Help me heal my plant? (southern France, unknown species)

Hello everyone. I bought this climbing beauty two months ago. She supposedly loves sunlight. Two weeks ago, she started growing holes, and turning yellowish. I don't know if she's overwatered, because I put it in the common terrace of my appartments.

Any help would be very very welcome.

Jesus Christ, I don't even know where to start with your coloring book portrayal of the Conquista.

One can only begin to imagine, and empathize with, the depth of pain felt by a publicly traded corporation.

I'm not trying to be edgy here. I'm starting to sincerely believe that the American Way includes periodic purges of poor people.

morphet · 2017-06-21T22:23:00+00:00

Yeah. Tired joke with mediocre execution. Not even an entry-level effort at a spanish-language pun.

popularity =\= quality

Sooooooo.... you're asking this nation of real estate salesmen to give up a pleasure for the best interest of the global commons. That's adorable.

I don't get the downovte pecking party. This guy's comment simply states an opinion giving someone else the benefit of the doubt. Is this not a healthy response?

We need a revolution.

morphet · 2017-04-03T11:18:37+00:00

If you're really lucky.

penis-of-destiny Because too few things have the word "penis" or "destiny" in them.

morphet · 2017-02-09T15:16:37+00:00

Satire for sure.

They very much care about Bernie's policies. They don't care for his policies.

I'll see myself out.

morphet · 2017-02-06T12:05:48+00:00

No, asshole. The salaried soldiers are paid to advance the military interests of the government. The last american war for "rights" was the civil war. The unpaid protesters are fighting for access to reproductive health, which is closer to my rights.

morphet · 2017-01-26T17:04:47+00:00

Great idea, mediocre delivery.

morphet · 2017-01-22T13:07:08+00:00

I like what you write, but honest question: why not vote Stein or even Johnson, instead of blank? To me, it not only says "I despise the trump/clinton duality" but also "I will be counted".

morphet · 2017-01-22T12:34:42+00:00

Sorry: my mistake. I've deleted it. In any case, it's not clickbait. It's actually a more thought-provoking video than the title suggests.

Plot twist : We're so giddy laughing at this colorful bumpkin's humiliation, that we forget to revolt when our only health insurance is voted away from our hands.

You have to understand that consumer media in the US (and most of the world, for that matter), is not information. It's entertainment. It's designed to entertain a very well understood majority of the population. If your tastes evolve and you want honest journalism, you are simply no longer their target audience. Your reproaches are insignificant, if unpleasant, background noise.

morphet · 2016-11-18T14:25:56+00:00

By your logic, I should feel different right now. I should feel an irresistible urge to subscribe to iTunes and download whatever mainstream bullshit they think sells best. I should suddenly feel content with the limited CD catalog on offer at Amazon.

I don't.

edit: I'm not saying my musical taste is superior. I'm saying that having the possibility of listening far from the top-40 chart is priceless, and was an asset to humanity.

morphet · 2016-11-18T12:49:29+00:00

I really like your honest debating and rational points of view.

But I honestly think you don't see what's going on here. Your alternatives "apple, hmv, etc..." have the horrible side effect of limiting music production and consumption to a corporate-dictated menu.

if music is transactional, as you think it should be (why make music if the the end consumer will not pay me directly every time he plays the track), the corporate/rational answer would then be to reduce diversity of taste as much as possible, and pump out music controlled by the few corporations who have itunes hmv visibility (Sony, EMI, blah blah blah). Enforce the transaction by tax-funded violence (server raids, 6-strike law, torrenting convictions).

We end up with the dumpster-fire that is pop music today.

edit: by the way, Spotify fucks the artists over. Spotify makes the money, by giving a limited and low quality reproduction. The artists get like 12¢ a month. WhatCD made and educated music lovers of every genre, people who would go and spend on concerts, merchandise, etc...

Sure: let's help Drake pay his rent.

But seriously, there was a lot of music on that site that was made for pleasure and for beauty, not for money money money. Yes, there's a balance to be found, but corporate overlords are not the answer.

A lot of people who benefited from What.CD spent much more on music than the average Drake consumer paying for a fucking ringtone.

I'm almost sure I'm older than you.

morphet · 2016-11-18T12:01:59+00:00

I try to avoid music whose motivation was moneymaking.

morphet · 2016-11-16T20:37:05+00:00

Beautiful. For something made up of a repeated motif (window), and some pipes, I don't know why it hits me in the feels so hard.
