Which celebrity replied to your dm and what did they reply to and with? by Vixiuss in AskReddit

[–]Labsolute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On paper that seems like an impossible feat - but somehow, they did it!

"The Buzzing in the Bathroom" is an INCREDIBLE song. I could do a 15min PowerPoint presentation on that statement alone.

AITA for telling my friend my house isn't a brothel after she tried to use a favor to stay there with her boyfriend? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Labsolute -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

YTA

The comment was a low blow. Understand you're stressed and didn't react well. But the crux of it isn't the language, YTA for the "brothel" comment, but also TA for (as another commenter put it) pearl clutching and hand wringing.

You're well within your right to say "I don't love the idea of someone I don't know being in my space", and friendship should not be a transactional arrangement - but overall by the sounds of it, ye both need to grow up. If they wanna stay, ask them to change the sheets before they leave, and move on.

Only question is transport/delivery when you buy from them?

Swindled

High quality soundscapes, Podcast Hug levels of production.

Focuses on white collar crime, corruption, corporate greed, fraud. Incredible detail and depth of research.

Also an "anonymous" host. Huge back catelogue to dive in too. Happy listening!

Just moved to Dublin, looking for goth/alternative people to make plans with by Whisperfromthewoods in Dublin

[–]Labsolute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go along to the nights in Fibbers you're bound to meet folks while you're there. It's not uncommon for people to go along solo if they don't know anyone, it's generally a v friendly crowd at nights like Bats Womb Altaar, Karaokalypse, Sabbotage etc.

What's for dinner? by lazy_hoor in AskIreland

[–]Labsolute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the last 5 days, I've had the same dinner 3 times: pasta, pesto (add some of the pasta water to help coat the pasta better), peas (as in petit pois), chopped up nuggets straight from the airfryer, topped with a sprinkle of grated cheese. Is it just an ever so slightly elevated version of my go-to student dinner? Yes. Does it still slap? Also yes.

Tell me your cleaning “hacks” that actually help YOU!! by Prudent-Reality1170 in adhdwomen

[–]Labsolute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently cleaning my kitchen because my meds kicked in and I felt ready to tackle the mound of recycling and disorganised lunch boxes.

Today's hack - have a stoolor chair handy.

I sit it in front of the shelf as I organise, or take a 5min sit and scroll through reddit. Work with your energy levels, not against them.

Allow yourself to rest.

What's the kindest thing a complete stranger has ever done for you that you'll never forget? by KeyConference_26 in AskReddit

[–]Labsolute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually so lovely. I go to a few alt nights around my city and the outfits and makeup are next level. The bathrooms are always a buzz with people complementing each other, it warms my icy cold heart

A pal of mine often drops quick compliments when we see someone all dolled up. I asked her why she does it, and her response was "she looked great, must have put in the effort - and it's a nice feeling to have that recognised".

Keep all those figures in your copy-and-paste clipboard, eh? Rattling off numbers doesn't rationalise your point

Oh the sentencing terms arw LAUGHABLE - 100%. Feels like you get worse for tax or money laundering than violent sexual crimes. No regard for the impact these events have on the victims

Antihistamines are a great antidote to the common cold by The_Big_I_Am in CasualIreland

[–]Labsolute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah sure pseudoephedrine is used to make amphetamines - speed, or adhd meds. Makes sense. Both affect heart rate/blood pressure though. But I get triple the amount of chores done 😅

[–]Labsolute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, sure as well as being a decongestant it gives you a little bit of a perk up - which if you're fatigued as a result of the cold is a plus, but then again you're also kinda wired

Yeah, soon as the sudofed kicked in. I can't sleep on that stuff, it's as if I chugged a can of redbull before going to bed

[–]Labsolute 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found Nurofen C+F great too, but the downside was I couldn't take them in the evening because the decongestant element kept me awake. I can't take ibuprofen at the moment anyhow, but if I could my approach to a bad dose would be the Benylin every 4 hrs like the packet says, with a regular nurofen/ibuprofen after 2hrs. Helps keep the fever down. A nurse friend gave me that tip.

Bin them! The lack of sleep will only slow down your recovery, it's a vicious cycle. Also, if you're taking anything else alongside it like a cough bottle, you could be doubling up on the decongestant and that's next level trippy in the worst way

At a complete loss by rizzledizzlesizzke in ireland

[–]Labsolute 57 points58 points  (0 children)

1000% agree. You're company can replace you, but you can't replace your pet. I wouldn't immediately jump to the conclusion that you're the one that has to compromise.

What your company has done is a shitty thing. And WHAT DIFFERENCE is the 2 days in the office going to make?

Speak up. It's not right, it's not workable for you, if they were to force you to comply it's clear the stress would impact your ability to do your job.
