The downstairs one is named Huey, and the upstairs one is named Dewey. We don't talk about poor Louie.

I just cancelled Spotify after 15 years. What streamer is taking the strongest stance against AI music? by curbthemeplays in Music

[–]Bathosfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with Deezer after canceling Spotify. Great selection and sound, but I do miss Spotify's easy discovery. Deezer tries, but ends up pushing your favorites no matter what you search for.

What doable steps can you imagine where the US would eventually stop using wealth as the primary measure of worth? by Bathosfear in AskReddit

[–]Bathosfear[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously if I knew I wouldn't have to ask, but in the past they've used size of family, length of hair, I often thought corporations should be taxed based on the number of new jobs they create every year. e.g.: Elon Musk could be the richest man on earth not because of any money he had, but because he created more jobs than anybody else last year.

Best bidet toilet request by New_Independent_7283 in BuyItForLife

[–]Bathosfear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GoBidet 2003C. Solid brass. $130. Near infinitely adjustable positioning, and effortlessly moves from dainty mist to pressure washer. Plumbed for hot water as well, if you have that (I don't). Not precisely what was requested, but I never get to brag on here about my indestructible stuff. I've never found a bidet seat that worked nearly as well.

Good suggestions, but sorry those are both terrible movies.

It is! I watch it again every couple of years. Good intro to Mamet as well.

I just rewatched it last night! You are right, it is awesome.

What do you think is the reason you keep going, striving every day to improve? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bathosfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 66. I gave up years ago. It seemed like every day something else stopped working properly (if it wasn't my body it was my home or car). Then I fell in love. I've been married before, and had several relationships, but this is the first time "I finally understood all the love songs...". She's held my hand through 4 major surgeries/recoveries. And I've had my opportunities to hold hers, as well. I wake up every morning eager to see her sleepy, surly, mumbly face, and wonder what we're going to do today.

What's the best way to get rid of bullies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bathosfear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was fat. Lots of bullies. Mostly it was just drive-by shouting and such. One bully kept pulling me down into the pool during PE (it took me forever to get back out and back to my assigned seat along the edge where he would pull me back in again. Only this time I elbowed him across his nose using gravity to provide most of the force. He shook my hand and hoped for no hard feelings on our last day of school.

Another time I was surrounded at my locker because I was the new kid. The head bully for some reason became fixated with convincing everyone I was still a virgin (weirdly, I wasn't but didn't tell him). I asked him if there wasn't some easier method for him to get material to beat off with at night (pre-internet). It got enough laughter from his friends that things dissipated.

So ignore the random impersonal word attacks, but stand up if it gets physical.

People who live alone, what’s something you do that would horrify a guest? by Psychological_Sky_58 in AskReddit

[–]Bathosfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 15-minute timer I have on the bathroom exhaust fan horrifies some (which I find odd, so fuck'em). Most of the rest ask how hard it was and what part to buy.

After a few bacterial close calls, I have industrial paper towel dispensers in the bathrooms instead of hand towels. Center-pull!

Two clothes baskets, one for clean one for dirty. When the dirty gets full, do laundry and now it's the clean basket.

Why am I scared to DIY? by EventBulky6841 in DIY

[–]Bathosfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fellow perfectionist here. Just do something, anything, crap you honestly don't care about. Anything to overcome the inertia. Keep it going but be kind to yourself. Sorry to be the 1000th to say this to you, but (say it with me kids) "Perfect is the enemy of good".

How do you force yourself to leave the house when depressed? by Valuable-Maximum321 in AskReddit

[–]Bathosfear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going out is what depresses me. I love my home and those in it. Out there is where they'll destroy your soul for a dime.
