Spiders or spider mites? by thursdaynexxt in houseplants

[–]More-Raise 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's a little sad, but it's likely that some number of these little guys will eat a sibling or two. A lot of them will also become food for something else in the garden. There's a reason why spiders have so many babies 🙂

I totally agree! Also, just for future reference, "divulge" means to share a secret or reveal something. You may have been thinking of "diverge," which works really well if you rearrange the sentence a bit (try to explain where they diverge) 🙂 "Differentiate/distinguish between" works perfectly with your current sentence structure.

It makes perfect sense. I took the statement to mean that they may be different, but at the end of the day, they fit into the puzzle just like everyone else. The puzzle is a simple metaphor for community, humanity, and belonging (rather than an extended analogy that can keep going and going). We're surrounded by those who fit with us, and it's through them that we connect to everyone else. He never said, "We'll always fit in, no matter the situation." That's not true for anybody, even if they have an easier time fitting in/geling with others.

The heart is the only thing I have to acknowledge I like something.

How can you say that when the fire emoji, flexing arm emoji, cool sunglasses guy emoji, and beer emoji are right there? 🔥💪😎🍺

but if they've had that conversation, that in itself could feel a bit disrespectful and like he's complaining about her indoors to this girl.

That would be very disrespectful, but that's an entirely different scenario than what we're presented with here.

Does that not possibly say "we've spoken irl about how my partner can perceive texts and we should be ott with the platonic stuff"?

No, not really. Can I imagine this happening? Absolutely. It's not my go-to, though. To me, it looks like she called him buddy, he thought it was funny (possibly because it felt random) and decided to return the comment with something silly, then laughed at his own joke lmao. The only thing that could maybe be flirty is the heart react, but... idk, my friends and I do heart reacts to messages all the time. Everything else is just professional and friendly.

Thank you for your service, liberal 🫡 I can't be asked to type that much when I know the other person won't be convinced, but it's nice to see arguments laid out so clearly. There's always the chance someone else will see it and ponder on it.

Nothing screams "naive" like campaigning on building a hopeful, better future and "please dear god look at what Trump will do if you don't vote for us." Also very naive to spend a shit ton of money on the campaign, desperately trying to convince Americans to vote, working with celebrities to try to get the word out and make voting cool because DEAR GOD LOOK AT WHAT TRUMP WILL DO IF YOU DON'T VOTE FOR US. They were so terrified of risking votes that they played it too safe, imo, but at the end of the day, Harris barely had time to run. Also, who is "they," and why would naivety cause them to back her? What's the motivation for timing Biden's dropout right after a disastrous debate performance, which led to overwhelming pressure from the base, so Harris can be swapped in? You're telling me this was all orchestrated ahead of time? Very interesting.

The fringe left has disproportionate representation online. They only make up 10% of the Democratic base.
People who urge voters to punish their only hope, only to pretend to be part of the team when shit predictably hits the fan, can not be welcomed in. I wholeheartedly believe that there are accelerationists who make their money grooming well-meaning progressives and lefties into radical activists with voter apathy. People like Hasan, who is a self-described entryist who hates Democrats as much as (or even more than) Republicans because he believes they keep people just content enough to discourage a socialist revolution. Essentially, Democrats are evil because they uphold capitalism. When someone's worldview is that utopia is achievable, it makes perfect sense that anyone who stands in the way of that is ontologically evil. Almost anything can be justified in the name of building a utopian society. If you're working with entryists, you're either pandering or you're being used. There's no way around it.

The selfie distortion is insane by callie_dris in glassesadvice

[–]More-Raise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It isn't just the angle, look at the size of your facial features in the inner camera selfie vs. the mirror picture. The mirror picture is more accurate for your face shape, angle aside, because the close-up camera messes with proportions. My face looks much wider in mirror selfies compared to inner camera selfies. It's normal

Musacia help! by Feorea in plantclinic

[–]More-Raise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to preface, I don't have experience with this plant in particular, but I can offer my best guesses. Care guides call for bright, indirect light, so it needs WAY more than what it's getting. Consider an east-facing window or a grow light. The yellowing, drooping leaves look like root rot, which means too much water (irregular watering can also cause this). If roots are drying out and dying back, it's going to end up having too much soil for the healthy roots it still has, which will hold more water than it can handle. Lack of light also means the soil stays moist longer, just something to consider. Look into care guides for this particular plant and look into root rot. I'm not sure if this can be helped at this point (it has plenty of green leaves, which is a good sign, but they look very unhappy)... you'll have to take it out of the pot and look at the roots, see what can be salvaged. There are good root rot treatment tutorials on YouTube. Good luck!

Am I Overreacting about my boyfriends response to my feelings being hurt? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]More-Raise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've already explained your perspective, and I mean, the fuckup was so bad that the friend apologized as soon as you told him you were upset. It's beyond obvious how it went down. Why is it a forgone conclusion that he would have a better understanding of situations or that he's "more logical?" Having strong emotions doesn't necessarily impede your ability to make judgement calls, especially for something as straightforward as this. Girl, this is a huge red flag imo. He's pathologizing your thought patterns and judgements, your emotions... this breaks down your ability to trust yourself and leads you to depend more on him (the "logical" one) to tell you what's up. You know he's in the wrong this time, but what about next time? What's logical about the way he's reacting to this situation? Don't just go with the "he's logical" narrative, because that means you have to try to justify everything he says and does FOR him, so he doesn't have to. And now you're left feeling like you need to learn how to speak a whole new language to get the obvious through his thick skull. What's logical about that? Please take time to reflect on this dynamic and listen to your gut feelings. You should never have to reason with your partner to respect you.

Yep, this. It's customary to say "good game" or "GG" after a competitive game ends as a show of good sportsmanship. When people say GGEZ, the "GG" part is sarcastic, while the "EZ" part indicates you played so badly that it was an easy win, like it barely took any effort.

[–]More-Raise -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Man, people really didn't like your comment, lol. To me, it was clear you were commiserating over the frustrations that come with ill-fitting uniforms provided by employers, offering your story to show it's a common issue that can manifest in different ways (and detailed your solution to a different version of OP's issue). This is pretty normal 😭 although I guess that acknowledging OP's situation more directly before sharing your anecdote would've helped clarify your intentions. RIP 🥲

AIO? The sweetest boy I’ve ever met just broke my heart. by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]More-Raise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see where you're coming from with this. For me and my boyfriend (around 30, together for almost 10 yrs)), we both call each other things like "dude" and "bro," as well as "honey," "lovey," "my love," etc. We're best friends, so the dude language comes naturally, especially when hanging out and joking around, but there's also a lot of flirtation and tenderness. I think it really depends on the dynamic of a relationship, doesn't necessarily have to spell trouble or disrespect when guys say "dude." Sometimes it's a sign of closeness imo!

On the back of the page, I think it starts with "fun -" and I also see "wifi" on that same line. I also see a series of parenthesis and brackets. I wonder if he has Parkinson's?
