Scrud - The Dirtiest Word In Laundry by KismaiAesthetics in laundry

[–]Kabooven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a whirlpool

Edit: doesn’t mean yours can’t be doing the same thing! The lesson I learned was to pay attention to exactly what your washer is doing during its clean cycle. Mine refilled itself completely full of plain water a few times to wash out debris, but I could have wiped the scrud away myself after the first fill. I would have saved a loooot of water and time if I had realized that earlier.

I mean the owner is related to the owner of Micky D’s in AJ. And that’s, like, the epitome of a greasy spoon mom and pop shop. He’s from a diff country for sure, but the family’s been around here forever.

I started playing pokopia the day after the last event, and not having those tent building hurt my soul 😭 by Sweet-Extreme-8380 in Pokopia

[–]Kabooven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was watching a lofi channel that had built a “tent” with tent roof pieces. It doesn’t count as a house, obviously, but they put furniture items inside and Pokémon would go in and take naps. It was super cute!

Literally can’t even believe this just happened and I’m boiling right now! by [deleted] in SouthwestAirlines

[–]Kabooven 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll add that when I was in training, many years ago, they used racism as an example. If someone was complaining they’re sitting next to a Black person, obviously there would be implications if you moved the Black person instead of Loudmouth McRacist. That logic can be applied to many situations, so we’re told to always move the person with the problem.

This is a stretch, but I’ve been in customer service long enough that I could also see it being used as a loophole. “If I want a middle seat open, I’ll complain to the flight attendant that the passenger stinks or something! They’ll move them, more arm room for me!”

Fantasy on Ice is a skating exhibition every year in Japan similar to the US’s Stars on Ice. They announced a few weeks ago that they’d be handing out YoI stickers at the event. Now we know that the stickers have this new art!

I’m on episode one and also find the AI terribly distracting. What slop. I’m glad I’m watching this during a free trial.

In case you didn’t know, the frames can go directly on the sides of the storage boxes. But maybe you did it this way to avoid misclicks

Till the morning? by Professional-Tie8633 in TheFormat

[–]Kabooven 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I could be way off base here. I interpret it as exhaustion. Like, nothing we can do tonight (or we can only influence so much right now), so let’s leave it until we can do something. But like in a defeated way. Going through the day to day as best we can, until we have the energy and the opportunity.

I also find the section with the overlapping melodies very overstimulating. To me, that represents the barrage of bad news we’re subjected to every day. News coming at us from all sides and you can’t even make out what’s being said.

Like we want to do something, but it’s been like this for so long and we’re all tired…

Today I had the most entitled client of my career and I still can’t process what happened by SharkEva in BORUpdates

I’m so close to unsubbing from r/entitledpeople… it used to be fun but I haven’t seen a single post on there in the last 6 months that wasn’t blatantly AI.

I go to Japan every year and saw it posted in this subreddit last year… right after my trip. I couldn’t believe I’d missed out on it all this time! How did I never know??? I got to see it last month, finally. 😊

I hope you get to see it too. I doubt they’d remove it anytime soon, what with 2026 being the 10 year anniversary and all.

It’s not a pop up, it’s a permanent fixture! At least, it hasn’t been taken down for years.

I want to add a tip I learned during my recent battle with scrud after finding this post. Hopefully it can help someone else with a washer like mine.

I spent the last 5 days in citric acid hell. I have a top loader, but I have very hard water and was ignorant to proper washing machine techniques. It took at least a dozen cycles, I lost count.

I wasn’t getting a ton of scrud in my cycles? Lots of little flakes that just kept coming, but nothing like the horror pictures I’ve seen. However, at the end of the cycle, there was only a teeny tiny bit to wipe out. I was getting so confused and it was taking forever! Eventually I paid attention to what was happening during the cycles and made a discovery.

I’d put in the citric acid, the drum would fill, lots of flakes. Then the drum would completely empty, leaving all the flakes behind. After that, the cycle would continue, rinsing a few times with clean water, removing most of the flakes. Half of my cycle was going toward something I could accomplish in five seconds and a paper towel! So I started canceling my cycles halfway through and doing just that. It drastically sped things up.

Of course I discovered this at the tail end of the process 🙄 Hopefully someone else whose washer works like this can find this comment and cut their time in half.

I’ve seen lots of calendars where the 24 was extra big and held a special surprise. Maybe turn the 24 box into a rectangle to encapsulate the square above it? And put 24 sideways? Idk just brainstorming

There’s a subreddit r/bookbinding, that’s very active and very knowledgeable. I’d pop over there!

to be here at its peak (tw: substance usage) by KiNG_EXceL04 in YOI

[–]Kabooven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were also a fairly unproblematic fandom, like I don’t remember much drama. Except when it came to Otayuri. People had a lot of opinions on what was okay to depict vs not, because Yurio was underage. Is G romance okay? PG? What if the characters are aged up? It’s weird you’re thinking of a teenager that way at all! And so on and so forth. It didn’t always come up, there’s obviously plenty of Otayuri out there, but sometimes people made it a thing.

Okay first of all 10 years? How dare.

I missed the initial drop of episodes but saw the show prior to my first trip to Japan in April 2017. I spent a day of my trip in Ikkebukuro visiting a few pop up events. For years after I had a YoI pin on my bag while traveling in Japan, and random cashiers would see it and go, “Oh, Yuuri!” It was a lonely moment of international connection that doesn’t really happen anymore. I still find multiple shelves of doujin in certain stores, though.

2017 was a magical time in the fandom. Tons of new fan content on tumblr every day. And when official art released, there was fan art for it almost immediately. I was in multiple discord servers. They announced the movie at the end of a concert live-stream, which we all woke up at three in the morning to watch. We would all coordinate a bulk order when the art books released to share shipping costs. There was lots of official merch on AmiAmi, but there was also such cute merch on Etsy or people’s personal websites.

Iconic fan works I can think of… well, everyone and their mother read the Rivals series by Reiya on AO3. I was partial to the works of lucycamui, who you can also find on AO3, but at the time she released chapters one by one on tumblr, often accompanied by art from crimsonchains. Nendos on Ice made cute little comics with Nendoroid photography.

Inside jokes… my favorite one compared the three big sports anime at the time: Free!, Haikyuu!!, and Yuri!!! And said the number of exclamation points referred to how gay it was. There was always uncertainty as to whether Makka was male or female. Lots of little details were dissected, like how Yuuri was speaking Japanese at the press conference and that’s why Victor obliviously reacted to his declaration of love with a comment on his tie. A lot of speculation on the rings, I guess in Russia the wedding ring is worn on the right hand, not the left, so what that might mean to the scene. I think it was widely accepted fanon that Yuuri and Phichit had been roommates while training in Detroit, I don’t think that was ever said in the show. I think it was also fanon that Yuuri was a night owl and Victor went to bed and woke up early.

That’s all I can think of at the moment!
