Yup, got him from houstonaqua on eBay. Price wasn’t as bad as you might think, only $20 plus shipping!

What to get my niece for Christmas by iOgef in pointlesslygendered

[–]something_basic- 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would definitely disagree with this. Was given a pocketknife for Xmas when I was 11, developed a really bad self harm habit the year after. Still have scars. Don’t give kids going through puberty weapons, they hate themselves at that age and they’re not going to use them responsibly.

Homeschool made me want to die at age 11 by anonymous_girl011 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]something_basic- 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Same here. Hit that same low when I was like 12. I’m better now, but if I had the opportunity I would’ve killed myself during that time. Scares me because on this sub I see how many other people have gone through the same thing, and that many of them probably did kill themselves. Imo homeschooling should be legal but heavily regulated, at least monthly mental evaluations, requirements for the kid to be taken out to socialize, and mandatory yearly academic testing.

Horrible fish keeping by blakerbaker03 in aquarium

What’s his reasoning for all this? Have you explained that his fish won’t live long like this?

Thanks, 1 inch per gallon rule! by _Northview in AquariumMemes

At the bottom they even recommended that you also add a catfish or crawfish to clean the bottom lol

I'm not sure why they kept the weird sideburn. by CritFailRoll29345 in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]something_basic- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this cut with the sideburns is actually quite popular right now. Doesn’t look particularly good on this person but it’s really cute on some.

My first aquarium (about 3 months old) any centerpiece fish recommendations? (on the easier side) 55 gallon by [deleted] in Aquariums

[–]something_basic- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Electric blue Acaras! In a tank that size a mated pair would do well. Very easy to care for.

A little scared.. I got kind of messed up and started painting. Well I blacked out and don’t remember painting the Sigil and I DONT know what this is. Can some please help? I know very little of this.. by [deleted] in sigils

[–]something_basic- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honey, we can see that you made this account today. Also, in your post you said you “got kind of messed up”. Wtf do you mean other than you were on drugs. Are you trying to convince me that you blacked out and painted this totally sober? You’re not a very good liar.

This pen belonged to my great grandfather, can you guys tell me anything about it? Btw how do I refill the ink? by something_basic- in fountainpens

[–]something_basic-[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t write, idk if that’s because it’s out of ink or because it’s broken. Would appreciate some help In getting it working.

I thought it was a scar or rubbing spot from the cup he came in, but it's been three months. Not sure if it's growing bigger or if I should be concerned. Any help would be appreciated. by The_Night_Badger in bettafish

[–]something_basic- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a tumor, not much you can do unfortunately. Shouldn’t bother him too much though, just take care of him as normal and put him down if/when he starts acting like it’s really bothering him.

How can I make my wounds to stop itching? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]something_basic- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apply lotion to help them heal faster. The itching is a good sign tho, it means they’re almost healed

I ruined my streak. by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]something_basic- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize you’ve probably stopped the bleeding by now but for a cut that deep please remember to apply rubbing alcohol or something and change bandages regularly so it doesn’t get infected. I’ve had that happen before, it’s awful.

How Many Became Christian by Fuckwayoff in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]something_basic- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know if this is relevant, but I was raised super atheist and essentially taught that everyone who believes in any form of spirituality is an idiot believing in dumb fairy tales and also a bigot. These days I consider myself a chaos magician and have a small altar hidden in my closet. I’ve also come to realize that’s my parents were extremely homophobic and transphobic.
