what advice was great when you first heard it, but has aged like milk since then? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] Araithya@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, the latter is how it was explained to me. Like, literally break up with the person you love to see if they’ll fight for you to take them back. Or push them away and wait a few years to see if they magically reenter your life or something. Crazy, I think some people believe they live in a hallmark movie

“If you love something set it free, if it comes back it’s meant to be.” Nearly cost me the best relationship of my life because I was a dumb, impressionable kid that believed in wise sounding words. If you love something, hold on to it. Work for it. Don’t let it go just to “see if it comes back”.

Same could probably be said for just about any seemingly wise sounding sayings.

I’ve read the Mistborn trilogy and the first three of the Stormlight archive. Just finished Oathbringer this morning and I cannot wait to get the next one!! I love the maps and art in the books as well. Which have you read?

I’m wrapping up Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson. Making my way through all of his books currently, it’s been a real treat! I haven’t been this excited to read books since I was a kid. Nice to see other fans around!

Why do the majority of women still take their partner's last name? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Araithya@lemmy.world 15 points 7 months ago (5 children)

Can’t speak for all women, but I (and I imagine some others) changed my name because I knew I’d be having kids and didn’t want there to be any confusion. Like, if I’m traveling internationally or if my kid ends up in the hospital, I don’t want one of us having to fish out a birth certificate to prove we’re both the parents. Also I’m of the percent that absolutely hated my long last name so the chance for my name to be shorter and nicer was a no brainer.

Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? in c/games@lemmy.world

Another vote for WalkScape! I’m doubling my walking time since joining, and it’s feeds the “gotta chop 100 birch trees” part of my brain.

Coffee Plant Troubles in c/gardening@lemmy.world

I believe she waters 1/2 cup every five days? She uses an app that tells her when to water things. It doesn’t appear to be spreading to other leafs, but it might be growing slowly onto the leafs that are already bothered. I just got it a week ago and haven’t noticed to rapid of a spread among the already infected leafs.

So, my mom in law left me all of her plants while she travels abroad for the next month and told me her coffee plant has been looking a little sickly and she can’t figure out why. I know absolutely nothing about this plant, but thought I would try and help heal it for her if I can while she’s away. Does anyone know what could be causing the leafs to brown? The newer leafs on top are growing fast and healthy, and the soil feels good and doesn’t have any signs of rot or infection. It’s also not in any kind of harsh light or in a dark corner, and it’s in a place where the humidity is slightly higher than the rest of the house, but not a significant amount. I’ve had it for a week now, but I can’t seem to make the lower leafs happy.

Wow, evergreen clippings? Like from an evergreen tree? That’s brilliant, I’ve got an evergreen partially in my yard so I’ve got endless clippings!

Be sure to share pics when you do! I found adding coffee grounds to be a massive help. Something about the acidity I think?

First Harvest! (lemmy.world)
 

Got a little excited and accidentally picked some still green ones, but hey! First ever fruit I’ve grown! Tastes all the sweeter for it! Thanks everyone for all of your advice! I’ve got so many more still turning, I’ll have to make some blueberry cobbler once they’re all done.

Seed Planting Advice? (lemmy.world)
 

Hi friends! I got some flower seeds as a gift recently, and while they say they should be planted in late May early June, I’m worried about them lacking sun in our weird unseasonal weather! It’s been completely overcast and 50s and raining constantly. I’m sharing the planting with some kids in the neighborhood, so I really don’t want them to fail… is it okay to plant them despite the abysmal conditions? They call for full sun, but I’m honestly not sure when we’ll be getting full sun again and I don’t want to plant them too late.

[Update] Blueberries! (lemmy.world)
 

Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?

Why are my sunshine blueberry’s leafs turning hard and black? (lemmy.world)
 

Basically the question above. My legacy plant growing in the same pot is doing just fine, but the Sunshine seems to be struggling. We’ve been getting a lot of rain lately so I haven’t been watering as much, is it just thirsty? Should I give it some fertilizer? I’m in Zone 8a and planted them about two weeks ago.

I’m new to growing fruits so I’m a little lost! I’ve only grown herbs and garlic before. I hope they can be saved!
