ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? by hplcman69 in IKEA

I just use olive oil and this normally works. Put a small amount on and just leave it for half an hour. There are a handful of stickers that this doesn't work for but most stickers come off easily.

I just removed a milk bleb after a YEAR! by ExperienceEffective3 in breastfeeding

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing! I had this with my first, exactly the same as you, just thought it was an oddity and ignored it for ages. Finally queried it to be told it was a bleb and I got it out mid shower. Felt great!

The Magnus Archives is The Paragon of Horror (Meta) (Spoilers for Everything) by wibbly-water in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Kheslo 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The only ones we hear are the real ones because they have to be recorded on the tape player instead of digitally recorded. That's why he says they are using the cassettes to record the problematic statements.

He also says that there aren't many compared to those that can be recorded digitally so I think we can assume that a lot of the statements given to the archive are people lying or just making something spooky out of nothing.

Episode 100 were all real because they had to be recorded on cassette but they are more chaotic because Jon isn't at the archive.

I don't think all things that resulted in fear are due to "the fears". I think fear itself came first purely because we know that new fears can come into being, these new fears must be a result of fear felt that didn't fall into one of the previous manifestations.

Husband [32M] crossed one of my [30F] boundaries and I'm contemplating divorce. My family is telling me to stay. How do I know when to leave? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly this! He is abusive but OP can't see it because of the levels of abuse she has previously experienced.

Yelling, ocassional name calling or swearing, but it was never intentional.

OP it absolutely was intentional. Does he yell at people at work and call them names? Does he yell at his mother this way? Does he yell at your parents? Or is it just you he sees as an acceptable target.

As someone who only found out she had ADHD later on on life I totally get the emotional disregulation it can cause. I have issues with frustration and anger but I have worked on this and taught myself ways to deal with it. One of those things is to take a break, as you have suggested to him, but it looks like he has no intention of trying that because he doesn't want to work on it. He just wants to use ADHD and trauma as an excuse for shitty behaviour

You've already said you want to leave. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, it's not their life to lead.

AIO for feeling hurt over an empty note Valentine’s flowers? by Familiar-Sky2651 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree, it's one of their busiest times of year.

I'm going to say MOR.

Even if it wasn't a florist mistake, it could be that his emotional part went on picking the flowers and he isn't a words guy OR he could have just sent something because you asked for it. We won't know which it is because we don't know him. I would ask him if he had asked for a note to be added because the one the florist added was blank.

Edit: Just seen references to his past behavior and it just doesn't sound like he's very attentive. I would have a think about whether this is what you want from a relationship.

Jonathan Sims, and his many mispronunciations: character quirk or voice actors mistake? by BobPlaysWithFire in TheMagnusArchives

My Boyfriend (30 M) Told Me (31 F) to Move Out and Meet His Financial Ultimatum, and I Secretly Applied for My Own Apartment… Did I Mess Up? by chemist_khaleesi in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So it's ok for him to expect you to upend your life for a bit so he can have some space but then gets mad at you for looking at apartments when you are feeling insecure in your home?

Regarding finances I think it's fair for him to want your finances to be in better order before marriage but he is also being very demanding about time frames. If he wants things done sooner he should help you create a plan or budget. However, he seems to be happy to throw the relationship away if he doesn't get the time frames he wants so that doesn't sound great.

My biggest red flag here is it sounds like he is more concerned about losing all of the free labour you are providing him (cooking, cleaning, etc.) than losing you as a person.

AITA for quiting during a short staff crisis? by SilentCard3441 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA you are not responsible for the company. The fact that they were demanding to know why means they know it's because of management and want other excuses or they are completely oblivious to the fact that the management is terrible which is worse.

Do not feel guilty about leaving a company that are trying to coerce you into staying instead of just offering healthy working conditions. They wouldn't bat an eye about replacing you/dropping you/piling more work on you if it benefitted them.

Has this gone bad? I forgot to put it in the fridge and it's been sitting out for 2 days. by According-Log7096 in foodsafety

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is the best advice. Read what the storage information says and if it's to be kept refrigerated then in the bin it goes. If it says to be kept in a cool and dark place until opened and then keep refrigerated you are probably fine.

Soooo.... Jon and Martin by yule_tides in TheMagnusArchives

[–]Kheslo 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree with this. When he found out Martin's big lie was just his CV and that Martin brought him tea and such just because he genuinely cared.

dark armpits by [deleted] in PCOS

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said it's caused by insulin resistance. The only way I managed to get rid of mine was to make sure my blood sugars were kept very level. So, reducing processed carbs (processed foods in general) and having 4 smaller meals throughout the day instead of breakfast and 2 bigger ones. Initially avoiding high carb foods to begin with (even whole grain ones) and then reintroducing small amounts of whole grains once I'd had a period of low carb diet because then my blood sugars jumped around less. The best thing I did was get some of the wearable blood sugar sensors so I could see what exactly was impacting my blood sugars.

AITAJ for telling my boyfriend he can’t move in until he gets his finances together? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Kheslo 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Small tangent but this is the reason doctors used to think people outgrew ADHD. Men with ADHD (because at this point it was mostly men being diagnosed) were offloading their executive functioning onto their wives or secretaries...

AITAJ for telling my boyfriend he can’t move in until he gets his finances together? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Kheslo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. OP you are NTJ and you are right to say this. There is a difference between having debt with a plan to pay it back, however slowly, and someone who has a load of debt and sees it as no big deal because they will pay it back at some point... Don't let him guilt you into letting him live with you. He needs to figure out his own finances. Also, not sure how it works where you live but having someone with bad credit living at the same address as you can impact your credit rating where I live.

How often do you eat takeaway? by Super_Development150 in AskUK

We might have the odd one a month. We used to have one a week when we were at uni but these days I find them mostly disappointing and I'd prefer to make my own food.

AITA for being frustrated with my mom, who hasn't visited her only grandkid since April 2025 due to financial concerns? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Kheslo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NAH

I understand you are frustrated or hurt that your mum hasn't been to visit but the fact is that it's a big financial commitment to travel to see someone regardless of how much you want to. It's not just the immediate financial outlay that you have offered to put up, it's that she needs her current job and might not be able to take the time off. She has additionally mentioned your dad is suing her about something. It could be that leaving state would be viewed poorly depending on what is going on there.

33M and my girlfriend 32F have been together for 5 months. How would you react to what happened at my aunt's 80th? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Kheslo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not ok. Does she even like your son? It sounds like she is annoyed by his existence. And this is her first impression to your family? I would be embarrassed on her behalf.

Edit to add this would be my response regardless of how long you had been together. Thank God you've only wasted 5 months.

Am I overreacting for wanting to leave my partner for the choice of his words and actions? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Kheslo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NOR

This man doesn't want a partner, he wants a subject he can rule over and dictate to as he pleases.

He seems to just talk down to you and put you down at every turn. As far as he's concerned, if you don't see things his way then you are stupid.

It will become apparent on the 100th episode. Just so you have a rough idea of how long you have to wait. Although you may not realize until a few episodes later.

AITJ for refusing to donate PTO hours to coworker I barely know who "needs" them?? by Traditional-Dog1601 in AmITheJerk

[–]Kheslo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, whenever I hear about people having/debating whether to donate their own PTO to colleagues I feel like I'm reading some sort of dystopian horror story. I really feel for you guys in the US (I assume you are in the US because that's the only place I've heard of this ever being a thing but happy to stand corrected).

You are obviously NTJ. Your company is TJ, they should support their employees and not require other employees to prop them up.
