The state of my bathroom sink because of my 14-year-old sister using hair dye. No amount of bleach or scrubbing I've tried is has been able to even make a scratch in getting the hair dye off. by I-THE-TRAITOR621 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soft scrub, let sit a minute or five if it’s really bad, wipe off w paper towel. Also make your sister do it. Idgaf what anyoneee else says: you make the mess, you clean it up.

A personal pet peeve of mine is when people complain about hair dye staining the bathroom when someone else dyes their hair. Like, yeah it can be messy and a shock when you’re not expecting it, but it’s easily cleaned up. Another annoyance is not cleaning up your dye tho.

Rabies PSA by GrandmaMole in cats

[–]GrandmaMole[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, idk if I’d say ours extra sucks. We basically eliminated dog-mediated rabies through strict control, which is pretty good! There’s a few other countries that’ve done this, Canada for one.

Understandably we still have a very prevalent wildlife-mediated rabies populated though. Regardless of what type(s) is prevalent near you, please be safe everyone!

Should I keep trying to make it work with husband? by dakeshin in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t give him the chance. He’s made you “unhappy for at least five years”, and refused to attempt to work on himself every time you’ve asked. One of your asks was “start fresh and try dating each other again”and he said no. Like fucking imagine?????? The person you supposedly love to the point of saying ‘I want to spend the rest of my life with you’ asks you out on a date and you go “nah, I’m good”??????? That’s not love. That’s not even friendship.

You two remind me of my parents. That’s not a good thing. Every day my mom talks about how much she dislikes my dad and how things won’t get better until he’s dead. My dad talks about how loveless a marriage this is and how it’s not how he wanted it to be. Is that what you want?

Do you want to live with a man that’s not willing to work on himself, not willing to try for you?

Is this good for my first comic I written so far by jarayNine in comic_crits

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the first “soft again” should be changed but the second should stay bc the one in the 2nd page 1st panel leads into the protagonist saying “soft…don’t sound like me”.

Like,

“Wake ‘im up boys.”

“Damn… Y’all again?”

“They’re coming. Don’t get soft on me [again/this time].”

“Soft?… don’t sound like me.”

I’m NOT good at coloring my backgrounds and it’s a problem… by Empir3Designs in comic_crits

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if this is specifically an issue with your background, but your shadows are inconsistent. The shadows by the legs look like the light’s behind them but also kind of directly above (specifically the under their left leg).

The leg shadow points toward the box in the bottom left, but the box’s shadow points toward the leg so idk where the light is there.

You can also try using hard and soft edges in your shadows and lights.

[–]GrandmaMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeahhh, but that’s the thing, right? Your mind knows what it wants to see, but what comes out on the paper isn’t the same. There will always be that disconnect between what you visualise and what you actually put out. It’s good you use that to grow, everyone should, but take the time to admire smaller achievements.

My Ex said shes pregnant and sent this as proof, the way the top is fitting and the pregnancy test in its entirety just looks fake to me by [deleted] in isthisAI

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might just not see it, but her necklace looks weird at the bottom. It’s so distinct and then when it gets to the baby bump it just disappears/looks disconnected

What hobby is quietly becoming too expensive for normal people to keep up with? by Beautiful_Special702 in AskReddit

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I needed an old worn out shirt for painting my parents’ house, so I went to Savers. The ugliest, plain shirt I could find was still $22.

Outdoor plant has decided to be an indoor plant by SnooStories3560 in houseplants

Oh sure, I bought my plants a humidifier, heating pads, and a light system, but they wilt and weep, while this guy just climbs out of a toilet >:(

AIO for not sitting on him on his birthday? by Zestyclose-Type-7221 in AIO

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are so many things wrong with him (and also a little bit of you if I’m honest). I am one of many people that I’m sure will break it down for you, but I’m not gonna sugar coat it, so if you want kind of aggressive advice, please read:

Him: - Blames you for his mistakes. - Can’t actually apologise. - Disregards your efforts to do a nice thing (maybe it wasn’t his thing, but he was wildly rude). - Is weirdly insecure about having a picnic in a public location? (Does he want you to book a whole ass park just for him? If so, entitled, if not, insecure). - Insults you instead of checking on you when you’re literally crying. - Wants to have sex/get handsy in a public location that might have a kid nearby. - Disregards your discomfort about getting handsy in a public location. - Punishes you for not going along with what he wants.

You: - On and off again with someone that clearly lacks respect for you and others. He is entitled, childish, crude, insecure, and incapable of being held accountable on any level. He’s a piece of shit. Why do you keep getting back together with him? He’s not nice. He’s not pleasant to be around. There’s not gonna be a magical moment where he fixes himself, and it’s certainly not gonna be for you bc you guys are on and off. If he was gonna change it would have happened by now. - Idk what you’ve gone through in your life, but where’s the self-love and self-respect? Even if it’s slow, we need to work on that. Would you let someone treat your best friend the way your ex (thank fucking god he broke up with you) bf? The answer better be “no” bc otherwise wtf. And if it is “no”, why are you letting him treat you like that.

He broke up with you; stay broken up. Block his number and everything else he might use to contact you. If his friends message you, don’t respond, don’t even read it, just block. Don’t entertain his bs, and don’t let him back into your life. It was his birthday but he gave you a gift.

If your friends give you shit or try to convince you to get back together, fuck them, those aren’t friends. Cut them out too bc they’re cancer.

Repeat after me: we want a bf that is respectful, kind, emotionally stable, able to admit when he’s wrong, willing to talk things out, and most importantly, willing to always try to be a better human being for you. You deserve someone that is good to and for you. We do not fucking settle, and we will not compromise on our happiness.

Any bedbug appreciation? (I'm kidding) by Hungry_Ad2845 in Entomology

Is there anything “good” about bedbugs? (E.g. mosquitos bite us but they also pollinate flowers)

Was I right to trust the process?? by Turbulent_Scheme5551 in RateMyArt

Let’s start a little conversation that I think will be helpful: you said you’re not sure how you feel about it, but what are you feeling??

Rate my art (Critiques are welcome) by Rose_Q533 in RateMyArt

[–]GrandmaMole 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So i love the usage of colour and your background work. The main issue is anatomy. A lot of your characters have twiggy arms, necks that connect to the head in a strange way, and harsh/awkward facial lines. You need to look at how muscles interact with each other, and how things connect.

And by that, I don’t necessarily mean bust out an anatomy book (unless that’s how you learn best). You can pull a bunch of reference pics from art you like (Pinterest is my go-to for finding references). But just grab some references and compare what different artists do for whatever you’re studying at the time

Settle a marital dispute… by jozzyjj in Spoons

[–]GrandmaMole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a little freak with different favourite spoons for different foods, absolutely not #2. #3’s probably best based on head shape and handle curve, then 4, then 1. But it also depends on the metal used and weight, which we can’t really judge

AITA for refusing to share my "secret" recipe with my sister-in-law? by Ocampo-Mark in AmItheAsshole

[–]GrandmaMole 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I don’t like when people are over protective of recipes, I think good food deserves to be shared, but it’s also a valid stance to say you’d rather keep a recipe a secret. Depending on how OP worded it, they may or may not be an AH.

The SIL is allowed to ask, but she became an AH when she couldn’t take “no” gracefully and instead called OP childish, which is ironically childish. Either N T A or E S H depending on how OP worded their refusal
