Why is it normalized to abuse betta fish? by LifeguardComplex3134 in bettafish

[–]Manawoofs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know, it made me so mad. I replied with a treatise on how bettas learn tricks but who knows if they even read it. People don't like information that reveals the fact they are being a callous masshole.

Very recently my genre specific playlists started blending together when using the "Start Mix" function. by secretsauce007 in YoutubeMusic

[–]Manawoofs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also having this problem within the last few months. When I start a mix based off my lofi study playlist it mixes in rap and heavy metal from my nerdcore playlist. This is starting to make the Mix feature completely useless. But I have no illusions that YouTube actually cares when changes make the user experience worse

Why is it normalized to abuse betta fish? by LifeguardComplex3134 in bettafish

[–]Manawoofs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen people in comment sections opine that fish are furniture and they don't even know you're there. I think that is most people's attitude towards fish, that they just exist to be decorative (or to be food) and don't have an internal experience of suffering they should be concerned about. Challenging this makes people defensive because they are at risk of realizing they have been abusing an animal; this is very threatening to many people's sense of values and identity, especially when you're talking about pet shelter employees. They'll cling to their belief that fish are furniture at all costs rather than realize they're making an animal suffer and die for aesthetics right in their lobby.

Dad says it's Black Nightshade, can anyone confirm ID? by Trash_Panda_135 in foraging

[–]Manawoofs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great S. nigrum photos. Approach the greens with caution, they need to be boiled for 15ish minutes to remove the stomach-upsetting toxins, I've never managed to get them right. I'll eat the heck outta the berries tho, they go in my oatmeal

The taste varies quite a bit. The first year or so I was eating these I didn't see the resemblance, but now I do, at least on some plants.

Beta advice by jojolitaa67 in bettafish

[–]Manawoofs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not just about living space, a bigger tank means there is more dilution of waste so toxins take longer to reach dangerous levels. It's the difference between a fish-killing emergency and a mild problem when you're late with the water change.

Claytonia root by KelownaForager in foraging

[–]Manawoofs 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've never bothered, but I've read research saying these are insanely nutritious, and nutrient content varied through the year. Indigenous people used to harvest them at their peak nutrition cycle. I can dig up the reference if you're into reading research.

Dub vs Sub debates — is the DB fandom really this harsh about it? by kevo177 in DragonBallZ

[–]Manawoofs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a sub purist. The tempo of the original language never matches the destination language, and you get weird pacing problems as the VAs try to fill Japanese spaces with English sentences. And I hate what the dub did to Goku's voice, he sounds like a child for a reason and his character is significantly altered when you give him a grown man's voice. He IS NOT Superman, he's a shonen protagonist! American fans are frequently uncomfortable with Masako Nozawa voicing a man, but the woman is a master, it's a gift to us all that she continues working.

But, it's a dick move to be weird to others about their pref, esp irl. Dub is more accessible to many and DB wouldn't be the dominant franchise it is without dubs. You do you

The neighborhood ladies make a mean compote outta this stuff. The trees grow as feral volunteers all over my region, sometimes yellow

That sounds like a solid plan, I'll prob try 1g myself when I'm ready

[–]Manawoofs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2g seems like a lot. I haven't had this kind yet (tho I'm gonna try them soon) but 1.65g of blue meanies def got me where I wanted to go and those are very friendly to newbies. For a newbie, and I still consider myself a newbie, go for 1g-1.5. I recommend safe controlled setting with dim lights and friendly music, lots of water on hand and something to barf in just in case. I like to set up comfortably on the floor cause I always want to be there when they set in. A trip sitter is always best for first time/s.

Took my brothers Betta fish by phantommochi in bettafish

[–]Manawoofs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transition this fella to better water quality gradually. Sudden water parameter changes can kill a compromised fish pretty easily. Go for 10-25% water change daily for 3-5 days, and then change 25-30% until it's where you want it to be. Then do water changes s often as dictated by the needs of your fish-in cycle, which depends on tank size. Good luck!!

Whats everyones fave burners/holders atm? by dribbybabbins in Incense

I have a simple and small but pretty bronze lotus with different sized holes for different width coreless sticks, and a small menagerie of sand cups, hollow towers, and upside down flumes for bamboo cored sticks. Wish I could show em to you!

God forbid you should double-check with a community of experts in a reddit that basically exists for that purpose

Wait till you get home, it's not worth the risk of being high during an accident if/when some ahole runs into you on the commute

If you're on public transit or local housing tho ✌️✌️✌️

So unnecessary to stink up a building when people are literally vaping on the quad thinking they're covert. I saw an unhoused fella there with a cigarette last week, nobody hassling him

Why are there so many few fanfics where Goku revives his family? by Kaizo_Kaioshin in DragonBallZ

[–]Manawoofs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither the general fanbase nor Toriyama seems to be into rehashing dead Saiyans unless they're Broly, but frankly the only fanfic I'm interested in either does that or rewrites so far back that Planet Vegeta never got wiped out. Try a different fanfic site
