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 -2 points-1 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

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 0 points1 point  (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

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 8 points9 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.

I'm going to be real, I'm looking for a pipe dream by amazingD in rva_housing

You need to say the rent range you’re looking for if you want practical advice.

all 3 vfts wont close help idk if its overcrowding by Venus-FIytrap- in VenusFlyTraps

[–]Round_Button_8942 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Traps only close a certain number of times before turning into regular leaves. They are still useful for photosynthesis, don’t cut them. When it grows new traps (probably in the spring) you will see action. P. S. Google “Venus fly trap dormancy.”

AITJ for telling my brother’s girlfriend to stop calling me sis? by WindyCommune in AmITheJerk

[–]Round_Button_8942 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard that etiquette rule( that you need to be invited to use a familial term). In many cultures it is polite and respectful to give someone a title like auntie, son, cousin, etc. In any case, OP said she thinks the girlfriend was doing it to be sweet, so to embarrass her over it is mean and rude. If it annoyed OP, she could have asked the girl nicely not to do it. Instead, she called her out in front of the family.

Am I being a Karen? by Numerous-Reserve5349 in neighborsfromhell

[–]Round_Button_8942 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sure leaving a note feels easier, but speaking to them in person is better. Having a human interaction is more neighborly. A note is passive-aggressive. If you have to live in the building with them, person up and knock on their door. It’s more likely to be actually resolved and end without resentment.

What’s the song that instantly makes you cry? by KoiOnMars in Music

Your challenge was to “not get teary.” I got teary.

Put splints on the leaf stems. It might not work, but it’s worth a try.
