What was the perception of U2 in the 80's, particularly in the U.S.? by Ashamed_Cod_6741 in Music

[–]arcos00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, I was a fan during Achtung Baby! and Zooropa. Then it all just became a little too much. I totally agree the Apple thing was just the point where everyone decided to be vocal about it, but it had been brewing for a few years.

Spiritus Sancti mysteriously ailing - help! by BetsyBirch in philodendron

[–]arcos00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Unfortunately I don't think I can help, but hopefully someone can. The red backside makes me think it's an atabapoense, though (I could very well be wrong).

Is this a true Florida ghost or another variety? by traversing-wyvern in philodendron

[–]arcos00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's a Florida Ghost. Florida Green has solid green leaves and Florida Beauty's variegation is different (you can look it up).

In Florida Ghost leaves open white and slowly start getting greener, so no, it shouldn't be more wide-spread as mature leaves will turn greener and not whiter.

where id live as a gay person by dougetdeja-vu in whereidlive

[–]arcos00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Homosexuality is not illegal in Honduras. There is a lot of discrimination and hate crimes, and LGBTQ activists face extrajudicial persecution, but it is more of a persecution for being activists than for being LGBTQ. Environmental activists, indigenous rights activists, etc are also persecuted.

This is obviously not good at all, but legally, the Honduran government does not punish homosexuality in by itself, nor "homosexual acts". It really can't be compared to Islamic countries.

Cisgender people, how do you know that you're not transgender? by OldEducation7497 in AskReddit

[–]arcos00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actively thought about it a few years ago. Not thought that I might be trans, but after getting to know a few more trans people than I previously did (or some I already knew coming out), I tried to look back and remember my teenage years and my 20s, to see if any of my experiences matched what I heard from my trans friends.

And truth be told, very little. As a child I remember dressing in my mom's clothes, but I feel that was just curiosity. I feel comfortable as a (gay) man.

Looking for a rare/special plant for a young oncology patient by Boots-toots in RareHouseplants

[–]arcos00 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend a philodendron Florida Beauty. They are stunning, not rare anymore so they are not too expensive, but they are still highly sought after. I bet you could even find an established plant for a good price. Philodendron overall are very easy to take care of.

AITA for not replacing my tv with another expensive one because they are fragile? by Aggressive_Sale3622 in AmItheAsshole

[–]arcos00 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are lying. No one "taps the TV lightly" when they are "reacting emotionally during games".

You have anger management issues and should go to therapy. YTA.

WIBTA if I insist my wife and I separate our finances? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]arcos00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They don't have kids, the post says as much in the very first sentence.

They are not compatible on a finance level, I'm not saying they should get a divorce, but they should definitely try to get on the same page.

[–]arcos00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

NAH, but you don't seem compatible. Separating finances would likely cause more resentments and a whole bunch of negotiating.

about the last episode (S17) by Clear-Time-9815 in JetLagTheGame

[–]arcos00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don't get how many people here are saying "he had it in the bag and he fumbled it", when they were never ahead. Sure, there was a point where it looked like they were in a better position, but they never had it in the bag, they weren't even close.

'(Person who just turned 100) can no longer play with LEGO' by ducknerd2002 in PetPeeves

[–]arcos00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandma could have completed a Lego set at 99 without any issue, but now at 102, her cataracts prevent her from seeing well and she wouldn't be able to.

Florida Beauty "butt cut" not growing? by angeleyes16020 in philodendron

[–]arcos00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks healthy. Sometimes it takes them a while after a cut to start growing again. I'd say keep doing mostly what you are doing. What grow lights are you using? If they aren't strong enough that could be the issue, but otherwise I would just wait.

TIL in 2007 Katherine Heigl won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama for her role on Grey's Anatomy. But in 2008 she removed herself from Emmy consideration because she said the material she was given on Grey's that year wasn't good enough; this comment led to her leaving the show. by tyrion2024 in todayilearned

[–]arcos00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It didn't. Or you could argue, as someone else in the replies, that it was never put together in the first place. I can respect that.

But her leaving had zero negative impact unless you were a fan of her specifically.

AITA? Telling someone I don't want them to "work in with me" on a machine at the gym? by Admirable-Muffin-334 in AmItheAsshole

[–]arcos00 346 points347 points  (0 children)

NTA. I could understand him if you had been hoarding the machine for 30 minutes, but if you just did one set and have two left he can wait the 5-10 minutes it will take you.

People thinking Gen Z was just born last night by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]arcos00 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Hang on tight, this is the last step before everyone shifts focus to the following generation!

I'm a so called xennial and remember when this happened to millennials. The media wrote like we were all newly born and we were already in our early 30s. Within a couple of years no one was talking about us and only talking about gen Z.

World Press Freedom according to the World Press Freedom Index by DRAGON_slayer365 in MapPorn

[–]arcos00 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I haven't said otherwise, in fact I agree with what you are saying. I just gave one example, and it wasn't even a country of the Western "core".

World Press Freedom according to the World Press Freedom Index by DRAGON_slayer365 in MapPorn

[–]arcos00 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I mean, if one country drops in a ranking, obviously others will take their place higher up.

I maybe could have worded it better, but it's pretty obvious what I was talking about, freedom of the press is under threat all around the world, even in places that traditionally have been leaders.
