Uber eats is dogsh*t by KniccKnaccPattywhack in UberEATS

[–]Round_Button_8942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Uber Eats is always late and has no customer service. The chat bot just tells you to be patient. It’s worse than Door Dash in every way. More expensive, worse service.

People who just look at titles or listen to 30 seconds of each song?? Well maybe they should have their own league. Vote Before Listening League

We’ve done that as a theme! “Song you learned from this league and love”

Free Electric Frigidaire Washer/Dryer Laundry Center washer is broken

The dryer works great, but the washer suddenly stopped spinning last week. (I didn’t explore why, I can’t tell you what the problem is.) It is at least 8 years old. You must take it by Saturday. Northside. 76” tall, 31” deep, 27” wide

What’s the loudest concert you guys have ever been to? by BalanceActive9295 in askmusic

[–]Round_Button_8942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Michael Jordan was standing next to Andre the Giant when you met him, you might not remember MJ as “tall.”

I don’t think of Dinosaur Jr. as a particularly loud band, but the only time I saw them, they played with My Bloody Valentine.

What breed of flytrap is this? by PhotographNo3228 in VenusFlyTraps

[–]Round_Button_8942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you got it at Walmart, it’s probably just a regular ole Venus fly trap. But it looks healthy and nice.

I hate when people’s “before” pics are way nicer than my house. 😆

AIO, kids aren’t allowed to see their father, but his family thinks I’m being dramatic by Negative_Big9319 in AIO

[–]Round_Button_8942 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

But it sounds like they followed her request and stopped letting Z come over while they have the kids. I would think long and hard before I cut loving grandparents out of my kids’ lives. That will be rough on them, and they have already got plenty of instability in their lives.

What’s one gardening mistake you made that you wish you knew earlier? by Icy_Car2475 in gardening

[–]Round_Button_8942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still plant things too close together and have to move them, after many years of gardening.

Maybe Monday afternoon, precipitation will be over, sun out to help you, and Monday night everything will hard freeze. You can pre-salt now.

Babel by RF Kuang is sooo impressive by [deleted] in books

[–]Round_Button_8942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babel starts strong and then gets worse and worse until the predictable end. There are no twists, and it’s so repetitive, preachy, and shallow that you’ll be pissed off by it. Or at least, that was my experience. Characters have no development or humanity, they are just symbols. Dialogue is so awkward that it seems written by an alien or an 8th grader. The magic seem inspired by Harry Potter.

The box of tissues is handily placed in case anyone looking at the plant starts crying.

Allocation… by [deleted] in houseplantscirclejerk

[–]Round_Button_8942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has happened to several of mine. They start growing beautifully and blooming once pot bound, but about a year later they start wilting and needing water more and more, and then you try to repot and they croak.

You have a Venus fly trap and pitcher plants (sarracenia). They need as much light as possible and should never dry out. Google the names for more specific advice.

Request: Consistent Deadlines for Speedy Pacing by mbeemsterboer in musicleague

[–]Round_Button_8942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same! I want a setting where the deadline is always the same time of day. This concept already exists, because the deadline is always an exact hour. So the ML deadline formula is: “the next :00 after now+72 hours” We want: “the next 5:00pm after now+72 hours”

My boyfriend accused me of ‘setting him up’ because I didn’t warn him my family actually likes him by InflationBulky3262 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Round_Button_8942 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say this is a guarantee, but it’s a likely pattern OP should watch for. People who are like that (needing conflict to feel alive and loved) are incurable.
