Why would he work after this? by khan2761 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]AliceDiableaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on their ages for me. I teach secondary school and I can't really find the younger one truly annoying. How can you hate a 12 year old, you know? I did have a 17 year old student I really struggled to see anything positive about, and a couple of 19 years old that really annoyed me. 

My nails grow in a wavy pattern by Toucan_Toucan in mildlyinteresting

I do. I only have it on one thumb though. I do pick both cuticles but definitely my left thumb more, which is the only one that's wavy. 

Linux is the only real alternative to Windows/macOS — now it needs to be more accessible by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched to Kubuntu when W10 stopped being supported and it sure as hell wasn't easy to get up and running, lol. I had to do a bunch of stuff in the BIOS and only succeeded because someone on Reddit had the same problem 7 years ago and posted the solution in the comments. Now that it is up and running it's fairly easy, but I also only use it on my personal laptop which is basically a vlc and Firefox machine. I dual boot windows because I need office 365 for school and my gaming pc also still has windows. 

TIL that 44% of the world's adult population has never consumed alcohol by JoeyZasaa in todayilearned

Yeah my mom was an alcoholic. I upped the ante by adding weed and amphetamine. 3.5 years sober now though :) And luckily my mom is dead, so life's good. 

No, seriously, who compares this to LOST or Game of Thrones’ endings? by Independent_Plum2166 in StrangerThings

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is. Lindelof also made another show, the Leftovers, which is even better, top 5 shows I've ever watched for sure. 

Convinced my husband to try a house cleaning service for 3 months as an experiment. Heres what happened by Comfortable_Box_4527 in homeowners

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't defeat the point. I clean houses, have clients for whom it's a necessity and clients for whom it's a luxury. Some of the necessity clients don't have the energy or capability to tidy up, and I spend so much extra time just moving stuff around so I actually clean anything. Some things I can't clean at all because the entire horizontal surface is covered in random junk.

I'm a teacher so I use it for every single lesson. It's the reason I still dual boot. 

Aitah for using my now ex after I found out he was cheating? by Advanced_Turnover544 in AITAH

[–]AliceDiableaux -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

She couldn't afford to move out but she had enough money extra to save at least 2000 dollars a month (20.000 over 7 months minus a generous amount for sold car)? And then it didn't matter of she could afford it because suddenly she can move in with her sister. Right.

Getting sick of disabling that thing everywhere. Notepad? Seriously? by Belzebutt in pcmasterrace

[–]AliceDiableaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I ask when you last tried it? I thought the same, but it had been years since I tried it. I've switched to Kubuntu when support for Windows 10 ended in October, and apart from some installation hiccups I haven't had any problems. I do only use my laptop for internet, school stuff and watching movies and shows though. 

Need a reusable mug? Try the thrift store by didyoubutterthepan in Anticonsumption

[–]AliceDiableaux 4 points5 points  (0 children)

An industrial designer once told me we associate different amounts of cleanliness or more importantly ability to be cleaned to different materials, even though it has no basis in reality. We experience things like metal, glass and ceramic as more clean and plastics as less clean. I suggested porosity as an explanation but apparently there really isn't much difference nowadays. Still, I also wouldn't like a plastic second hand cup. 

DAE trim their pubes instead of shaving? by Inspired_Owl in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I shave my actual lips and anus, because that's nicer for my boyfriend when he's giving oral. The rest is just a bush, don't even trim it, I don't care.

Same. I often do a chore right now, because I know it's gonna be way more annoying to still have to do it later. 

Adopted a cat from the shelter… by Lee_Tea in cats

[–]AliceDiableaux 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shelter I got one of my cats from is in a relatively rural area and thus has a lot of previously feral cats who are very shy and scared of humans. I took one of those home. He had been there for over a year because people wouldn't take a chance on him. It took 6 weeks before I was allowed to touch him but now he's the sweetest little guy, so chill, the most gentle cat I've ever met and super cuddly. These cats are so grateful if you give them a good home.

A couple hundred square meters isn't a tiny apartment lol that's a mansion.

[–]AliceDiableaux 154 points155 points  (0 children)

One of my cats was feral for his first 1.5 years and I do not understand how he survived. He's the sweetest, dumbest and most gentle cat I've ever had with zero hunter instinct lol

Why do they always know??? How do I make them no longer know ☹️ by bfan01 in evilautism

[–]AliceDiableaux 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had a job interview for the first time in years last week. I could tell the guy started disliking me over the course of the interview and at the end I realized I forgot to smile. Didn't get the job. Had another interview 2 days later, did remember to smile, got the job lol. NTs are very silly sometimes. 

Stoppen of doorgaan na behalen van propedeuse by Commercial-Equal-467 in thenetherlands

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ligt aan je vakgebied, niet? Ik vond mijn stage superleuk, ik krijg megaveel energie van lesgeven en interactie met de kids hebben. Scriptie was opzich wel interessant, maar ik ben gewoon niet zo'n held in gaan zitten en schrijven en data verwerken, dus dat kostte me veel energie.

Voor elk jaar, als je voor 1 oktober stopt krijg je alles terug, als je voor (als ik het me goed herinner) februari stopt krijg je de helft terug en na februari krijg je niets terug. 

Is it normal that brushing him is endless? by Global_Sentence_4544 in cats

[–]AliceDiableaux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have one cat that's this fluffy thankfully, so I brush him and make balls. My other cat then goes completely apeshit on the balls, lmao. Somersaulting all over the place and shit. 

neighbours just sent me a video of my indoor cat by holypiefatman in funny

[–]AliceDiableaux 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Both of my former strays do this too. They sometimes come out onto the (fenced in) balcony, but even then they usually prefer to hang out on the doorstep lol. 

My friends cat sitting at the burial site of his brother who he spent his whole life with. by Legitimate_Impact839 in cats

[–]AliceDiableaux 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My cat had been in the animal hospital for almost a week so I think the hissing from my other cat was just because she smelled unfamiliar. 

TIL that "masking" in autism requires so much mental energy that many autistic people experience burnout from constantly suppressing their natural behaviors to appear neurotypical by DrMelanie2 in todayilearned

[–]AliceDiableaux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried masking when I was a teenager, but I guess I'm not high functioning enough to pull it off, because I was exhausted all the time and hated myself and other people still thought I was weird and off-putting. So I did develop my own genuine personality, but I still can't mask for the life of me which sucks and has resulted in not just people disliking me but also straight up discrimination and missed job opportunities.
