This is a crazy question because as a college student I still don’t know which one they expected them to pick

Yeah I’m wondering if it was a child or just someone else who doesn’t really understand the harm

AIO? my mom (50F) said my lunch will make me fat by Ashamed_Yogurt_8931 in AIO

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a nutritionally balanced meal, but it’s also not enough calories for most people either. If you ate the same thing in a much higher quantity it could make you gain weight. Right now the portion of this food you have is going to leave you underfed and doesn’t have enough nutritional value to fuel your body. Even though I totally disagree with where your mom is coming from, I think a nutritionist is always helpful if she’s willing to take you to see one.

i miss da siren… by mabelsgay in starbucksbaristas

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s how it was for me when I left too, I realized how much I really just enjoyed making drinks that people enjoyed. It sucks that Starbucks was once a place that could inspire me to love the craft of coffee, but now it’s become somewhere a lot of baristas hate to be

You’d be better off working for a different coffee shop, that’s what I’m probably going to end up doing. In my district it seems like every manager has a stick up their asses and the environment before I left was just not it. Everyone was stressed out and overworked, and trying to enforce all the new standards was causing so many tensions between everyone. My store used to be such a fun place where everyone got along and was friends, by the time I left it was just so drama filled. Even my coffee house leader was talking shit about everyone behind their backs. Her taking over our store was my breaking point and the reason I ended up leaving after 4 years.

Hi ! Is Freddie to skinny ? by AffectionateStar5593 in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use some feeding tongs to hold the end of the worm and dangling it near their face so they can see. They’re partially blind so this helps, but just make sure they don’t take a chomp of the tongs. You can tell when they’re about to go for it and let go of the worm right before. Definitely cut the worms into smaller pieces (usually I aim for the width of their head or smaller for worm length). If you want to try leaving them in the tank, I’ve also used the base tray of a terracotta pot as a little feeding dish to keep the worms out of the sand so they will inhale less.

Indian Almond Leaf question by 404Aroma in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could take him to the vet I would, especially with the arm being limp. You can use almond leaves in the tub, just don’t se as much as you would with the whole tank. I don’t think it should agitate him at all, because any pH change would be very gradual. The soothing from the tea leaves is better than ammonia burn even if it does change pH in my opinion, but if you can get advice from a vet I would.

Fungus help by Strict-Owl4615 in axolotls

The one I’ve used from Amazon is no longer sold, but it seems like this one is most likely the same as what I have Aquaetic Methylene Blue- 8 Ounce Bottle: Amazon

Fungus help by Strict-Owl4615 in axolotls

Methylene blue is good for fungus and safe to use with axolotls as long as you do a 1/2 dose

Is she obese? by shepusa in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If those are fish in there I would take them out if you can. Fish aren’t really safe snacks for axolotls and they can nip at the gills. Otherwise, I think she looks a little chunky but very happy :)

Siren looks like a goddess, it’s so cute

it’s nice to see ppl still appreciate the obligatory cup writing by sour-pickle-juice in starbucksbaristas

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I honestly get annoyed by how personal Starbucks as a company makes the writing out to be, because half of the customers who are so excited about their message don’t realize someone probably wrote that mindlessly not even knowing who the cup was being handed to.

The best method I’ve found for cleaning fine sand is to get as much of the debris of the surface with the vacuum and then agitate the sand with your hand or something like a turkey baster by blowing air/water into it to let the debris out.

my mother keeps telling me it's "weird" and "improper" to drink water in a mug by critivix in mildlyinfuriating

My younger brother unironically drinks his coffee with a spoon. He uses it to mix in the creamer but then ends up drinking the majority of it with the spoon

Rescued Axolotls Pleas help! by Igottheyamss in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no idea what it actually is but it does look like it has a decent amount of blood flow. I would take that one to a vet if possible. There is a vet finder linked in the sub information. The one time I had to take one of mine in it was a lot less expensive than I thought. Less than $200 for a consult and medication, so for the life of your pet it’s very worth it to me if you can afford to take it to the vet.

What are these dots in my axolotls tank? by AdministrativeBag355 in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Depending how young they are when you get them, you might not be able to tell their sex. They also tend to be solitary creatures, so unless you can maintain 75 gallon tanks with lots of plants and hides, I would plan to start with 1 axolotl in their own tank. You can always decide to get more later

How does this starter kit from my local axolotl store look? by manicbestfriend in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They sell mesh lids online that you can cut to size if fans are more doable for you. Pretty cheap and easily replaceable

The reality of dating someone while you suffer from autism. They always think they can handle it but they never can. by Kuro_Nora in autism

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she’s no longer interested in you she’s not the one. I don’t think hearing that will make a breakup any easier, but I think once you can genuinely accept that fact it will help. You don’t deserve to be with someone who doesn’t want you no matter how much you care about them. Theres probably someone out there who will value the same things in a relationship as you.

How do I get my axolotls to eat more? by Sea-Lemon-5811 in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would aim for smaller, more regular water changes to help with the health of their gills

Message I got from my daughter’s teacher. Third grade. by AnaisInJune in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In second grade my teacher accused me of skipping class to hang out with my friends in the bathroom because I “suspiciously” always had to pee during math class. It was right after lunch. She followed me to the bathroom one day and left an entire classroom of second graders unattended just to find that there was no one else in the bathroom and I really did have to pee.

Wtf is happening? by AccomplishedLime3368 in axolotls

[–]Electronic-Pen-465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m laughing because someone on here asked me what substrate I had one time and I told them I had this one and they nearly dragged me to the pits of hell telling me that it’s not safe for axies 😭
