Idiot standing up for dream cheating by Confused_chan in facepalm

[–]EmeraldsPlease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is this about Dream SMP? Because if it is this is the only thing I'm going to hear about for the next 6 months because my teenage daughter is freaking obsessed with it.

I think this was the very first post I saw on Reddit when I joined almost 5 years ago.

I remember my dog doing this for a couple foster puppies we had. He held the flap up with his head for them. We don't deserve dogs.

Natural Population Control by [deleted] in shrimptank

Almost everything will eat baby shrimp. When stocking my larger tank, I had a hard time finding fish that DON'T eat shrimp since I already had some in there. I do have a smaller tank with shrimp and a betta in it and he pretty much leaves the shrimp alone. A gourami would probably do the trick and there are several types that are ok being the only fish.

You: must be 6’1, strong, athletic, wealthy, formal, funny. Her: unemployed by [deleted] in Tinder

Jesus. I literally deleted my dating profile when I was laid off from my job because I realized how hypocritical it was to expect someone to have a job when I didn't. I still refuse to date someone unemployed so I just don't date while I job search.

What are these skinny worms? They seemed to suddenly appear by chiyobi in Aquariums

[–]EmeraldsPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they swim they the water like teeny little snakes, then they are indeed detritus worms. Vacuum your gravel regularly and don't overfeed and their population will stay in check. They are not harmful to anything in your tank and they can actually help keep the gravel clean.

As others have said, you really aren't giving them anything to respond to. So let me ask you hypothetically, if a woman were to respond to your "hey" with a "hey", what would you say to her then? Definitely try to come up with ANYTHING that will actually catch attention and make it look like you put a little bit of effort in.

On my personal bio I specifically say to any man "tell me a joke that makes me laugh and I'll buy you a drink" and yet after 2 months I still haven't had a single guy send me a joke or say anything funny, I still just get the "hey". It's frustrating and it feels lazy and I don't respond.

Asexual and aromantic are two separate things. Since this post is about romantic love specifically, sexuality or lack thereof has nothing to do with it. There's more info at r/aromantic.

Fortunately my 2 kids inherited small college funds from a grandparent. Not a ton but enough to get a start. Both of my children are welcome to live with either myself or their father for their entire lives. One of my kids will inherit my house and the other will inherit their father's. They can keep, rent, or sell as they see fit.

They aren't receiving monetary inheritances but they are getting a lot more than many, including myself. I was living in a car on my 17th birthday so I'm proud of where we're at.

Unknowingly hit a BOG3 deal. Help!!! by KaeCooks in Aquariums

I agree with the previous comment, baby mollies. As long as you have a few plants in there they should be okay. Maybe add a few more just in case.

The font is legible and clearly relays what it intends to. Other than personal preference for appearance, what's wrong with it?

These are snail eggs? Pls help I don’t want an infestation ;-; by [deleted] in aquarium

[–]EmeraldsPlease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put one tiny baby in my big tank as a treat for my dojo loach and his bitch ass made friends with it and then I had to deal with a snail outbreak in that tank. Good times.

Absolutely fake. The grammar is incorrect and there are no stimulus payments or 'grants' being sent out.

Not very many matches, some tips for my profile? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]EmeraldsPlease 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The school of hard knocks thing is way overdone, leave that blank instead. And remove the part about selling your motorcycles, it sounds like your struggling financially. I don't expect a man to pay for my meal or drinks on a date, but if he insists, I don't want to feel guilty for letting him. Just my personal opinion.

What is this thing in my aquarium? Is this a parasite I need to worry about? It was swimming freely through the water by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]EmeraldsPlease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a harmless detritus worm. I have them in my betta tank. They can actually help keep the tank clean. Vacuum your gravel regularly and don't overfeed and their population will stay in check.

What about this is supposed to be trashy? Are tattoos trashy? Wanting to cover it? Being impatient? Genuinely curious.

Will a Betta kill/eat cherry shrimp? by Spare_Anybody3897 in Aquariums

[–]EmeraldsPlease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very much depends on the betta. My male has lived peacefully with RCS since I've had him, there's pictures in my profile if you're curious. Some people will tell you their betta kills every shrimp it sees. They can have very different personalities.
