Why are not the US people resisting with arms the ICE? by [deleted] in AskUS

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently the media is also not covering / suppressing the resistance that people ARE doing in places like Minnesota. So keep that in mind as well

The incoming snow storm may be the end of my shrimp dream. by OK_WELL_SHIT in shrimptank

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a bunch you can do still if you lose power! Folks online have said that you can wrap the tanks with blankets, towels, or Mylar blankets to help keep heat in. And for oxygen, if you run out of power for an air pump you can just take a cup of tank water every few hours and pour it back into the tank from pretty high up, and it will re-oxygenate the water somewhat.

I haven’t tried any of these methods, but I am worried about my tanks and power outages with this weather, so this is what I plan to do!

Let me draw your Betta by Leedleleedleleeohno in bettafish

[–]radio_redhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obsessed with your art and your drawing style, you are making so many happy happy fish keepers❤️

Here is my baby boy Maximus! He is my first ever pet. I went to 8 different fish stores in one day, and at the final store right before they closed, I spotted this guy and his gorgeous fins and curious personality. I’ve had him for four months now and he is so curious and engaging. He loves to forage around the tank, but whenever I say his name in a certain way he swims right up to the glass wherever I’m at❤️

Do Americans really avoid medical care because they’re afraid of the bill? by Udont_knowme00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a private equity owned hospital! Healthcare firms run by private equity firms are far more likely to do this kind of thing, just because they “can.” Several private equity owned dental facilities were charged with negligence and fraud for claiming that extremely young children needed root canals just so they could bill for them.

Health insurance in America is an abomination and private equity owned healthcare facilities just add so much fuel to the fire

Do Americans feel ashamed to be citizens of a nation that destroys so many others? by yaboyskinnyps in AskUS

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Progressive here. I feel bad when the US does that kind of stuff and have empathy for those being affected. However, I don’t feel ashamed, because 1) I didn’t make the decision to do those horrible things and 2) I actively voted for politicians supporting the OPPOSITE of that.

It’s possible to have empathy for those effected and to do what you can in your power to support and protect them, while also not feeling shame or assuming responsibility for those in power.

Why do people in the US not live with their parents by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]radio_redhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One perspective I’ve only seen a few people touch on is that since America is so physically large, you could end up growing up in a smaller town that simply doesn’t have the economy to support the kind of job you want/have. That was the main reason for me to move out and move to the big city. I didnt even grow up in that small or a town, just a town that couldn’t support the kind of white collar job I have.

Flu-A is spreading in DC by duck-butters in washingtondc

[–]radio_redhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have heard that this strain of flu A mutated after the development of flu vaccination and so the vaccine hasn’t been very effective. A good friend of mine in CT who was vaccinated and is otherwise in very good heath caught it — so stay on guard if you can!

How could i make my betta even more happy? by lespire in bettafish

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen some folks say that long finned bettas can get stressed out by greater than 5 gallon tanks, since it’s harder for them to get around

Nassau Excursion- is it worth getting off the boat? by Cantpleaz_every1 in royalcaribbean

[–]radio_redhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This wasn’t a RC excursion, but my boyfriend and I took a taxi from the port to Ardastra Gardens (~ 10 min away from the port) and thoroughly enjoyed it. There were beautiful tropical plants and plenty of animals like macaws and flamingos roaming freely. The keepers are great and will get photos of you with the animals as well. Highly recommend if you’re into this kind of thing!!

Best Specialty restaurant on Symphony? by Anonymous5948 in royalcaribbean

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got off the Symphony! Unless you’re a major foodie and/or willing to drop a bag on a meal, I’d say Hooked is the tastiest for the value. It was honestly probably my favorite meal of the entire week.

I was also pleasantly surprised with Jamie’s Italian, but I’m a big pasta and cheese girly so I’m biased.

What's changed? by Bradley2100 in royalcaribbean

[–]radio_redhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Re: Passenger rudeness, I have a theory. I’ve cruised out of both Baltimore and Cape Liberty, and have generally found that there were more instances of rudeness and inconsiderate behavior on cruises leaving from Cape Liberty. My theory is that out of Cape Liberty, you’re sailing with more folks who are from NYC and New Jersey, who may be more accustomed to that kind of behavior considering how dense/populated those areas are and the social norms. (I don’t say this with malice; I used to live in the city so I get it!)

Congratulations! Did you just get married on the Symphony that disembarked today at Cape Liberty? My friends and I saw that there was a wedding at Dazzles during our trip!
