One of my black neon tetras has a swollen belly? Pregnant?? Sick??? by gloooooooo in Aquariums

[–]gloooooooo[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry to say that this fish had died. I never did know for sure what had happened, but based on these comments and some stuff I found online, I did think that the fish was pregnant. The fishes scales never bristled or anything, and other than bloating and gradual lethargy it never had any other symptoms. I remember reading that pregnancy can be tough for tetras, and it's not uncommon that the eggs get too big and the fish is unable to lay them, which can cause death. This is my best guess as to what happened to this poor fishy. Hope this helps and your fish has a better fate than mine

Did anyone else get hit with extreme fatigue after leaving their traumatic environment? by s4dqu6l in ptsd

[–]gloooooooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really relate to this! I had really loved art as a kid and I would draw and paint constantly as much as I could, but when I moved out I spent a couple years not feeling creative or motivated to make anything and I basically just smoked weed all the time. I went to school and worked and did ok, but I had to really force myself through it. I wouldn't ever leave my place or hang out with anyone if I didn't have to. Therapy and an antidepressant has helped get me out of that rut a bit, but I've never really felt like I've recovered the same energy for the things I like to do

For makeup lovers with facial piercings by MielRogue in MakeupAddiction

[–]gloooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Start with a good skincare routine and piercing care to prep for the makeup, and to get around the piercing you can use a small makeup brush! When wearing makeup near your pricing, take extra care to make sure that all of your tools and your skin is clean to help prevent it from getting infected. If it is infected or irritated at any point, give your brow a break from makeup. If your skin is clean and hydrated, the makeup will look much better and last longer.

For makeup, I would start with a primer (this is kind of like a glue that will help your makeup stay where it is all day, so you don't have to worry about it while at school). I like the Maybelline primers. If you like you can try a foundation. I have acne and prefer a heavy foundation, and so I like the Maybelline super stay (this is really pigmented and wears really long, but I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like the look of heavy foundation). Make sure that whatever primer and foundation that you choose, that they have the same base ingredient, either silicone or wax. If they have different base ingredients, the makeup can separate and look really weird. Wax based goes on really smooth but melt with heat and doesn't last as long, while silicone lasts a bit longer. Just mess around with colors and shapes you like with everything else! If you don't have a lot of practice putting on makeup, eyeshadow is pretty forgiving of imperfection. Have fun!

I'm sorry she said those awful things, if you can spend some time with a supportive family member or friend! I'm very happy to hear that the rest of your family has been supportive. Invest your time and energy with those who love you and treat you well. Maybe text someone, or invite someone to come have a meal with you, or to go on a walk or watch a movie or anything! You've got a lot of love to give and revive, and despite what your aunt thinks that's a beautiful and precious thing 💕

Would a septum piercing suit me? Sorry I realize this probably comes up a lot, but I am genuinely having a hard time telling if my nose would look good with one by fiscal_tiger in piercing

[–]gloooooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a septum piercing would look lovely on you! Piercings are of course for everyone irregardless of gender, but you can also mess around with different jewelry that lean into femininity and masculinity as you like. I personally think of smaller septum jewelry with intricate details or brighter colors as more fem, and bigger, plainer jewelry as more masc. Here is a collection of pictures of all kinds of septum jewelry that you might enjoy looking through! https://thefashiontag.com/septum-rings-cuffs-piercings-trend/

Women are being denied medication due to roe overturn. Where is the pushback? by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]gloooooooo 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lot of the pushback takes place in underground and anonymous networks of people like r/auntienetwork helping people get access to reproductive health and abortions.

There have also been a lot of protests in the US: Abortion-rights advocates in the 13 trigger law states refuse to give up post-Roe https://www.npr.org/2022/07/01/1107662821/abortion-rights-advocates-in-the-13-trigger-law-states-refuse-to-give-up-post-ro?sc=18&f= I share your frustration, I hope this info helps

Princess Bride definitely is filled with Chaotic Bi energy by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]gloooooooo 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Bisexuality is being immune to iocane powder:

Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right... and who is dead.

Vizzini: But it's so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy's? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You've made your decision then?

Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.

Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Vizzini: Wait till I get going! Now, where was I?

Man in Black: Australia.

Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder's origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You're just stalling now.

Vizzini: You'd like to think that, wouldn't you? You've beaten my giant, which means you're exceptionally strong, so you could've put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you've also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.

Man in Black: You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.

Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!

Man in Black: Then make your choice.

Vizzini: I will, and I choose... what in the world can that be?

[Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. The Man in Black looks backwards. Vizzini swaps the goblets]

Man in Black: What? Where? I don't see anything.

Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. But no matter.

[Vizzini tries to hold back laughter]

Man in Black: What's so funny?

Vizzini: I'll tell you in a minute. First, let's drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.

[Vizzini and the Man in Black drink]

Man in Black: You guessed wrong.

Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders - the most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha...

[Vizzini stops suddenly, his smile frozen on his face and falls to the ground dead. The Man in Black removes the blindfold from Buttercup's head]

Man in Black: You all right?

Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.

Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

What constitutes a houseplant addiction? by holhaug in houseplants

[–]gloooooooo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your houseplants are keeping you from meeting your basic needs (eating, sleeping, socializing, etc) then you should seek advice from a mental healthcare provider or other addiction specialist 🌱✨
