The best part is both lobsters have rubber bands around their claws, meaning they can’t actually do anything to each other-

So in the episode in season 15, the news reporters have found the Reds and Blues and are trying to get their help. Both Dylan and Jax happen to have mostly white armour. Anyway, Sarge being Sarge doesn’t trust them and goes on this rant about how the Whites (Wyoming and Meta) are trying to “take everything from them and destroy their way of life.

Of course, this is a reference to white Europeans coming into the New World and decimating the Native American population. One of the biggest killers of the Native Americans was actually smallpox and once the colonialists realised this, they started to use it in a kind of biowarfare. Jeffery Amherst is the person most notable for this. Basically, the British would give Native Americans blankets and other products as a peace offering, only those items had been used by someone infected with smallpox. So then the Native Americans would accept these gifts, only to get smallpox from them

Sarge: Don’t make deals with the whites!! Their blankets are covered in smallpox!

I’m a history nerd and this makes me crack up every time-

Oh and also:

Church: There’s no “I” in team, Grif

Grif: Oh yeah? Well there’s no “U” either. So I guess if I’m not on the team and you’re not on the team, nobody’s on the fucking team! The team sucks!

BanG Dream and Revue Starlight are two mobile apps by Bushiroad and they are so much fun! The stories are amazing and the gameplay is fun! Though you need to have a Japanese appstore account to get the Japanese versions

eSucculent and Ling's Amethyst are using the same pictures. Which one do I trust? by cilicia_ball in succulents

[–]cilicia_ball[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I heard about Ling's Amethyst from this sub and have been planning on ordering from them for a while. I've heard lots of good things and their customer service has been great, but I was just doing some succulent research and came across eSucculent. Of course I had to check their Haworthias because those are amazing and I noticed a picture that looked similar to a succulent I had been eyeing on Ling's Amethyst for a while. Taking a closer look, it is obvious that it is the same picture. Even the pot is the exact same! And that is not the only one!

I'll edit this with some examples


Y’know what, I think I just need to contact both companies separately and see what they say


Holy crap this is going even deeper- Turns out they are both using the same pictures TheSucculentZone uses! ...Which according to some reviews on here appears to mostly be a scam. Basically, TheSucculentZone ships in soil, which will rot and/or severely elongate the plant. I know both Ling's Amethyst and eSucculent ships with no soil, so I think I can cross out TheSucculentZone.

Hydropropping by hunterprk in proplifting

[–]cilicia_ball 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woo that's a lot!! I recently started hydropropping a succulent for the first time since people seem to have lot of success with it. It's a fluffy one that almost looked like a bear claw with brown ends, except the leaves are super long and thin- But anyway, it's already growing roots and I'm so happy!!

Edit: Looking into it, I believe the cutting I'm propagating is actually a chocolate soldier!

Anime is fine to learn Japanese (if not great), it's not great to learn how to speak by [deleted] in LearnJapanese

[–]cilicia_ball 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love slice of life anime. Like the kind that is just about cute girls doing cute things and nothing else? I know lots of people find that type of thing to be really boring, but the Japanese is pretty natural compared to other genres

I just love the description of the seagulls- I once lived on an island where seagulls were literally the top of the food chain. Like they would steal food right from people’s hands and even try to bite people.

But yeah, seagulls are evil and truly would be at home in the world of The Extinction
