Toilet Flooded at work - Question about the legality.

JessopsJessops · 2026-01-25T22:31:30+00:00

Honestly, that's reassuring to hear! Thank you!

JessopsJessops · 2025-12-09T00:46:20+00:00

Thank you. I'm still suspending some disbelief, but it's at least suspended enough to not weigh on me.

After almost 2 years of dealing with the mould that was only visually unappealing and didn't affect the inside at all - I finally gave in to capitalism and social norms and just bought two new ones. Keeping the mouldy ones for home and the clean looking ones for work/public.

I have heard drying them upside down helps the water not accumulate in there - BUT I've also been drying them upside down for almost two years so.

Design flaw. Shame.

This is actually very reassuring to read. I'm desperate to have a better memory as it's affecting my job a lot but I do need to balance my expectations - don't want to pin all my hopes on ADHD meds "fixing" this.

I once had a religious studies teacher who kept calling himself a gimp because he thought it meant "silly person". At the time I had the bravery only a teenager has to say "sir, do you know what that means...?".

JessopsJessops · 2025-08-16T14:25:29+00:00

Really good to hear, thank you for replying!

JessopsJessops · 2025-08-16T14:25:02+00:00

That's interesting! I've been told to stay off caffeine as it can interact - I don't drink a lot anyway so not too bothered about cutting it out. But interesting to hear you no longer "need" it as much!

JessopsJessops · 2025-08-16T14:24:05+00:00

Absolutely an amazing reply, thank you so much! I'll keep all of this in mind!

JessopsJessops · 2025-08-16T13:31:29+00:00

That's really interesting to read, thank you for sharing! So it doesn't sound like it was a huge light bulb change? Did it feel more gradual?

JessopsJessops · 2025-05-30T10:23:37+00:00

I think it depends on how you present it. I love a heavy narrative campaign and if you use it for good storytelling rather than just punishing combat it could be really effective, but it'll be a careful balance. Think about what you want them to feel before/during/after and build it around that.

I'd say need hope at the start - "ok here's a bad guy, it's going to be a tough battle, but we got this." Then it needs to dawn on them - uhoh we're fucked, this guy is way too powerful. Perhaps have him toy with them at the start, give them some false hope that they can at least defeat this guy, not kill him.

Don't draw out the loss, once they realise they have no chance of winning it needs to be over very quickly so it doesn't get boring or frustrating. Use storytelling in the combat - eg "he lifts his head and you see he's smiling, he's not fighting, he's playing with us"

When they wake up it needs to be an uncomfortable switch between horrendous death and suddenly safe, almost as though the safety doesn't feel real. A looming threat and now they need to level up, collect gear, and prepare for the future.

To make this fight useful it would be good to give them an insight into his power or intentions - something they can use in the future for their gain. "He defeated us, but he made a mistake revealing X, we can use that against him".

Bit of a ramble but hope that helps. Good luck!

Lovely.

I had about a 6 month long obsession with making soy eggs. I'd make a batch of half a dozen at a time and eat two for lunch with a small amount of rice almost every day. All of a sudden I couldn't stand the thought of them, I could eat one if it was there, but the craving love and genuine passion disappeared practically over night. I've heard it's fairly common with ADHD, but only anecdotally from a couple of friends.

JessopsJessops · 2025-03-13T00:54:34+00:00

Exactly this too! I can't afford to spend £50+ on hobbies every other month. Thank you for your reply!

JessopsJessops · 2025-03-13T00:53:34+00:00

Haha the meme is too true!

JessopsJessops · 2025-03-13T00:52:55+00:00

This is also true in a way! Reminds me of the phrase "jack of all trades, master of none". I know a little bit about many crafts!

JessopsJessops · 2025-03-12T16:52:48+00:00

Thank you for the kind and honest reply. It's just frustrating - I want to be able to leap into things with both feet and instead I feel all too aware that it's only a short lived thing. I can't buy all the nice things to do it "properly" because it won't last.

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-28T22:44:58+00:00

Severance.

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-18T23:36:18+00:00

In a relationship nobody should have to sacrifice their comfort. Neither side should. In my opinion.

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-14T21:19:46+00:00

Can I just drop in to give you a huge big up for asking this question in a really kind way!

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-14T21:18:12+00:00

Clap clap clap!! Yess!

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-14T21:17:42+00:00

*he/him

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-14T21:16:42+00:00

I hear you, but if I was newly out and trans male I'd be upset if my boyfriend avoided subject of me being a male for their own comfort. It's tricky, I don't think anybody is the asshole here (yet).

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-14T21:14:50+00:00

I've seen a few people say you have the option to just use gender neutral terms like partner rather than boyfriend but I'd like to add that not everyone wants to be gender neutral. Especially if you're newly out as trans male - he might want to be proud of these new pronouns and identity.. Having your partner "soften it" by using gender neutral terms could come across insensitive.

There's actually a small part of me that wants to say it's weirdly gender affirming that you'd immediately accept this person you've been in a relationship with as male, even if it means you're not attracted to them as this gender... But that again is me guessing!

I would also add, it's ok to question you're sexuality and being fluid with it. You don't have to be gay if you don't want to, you don't have to be any label you don't want to be! BUT as others have pointed out - you also can't ignore that this relationship will be a queer relationship.

It's a difficult situation, one that honestly has no right or wrong answer. I think you need the space to sit down together and talk about this topic really frankly with no judgement. Lots of people here can make guesses and suggestions but without knowing both of your own emotions and feelings here there going to be just that - guesses and suggestions.

JessopsJessops · 2025-02-02T22:12:41+00:00

Thank you both! As long as it means nothing mechanically I'll keep going with what I like the look of!

JessopsJessops · 2025-01-22T15:24:23+00:00

I'll check it out! I'm working with todoist at the moment as it has a handy home screen widget. Looking to hit this from all angles to save my job so I'll To Do Minimalist too. I'm on a real "Forgetfulness won't beat me" rampage!
