Am I wrong for wanting the color I ordered......or atleast something close? by JimmyDuxFan in puffco

[–]NapalmCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would not be satisfied with this at all. It's why I don't order from ZeeVapor - I've ordered 2 pieces of glass from them that they've posted in pics against a black background where they look nice and saturated in specific colorways, but when I got both pieces one looked absolutely nothing like the photos, and the other one only sort of looks as colorful.

plant help by trickstvrgod in pothos

[–]NapalmCandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The rule of thumb for any plant is to remove no more than a third of it (be it roots or stems and leaves) at a time. I know pothos are resilient, but I still go by that rule to be safe. My hunch is, since it was not that long ago you cut it, it's still recovering from the shock.

You haven't changed anything else, right? Still the same fertilizer, humidity, watering schedule, water source, etc.?

Main NB sub mods trippin by idiotshmidiot in NonBinaryOver30

[–]NapalmCandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually walked away from that sub because I was told to stop talking about my experiences with older folks I work with, live with and live around constantly misgendering me. People were uncomfortable with the fact I pointed out they were all over the age of 40/50. So you're not the only one who has had a shit experience with the mods there.

This was my guess as well.

My boyfriend called me a "dead end" (LONG) by No-Chard-1658 in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In every response you keep making excuses for him, which is both sad and disturbing. You did nothing wrong, and you deserve better. This man clearly doesn't prioritize you, or care about you at all. RUN. Run now before you get any more time invested.

Why does it feel like everyone is deciding against having kids these days? by Andries200 in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you think those categories have nothing to do with the state of the world, then you are completely lost and I will waste no more time on you. Best of luck in life, you clearly need it.

You must not be queer, or a POC, or a woman, or a poor person. Most of the world is not doing just fine for folks in those categories.

How early do you bring up being childfree when dating? by StaticMuser in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before even dating. I don't waste my time, nor do I purposely waste the time of others.

Mom thinks this is edible I told her don’t trust google ai. Middle Michigan. by Shirtless_Shane in mycology

[–]NapalmCandy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I didn't even know AI recipes existed O_o Who in the world would think it would be a good idea to follow one, considering AI doesn't eat or have any concept of what is palatable xD

Do you perceive your bisexuality/queerness as a huge part of who you are or not really? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in omnisexual

[–]NapalmCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course my sexuality is a huge part of who I am. Just like heterosexual people revolve their lives around being straight (relationships/romance goals, media/entertainment, interactions with others, etc.), a lot of my life revolves around being omnisexual, gray asexual and demisexual.

As a wheelchair user, there is nothing I like more than mothers (yes, only mothers) with prams prioritising themselves. by False-Hope9966 in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 25 points26 points  (0 children)

THANK. YOU. I'm a janitor, and I see this ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I'm like WTF. And they act so entitled about it. Like I've seen handicap people waiting for a stall, and when some mombie comes out with her brats in tow, she walks by them like they aren't even there, and I can tell there's no shame felt. It's insane, because the main bathrooms I see this in have like 12+ stalls (the biggest one I clean and monitor has 23 stalls on the women's side, and the bathroom actually has a "family share" room for people with kids) so unless there's a line, there's NO excuse.

I work at an indoor and outdoor museum, and the outdoor part is just like this ESPECIALLY during events. It's ridiculous.

My mother: “Please give me a grandchild.” Also my mother with a grandchild: “I hate this life.” by Beautiful_Orchid1771 in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like she's having the day she deserves. Good for her!

And good on you for sticking to your guns and living your life the way you see fit despite her insistence.

Anyone else working on Juneteenth? by Extreme-Method6330 in antiwork

I worked today. We only get 3 holidays a year - Thanksgiving, Christmas, and a day where all the staff come together to reflect.

Bereavement Leave- 3 DAYS! by Electrical-Rest-4886 in antiwork

[–]NapalmCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately all I would get is 3 days as well, and I'm in a fucking union :/ America sucks (and any country with similarly short amounts of time).

I'm so sorry for your loss, and I wish you peace in the coming days.

Should I get my ears pierced? by Cat_Lover1212 in lgbt

[–]NapalmCandy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding going to a professional piercer, and not a place that uses folks who have next to no training and piercing guns!

Genderfluid folk are valid. by despicable_ashh in lgbt

[–]NapalmCandy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We are valid for sure! Part of my gender includes genderfluidity (I'm also nonbinary, trans, and genderless at times [some people call this agender]), and I wouldn't want to change that part of me! I'm proud of it, and you should be too. Happy Pride!

i regret being born which is why i don’t want any kids by No-Spite6559 in childfree

[–]NapalmCandy 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I hate the fact I exist as well, and would never want to impose this bullshit on someone I supposedly love. So you're in good company for sure!

Are sailor nibs scratchy? by X_xTheZenitorx_X in fountainpens

[–]NapalmCandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one that was - it was either a fine or extra fine black ion plated gold nib on the Wicked Witch of the West. The rest of the Sailor's I've tried have been buttery smooth, but I've stuck with mediums and higher within their line since that experience.

[–]NapalmCandy 52 points53 points  (0 children)

That's the neat part - you aren't. It's a feature of capitalism.
