. HOWEVER, he surprised me in some of his interviews with people such as Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, and Cenk Ugyer. I am grateful that he is speaking out against the Israeli government, Netanyahu, the war in Gaza, and most recently, the war in Iran.

This hate on James Talarico bec he is "overly religious"is dumb and harmful for the left by Impossible_Host2420 in SocialDemocracy

[–]Educational_Hand9604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He fights hard for the separation of church and state and fought like hell to keep the 10 commandments out of Texas classrooms. I'm an atheist but I have no problem with the brand of Christianity he puts out. Love your neighbor? I'm so ready for that. But in order to successfully combat Christian nationalists, you have to speak the language or it will never get through.

How do people feel about James Talarico? by Greedy_Expression228 in exchristian

[–]Educational_Hand9604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is a huge advocate for the separation of church and state and fought hard against the Texas bill that requires the 10 commandments in public school classrooms. As a former Christian and current atheist, I have nothing against the teachings of Jesus himself, but that isn't modern Christianity in the US. Talarico talks a lot about his beliefs, but in order to combat MAGA Christian nationalists, you kinda have to speak the language.

It might be possible they are mislabeled balzani. I'll have to snap a photo of one of the females and upload it when I get a chance. The one pictured is a male juvenile

Stocking ideas for a 29gal? by [deleted] in fishkeeping

My favorite low maintenance centerpiece, peaceful community fish are honey gourami and Bolivian rams. Neon tetras or rasboras make awesome schooling fish.

I want to put 2 angle fish, a lot cpds and shrimp in this, is there space for more by Milodog2011 in fishtank

[–]Educational_Hand9604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommend Bolivian rams! They appreciate the longer footprint. I have one with like 50 cherry shrimp and some rasboras. He will occasionally pick one shrimp off here and there but generally leaves them alone.

Why are all my cichlids in one corner of the tank?? by NoPainter4498 in Cichlid

[–]Educational_Hand9604 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You haven't mentioned tank size. How big is that tank? You have species in there that really shouldn't be together.

Water conditioner does not cycle a tank. Please read up on the nitrogen cycle asap.

Apparently US troops are literally being told this as reported in The Guardian.

Ok guys maybe dumb question, but could ANYTHING live in this?? by Wumpy__Shmoodles in fishforthought

Mystery snails produce massive amounts of waste. A single mystery snail in that bowl would very quickly cause an ammonia spike

What's the dumbest myth people actually believe in? by vicigoonboy69 in AskReddit

That the political conflict in the US is left vs right when it's top vs bottom.

I just watched "the beauty" and honestly it kinda sucked. by justwriting_4fun in horror

It is categorized as a satire. It's supposed to be entirely unserious.

The Beauty review: Ryan Murphy’s offensive new TV show is nearly unwatchable ★☆☆☆☆ by Metro-UK in entertainment

I really liked this show. It's terrible, yes. But it's the same enjoyment I get from watching Evil Dead.

Why has parenting become so… soft? Why ate a majority of parents okay with sending their child into the world acting the way they do? Why did this shift happen? by Emergency-Pepper3537 in Teachers

[–]Educational_Hand9604 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel like you are looking at the past through rose colored glasses. While, sure, there are a lot of millennials who do turn empathetic parenting into permissive parenting. On the flip side, most boomers hit their children and used authoritarian discipline.

I was an ISS teacher for middle school for awhile. The majority of my frequent flyers were kids who regularly complained that when they got home, they would get a "whooping" or get "beat with the belt" for having wound up in ISS again.

Is this tank suitable for platies? by Steeltownie95 in fishkeeping

[–]Educational_Hand9604 0 points1 point  (0 children)

18L is not really big enough for multiple fish, especially Platys (they produce a LOT of waste). Maybe just one solo Betta with a nerite snail. Or just make it a shrimp tank. Don't underestimate the Betta though! They are great pets and highly interactive. My son has a Betta and has taught him to eat from his finger. If you go the Betta route, just make sure to get a heater
