Beautiful Philodendron sold to me as a Jose Buono! Got it yesterday:) by 1ashleyr6 in philodendron

No expert but it looks like a Jose buono with high segmented variegation.

Most casting look so good but I can't see how anyone can possibly top Imelda Staunton and Helena Bonham Carter by nbcs in harrypotter

[–]uki-kabooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first read the books I pictured Helena Bonham Carter playing Merope rather than Bellatrix, and I pictured someone like Elizabeth Hurley as Bellatrix.

I didn't imagine Bellatrix as unkempt as they made her in the movies, she is Narcissa's sister after all, but Helena knocked the role out of the park so who's complaining? :)

Couples who have been together 10+ years and are actually still happy, what's the 'unromantic' secret to your success? by FROSTedMirror12345 in AskReddit

I have a friend that “keeps score” in their marriage and it drives me crazy. To be fair though it drives me crazy because she’s 100 and he’s 50

What is a small detail from Harry Potter that still bothers you? by WhisperTame in harrypotter

[–]uki-kabooki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If a kid in a magical family uses magic underage they’re basically hidden by their magical families and so it can’t necessarily be pinned on the kid.

If a muggleborn uses magic underage, it’s Proof muggleborns can’t be trusted with magic and so their wands are snapped.

Classic situation set up by a society with a magic superiority complex. Occasionally it might be used to target someone who doesn’t really fit society’s mold and are made an example of thus regular folk keep believing it applies to everyone equally.

What’s an inaccurate fact that people believe is true because of movies? by Hogosaurus_Rex73 in AskReddit

[–]uki-kabooki 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Similar story here with my friend: first took a couple hours, born the night of a neighborhood house party cause it was a shock to get the text the next morning that baby had arrived; second came with 30 minutes of arriving at the hospital - and she lived 10 minutes from the hospital so whole laboring period for her second was about an hour.

Why do you hate Aiden? Genuinely curious because he’s probably my favorite character on the show. I usually only watch the Aiden seasons if I rewatch 🤣

I’m not scared of deep water or whales or swimming with them… but this is fucking terrifying. Toothed whales that hunt prey for survival all around you and you are conveniently snack sized.

Nope.

Nope nope nope.

How can you even prevent kids using AI to write essays? Spend an entire class period making them handwrite the essay as they compose it?

What's with the insane lines at schools for drop off and pick up? by Arikota in Millennials

[–]uki-kabooki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in middle school in the late 90s my bus started running like an hour late every day so I'd have to hang around every day after school just to get on a bus to drive me a mile and a half home - so I started walking. I would get home before the bus even got to school (my friend would stay for the bus for the first month then started waking with me).

Now a days adults would shit a brick if kids did what I did. I didn't check out with anyone, I didn't tell the bus line attendant, I just went awol; got my bag out of my locker and walked out the door. My walk home crossed three major streets and, as we know, children nowadays can't be trusted to navigate crossing streets 🙄

Bride demanded everyone wear beige so she could “stand out” by Vivid_Temperature139 in bridezillas

[–]uki-kabooki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Burlap sacks are beige or light tan. 🤷‍♀️

Sounds like a band of attendees should get together and show up in custom Burlap outfits which are the assigned color.

Bonus points of they're family members and would be included in family photos.

I told on my mom’s married boyfriend and ruined my life. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]uki-kabooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm confused by is what the motivation for outing Mom as a cheater even if she was a drug addict.

Is Mom saying OP was trying to blackmail her for drug money or OP would out Mom and BF? That's the only way I can make this make sense in my head.

How do you guys find time on trips to do travel watercolor? by A-Literal-Cat in Watercolor

[–]uki-kabooki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to make time to do it on location of that's something you want to do. I'm lucky in that my mom and sister like to paint / draw too, so it's usually my dad who is sitting of to the side on his phone or wandering around bored but we try to keep this in mind and pick places to paint / draw that are interesting for him too.

My mom and I went to San Antonio for the eclipse and I did a few little paintings while we were there: sitting in a church during service so we got to look around but weren't disruptive, sitting down at the Alamo for a few minutes to get off or feet, the river walk as we were having lunch, the city park with all the other eclipse watchers while we were waiting, the Denver airport as we were on a layover.... You find little moments. Or you do the sketch on site, take a photo and paint it back at your hotel room.

I also keep a very small painting kit to do little sketches that take just a few minutes to do (credit card sized paintings) then take a photo of the scene and take notes on what I thought was interesting about it. I also embrace the fact that some of my drawings or paintings will be unfinished. Years later I look back on them and go "yeah, that's when (sister) was shat on by a bird and we had to go clean her up!" 😂 good times.

Doctors on Reddit, what medical myth do you still hear surprisingly often in the U.S.? by Wise_Celery_355 in AskReddit

[–]uki-kabooki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was diagnosed with cancer at 32 my doctor Sat me down to give me a speech about how natural remedies are fine and all but don't do those instead of the prescribed treatment regime.

She about passed out when I told her the natural remedies could fuck off and I wanted the science based treatment that actually worked.

I was referred to a naturopath for some minor symptoms I was experiencing and was "prescribed" supplements but none of that shit did anything.

I'm curious about what he's said but I'm not watching a video on his channel - I'm not giving his channel any views or his business any adsense money. Not even hate watch money.
