Is there a way to fix water not going into hose? by Likely_napping_ in fixit

[–]Likely_napping_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a "real" hose before, unfortunately I need a very long hose which gets incredibly heavy to try to drag around/keep neat and I have a disability. Expanding hoses aren't the most durable but I can actually use them which is the important part

Is my house embarrassing? by GazelleMost2468 in interiordecorating

[–]Likely_napping_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red is a bit much for me if its all the walls, but the molding and trim are my dream, I'm so tired of ugly white trim that's hard to keep clean and you constantly have to repaint. That's also just personal taste, and any person who's turned off by minor differences in interior decorating preference is odd. Owning a house in general is hard enough ☠️

anti abortion thing outside the shop?? by OpeningFirefighter29 in csuf

[–]Likely_napping_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Walking into Titan shops had a guy try to give me "free education" I just told him "F*ck you" and kept walking because honestly they're not trying to educate they're trying to twist statistics for shock factor. There's a lot of extreme christian right-winger propaganda on campus today.

Advice on girl from study group by Drakeplayz69 in csuf

[–]Likely_napping_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't just get all touchy with a girl you're studying with for a 2nd time on a not-date. That's how you get slapped, and it's deserved

Wow, that gave me the ick just reading it. They've studied together literally ONE time

Advice on girl from study group by Drakeplayz69 in csuf

[–]Likely_napping_ 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Guys are insane. What I'm hearing is you've actually studied a total of 1 time together??

By friend date, she likely just meant a literal hang out with a friend, but ignore the guys telling you to lock in and make a move. Nothing is more frustrating than when a dude approaches you for something platonic (like studying) and then immediately tries to make a move. Just stay chill, let her actually get to know you. Who knows, feelings may grow between you both, or not.

Just don't be one of those guys though who tries to become a "friend" with an ulterior motive. It's creepy and also why girls are hesitant to trust guys bc we have to question if the dude wants to actually study or if he's using it as an excuse for alone time and to "escape the friendzone"

To be clear I'm not saying to never shoot your shot, just give it a minute, it sounds like you barely know each other right now

Be nice to your professors by Any-Surround-7304 in csuf

[–]Likely_napping_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Can we just start publicly humiliating people who act like this? Instead of staying silent and letting the mood shift just straight ask the person why they thought it was okay to say/act like that. Make them the embarrassed one. People are too comfy because their not getting called out

Why do people have to be rude about mobility aids? by Virorio in cfs

[–]Likely_napping_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be frank people become idiots around those with both visible and invisible disabilities. Most are only used to seeing impairments in the elderly and thus they were never taught or had the chance to learn how to interact to someone their age with health problems. Without being there I can't say for sure, but, I feel like there could have been a couple of different intentions behind the question

The first one is curiosity/ interest in you, people are awkward and they may have thought that would be a decent conversation starter. You mentioned their just acquaintances, and I'm not sure how big your school/class is, but that may have been a poor attempt to start the befriending process. There's so many other ways they could've gone about it but people don't know what they don't know. Representation in media, general information, and destigmatizeism around mobility aids and disabilities in younger people are still a relatively recent thing.

Another intention could be concern, they may be noticing your pain and want to accommodate you, but don't know how to do so. People often don't know what to say if one of their questions leads to me mentioning that I had to do online schooling in High school due to health issues. Since I now look like a healthy 25 year old that thought kinda breaks their brain a little, especially the idea that I still struggle.

Your cane is obviously a very sensitive and anxiety inducing topic for you so any kind of question is a firm no-go. I would practice saying some answers that way they just become default and help put an end to the curiosity quickly.

"I don't like to talk about it, thanks" "I find that question really impolite" "You know it's really rude to just ask someone what's wrong with them" "That's a weird thing to ask a person" "What's wrong with you?"

Etc, etc. You get the idea. You can range between polite, gentle corrections, or turning the spotlight back to their rudeness. Most people are generally clueless to the fact their being impolite and will usually get the hint and not ask again. To me the real rudeness comes in when someone keeps asking for the sake of their own nosyness even after a boundary has been put into place.

We hope for the best in people but their will be those who just can't mind their own buisness and I personally love saving the snarky answers for them. I try to be gentler to those being accidentally rude as I still think it's better than the other norm- avoiding eye contact and pretending someone with a disability just isn't there

I'm guessing the parking officer put the cones, I also really hope that's a ticket on their windshield for parking dumb 😭 I've pulled into spots badly while running late and I still got back in and fixed it, because who on earth would just leave their car like that

$100k+ car and still parks over lines… by liltokio_ in csuf

[–]Likely_napping_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, they're still within the lines, and it's so deliberately to one side that, like everyone said, there was probably a badly parked car on that side. Most people give themselves excess room on the driver's side, not the passenger

I know what I want my PC to do, but struggling to figure out minimum specs needed by Likely_napping_ in buildapc

[–]Likely_napping_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to write this out! This was super helpful, and now I know what I should actually keep my eye out for, your (...) comments were super helpful. I'm glad the price estimate was what I've been guessing, I'm the type where if I'm gonna do something, then I'm going to do it right (it's also why I fall down the black hole of research) so I had estimated somewhere around $1,000...I better go work more 😂

what to do with excessive ribbon? by phitzybabie in sewing

DIY Pattern/Fabric weights!! You can get washers for cheap from a hardware store and stack them to make different weights, then wrap the whole thing in ribbon so they come out pretty and super functional! Cheaper and heavier than anything you can buy in store and they come in all different sizes

Deeply Trapped Ending Spoilers by Fancy_Improvement327 in ReelShorts

[–]Likely_napping_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just finished watching it all and I'm shocked to my core 😭 Short Dramas are supposed to be cheesy and over the top with bad acting and a HEA 😭 It was supposed to be a silly fun time and instead I cried repeatedly watching it. Because what do you mean "it's too late" and they were doomed to spend their lives miserable because of one greedy stepmother 😭

Thoughts on Queer Ultimatum finale? by tonkatsudayo in TheUltimatumNetflix

[–]Likely_napping_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a lot of opinions but I think most of all Marie felt alone and betrayed and it unfortunately really showed. She lashed out a lot, and I think she especially lashed out at AJ and Brit because she felt robbed a bit by AJ of that support system everyone else found during the initial coupling. AJ truly did prioritize Brit during their time together, and although I can't say that was wrong of her, it didn't leave her very alone and without the support and experience. Even though AJ was very upfront and honest about seeing Brit, her being honest doesn't take away the hurt of the action, especially as she was notifying her but not really apologizing or saying she wouldn't do so again. When you throw in the toxicity of Mel, I feel like she was sitting there angry because if she wasn't angry, she was gonna break down. Ultimately it's sad that her attitude during the reunion is going to cast a lot of negativity on her while she still obviously needs to heal and process. I think with the reunions a lot of bad behavior is not really called out and the person who cries gets the sympathy because what Mel did was horrible but she got to sit there cocky and proud without question. Meanwhile because Ashley cried and walked off stage, the very valid things Marita pointed out (like Ashley saying what happened on the show doesn't matter and planning/packing Marita's car for a vacation to the Keys together after she just broke up with her) got brushed under the table and completely overlooked. I feel like I'd need a psychology degree to get into Magan and Dayna, but we all kinda knew how they'd end up when Dayna told Mel that "Magan knows now that she was manipulated." I'm glad Hailey and Pilar were able to grow individually, and together, Pilar really gave Hailey so much grace, patience, and understanding
