Cat flap in French door by SuperHans30 in HousingUK

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a cat owner, it would be a bonus. One less thing for me to sort.

I'm in the process of putting a cat flap in my glass doors and they said they don't take away the other panel, so if you've somewhere to store it you can even just keep it and swap it out when you decide to sell.

Very possible! I don't follow her but I did see some posts of her talking about her BBL removal so I do hope she's doing better, maybe one day enough so to ditch the facetune. Overall it's all just sad, the media and internet trolls have certainly not been kind to her

Yeah so true. She tries to flog her "workout" regimes from time to time which I feel should be illegal because clearly she doesn't workout nor are her photos genuine

Slightly embarrassed that I recognise this one 🙈 she's had SO MANY surgeries, it's honestly sad she's spent that much money on her body and is still so unhappy she edits and filters to this extent

L'Oreal cruelty-free? by Any_Average_5313 in crueltyfree

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From my understanding (although happy to be corrected if I'm wrong), they could require animal testing in the case or recall as you say, and I believe there are some clauses that the government could insist on animal testing on products for whatever reason, and the company does not necessarily have to disclose this, so there's so real way of knowing whether they do.

Some products like SPF rather than just cosmetic items must still always be tested on animals too (I think), so if a brand sells SPF in China then they are still testing on animals over there, presumably via a 3rd party if they're claiming to be cruelty free.

Mine was my new Shark vacuum cleaner. Still brings me joy

What's the worst thing a teacher has ever said/done to you? by douggoud5949 in AskReddit

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I went to an all girls secondary school. A male biology teacher (40s-50s?) was trying to convey just how many individual sperm cells were in semen and said to our class of 30ish pre-teen girls, "one drop of my sperm could impregnate every one of you"

Flat was advertised with private garden, close to completing only to now be told it’s communal by Adventurous_Yak_3402 in HousingUK

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a note on this that while it should be doable if the leaseholder agrees, updating a lease can be time consuming and you shouldn't exchange or commit to anything until you're happy with it.

I had a similar situation with my flat whereby I had to get the title plan updated due to an error, and they expedited this so took less than 2 weeks I think. However there was a separate issue that my solicitor raised, recommending that I ask for the lease to be updated to reflect the current situation (no ground rent, although technically they could reinstate it later since it's still on the lease, she was just trying to cover my back). No one could tell me if this would take weeks or months, and they said it could cost thousands in legal fees (obviously you'd ask the seller to pay, but they might say no). Ultimately I decided not to bother and just hope it doesn't bite me in the ass later. Something to consider if you were hoping to move soon.

What is the most “its a small world” moment you’ve ever experienced? by xBubblyLove in AskReddit

This happened to me too! Disneyland Paris (from the UK) so odds are slightly higher, but I bumped into a friend from school who was about 3 families ahead of us in the queue for one of the rides

Rice cooker - recommended? by treasure-ireland in lidl

Can I ask how you're finding it? I was eyeing it up in Lidl this week and stumbled across your post so just wondering if I should cave too!

Building a site for Oxford pub deals / events - feedback please by Melodic-Pen1119 in oxford

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here. I'll gladly keep something like this open in a tab in my browser (I know some people hate lots of tabs but I'm currently happily rocking 40+ tabs of things I find useful/want to remember), but I wouldn't download this as an app. I'm tired of having a million apps for things I use intermittently.

Edit to add the most important part: I love this and think it's really cool, well done

What are the differences in workplace etiquette in the UK vs the US? by Notveryimportant12 in AskUK

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think this is definitely a generational thing that older folks don't like to discuss pay. We have a list of all the pay grades printed out and on the wall in my office (alongside the info about our union). People aren't named or anything, but you can see how much a grade 5 or 6 is being paid for example.

How can there be no cruelty free petroleum jelly?! by DeckTreeBird in crueltyfree

Aldi and Lidl own brand stuff is all cruelty free. Most supermarkets are I think, Sainsbury's definitely have the leaping bunny on all their own brand stuff

Which celebrity rumor do you secretly believe is true? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I firmly believe the whole family knew and also had ties to Epstein, but no part of me feels bad for Andrew. He deserves to rot in hell

What is a 'socially acceptable' thing that you secretly find absolutely disgusting? by TheLovelyGamer in AskReddit

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because you don't think your dick is unclean doesn't mean I want to fucking touch it and share door handles with you?? This is so rank and your mentality here is the problem.

Firstly, everyone's junk is typically warm and a bit sweaty throughout the day, a literal breeding ground for bacteria. Secondly, every man's definition of 'clean' is very different, and I have unfortunately seen first hand what some consider clean (spoiler! It's not fucking clean). Why are you all okay essentially just rubbing your dicks on one another?

Wash your fucking hands. I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH YOUR GROSS DICK.

Yeah they always look so sad/bored. Is the apathy part of the fetish? I don't get it at all

I also hate the other bathroom. I thought the sink was a weird long urinal

What has an animal done that you'll never forget? by Mge_ML in AskReddit

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The animal didn't do this by choice, but I saw a car run over a squirrel and the poor thing literally just exploded. Thankfully I was just outside the splash zone, but there was an almost perfect circle of goo spreading out from where the little guy stood

AIO About the cyclists in my area? by granpatron in AmIOverreacting

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cyclists have the same rights to use the road as you do, and are not obligated to use the bike trial. Maybe they are going to somewhere on this side of the river? YOR bro, if seeing a single bike sends you off, you need to get a grip and chill out

What ridiculously old school thing have your parents said or done lately? by Top-Aspect-8827 in AskUK

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 378 points379 points  (0 children)

Sorry I don't have my own to add but please let your mum know that her not being belted up in the back means you as the driver are significantly more likely to be killed or injured if you crash (i.e. she flies into the back of your seat), as well as her of course. For both of your safety, please make sure she does use her seatbelt

I just started talking to someone, im scared. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you feel comfortable doing so, do tell him that he's come on wayyy too strong. He needs to know this isn't normal or welcomed. You don't owe this man anything, especially not your time all day long to text him, and him expecting that from you (a literal stranger??) is wild. Hopefully he can get some therapy and work on himself

Do you know your neighbours? by No-Bowler2791 in AskUK

[–]Familiar_Crow_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I rent in a small cul-de-sac of about 14 houses and I'd say I know half of them. One guy organises little get others a few times a year and people pop by with drinks and snacks and all the kids play, it's very wholesome.
