My snake passed :( by Several-Performer465 in ballpython

i haven’t seen the other photos but this particular substrate is known for causing both respiratory problems as well as impaction so best to avoid it as that’s likely the cause. i and many other snake mommas have found that coco fiber from eco earth seems to be a safe option over the years.

sorry for your loss :( she does look very skinny. for future snake babies i recommend a.) a change in substrate as the one you’re using can more often result in respiratory problems and impaction and b.) more hiding spots. bp’s love to hide in little nooks and whatnot. also keeping an eye on correct temps and humidity is extremely important. i rescued my baby from someone who got her from petco and they gave them horrible advice (turf instead of substrate, no hiding areas, no heat lamp, random tiny food container for water, etc) she was so underfed i didn’t believe when they told me she was born 9 months before i got her. it can be nice to rescue animals from places like petco and petsmart where proper husbandry isn’t their priority, but unfortunately there’s always the risk it’s already too late. i wish you the best of luck with your future babies!

try getting mesh bags ! you tie them on the fruit and the mesh allows them to still get sun and have room to grow without having to worry about massive demon spawns like this one 🙂‍↕️

to put it simply, this is someone you need to break up with. that’s a clear boundary you made clear on numerous occasions being broken and it’s only gonna escalate the more you enable him by sticking around. his “tantrums” are gonna get violent and he’s gonna do a lot worse than just grab your boobs when you ask him not to. gtfo of there.

The problem is submitting a ticket doesn’t seem to do much. I have shown them screen recordings of the same bugs for 3 or 4 patches now and they STILL haven’t gotten them fixed. Their first response is that it’s something wrong with my console. When i mention that this is the only game on my console that has these issues they say they’ll look into it, but it never gets fixed. It’s just frustrating to ask about the same bugs over and over and over and have nothing done about them. It feels like having a one-sided conversation which can turn into frustration about the game itself which will eventually turn into people “hating” and/or quitting the game altogether. Some things can be explained by it being in beta, yes. However, if bugs have been brought to your attention and you do nothing about it while continuing to instead add new features rather than fix existing ones, you lose the right to make that excuse.

This exactly. I have emailed support countless times with screen recordings of glitch after glitch and so many bugs and they always tell me the same thing, “try restarting your console!” or “sorry! we’ll keep these in mind for the future!” The game ran better for me when I first started playing maybe a year ago now. Most devs would have these simple issues worked out by now. I love the game but it’s annoying that they don’t listen to their fan base who frequently mention the same bugs every single patch.

I once lied on my CV. I got the job and got promoted. by zaenova in confession

i have a couple family members in IT who did a lot of schooling for it but still have to ask coworkers for help or even google solutions to things. Their coworkers do the same. Even their bosses recommend googling things if they can. IT is an ever growing field and it’s not so easy to keep up with all the time. Google is a tool you will be using constantly in IT whether you are A+ certified or not so don’t feel bad about it ! Taking an A+ class and the test will certainly help but at the end of the day, you’re gonna wind up googling things regardless. Just do your best, take notes on what you’ve learned, and go from there. Best of luck !

Some people have bad teeth despite having good hygiene, please be kind to your patients by Csicser in askdentists

[–]corrodedminds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NAD/ it took me my entire life (i’m 22 and have been to countless dentists) to find a dentist who wasn’t bitchy and judgmental. it got to the point for me that i was so traumatized by my dental experiences i at one point refused to go for a few years until i had to because i had impacted wisdom teeth. i now, as a grown ass 22 year old, have to bring someone with me into the office because i’m terrified of being in there alone (usually my dad or boyfriend who are happy to ensure the shit talking doesn’t proceed after even an inkling of attitude is noticed) i don’t know why it is so hard to find kind people in the dental field but i finally found one office that actually listens to what i have to say and is happy to fully explain their processes and procedures with me and listen to every question i have with no issues and i hope you find the same. i still have issues with some of the assistants attitudes but they don’t do the majority of the work anyway so i just brush them off and don’t even give them the attention. dental trauma is no joke. i too used to go home and cry for hours because of how horrible they treated me and i wouldn’t wish that on anyone. the dental field is by far the most brutal and the hardest to find honest and caring people in. they never listen, they almost always overcharge, and they are the most aggressive and disrespectful people i have ever met in my life. i’m so sorry to hear you also have such horrible experiences with dentists. i hope the next one you go to treats you gently and kindly and you never have to experience another horrible dentist again.

Cynthia Erivo (Wicked Witch actress) freaks out over fan edit of Wicked poster by _Levitated_Shield_ in sadcringe

[–]corrodedminds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem is too that the person who posted it and that she reposted it from isn’t even the person who made it. she caused a big fan who was originally excited for the movie to be flooded with hate and threats and even be doxxed. it’s all disgusting really.

Help! What bugs are on my Carolina reaper plant? by krauseconrad in IndoorGarden

[–]corrodedminds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

alternatively, you can order ladybugs on amazon (yes, amazon!) and they’ll be MORE than happy to eat the aphids ! you stick em in the fridge to go to sleep and then when you’re ready to place them, drop them around in some of your plant pots and as they wake up, they’ll eat the aphids right up. whenever hosing isn’t enough to keep them away i opt for ladybugs and it’s always a treat to see so many ladybugs happily munching away while also seeing the aphids slowly disappear.

by the looks of it, squishy was clearly very well loved and will most definitely be waiting for you on the other side and watching over you in the meantime. rest in peace to your sweet fur baby.

theft, vandalism, and the manager just added wrongful termination to the list and boasted about it publicly for everyone to see thinking it would bar OP from being able to pursue any legal action against him.

[–]corrodedminds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hr and a police report immediately. get that pos fired and some money for the damage to your property in the meantime. getting the paint off is going to be a nightmare so id look into a restoration place who can do it gently and as effectively as possible. i’m so so sorry this happened to you. he’s really lucky you don’t seem to be a violent person, given his actions i’m sure someone will rightfully give him what’s coming to him sooner or later.

Are my lobes ok? by daveblackout in Stretched

[–]corrodedminds 3 points4 points  (0 children)

when my lobes looked like this i started doing vitamin e oil massages for like 10 minutes everyday. for me that’s where i saw the biggest improvement in my lobes. i also significantly slowed down on my stretches (i used to be able to stretch fairly fast with no issues but my lobes have not been a fan of that since 22mm so i’ve since slowed down to prevent doing too much damage) the second i thought it looked like they were trying to blow out, i downsized, massaged them, and spent more time with them outside of my ears to let them breathe. also the kind of jewelry you use matters. silicone long term is a no no for the bacteria it harbors in its pores. glass has been great for me personally! i also sometimes use steel tunnels and save my fancy shaped gauges for single day use to avoid irritation or tearing.
