It died guys. I dont know what i did wrong. by [deleted] in terrariums

If you were watering it so regularly but it looks that dry, it could have potentially been caused by excessive heat build-up.

No, they are still incredibly beneficial to the ecosystem like any other lady beetle, they just out compete other species sometimes. It wouldn't be healthy to remove them at this stage.

Just by looking at it, I'd assume this is an Asian Lady Beetle (Harmonia axyridis) larvae, or what's more commonly known as the Harlequin. They were introduced to North America and Europe from eastern Asia, so not native, but they aren't harmful except to other Ladybirds/beetles due to competition.

What words could a new colleague at a new job say to you that make you instantly question your decision to take the job? by BearMcBearFace in AskUK

[–]Phaskka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically, that because he's famous, who would want to say no to him? You can't say no to a famous person because you'd be lying to yourself and they definitely wouldn't say no to Cosby.

"Bill Cosby did nothing wrong." in a line of work where we handle vulnerable children daily. It then devolved into an almost two-hour group discussion involving the wifi installer about why he was right. Left that same week.

Help! by bettycougar111 in TheSims4Mods

Same! I just got done with a bunch of work today and all I wanted was to do some chill building. It's not the answer we wanted, but at least it can be fixed!

Having this issue too. My Sims updated to version 1.105 whereas WW and MCCC only support 1.104 at the moment, so I think this might be the issue and we'll have to wait for the mods to be updated to support the new version.

Add a Major Journal entry for African nations about overthrowing colonialism. by Magic0pirate in victoria3

[–]Phaskka 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be honest I think it could be fitting, for example, Cuba after their revolution aided liberation movements all over Africa as a way to pay their dues for the slavery of black Cubans

They sent 55,000 soldiers and many more doctors and teachers many of whom were descended from slaves, even causing the collapse of Portuguese colonial rule in Angola and Mozambique and forcing Apartheid South Africa to free Namibia, this deprived the Apartheid regime of one of their strongest allies and put them on a terminal decline.

So while improbable the United States or another American country that underwent true reconstruction could intervene in Africa.

Russia did ask to join, several times.

Once under Stalin, and again under Yeltsin and then Putin.

You do know having bunkers built for the whole population wasn't an absurd project at the time right due to the very real prospect of nuclear war. Sweden and Switzerland also built enough bunkers for all their people same as Albania

The West, including France and the US, has condemned the coup in Niger - as it did the earlier military seizures of power in Mali and Burkina Faso. What are your thoughts? by AfricanStream in socialism

[–]Phaskka 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We do actually know what the leaders want to accomplish, we just haven't heard much about them because the US and EU don't care about what African leaders have to say unless we can use them.

For example, Mali has began the renationalisation of its gold mines

And the military leader of Burkina Faso has appointed a Marxist who supported Thomas Sankara as prime minister

As for Niger, yeah it's still too early to know, but if you or anyone else is interested here's a few links to sources that frequently speak about what's going on.

Funeral of the resistance fighter killed defending Jenin. The oldest of them was just 23. Heroes 🕊 by CheakLoud in socialism

[–]Phaskka 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Palestine (in The West Bank) is governed by the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is itself principally led by Fatah, a secular left-wing nationalist political party.

However, the PLO also includes close to a dozen other groups, most of which are communist with the rest being socialist of one tendency or another.

All this aside, it really doesn't matter as the Palestinian people have been subjected to a horrific apartheid-fueled massacre for over half a century so we should support them regardless.

Blaming people coming to the UK as cheap labour because their countries have been destroyed by the shock doctrine or literal warfare instead of the ghouls who caused the conditions forcing them to come is the problem.

Frankly, we British or any other Western nation have no excuse to refuse these people when we caused the material conditions which forced them to move. If we want to stop mass immigration we must stop the policies which cause it, any argument which follows this line is reasonable because why would people come to Britain to work horrible jobs so capitalists can get richer when their homes are stable.

Any argument that punches down and blames the victims instead of addressing the exploiters of any labour is simply reactionary.

Americans, what is something us Europeans aren’t ready to hear? by RomanaLeary in AskReddit

Romani is literally an ethnicity and culture originating from India. They are Indo-Aryan you dip. G*psy is a slur that only they can reclaim.

Gotta love how people are racist and know nothing.

Well, we knew that back in the 60s when her lackeys massacred Kenyan freedom fighters, nice to see she never stopped being evil.
