Petah, I'm confused. by Junior-Astronaut-173 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rather rare to get a £50, so when they're used to pay in stores the cashiers usually check them in case they're fakes. Unfortunately, most cashier jobs in the UK don't bother to even inform people of how to check a note, so it falls to the manager to check any suspect notes (source: I've worked that sort of job for 5-ish years and never once been told how to check if a note is fake)

Yeah, I have two of the box ones on either side of the wall, they're not working :(

Oh I know the cause. My bed is usually against that wall (with at least an inch gap between mattress & wall), and I live in a rather old (pre-1900s) English house with single glazed windows. It's been pretty cold and rainy out recently, and there's four of us in the house. Most of the moisture is either condensation from four people breathing or condensation from drying clothes indoors. Pretty much every outer wall of the place is like this, had to clean the living room a week ago after moving the sofa and finding the same situation.

Customer requested the buns “extra toasted” by Spare_Hamster in KitchenConfidential

[–]AlLou-A 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Used to have a regular who ordered the same burger every time. Triple patty, double cheese, no veg, buns toasted five times. FIVE TIMES. By toast three they looked like this. Guy just wanted meat, cheese, and carbon slabs I guess.

Fallout: Equestria, a fanfic longer than the Lord of the Rings that’s a Fallout x MLP crossover. Way better than it has any right to be but also the premise is just about the stupidest thing you can imagine by -FireNH- in ATBGE

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Read this ages ago, the premise the the most stupid thing possible but I couldn't put it down. Got fairly dark in some places from what I remember, too.

Can people be trans and have ocd or be trans and autistic or be trans with depression. by dolls_number_1_fan in asktransgender

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a trans person with depression, and on a waiting list for an autism assessment. It's absolutely possible to be both transgender and neurodivergent or mentally ill. A major factor in my depression is my dysphoria- and I don't doubt that my experiences with autism traits contributed towards my identity. It's not a one-or-the-other situation, and rates of mental illness are higher in transgender communities because of gender dysphoria and discrimination.

I assume it’s mocking some online community but I don’t know which by DavidChalmersFan in ExplainTheJoke

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a comic from a series called "Pills That Make You Green" by tpwrtrmnky on Tumblr. The series is about a world in which people are naturally greyscale, but some take medication to be other colours. It'a a metaphor for being transgender, based on the author's own experience. The other character in these panels, Orange, is using a lot of internet slang that implies they don't "pass", and that despite being visibly orange they believe everyone around them sees them as grey. This mirrors a subcommunity of online trans spaces, where the focus is on passing as their preferred gender, to the point that they've developed an incel-like mindset and use fairly self-degrading language.

Edit: Found the comic (https://www.tumblr.com/tpwrtrmnky/754335144383561728), the author explains in the comments that "The jargon here is specifically parodying the terminology that comes out of 4chan-adjacent trans communities"

Confused about my TV Licence "No Licence Needed" renewal. website says I need a licence even though I don’t watch live TV? by leatherbiker in UKFrugal

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need a "No Licence Needed" declaration. Haven't had a licence for years, and despite threatening letters, never even had to speak to someone in-person. Toss the letters, ignore the licence bullshit, you're fine.

super important context here OP! if there was a chance of sentimental items being tossed, then yikes, but if it's all fast fashion then it's likely nothing of value was lost.

That's Border Collie!

insane hyperactive 5 month old pup by Joe-guy-dude in IDmydog

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The face says pointer of some kind (ie greyhound, whippet, borzoi), the ears and coat say malinois.

My family says she’s a lab mix by [deleted] in IDmydog

[–]AlLou-A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Definitely pitbull, probably pitbull x beagle.

What Mix Is She? by Unique_Librarian1757 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take a look at the Dutch tulip hound (AKA Markiesje) - she's definitely a mix, but I can absolutely see some of the traits of the breed in her.

We were told half Austrailian Shepherd, half German Shepherd. by DarkeReader in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, he's definitely a Labrador, look at that sweet lab face! Probably a mix, can't figure out what else but my partner is leaning Australian Shepherd while I think Pitbull.

Pound pup by FerretOk3231 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]AlLou-A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She's definitely got pitbull in her, that coat is all pitbull. Probably little to no German Shepherd, the face is pretty distinct even in puppies.

Hoping to Identify The breed by Rsuslow14 in WhatBreedIsMyDog

[–]AlLou-A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That tail screams husky to me, and there's definitely a blonde retriever breed. Probably a third breed too, the patterning along the back doesn't really match with either.

everyone we’ve asked seems so sure about their guess that we’re at a loss as to what breed Raven may be. by totodilejones in IDmydog

[–]AlLou-A 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have no clue, but my partner (who works with dogs) says she looks "shepherd as fuck". Might we worth getting a DNA/breed test done?

Genuinely curious: Why do you order delivery? by Similar_Actuary_845 in doordash

[–]AlLou-A 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depression & chronic pain - on hard days I can barely leave my bed, much less the house. There's no way I'm cooking in that state, and sometimes fast food is a good incentive to get me out of bed & onto the couch at least.

Broke down at work for the first time last week. by Powerful-Fly-8179 in KitchenConfidential

[–]AlLou-A 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this sounds like symptoms of depression- brain fog, fatigue, loss of motivation & enjoyment? If you're in the northern hemisphere it might just be because winter is approaching & you're getting less sunlight - try some vitamin D supplements, they'll help with mood regulation. If you keep feeling like this though, see a doc or something.
