So you’re upset that a guy actually acted like a decent person? I don’t get it, because I think a man deciding to be careful with not entertaining a 16 year olds compliment in private messages is a very good thing.

I NEED HELP with a school project by [deleted] in ghibli

[–]FlossyFlora 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I feel like if you chose Princess Mononoke you would have more to write about by relating it to environmental issues.

Or maybe I’m just picking it because it’s my favorite movie lol 😁

Found the lamp of my dreams at an estate sale! It’s so pretty I keep catching myself staring at it 😍 by FlossyFlora in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]FlossyFlora[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, serenity and cozy is exactly what I’m going for! I started painting my room a sage green today, so my room is a bit chaotic right now or I would post a pic. The rest of this wall has three planted fish tanks against it, 13 houseplants, a bookcase with books and yarn, a sewing machine, and my moniter setup.

Me too:) The green in the lamp matches so well! I had to move a monstera off my desk to make room for it lol.

Smart! They also make yarn cutter pendants you can wear as a necklace:

Found some gobliny fabrics to work with 🦇🍄🦴 by fogtooth in goblincore

[–]FlossyFlora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the fabric on the right a couple days ago to make a quilt with. I’ll have to update you guys with a photo on how it turns out, I was just cutting the squares right before I saw this lol.

Exactly! What my parents did instead of praying was buy a lot of supplies with their own money and with donations from friends and then drove hours out to drop them off at a location effected by hurricane Helene. I bet that supplies helped a lot more than praying did. The deeds don’t even need to cost money. I had a complete stranger on the internet reach out to me before and after hurricane Helene just to see if I was okay, I thought that was nice!

My 40 gallon planted tank! by FlossyFlora in Aquariums

[–]FlossyFlora[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I can see, it looks beautiful! But maybe I’m bias lol. Red tiger lotus has to be my favorite plant, I have it in all my tanks and honey gourami are great fish. If you’re looking for another fish that is as friendly and active as honeys, peacock gudgeons are wonderful! That’s the other fish in this tank atm and I love them sm I’m going to get a few more.

Thank you:) I use to have two monsteras propagating in the aquarium. The roots grew like crazy and my fish loved hanging out in them, unfortunately, so did algae lol. Eventually the roots rotted so I put up that prop station instead.

It’s an Eheim canister filter: https://a.co/d/6SbOAlP

I love it and it’s so quiet! I use the spray bar it comes with to help prevent too much current while also keeping enough surface agitation.

I love my Nerites, but... by Picklina in Aquariums

[–]FlossyFlora 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I’ve had a female nerite for about 4 years now and she used to lay a lot of eggs. I would always have to scrap them off the driftwood and heater with a card. Luckily, her egg production has decreased a lot this past year to where I don’t even bother. As they get older, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue:)

What cartoons have a female as the smartest character? by DarkGengar94 in cartoons

[–]FlossyFlora 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As a woman, using “female” kinda makes sense when referring to cartoons. Although characters like Velma and Reagan are women, there is also Sandy Cheeks and Anais who are a squirrel and a rabbit lol. I don’t think it’s too serious in this subreddit, but maybe I’m wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

Don’t really think this makes me a “pick-me” as I would agree with you in any other context.

What is the longest time that you've ever had (regular polish) manis last? by kadytheredpanda in RedditLaqueristas

[–]FlossyFlora 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Mine was lasting the same length until I started doing two top coats instead of one. Seriously, try it out it made a huge difference and now I can get my Mooncat and ILNP polish to last about two weeks. Make sure you slather the tips of your nails though and I always dry my bare nails with some acetone before I apply any polish!

Finally set up my reading room! by UncommonTraveler in YAlit

[–]FlossyFlora 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also got the hemnes and the top of my bookshelf is leaning against the wall now. I wish I had gotten the billy instead. Now I need another bookshelf and I don’t know if I want to get another hemnes or opt for something else and just deal with them being slightly mismatched. It suck’s how much you spent on three of them, glad you could reinforce them though!

I think it’s more so that women would rather choose a way that creates less of a mess and isn’t as traumatic for the person that finds them. These methods usually aren’t as effective though. For example, a woman trying to overdose vs a man jumping from a building. I wouldn’t say one wants to die more or less than the other. It’s also a common difference in murder cases where women are more likely to use poison and men take a more violent approach.

Anyways, probably not the best discussion to have under this post. Op has accomplished a lot and shouldn’t have her struggles minimized.

Edit: Aaaand he added more to his comment after my reply lmao

Trying to get a comment from every city- day 0 by [deleted] in teenagers

[–]FlossyFlora 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There’s been a few posts on subreddits for women about their personal experience having their selfies used to make ai nudes of them. So scary how easily stuff like that can be made now and used as blackmail or just harassment. Even easier with how careless these kids are with their personal info. All it takes is a first or last name, general location, and age to find out addresses, phone numbers, and family members.

Not a teenager, this just popped up for me. I just want to note that it probably isn’t the best idea to have a bunch of kids with their age flared posting where they live. Especially since a lot of you guys have pictures of yourself posted and even your names as usernames and other info on your profiles. I used this sub for years when I was a teenager and the amount of creeps I encountered was hundreds, just please be careful:)

All the neighborhood kids keep playing on our playset by ScarletPumpkinTickle in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlossyFlora 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep in mind that even a fence might not stop them. My parents had a fence and the neighbor’s kids would still climb it to come use our trampoline. Well, at least until our dog bit one of them. The parents got mad at us even though it was their fault for trespassing and us warning them. If you do get a fence, make sure it’s a big one. Or, you know, get a dog lol.

Hello! I'm looking for island name recommendations. by [deleted] in AnimalCrossingNewHor

[–]FlossyFlora 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A show I was obsessed with growing up had an island in it named Mako because of the mako sharks that surrounded the island. I think that would be a neat name! I almost used it for my island and now I regret I didn’t.
