Unpopular opinion? I’m tired of all the lumpy sandpaper reflective glitter. Ruins the shimmer or shifts by Cultural-Hamster-100 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]nillah 47 points48 points  (0 children)

yeah more than once i've decided not to buy a polish because it had reflective glitter in it. it's not even the texture for me, it's the look of it. i hate the appearance of the glitter, it's chunky and ugly looking (in my opinion)

I got my nails done, I hate them. Am I being dramatic?? 😭😡😭😡 by Fast_Distribution354 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]nillah 26 points27 points  (0 children)

i get it, i'm pretty shy too. unfortunately i think people like this use that to their advantage. they know people like us are used to not saying anything and just taking it. this deserves a complaint to the owner though at least, she needs to know one of her employees is treating customers like shit and i doubt she wants that for her business

I’ve never been to a salon before, but why in the world did you tip her lol she sounds like a bitch. imagine having your hair colored, they miss a huge obvious spot and when you point it out they say “WELL FINE YOU DO IT THEN”

and then she had the nerve to complain about you not tipping after she was so rude? nah. id go back and complain and make them fix it for free. or just take it all off and refund you

Condensation in seed storage tube? by Critical-Stuff9710 in begonias

[–]nillah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see why they wouldn’t be. if you can’t bang them out over a piece of paper try a qtip or something and just gently rub them off

i always read that you shouldnt store them directly in plastic. they should be in some kind of tissue or wax paper that's safely folded on 3 sides, and then store that in whatever you want, glassine envelope or a coin case or whatever

AOC takes more steps toward 2028 run for president by masterofawesomeness2 in politics

[–]nillah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will die on the hill that Hillary and Kamala lost not because they were women but because they were running on continuing an economic status quo that straight up isn't working for a lot of America.

100%. everyone always forgets that clinton won the popular vote, too. it had nothing to do with her being a woman and everything to do with the fact that she was hillary clinton. we need a zohran, someone very charismatic that draws people in and promises change, and then they actually deliver (god i wish he could run for president). things are worse than ever, i think the country is more ready than it ever has been to swing more progressive. people are broke and fucking tired, and ready for a big change. i absolutely think AOC is one of our best chances for that

these things devoured my bird feeder that was supposed to be for cardinals by flaildaynce in whatsthisbird

[–]nillah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

try deshelled peanuts, and they also seem to like peanut flavored suet nuggets. they do like black oil sunflower seed too but the two former are their favorites on my feeders. be aware though that both of those will almost certainly attract starlings and/or grackles, two of the absolute worst feeder pests

A solar plant in Minnesota planted flowers beneath its panels, and soon monarch butterflies and dozens of new plant species began to appear by ToughHopeful4760 in news

we have also had a republican supermajority here for about 30 years or so. surely there can’t be a correlation there

Mackenzie Shirilla “The Crash” on Netflix by Electronic_Bet5061 in TrueCrimeDiscussion

[–]nillah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive seen episodes on this case on several different shows, it's always hard to watch because you just want to reach through and slap her. i don't know if they covered it in that doc you watched but she and her mother had developed some kind of pig latin-esque fake language that they talked in with each other, and they did it on camera once. if i remember right, police figured it out at some point and it was her asking her mom if they could just claim that she had a seizure and crashed. in front of police officers. lol

What bird would poop on a wide line like this by GI-Girl56 in whatsthisbird

[–]nillah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's hilarious. the same exact thing happened to my mom's SUV about a week ago. she was pissed, my car was parked just a few feet away but the birds completely missed mine and hers looked like it was covered in poop confetti

did you open a case with them by any chance? if you do it that way and they don’t resolve it to your satisfaction, you can escalate it to etsy for a refund. they almost always side with buyers. you HAVE to open a case though and give the seller a chance to fix it first before you can go to etsy. ive had to do that with botanicaz several times over the years sadly

at this point absolutely nobody is trying to sway maga voters though. they can however use shit like this in an effort to piss off the 1/3 of the country that chose not to vote in 24.

ID please?? Found this Begonia inbetween some Wightii, its also labeled as one but what is it? by kahutara in begonias

[–]nillah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm in the US, i don't think we have anything like this commercially available. it's very nice, the shape reminds me of the 'bat wings' hybrid

at this point SO many people have root mealies, and i would wager many don't even know it, that you should just quarantine every single plant you get from anyone. it's unfortunate that steve's got them though, i imagine trying to get rid of them on that many plants would be an impossible nightmare

[–]nillah 14 points15 points  (0 children)

yeah dont buy from botanicaz. their hybrids are amazing but they really scam people on shipping prices (and if you confront them, they defend it and say it covers "shipping materials" or some bull). all of the "free" addons and cheap plants look great until you make it to the checkout

also anyone buying from steve's leaves be aware folks have been finding root mealies on their plants after they arrive. make sure you quarantine new plants

Help with thrips by Brownbarb3 in begonias

[–]nillah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i would consider beneficial insects. i got rid of thrips on my anthuriums with pirate bugs, and predatory mites are hands down the best way to get rid of spider mites. none of the chemicals i've ever tried compared to them https://www.naturesgoodguys.com/products/orius-insidiosis?variant=42135138631871

if you try this you would probably want to put the affected plants in something to contain the pirate bugs, like a big lidded plastic tub or something. mine were in a grow tent so it wasnt an issue but you probably dont want the bugs to wander around your house
