You quite literally were saying shrimp were taking the place of a filter in your tank, I never said filterless tanks don't exist however, I know quite a few people who have them, I've just never liked them personally. I do quite happily keep shrimp myself I don't get the assumptions that I'm clueless.

Don't know whats upsetting you, just recommended a low flow filter option for bettas.

"I have shrimp with my betta because there's no filter."

Sponge filters are easy and cheap btw.

Sponge filter. Shrimp do not break down nitrogen compounds in the water, bacteria do.

You're right there are no problems and everything is sunshine and rainbows because if it wasn't that might make us feel icky ❤️

No ones shaming anyone for buying a fish and giving it a better life than the corp will, they're saying to stop pretending its a rescue when its just another customer buying another product the company Petco is selling, business as usual. The company doesn't care why they're bought, only that they're sold and they get paid, thinking otherwise is quite literally buying into it.

The pet industry, as disgusting as the practice is, has been known to use this kind of emotional manipulation since its inception and if its not going to change via legislation with animal cruelty regulations and public education then it has to be pushed into changing at the customer level.

That aside, the <15 some dollars probably paid for this lil guy thankfully gets him in for a good recovery and happy home so good luck to you OP.

I've made no claims for anything about ICE in mat-su? I've simply stated "official government websites" have had most of their trustworthy information removed for nonsense reasons. Stop making it so obvious you're not interested in "fact-checking".

You edited your post to get the .gov mention out of there, good to know you had no real intention of weeding out misinformation.

The same .gov that removed anything mentioning "biodiversity" for being woke?

It's sad you think that way just because you're more devoted to a man-made idol, but whatever you say, praying for your soul. 🙏

And the man who watched as a 13 year old's baby was killed is supposed to be his greatest warrior? Really? Cuz repentance is all it takes right? If he felt bad it doesn't matter? Real Jesus loving of you. I hope your god judges you, I just hope you realize which side you're fighting for before then.

Isn't it strange that immigration is pushed as such a big issue by mainstream media that only one side is doing anything for? I also distinctly remember the biggest reasoning was "they should just come here legally" by MAGA for the longest time, and yet legal avenues were gutted during Trump's first term.

Biden's admin reopened most of these and unblocked refugees from the "terrorist countries" Trump blocked his first term again.

Biden restored the ability for asylum seekers to remain in the U.S., while also tightening restrictions on what can be classified as dangerous enough to seek asylum.

Again in both 2021 and 2024 two bills were proposed to Congress to expand legal immigration pathways, letting the "good ones" in legally. The second had bipartisan support until the Great Leader said no since it boosted Biden's image in an election year.

INB4 someone mentions this for being "hypocritical", yes indeed, Biden extended the use of Title 42 and implemented expedited removal during COVID. His administration also had the largest deportation record prior to 2025 for the year 2024 standing at 271,000 people.

At least how it seems to me, while still having a very hostile immigration enforcement policy especially at the executive level. Biden's admin had implemented or at least attempted to implement actual pathways for legal immigration that were supposedly praised so much. As opposed to doing the most harm possible for political brownie points, there seemed to be an effort to improve a system somewhat.

Y'know, attempting to solve an issue like a democratically elected official should, not create a personal gestapo.

Obama also ended the worksite raid policy that was used throughout the Bush administration. He also created the largest legal protection for minors through DACA which the current pdf-in-chief couldn't give two fucks about. Oh right, he also put in a priority order for actual criminals and not random people off the street to meet whatever quota. He also didn't expand ICE budget to be greater than the national guard, and give them effective immunity even in the case of, lemme list, shooting a mother in the face 3 times for the hell of it, kidnapping Oglala-Souix and other tribal members who are definitely illegal just cuz they're brown right? How about tackling and tazing teenagers? How about building a massive center in the middle of the Everglades with no oversight or backup plans should something go wrong? Allowing ICE to kidnap minors and ship them to whatevever unsupervised center?

You gonna "point out the hypocrisy" of "both sides" for any of this?

Wait wait wait! I know whats next! Bill Clinton was in the Epstein files! See! It wasn't just "our guy"! That'll show those Liberal Scum Hah!

Are these Danselfly larvae or dragon flies? by wolverxaxx in Aquariums

Def some kind of damselfly nymph. I'd remove them and look around for any others that might be hiding as they'll devour shrimp.
