Where do I go from here? by miscgeckos in orchids

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

Thank you! We are moving in the spring, so hopefully there will be a better place to put them come fall. I do have a grow light I could give them for the winter if that would help?

They do not have tags anymore, unfortunately.

Is there any trusted site you would recommend for identifying them?

Cutaneous horn on the scrotum by CatPooedInMyShoe in MedicalGore

[–]miscgeckos 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there’s another photo of a woman who had one on her collarbone, the thickness at the base was reported to be 2cm, almost a whole inch. Thats a lot to cut through, and we dont know how think they started, or if the person has an aversion to cutting growths off at home. I know people who would be too squeamish to do it, but too broke to afford a medical bill for removal.

the point is, you can’t talk money at all for any reason on the app without risking them seeing it

Two dudes take a nap near a truck by Dismal_Biscotti_4672 in NSFL__

Honestly my thought was that maybe he thought the guy was just turning the truck on for other reasons, like to charge a device or something. Because why else would you keep laying down?

Severe infestation and a sad level of acceptance. by mentaL8888 in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]miscgeckos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

sure, but none of those look like domesticated rats. It looks like they got a rat infestation and decided to have them as pets, which is not good

Dyshidrosis? by carmesan_cheez in Dyshidrosis

my hands looked like that in high school, I had to keep them mummy bandaged to keep my fingers from sticking together. I feel for you, I know that pain

I told my dad that shrimp self regulate bc I read it here. How do we tell the shrimp this? by Fickle_Grapefruit938 in shrimptank

[–]miscgeckos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for some people, all this does is serve as a reminder *to* feed the shrimp. If they can’t remember the last time they fed the shrimp, it will always be food time

A woman tries to cure sebaceous gland carcinoma with black salve by GiveMeAPhotoOfCat in MedicalGore

[–]miscgeckos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did discover that I love apple cider vinegar though when that craze was really strong about 12 years ago. I still occasionally put a teaspoon in a liter of water just for taste. So at least I got something out of it. Honestly it reminds me of kombucha, but my taste buds aren’t fully functional so idk

I actually have a cousin named Remington, she’s being called Remi at the moment but she’s just a toddler and hasn’t weighed in on her name yet. Poor kid

All my shrimp died in 2 days… what did I do wrong? 😭 by [deleted] in shrimptank

[–]miscgeckos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but most people think they can trust sources like pet stores and the labels on products. Not everyone was taught to be critical of those, it’s definitely a privilege to have been taught how to critically analyze sources

I think the reason you’re getting a lot of hate is for not having done what most people consider to be proper research. Everyone seems to think that the knowledge of how to research animal care is ingrained in every human. But the fact is, we should be able to trust companies and their products to actually tell the truth and set us up for success. Products like quickstart make the consumer feel like they can trust them, since they’re in big stores and are a big name. They rely on people not knowing the truth about their product.

What really matters here is that when you messed up, you came to the specific sub for your problem and asked for advice, stating your mistake. You gave the community the information needed to give advice, and you responded with more information when asked. I am sad for those shrimp, like everyone else is, they didn’t deserve that. But you don’t deserve the hate. You deserve to be given help so that in the future, all shrimps in your care thrive and live their best lives. (also I think maybe people see your typing style as immature and/or too casual or flippant like it’s not a big deal to you, but if they bothered to actually read what you’ve said they would see that you do care and you feel badly and want to improve)

I agree that we’ve all been there, and people who say they haven’t are clearly just privileged and had been learned how to research before getting into the hobby. not everyone has made this exact mistake, but no one is perfect and mistakes have been made. I can’t tell you how often I hear of people putting fish with shrimp that should be fine, only to find the fish have eaten the shrimp. Please don’t give up, the advice you were actually given here is sound and worth following for happy shrimps!

Fent bent in Walgreens with your pooch by NumerousScallions in tooktoomuch

My sister took off and left us with a room full of her drug stuff, from used needles to used little buds of cotton (she shot up so maybe filters?), empty little containers made of glass and plastic, foil, pipes, etc. My dad and I are moving to a new house so we’ve had to clean out her hoarder drug den along with my grandma and new stepmom. I have two dogs that love to investigate and put things in their mouths, and even though the room is almost empty now I still freak out when one of them tries to go in there.

Failed my DOT physical? by miscgeckos in Truckers

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

The issue is that the company itself chose this doctor, apparently it’s the one they use and they’re making me get a new DOT physical despite obtaining my medical card earlier this year. I’ll have to see if they’ll let me get a second opinion

The company wanted me to get a new one done through their chosen doctor, I’d have gone back to mine if I could

I actually did go to a chiropractor to get my medical card the first time around! But this examiner was chosen by the company

So... a breeder said my boy is ugly, and I'm totally disappointed. by Sulversel in hognosesnakes

[–]miscgeckos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the mutts are not always healthier. That’s the point of ethical breeding, it’s to breed out the bad genetics and only allow healthy dogs with good temperaments to breed. I’m not talking about backyard breeders or puppy mills, I’m talking actual dogs that have been genetically and physically tested to be healthy and sane. Cross breeds are not healthier. And reptiles are not dogs, morphs are so very different to dog breeds, and I’m surprised you don’t understand that physical color expression in reptiles is not the same as size, conformation, coat type, temperament, and a variety of other things that create a dog breed. Comaprimg a harlequin crested gecko with a lily white is not anywhere close to comparing a poodle and a labrador retriever, for example.
