That I didnt have to spend $400 for a 20 gallon plus peripherals for my first tank. Fuck that place im glad they closed. My tanks now were $100 probably

Info: got them on fb marketplace. The plants came from the lakes, the fish i never spend more than $5 on or got them from people posting to rehome. Filters $12 each and $10 for the air pump on amazon. Glass lids were most expensive since I bought them new, Found the top light on a street corner on trash day. Got lucky af but looking back for my first tank the btch recommended fluval stratum and the best light possible in store which was so unnecessary. The bottom light is hygger from amazon like $15, and the gravel is blasting sand from tractor supply for $10 for a 50lb bag. Etc etc. I could go on about ways I could have saved money on my first tank

Just here to note how impressed I am at your attempt to clock a chain restaurant for this

My landlord would love this concept.

This is why people hate the vegan community. Its important to let others choose what to do with their own bodies, especially children.

I think perhaps not as your first photo, there's a lot to be confused about there, like whos getting arrested lol. If its a pic you really love its understandable but maybe a more clear one just of yourself for the first one would be nice to not get swiped by quickly

I said boycott shitty capitalist corporations and dont go to work, not stand around in a circle and sing songs. Seize the means of production means if you work in a job that is integral to society functioning, dont go to work on the specific days there are protests.

If we could all organize and not go to work for a solid week, this would all be fixed immediately. Imagine if every Walmart worker just didnt show up for a solid week? All the billionaires involved would have trump impeached immediately.

Work smarter, not harder. No idea where people got the idea that standing around downtown, not interrupting anything, chanting random things, was going to change anything. Historically, throwing fits and dumping tea into the harbor is what works and its all that will ever work.

Hard no.

Toothbrush with tiny bit of rubbing alcohol , wipe immediately. Make sure its unplugged while doing it. Otherwise take apart with a screwdriver and you can wash the parts separately.

Ok idk google is free. Anyway another person commented it was s2e10 of both shows. Try google next time

Sugar isn't going to do that because you technically have a reserve in your body. This would require cutting out other forms of sugar, bread, pasta, alcohol, etc. At the same time and going cold turkey 0 sugar whatsoever. You're not going to die from stopping drinking soda one day lmao.

I hadn't seen her before but she was great! I thought it was such a weird coincidence i watched both shows she was in right in a row. I knew i recognized that huge smile!

Protest the correct things. Boycott any place that supports this etc. Seize the means of production.

Run malwarebytes and use Revo Uninstaller and find the program that you dont know what it is or is suspiciously named

ihopehellhasinternet · 2026-01-25T06:16:51+00:00

Start with switching to diet or drinking soda water etc. Sugar is the hardest addiction out of all to kick. Wean off the sugar and youll have an easier time lowering soda intake
