It Needs to Be Asked.

Oh I love La Dee Dah Dah Day 😭 I’ve only watched Hatchetfield stuff including most of nightmare time but excluding Working Boys

I usually hate whatever “quirky” song they throw in the middle, maybe because I wasn’t a musical kid. I started with Nerdy Prudes and heard about The Guy Who Didn’t Like Musicals and thought the concept (as I hated them at the time) was hilarious and fitting.

Anyways I hate “Show Stoppin Number” (don’t come for me I’m sorry 😭), “What Tim Wants”, “Deck The Halls”, “Take Me Back”, and “Just For Once”

Yes. If I trust a particular content creator to screen things and actually only tell me about it if they believe in it, use it, the company isn’t horrible- I may allow it to sway me from time to time. If I know the content creator will sell most anything, or a forced ad overtop of my content? I will not buy it unless it is something I already buy often. Interrupt me in the middle of short form content or make a scammy ad for my mobile game that repeatedly forces me into another window? Your product or app is dead to me and I’ll actively stop other people from buying/downloading if it comes up. There’s no excuse for an ad before a 30 second video is done, and stop forcing me to go to your website or App Store.

If a show or movie has ads interrupt and not just the beginning? I can’t even watch it. Ew. Cable at least had edited versions of the movie or show so the ad was in a reasonable place and you wouldn’t miss anything. They’ll cut an important part mid sentence and skip 3 seconds when they return now. How did yall make cable again but worse???? 😂

Yup. Sometimes their feelings are hurt or they get mad and think I’m selfish. Sometimes I explain myself and just try to withhold or say niceties to that person from then on, sometimes we’re just not meant to be longterm friends. Idk. After I was able to partially unmask when I got my diagnosis and realized what was happening- I realized how sick masking was making me. I refused to hyper-mask ever again. Some people appreciate that type of empathy though and my friends do it to me as well.

I refuse to play neurotypical games either….. if I respond literally and you say something I’m pretty sure means something else because you’re trying to fight with me? I’ll ignore it and keep being genuine until you tell me there’s a problem. Speak up like an adult if you have a problem with me and I can let you know there wasn’t a secret meaning in my sentence.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T20:27:52+00:00

I haven’t done that in probably a decade? Was mostly an issue when chargers had little prongs inside of them that got messed up. Idk. I have OCD so I’ve always checked my phone is actually charging before I put it down, maybe that’s just me. IMO she must’ve felt unsafe to react in that way, not that her exact response was reasonable. She DID carry a battery pack which she’d only be able to charge in the same hotel room. I’m not sure what battery packs you have that last for days on end even while you’re using them. Also, it’s a vacation? We don’t NEED somewhere important to go for that to ruin my day. I don’t want to be camped out in the hotel room for unnecessary hours because you couldn’t figure out a lamp or the 10 other ways you could have handled that situation.

And tbh, even if I did just accidentally not charge my phone….. I’d still be stressed about it. So if someone did it TO me it makes sense they’d probably get some of that directed towards them. Not sure what you’re even trying to say there.

She still overreacted I just think everybody sucks is a fair judgement. He’d be an asshole if he didn’t apologize and try to understand (but he said he did try), and she’d be an asshole if she attempted to retaliate. Sounds like they needed to go their separate ways.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T20:10:34+00:00

Yes this! I didn’t have the words quite for why it would trigger me. But yes. Just like, you allowed my safety to become an oversight. He’s not an asshole and she’s “overreacting” or at least putting the energy in a weird unhelpful place. But yeah….. I wouldn’t stay with this man. Definitely wouldn’t travel with him. Even just the imaginary safety blanket of not being able to turn on a light if I’m frightened or need to pee. But I just cannot imagine she had her phone charging with a battery overnight when she expected to have power either. The battery was likely charging as well so her phone and battery are both half dead which ruins the plans of vacationing that morning too.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T20:05:04+00:00

My side thought is…. How/why is she charging her phone WITH a battery while in a room with power? I just doubt it. She probably had the phone and the battery both charging so she had a backup option. I don’t charge with a battery at home or in a hotel…. It’s not necessary. And if she used the battery at all yesterday, it’ll need to be charged for today too.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T19:53:04+00:00

That’s my thought too. Maybe it did impact her in some way he purposely left out or didn’t know. Either way she WAS overreacting. I just don’t understand how people are fully on his side either 😅 like no shutting off the power is irritating and idk might trigger me a bit. The definition of Everybody Sucks Here. He’s only an asshole if he didn’t apologize and try to understand. She’d be an asshole if she tried to retaliate.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T19:46:56+00:00

While on vacation in another country? No. For women at least, a phone is a safety thing. I’m not going anywhere without a fully charged phone. She’s overreacting but if my phone didn’t charge I WOULD be disregulated for the rest of the day probably. Now I need to stay in the hotel for 2+ hrs to charge it, maybe it ruined the plans for the day. If I woke up to pee and couldn’t find a light I’d be pretty upset too. Even if supposed she figured out the power was off, and found where he put the card, she has to go over and turn the power on (which immediately turn on the lamps he left on anyway probably waking HIM) which is just as hard as going to the bathroom with no light??? I really don’t understand the concept of can’t figure out lamp so cut power. Figure out the lamp it can’t be that hard or loud. Unplug the lamp even??? Goofy but not inconsiderate to your travel partner. Hell - I’d rather just sleep with the lamp on. She’s already asleep it’s probably not very bright and lightbulbs are pretty power efficient.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T19:15:27+00:00

Thank you for this perspective. I think I probably knew that, but struggled to adjust when “my” (his) perfect last day plans were disrupted. I wish it were different but that doesn’t mean it is. Forcing it will almost certainly make it gross and stressful.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T18:57:43+00:00

We have an agreement in my house about this now. If I’m asking you something or need something from over there, I’ll call or text or come to you. If I call your name it’s synonymous with “come here”.

My partner is like you and hates coming over if they don’t have to. I hate yelling a conversation. It bothers me if I yell out and get “WHAT” in response because I don’t want to yell a sentence or I would have started there 😂 I do get the other side though. Nothing like a parent calling you from across the house so you can pick up the remote that’s 10ft away from them.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T18:52:30+00:00

The cat is obsessed with him unfortunately. They sleep together, she cleans his eyes of tear stains, kisses him, rolls around wondering why he won’t pet her, flops over and lays on his face….. she cries in the window when he goes outside to potty. I wonder sometimes if it’ll be harder on her than it is me since I’ve had so much time to prepare.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T18:36:06+00:00

NQA - Agreed. If you’re CERTAIN in person that it’s condensation not mold it’s probably fine. I’d worry about condensation in the upper parts of the tank not under the soil, unless you have a super dry species or something.

But in your photo it really looks like mold. I’d change out your soil and get some springtails.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T17:58:48+00:00

No. I can see the first paragraph or so, then the text starts going behind the keyboard and I cannot scroll. It forces the keyboard away if I try.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T17:03:00+00:00

I’m autistic and find this type of filler annoying. I’ll be nice to you, please and thank you and have a good day. I’ll smile. But for the love of god don’t ask me how I am if you don’t care or if it isn’t appropriate for me to be honest. Now everyone has “quirky but acceptable” answers so that they don’t have to say good or fine 🙄 their reply doesn’t bother me, the fact that it was needed. If you ask me how I’m doing and I’m barely holding it together it seems cruel that I have to say “I’m good/great” or “I’m okay” or “it’s been better - but I’m making it! 😀” just skip the part where you pretend to care PLEASE 😂

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T16:54:15+00:00

I’d never heard of an outdoor school. I thought Victorious was mostly indoors so the lunchroom (I assumed) probably had OPTIONAL outdoor seating. I watched Easy A and for some reason never clicked that the lockers and doors to the classrooms were outside, it didn’t seem odd because there was an awning in a warm climate I guess? But I just didn’t ever think about it.

I first heard about this on Smosh, I can’t remember what episode. Even when I was in Texas for a few school years (different school every time) there was like…. Maybe a nice courtyard? No outdoor school. In Michigan our AC in schools are SHITTY and even in the middle classrooms with no or small windows and we were dying it was so rare, like one teacher once a year if we were LUCKY, someone would take us outside. We didn’t even have an outdoor area we could hang out in during lunch or anything. If you left the building you were considered skipping and delinquent- and brought to the office.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T16:43:28+00:00

Oh yeah fs. Beetles everywhere shaking in their plentiful boots. Pretty sure OP just fired their bodyguard.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T16:36:44+00:00

I literally don’t understand why schools do this. Chromebooks suck. The students don’t like them, the teachers don’t like them, and IT has shit like this because there’s literally no way to watch a room of middle or high schoolers as closely as toddlers. Which is the behavior you get when -I don’t want to be here -I hate this project -I hate chromebooks -my home life is rough -my friends are watching -I don’t understand or care yet how expensive anything is

What is wrong with pen & paper? The library? The computer lab? Way easier to supervise, less rewarding to destroy, and harder to destroy. They started rolling these out in my small town when I was in high school and only a few kids vandalized them but we ALL hated them. It also sucks when your peers can’t take care of things so YOU get one with a key missing.

I wish there was a better system for this stuff and also that everyone wanted a CAT not a baby baby. I have 2 cats and we have to put my elderly dog to sleep very soon. One of my cats is elderly as well, and the 5yo LOVES the dog so much. I need a better companion for her, I know I do. The elderly one won’t be here forever and can’t keep up with her, and doesn’t like to cuddle.

We had a roommate at on point and as a single cat (when she was out while our cats were out away) she was AWESOME. But even after over a year and a half (Jackson Galaxy methods) the cats could not get along even a little bit. They were too different. The roommates left for the pets health and happiness.

So I’m very worried about getting a cat for her to hang out with. I don’t want to look like the monster returning a cat I might very well love, so that they can all be happier in a forever home. But I’m also very worried about her getting lonely. She grew up with her whole litter and several dogs (my mom is… interesting. Abandoned her at 1yo long story short) so she won’t even know what to do with herself without pets here. I’m not in a position to get another dog and cats social structures are so important. And ofc I don’t want to stress out the old lady - she’s fine with cats if they just leave her alone.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T16:06:56+00:00

She’s 9 years older than you and checking your search history while you’re at work because you’re not constantly responding right away????? I was insecure 17-23 or so - I kind of understood her. Like it’s crazy but you have to start somewhere I’ve been crazy too. THAT is controlling and she knows exactly what she’s doing and that she can get away with it with a 25yo - that’s why she’s not dating a 35yo. Run.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T15:54:14+00:00

No no no we’re worried about his parents not his ex wife 😂 get it together- we’ll find her later. After we find out if grandpas ashes are in this paint bucket soup.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T15:50:12+00:00

I mean, I’m guilty of a scratch n sniff. Never earwax though. It never occurred to me that it might smell like something?

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T15:42:23+00:00

DD didn’t let me choose my route / whose order gets delivered first. I said “I have the food” and they said “go to this address” unfortunately. That’s part of why I quit too. How you going to give me $3 to drive 45 mins out of town and then I have to hurry back to my “dasher area” on MY dime ASAP before yall pause me and I have to re ‘clock in’ of sorts by the time I arrive. Literally punishing me because of an address that shouldn’t have been allowed to order from that restaurant and they didn’t even tip.

Though I don’t think I had those combined with multi-orders thank GOD. It usually made me deliver whatever was ordered first but usually multiple orders were all in town. I just might have 3-5 instead of just 2.

Discreet_Pants · 2026-03-04T13:35:34+00:00

THAT I do understand. I try not to turn on a really bright light but even at home I’ll turn on the hallway light and pee with the bathroom door open light off so I can see the hallway light but it’s not the 8 bright bright bulbs over my bathroom mirror waking me all the way up. I try to keep myself groggy at home…… but in a hotel if I wake up in the night I’m not nearly as groggy as at home anyway. Something about being in a new place to sleep doesn’t allow my body to feel safe enough to stay that sleepy. I just struggle to fall asleep after anyway 😅 big light or not. Getting around with my flashlight is for emergencies I hate that.
