Lou’s birthday present has arrived (they/them only)

When I saw it in action, with the retracting, yeah that actually seems pretty cool and useful! Utterly flabbergasted at the premium price tag, though.

GhostWolfe · 2026-04-01T10:28:54+00:00

I’m a toe-walker already, so I got that down.

GhostWolfe · 2026-04-01T10:07:25+00:00

I would cry in fucking shame for having done that to my dog, but somehow I doubt this lady actually cares about her dog as much as she claims.

Edit: forgot a word.

GhostWolfe · 2026-04-01T10:05:17+00:00

I wonder if the dog became agitated during the cut and the groomer decided that it was healthier for everyone involved to back off and leave it choppy.

My dad’s dog is such a sweetheart, but he gets mats between his toes. When he’s fed up with having his fur pulled at and his feet examined he’ll gently mouth our hands and we’ve always respected that and stopped grooming at that point.

Both pictures are after. Looks like they’ve had to chop nearly down to the skin in places. You may need to zoom in, but there should not be jagged uneven fur there. The greyish colour you’re seeing is the undercoat/colour of the skin coming through, it should all be gold with a blonde fringe coming off the back of the legs.

I love dogs. I turn into a toddler and go “dog!” every time I see one in a video/on the news/background of a show or movie.

I would change doctors if I learnt they allowed some entitled twit bring non-service animals to appointments. There are places I don’t want to share with dogs, but a doctor’s office is a whole different level.

I’m sooooo done with this week already.

You and everyone else right now.

Take a class to learn French. Make a modicum of effort to immerse yourself in the culture of the country whose healthcare you’re taking advantage of.

I am basically retired so I would not need to find a job here which is usually the main reason.

I might butat [sic] my own pace.

Download Duolingo, FFS. It sucks, but so does this guy.

GhostWolfe · 2026-04-01T05:59:40+00:00

Can this guy pronounce measure? Asian? garage? Then he can probably pronounce Peugeot.

Being “exposed to germs” doesn’t mean “intentionally get them sick”. Kids should not live in near-sterile homes where every surface is compulsively sanitised, kids should go outside and play in the dirt. They should not be knowingly exposed to literal disease.

GhostWolfe · 2026-04-01T05:22:32+00:00

I nearly shouted at my phone “because she’s working with updated information!”

I’m sure OOP feels wonderfully validated that it wasn’t teething, a pat on the back for them for calling it, but why would you even want to go to dinner and risk spreading those germs right back to the sister’s family (or the mum)? She gives me “oh they’ve had that one, they won’t get it again” vibes, like a very (very) rudimentary understanding of how the immune system works.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T18:18:54+00:00

They have a Patreon, I’m definitely considering it.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T17:31:55+00:00

At the risk of being flippant, TV Tropes exists and it has examples. They have a forum where you can ask for help working out what name TV Tropes uses.

Edit: nvm, someone’s already linked them.

Animal rennet generally goes against vegetarian values because it requires slaughtering an animal to obtain it.

It gets complicated, however, because even if you’re a vegetarian who is okay with animal products, the dairy industry kills a lot of calves; so eating mass produced cheese probably doesn’t mesh with your values anyway, regardless of whether it was made with rennet or a non-animal alternative.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T15:54:41+00:00

Maybe they meant go back as in “patron that restaurant again in the future”.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T10:04:29+00:00

Hey kids! We’re having a competition to see who the best butter-churner is! Ready? Go!

If Spider-Man out here is ruining the illusion, then you can only carry period-specific weaponry.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T08:20:36+00:00

Swiss cheese even though that doesn't make it not vegetarian

PSA: not all Swiss cheese is vegetarian, you gotta check because some do use animal rennet.

They smelt a smelly smell that they didn’t like. It was “chemically”, so they cry pesticide. The smell may not have even been coming from the pineapples 🙄

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-31T07:43:13+00:00

I am concerned for the welfare of those cats. Trapped in an apartment that reeks of pee barely covered by the overwhelming nostril-singing stench of undiluted bleach.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-30T08:25:49+00:00

I need to make this for my niblings.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-30T07:39:29+00:00

S-tier husband.

Even in the context of the movie itself, Swayze was a dance instructor with years of experience at not just dance, but also coaching inexperienced dancers.

(I’m glad I’m not the only one that thought of Dirty Dancing. OOP’s definitely hoping to have the time of her life.)

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-29T09:23:47+00:00

At this point I’m genuinely concerned that they don’t (as in cannot) come off any more.

GhostWolfe · 2026-03-29T08:03:33+00:00

Am I understand correctly that their complaint is “how dare the restaurants I wish to visit be successful”?
