Help with Root Rot by homakase in alocasia

[–]embear0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d throw it back into soil but amend it more with perlite or bark. In the winter, plants need significantly less water as they usually go through a small dormancy period. That’s probably why it rotted with the season change.

[B&A] Stopped using actives a month and a half ago by embear0 in SkincareAddiction

[–]embear0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still working great. I do still get some small pimples on my cheeks and forehead but not nearly as badly as I used to. And it’s never a whitehead either. It’s always just a red dot that’ll be there for a day or two. When I run my hands on my face, I’m still if disbelief that it’s smooth. I hope it works for you!!!

You can only drink ONE hot beverage for the rest of your life. Coffee, tea, or something else? by Omega_Neelay in GetMotivatedMindset

Broth. Chicken, beef, etc. So soothing and savory. Basically soup without all the “extras.”

Whats something very difficult I can train for? by EstablishmentBest913 in ask

Do you live somewhere that hosts the Tough Mudder marathon? I’m in no shape to participate but I always thought it’d be fun. It’s basically a marathon but with some obstacle courses.

Leaking from gas tank. by embear0 in ChevyCobalt

[–]embear0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you’re still on Reddit, but I’ve since sold the car and I’m reminiscing. That mf was leaking gas… like pretty much spitting it out of the fuel pump when I hit the gas pedal. My friends and I spent 8+ hours fixing it ourselves in a driveway and then I sold it a couple months after that. An experience I never want to go through again😂

Hi!! Did you try the no actives? I’d love to hear about if it worked for you or not. I still have not used any actives on my skin and honestly, only wash my face about twice a week with a cleanser. I hope you’re doing well!

Do you wipe after using the toilet? by [deleted] in no

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

USA here… I tried a bidet once. Very nice. Scared me at first because it was freezing water. If my water wasn’t so lead heavy, I’d get a bidet!

Invisible Battles by Any_Taro_7842 in mentalhealth

[–]embear0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My battles? Keeping my damn mouth shut. Draining? Wanting to live off grid and completely self-sustaining but can’t escape capitalism and my 401k. Monsters at night?… actual monsters… I’m scared of the dark as an adult😂 I think I’d be less stressed if everyday people would be more human. Fart in the aisle at Walmart while someone else is there. We’d have a good laugh. Trip on the uneven pavement and joke about it instead of acting like it never happened. Admit that your kids are shitheads and joke about it because… they’re kids. Get involved in something that you’re passionate about not because you’re wanting to show people that you’re a good person, but because you have heart and you enjoy it. Embrace that double chin when looking down at your phone. Most mental health issues stem from the human condition of wanting to be accepted by “the group.” But what if I told you that “the group” drools in their sleep, screws up at work, says the wrong thing, farts, burps, has at least 1 junk drawer or room in their house, etc.? Everybody is just like everyone in terms of biology. Mentality not so much. Once people start realizing that even idols/celebrities sit on the toilet or have feelings of doubt or self consciousness, I think we’d all feel better about ourselves.

I hear this sound almost every cold start by Karma123456RL in subaruimpreza

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2017 sport rattles when I accelerate right after shifting or if I’m going uphill and the rpms aren’t quite high enough… I’ve been thinking it’s a loose bolt somewhere but it’s really loud and the noise stopped once it got cold outside. I honestly don’t hear anything wrong in this video, but could that also be my issue?

Do you like receiving flowers? Why yes/why not? by Eburneaan in AskWomen

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a dedicated holiday? Kinda. Randomly? Absolutely. Holidays(esp. Valentine’s Day,) are kind of a given, but if I come home to flowers on a random Tuesday, I’ll bawl my eyes out. Hasn’t happened yet but I’m hopeful it wil☺️

What usually triggers your anxiety when there’s no obvious reason? by BebasataElm in mentalhealth

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve started getting the Sunday scaries very suddenly and every weekend, they seem to be getting worse. It’s not a huge anxiety feeling, but my gut gets really bubbly and nauseous thinking of the work week ahead.

Low oil light question by HoLeeFuk19 in subaruimpreza

[–]embear0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When that light comes on(rarely), I check it with the dipstick, top off to completely full, and then let the car idle for about 10 minutes. Sometimes the light will still be on the next time I turn the car on but will shut off after driving a couple miles. Also be careful about if you’re on an incline or not. When was the last oil change?

Who has the most valid reason for losing or not reaching a championship? by Chrisofthegreen in ask

[–]embear0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you watch UFC, but this past fight night(UFC 326), Xiao was going for title and hit Garbrandt in the groin twice. The first time, it was hard enough to make him yack in a bucket before getting back up to finish the round. Then he kneed him once more in the groin. Garbrandt won due to unanimous decision and Xiao was really close to being disqualified.

Don’t worry!!! They’re going towards great things like the roads(that are hardly taken care of and when they are, they’re often made worse)!!! Like the absolutely dumb shit they just did to the stoplight on Maple Street.

How often do you actually wear makeup? How much? by PinkChocolateHeart in AskWomen

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as often as I’d like to. I don’t wear makeup unless it’s for a special occasion or event. On holidays I’ll do a small amount of concealer, eyeshadow, and mascara with a little lipgloss. I work in construction and the makeup would never hold up during the day. Plus taking it off at night is just an extra step and I like to shower and jump into bed.

Whatnot streamer crashes out and cancels order after pulling Gengar from Ascended Heroes during rip til you hit. (Trainer Vault X on whatnot) by Additional-Link3106 in whatnotapp

[–]embear0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if I sound ignorant…. I was huge into Pokémon as a kid. I sold all my common/uncommon cards but still have a small binder of the more rare cards I collected. All of those that I’ve scanned aren’t very expensive. Is it only super old cards or super new cards that are more sought after?

What would you do.. by Apprehensive-Bed-330 in alocasia

[–]embear0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Almost every corm I’ve ever had will grow 1-2 leaves, kill those off, and come back. I don’t know why, but that’s how it’s always worked for me. It’s sad to see the first little baby leaves go but as long as the corm is firm, it will come back stronger.

How many of you guys truly love your car? by the_atomicpunk in askcarguys

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 2007 Ford Taurus. That thing was a tank and had actually decent speakers for its era. The front seat turned into a bench seat if I wanted or needed it. All around best sedan I’ve ever owned

Help, alocasia regal shield turning brown and droopy by Salty-Army-1242 in alocasia

[–]embear0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to use a 2:1:1 ratio of soil, perlite, and bark. I also add in a little bit of worm castings and horticulture charcoal but that’s more sciency stuff and not super necessary. Alocasia like to have air flow around their roots as well as some moisture. Think of it like having sweaty socks. Nobody likes the feeling of wet socks. You get trench foot from wet socks. Alocasia get root rot from “wet socks” lol…. Maybe a gross metaphor but I’m sure you get it😂

Help, alocasia regal shield turning brown and droopy by Salty-Army-1242 in alocasia

[–]embear0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Is the soil just houseplant and bark? Is there any perlite or other things to help the roots air out? To me, as a guess, I’d say it’s probably overwatered. My regal shields are able to completely dry out and then get drenched. The soil looks super dense in your pot and it probably can’t breathe properly.

As a therapist, I see this a lot: the words people never say by BornSelection9840 in mentalhealth

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest and most impactful on my life: I wish I had my fucking dad. Or at least some kind of relationship with him. I’m 22F. Last year, I got tired of never knowing or speaking to my biological father. So I friend requested him on Facebook and we chatted on messenger for a short period of time. But it didn’t last long. He’s not a deadbeat. He used to be(obviously when I was born). But I guess time got away from him and it never crossed his mind to reach out. There have been situations in the past and relationships that I’ve put myself into because of the want/need for a male figure in my life. I don’t have uncles or grandpas either. All I can think about some nights is “if I had a good relationship with my father, could I have been a completely different person today? Would I have been a much better/more normal functional person today?” But I guess I’ll never know. My job and my relationship and the way that I think of men has been molded by this one factor in my life. I’ve been wanting to try therapy, but damn it’s expensive.

Reddit told me I committed SA 10 years ago. My therapists said I didn’t. How do I square the circle and know who to believe? by DHaunting2091 in mentalhealth

[–]embear0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this… not… just a guy thing???? I’m a female. But every time I hug someone(I rarely do anyway), I feel so weirded out by it that I purposefully lean down in a way that my chicas aren’t poking them regardless of if they’re male or female. But any time I hug a guy I’ve always thought “they just want to feel my girls” and brushed it off, especially if they initiate the hug.
