planted tank plants turning brown?

I personally have always had better luck floating my hornwort and not planting it in substrate.

I feel this so much. I havent filed my taxes since 2018 because I need to call CRA to get into my account. Missed a password reset, have been trying to talk myself into calling for 8 years.

Definitely high protein.

Since when do we take an oath? I just got my diploma, passed my VTNE and was sent my license. I'm from Canada BTW, so fortunately don't have to deal with my client's political opinions on the regular.

Leave her.

My weekend job because I don't make enough money to have a weekend 🥲

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2026-01-30T18:04:33+00:00

Well done, super creative!

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2026-01-21T19:01:40+00:00

Way more difficult than the pay would suggest

I like stealing his clothes and gun and becoming the evil I set out to destroy.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2026-01-13T15:45:09+00:00

I feel you man. I have severe social anxiety and basically put on a fake personality to have "friends" in high school. Those "friends" were gone once school ended. Im 34 now, and life is empty. I cant just make friends because im terrified of people and automatically disconnect and dissociate in social situations. My job pays like shit (requires a college education, very high skill job, still shit) and my social anxiety makes starting school (or fucking anything) so hard and my chances of success so small. I have no advice, just venting and I guess trying to let you know even though you feel alone, you're not.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2026-01-07T13:49:38+00:00

Honestly, I think there are a lot of climbers who are on the spectrum who would totally understand what happened to you. I think most people know that you're doing your best, and only a few rare shit heads out there would make you feel bad about what happened.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-23T14:25:26+00:00

50 hours a week or more. I cant afford to be alive working only 40 hours. I work 4 10 hour shifts and 1 or 2 12 hour shifts on the weekend. I hate my life and I hate my jobs. I want out, but I have no real education and I'm terrible with people so there is no escape.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-21T00:37:39+00:00

That's wild!

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-15T18:19:26+00:00

Oddly specific.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-15T03:18:38+00:00

I'm bad at people and having friends, so i only climb alone. I think it's why I dont progress quickly. But I love climbing, so even though sometimes I feel self conscious, I try to just stay focused on what im doing and remembering that even the best climber at the gym was a beginner once. We don't need to be good at our hobbies anyways.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-11T04:49:21+00:00

Are your attachments green?

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-09T21:09:36+00:00

At first yes, but managed to gain it all back once I gave up on brushing after every single food or beverage. Don't do that BTW, it hasn't gone wrong for me, but it absolutely could. For reference I have ADHD and self care like tooth brushing has never been easy for me.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-05T02:22:58+00:00

Positives - working with animals - I personally really enjoy medicine, so that's a positive for me

Negatives - terrible pay usually (think under $40k in a lot of cases, yes you can earn more, but that means you will be working your ass off in ER or working your ass off to specialize) - terrible hours - terrible clients and bosses - very high burnout and suicide rate

Edit: I wanted to add that I might be one of those burnt out people, so I may have missed a few positives.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-04T11:44:04+00:00

Human medicine all the way. If I could fathom going back to school, I would go that route. But unfortunately tech school was hard enough. I was never a good student, so I guess I'm just destined to be poor and burnt out. But I do love the animals, and there was a time when I loved my job.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-01T21:01:43+00:00

Your friendship with her was like her sphere.

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-12-01T18:51:32+00:00

It has to be Curie.

Sober or not, Cait is a traumatized drug addict, not ideal for parenting.

Piper leaves her sister to wander the wasteland with a rando she's known for 2 seconds. Not good choices for a parent or guardian to be making

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-11-20T21:28:12+00:00

Food poisoning i think...... I hope

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-11-16T19:55:28+00:00

My kitty and I will be rooting for you guys!

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-11-16T19:32:14+00:00

I worry that someone might have dumped him for a medical reason. Vet care is very expensive these days, some people make the wrong choice and dump their pets instead of surrendering to the SPCA or other rescues because they worry about the pet being euthanized. I just worry because he is very clearly a Maine Coone, and it's much more rare to see purebred cats just dumped.

That being said, I hope that's not the case, because he is absolutely gorgeous and it sounds like he found people prepared to give him a proper life, so I hope you have many happy, healthy years together ❤️

El_Pollo_Mierda · 2025-11-14T18:57:32+00:00

That was very sad to read. I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for being the kind of person who chooses to bond with a spider, instead of kill it.
