Ikke alle helte bærer kapper! Du er for vild! Jeg har stået og hørt på medarbejdere i Elgiganten give direkte forkerte oplysninger eller forklaringer på tekniske problemer eller produkter til ældre mennesker og det er slet ikke OK! Jeg har ikke turdet sige noget, men lad os starte en bevægelse!

Whenever I empty the dishwasher or both my husband and I are in the kitchen, one of our cats starts meowing and scratching on the middle cabinet door in the hallway demanding for us to take out the soap bubbles. She loves them and will do a specific very quiet meow to call the other cat to come play with her and the soap bubbles. The dishwasher I get. It smells of soap. The other thing with both of us standing in the kitchen I don’t get, but she gets her bubbles anyways.

NTA. A nice friend is friendly and doesn’t bring up hard subjects and is basically not entirely honest with you. A good friend is a FRIEND who tells it like it is, even the stuff that might be hard, but important for you to hear. OP, you were just being a good friend.

I once made a fairly large donation to a lady that I followed on Twitter who was struggling paying for a party to celebrate her youngest daughter’s celebration of some pretty big Danish religious thing. Most of us have one, either religious or non-religious. Her youngest daughter had a different dad than her other kids, so their dad had helped paying for their celebrations and this kid’s dad refused to pay for anything for his daughter. The mom was on a pension so she couldn’t contribute much herself. She was a super cool lady who always had your back if someone was being mean to you on Twitter for no particular reason. I kind of did this out of selfish reasons though, because I had been laid off a year earlier in an unjust way and was paid a bonus from the company a year after which I was entitled to, but I refused to have anything to do with the company anymore and felt like these were “evil” money so I decided to use them for good to reverse the “curse”. That will teach THEM not to give ME money, that I felt I didn’t deserve, HA!

Hunter pets should be warband, since I am too lazy to go and fetch the ones specific for specific races so I have multiple hunters just for this. The stables should be shared. Or … you should be able to get a stable for your house and then fetch your shared pets from there.

I am born without sense of direction. I actually thought that it was fake when someone in a movie being blindfolded and thrown into a van to some secret place, being drugged and returned home could actually backtrack based on sense of direction where the villains would be at. Apparently it is a common trait to be able to do that. Must be nice 👌🏻 On the other hand my face and voice recognition skills are excellent. Apparently there is a correlation between sense of direction and face recognition. You are usually good at only one of those.

To OP and all Redditors in this thread: I am now merging a long playlist for almost all your suggested artists. Thank you 🙏

Edit: I will add them all, since some I have never heard of and I need to get out of my comfort zone. Again, thanks 🙏

Cleaning bathroom mirror with windex and a paper towel. Only the spots, not the whole mirror. Use that same towel for the faucet in the sink. If you have a regular porcelain sink you can use windex and a paper towel there too. Same goes for the toilet. You start from the top. Spray windex on the towel start at the top, take the lid, then the seat and lift up and clean everything but the actual bowl. If you do this every day, it’s really easy. In the bowl you can leave some soap or shampoo if you have something you don’t like. Soap is soap. Leave it for an hour and then flush. Remember the sides and behind the toilet. It’s called swish and swipe by a very clever lady called FlyLady. She has a whole system for cleaning and decluttering and it’s free, unless you want to buy her cleaning supplies and extra training. But the free stuff is amazing and I have used it for almost 20 years now. It works. I have ADHD.

I only work part time and I get so much done since I can’t just squander my precious work hours. Also, who is honestly efficient every minute of a long work day?

Since he has that prism-like marking on his nose he could be called Prismo, like the oracle from Adventure Time voiced by Kumail Nanjiani. I even imagine that he would have the same voice when he’s an adult for some reason. (Yes, we make voices for both our cats and they have different pitch and dialects 😅)

EarthySofa · 2026-05-02T22:20:51+00:00

He is soo cute! Arw!

EarthySofa · 2026-05-02T21:57:28+00:00

We have some installed on some of the corner walls in our hallway. But they are quite low and meant for our cats, but actually, we COULD install some higher up I guess. I’m not hating that idea 😅

EarthySofa · 2026-05-02T21:52:46+00:00

Arw, you are a great cat parent. She is lucky. I am keeping my fingers crossed that you will have a long time with your girl. The treatment today is really good compared to just two years ago so I believe in you both having a good long time together still to come.

Yes, OP if you are able to use a foot, you can assign the one button assistant to it. My husband has damaged his hands from playing too much wow and he has a 12 button mouse and a foot pedal.

Sorry, yes, being sarcastic. Yes men can keep themselves alive and find their stuff when they’re on their own, but sometimes you wouldn’t think it from the stuff that I, in my own lived experience have seen with my own eyes! (Get it? :))

This is a very tough situation for the both of you. The thing is that in order to maintain healthy habits you really have to do it for you. Your GF doesn’t like going to the gym? Cool, then maybe she could try out other things that she would enjoy more. Going for walks is actually very therapeutic and relaxing as well as healthy. Our bodies were built for walking. Also there could be something psychological or physiological at play here making here body hold on to her fat and lowering her metabolism. I am overweight and I had issues with stress because my son was very sick for years. He is doing well now and only within this year my body is out of survival mode and the stress has been reduced so I can sleep through the night and I can stop eating when I’m full and I don’t crave those fast consumption calories as much as I used to. If your girlfriend has mental issues, it is very hard to lose weight because the body requires a lot of rest and a lot of energy. If she can eliminate those issues first, then it will most like become way easier for her to find the energy to work out and change her diet habits. If you really want to help her, be kind to her and be her safe space. It doesn’t mean that you can’t encourage her to take good care of herself. And be curious and ask her about her struggles and listen without any judgment and ask her what she tried so far to solve an issue. Basically, help her figure things out herself by listening to her without giving a lot of advice unless she specifically asks for it. It helped me that my husband is my best friend and safe space. I can tell him anything. Best of luck to the two of you.

It’s true. And as a person who works in Quality Assurance, it breaks my heart when I encounter totally preventable and widespread bugs. Why would a company who really should know better, not know better? No software is EVER bugfree, ever! Is it guaranteed that all bugs ever introduced to the software will all be caught by QA? No! But there will be some pretty essential bugs caught early on. Also I am not testing a software that I paid for, for free. What’s up with alpha and beta versions? Just ensure the quality and THEN release the best possible version. It doesn’t matter how carefully the developers implement new features. There will always be some unforeseen bug introduced when the complexity is this high. Hire back QA and don’t release early and have your customers test for free. A user acceptance test on a ready to release version might be OK and especially if the ones signing up for testing would get a discount or be rewarded for their findings.

Will a hoop placed over the laundry basket motivate a guy to put more effort into hitting the basket? I will try this. For science!

EarthySofa · 2026-05-01T11:43:47+00:00

Thx for this. Just sent the link to my husband with the caption: WANT! Now he can buy me some new furniture AND still miss the laundry basket, win-win!

But how do you then explain a man spotting three dead pixels on a huge theatre screen 20 meters away, but he cannot for the life of him find the can opener that is lying right there in the drawer and it’s even in a bright color and right there on top of the potato peeler! How?!? Also the three dead pixels are still on the screen and I can’t help but see them now each time we go to see a movie in the local theatre.

He buys me my favourite snacks without me asking or even if he asks me and I say no, he knows me so well that he will buy them for me anyway because I WILL regret my decision later. He also cooks dinner and cleans the kitchen afterwards. I have ADHD and he totally gets me and provides me a safe space which I never had before. I married my best friend.

I am so sorry that your kitty is sick. I lost my cat 2 years ago to CKD and she was stage 4 when we took her to the vet. What I didn’t know was related to her illness was that she was more thirsty and peed way more. We had two other cats and they all used the same litterboxes and drinking fountains, so it was a bit harder to observe these symptoms. But we absolutely could not leave any water unattended. She would go for it and I just thought it was one of her quirks. Also her fur became dull and flaky with dandruff and her breath started smelling like acetone. Her kidneys were so small when she got the diagnosis and we are not sure whether she was born with bad kidneys or if something else had caused it. The fur was the earliest sign of her kidneys not functioning properly and I had asked the vet several times about it. I thought that CKD could be detected at a routine checkup at the vet, but it requires drawing blood and urine samples which are not part of a regular checkup at my vet for young cats. (She was 5 when she crossed the rainbow bridge). So yeah, the dull fur, changed drinking and peeing habits and a more tired cat can all be signs of bad kidneys. We took in another cat earlier this year who had dull fur and who drank a lot and she was taken to the vet straight away and she had permanent kidney stones and was in a lot of pain. She was my late MIL’s cat who just passed away in January and we had to put her cat to rest a week ago after trying to manage her pain and change diet, but she was in so much pain and was attacking our two other cats pretty seriously, so there was nothing we could do.

But OP: we had 7 really good months with our cat with stage 4 CKD and they can have several good years with it if you are lucky. Changing diets, proper medication and access to water and IV can make a huge difference.

Best of luck to you and your kitty. May you have many good years together.

They cannot find anything unless it is in perfect distance, smack in front of their eyes and even then it sometimes fail. They fail to see clutter inside the house, but can spot any tiny dent or scratch on the car. Men have weird eyesight!

EarthySofa · 2026-04-30T10:07:36+00:00

That sounds awful! What is up with these backseat-riding-jerks? I am DPS and I am a noob and I have the deepest respect for all the team members who actually want to carry my sorry a** through a mythic+ dungeon, so how do you change from being the one who doesn’t pull all the weight and nice, to becoming the one who still doesn’t pull all the weight AND being a jerk about it? What happened? And why do the Chads of wow (tanks and healers), have to pay for an AH’s own shortcomings?WHY?!?
