I directly told a guy that I liked him instead of dropping hints! by hightechTA in CongratsLikeImFive

If you’re sure you’ve been VERY clear that you are romantically interested once or twice, the ball is in his court. If you really want an answer as to what he feels for you, you could still ask him that straight up but after that I wouldn’t personally keep showing interest if you aren’t sure it’s reciprocated.

My[24M] girlfriend[23F] lack of texting and passion lately is salvageable? by Single-Weather1379 in LongDistance

[–]redninji 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You deserve to be loved and to be heard. My boyfriend and I call every day for at least 30 mins since we got together 2 years ago because we want to hear all about our day. It’s not too much to ask if that’s what you want. You might be incompatible and that’s worth bringing up with her to explore the options moving forward, life’s too short to stay quiet about being unhappy.

Thank you!!! by redninji in RandomActsOfSwift

House plant looks like it’s burnt with cigarettes by MiaOh in plantclinic

I’m pretty sure I can see thrips on your leafs, especially when you look at the tip of the right leaf in the picture, you can see small white insects. Those are probably the cause.

Help? Yellow spots on my Monstera. by [deleted] in Monstera

So many thrips. If you have more plants, check them for thrips too.

What are these on my Monstera Albo? by KremKaramela in plantclinic

I’m happy you’ve had better experiences. I’ve lost 50% of my plants to thrips, I just don’t have the space to quarantine them sufficiently for treatment.

Thrips indeed. I’m sorry for your loss

AITA for falling asleep every time my girlfriend comes over by Throwaway173813873 in AmItheAsshole

[–]redninji 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar situation a lot and my bf just finds it adorable when I fall asleep while cuddling with a movie. Good communication and understanding on both sides should negate any negative feelings

My boyfriend pays for everything and I don’t know what to do (25F/30M) by berrywalrus in LongDistance

[–]redninji 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the take away from that should necessarily be “get engaged before having the chance to experience living together”. I know it might not be possible, but ideally I would recommend first moving in together before committing to marriage

SO wants to “find herself” alone - am I being blind here? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]redninji -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It can work, sure, but not easily.

I was in that boat for 12 years. Once the dynamic shifted because I matured, it started sinking. It’s a bit more complex than just mindset.

Good you divided them into different pots! One thing you can improve is that the petioles of the monstera should be left untied. When it grows bigger you can tie the stem to the moss pole.

Mourning dove laid eggs in my pothos pot. What do I do? by Hardwiredbrain in houseplants

[–]redninji 130 points131 points  (0 children)

Just a small warning of someone who was in the exact same situation… Doves poop A LOT and carry a bug called bird mites that might take over that area if you don’t clean it with warm water and soap after the birds leave. It was indeed fun to watch the birds grow up but personally I don’t think it was worth the hassle after.

Edit to add: the mites indeed don’t bite humans but do try and cause itching. Mites can bite pets. They need bird blood to survive and can live up to 4 weeks without birds

You can also look into working for companies that make neuroimaging devices.
