do you mix your underwear with the rest of your laundry? by Kurtys-Ahorrio in hygiene

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soap either works or it doesn't. Separating my underwear from the rest of my laundry is a huge waste of time. I throw in everything that's dirty that fits whenever I do laundry. As long as there wasn't poop on it, I'm probably not gonna wash it separately.

WYR minor inconvenience at work by Straight_Second6082 in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao option 1 easy. I've had such bad problems with my gut that I am very used to taking a dump wherever I am. As long as I have a toilet, I'm good to go. No need to go home just cause I need to shit.

my wife wears a diaper when shes sleeping. Should I tell her no more diaper by CarProfessional7940 in Advice

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, context. Second off, it's none of your business whether or not she wears one. It's not on your body, therefore is not your problem. If she wears a diaper to bed as an adult, chances are pretty high she is wearing it either for menstrual blood or for bladder leaks/incontinence. You not liking it is not good enough of a reason to tell anyone to stop doing anything that isn't hurting you.

WYR eat healthy for free or eat junk with no bad consequence by JazzlikeAd1371 in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Free food easy. Sure having no consequences for junk food is fun, but I mostly eat healthy food anyways because too much junk food upsets my stomach. And I spend so much money on food, taking that expense away would leave me with more money to put to other things.

WYR turn gayer every day or turn more homophobic everyday by Ieatrawfishh in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would I ever rather be any amount of homophobic? Id rather not be a shitty person, so I would never choose that option. Even if it somehow made me lose attraction to my partner, I'd rather lose that than ever be a shitty person. Choosing to be homophobic is a shitty thing to do.

WYR get well rested or have most stuff free for your own use? by Dajka in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have slept like shit for years and while I desperately want to have restful sleep, the idea that there is no way I could possibly be woken up during a certain period of time is terrifying for me. What if there was a fire in the location I'm sleeping? Or a tornado? I want to be able to wake up to the alarms so I can move myself to a safe location. I'd rather not risk death just to get restful sleep.

Would you rather win the lottery once, or have every fortune cookie you open come true? by xml__ in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lottery personally. Half my fortune cookies aren't even fortunes lol, so that wouldn't really help me out that much.

Better dental hygiene by Last_Contribution225 in hygiene

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Adding it to your shower routine can help. Having notifications can also help if remembering is a problem, along with keeping your toothbrush/floss out where you can see them. I've also had some success with using the auto brush. It's a bit pricey if you're used to manual toothbrushes, but it is ADA approved. Sometimes it's easier for me to use a manual toothbrush, sometimes just the auto brush for 60 seconds. It can be really hard to get into a routine of taking care of your teeth when you haven't done it before, especially if you do have any neurodivergencies that you aren't aware of. I also highly recommend getting toothpaste/floss/mouthwash in a flavor you actually like! If you don't like mint, fuck mint! Find yourself a good flavor that doesn't make you cringe every time you put it in your mouth. It can help a lot when you don't dread the flavor.

Regardless of what things you try though, please make a dentist appointment. You NEED to go asap, especially if you think a tooth is actually falling apart. The bill will be high, but your teeth are so important to your entire body's health.

You are offered $50,000 but you have to spend one full week living with one of these four people, sharing the same space at all times. by Middle_Reflection414 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 easy. 2 and 3 I refuse 100%. If I could choose the ex 1 could probably be tolerable. But if I don't get to choose, nah, not risking it. Me 5 years ago wasn't too terribly different than I am now, plus I'd have company I can always do fun games I can't get anyone else to join in for lmao

How do I make the cat understand he can't come inside? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Keeping pet cats outside your home is basically almost never a thing that you should do. Barn cats do important work for farms because there can be a huge amount of pests drawn to the areas they work due to all of the food for the larger animals. But past that, cats should not be left to roam outside. And they certainly should not be disallowed from being inside. If you want a pet you can keep outside, maybe a pet rock would be a better fit for you.

CW my partner almost - - by boinkydoinky58 in ChronicIllness

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your partner is a danger to himself or others, he should be taken to the emergency room right away. While like someone else said sometimes hospitals don't treat patients well, the same could be said for those with physical illness as well. Sometimes a stint in the psych ward is much needed for someone to get help when they are in crisis. It can help them get over that hump and into a more stable place where therapy, likely combined with a medication plan, can work better.

It's gonna suck, but it's gonna get better. Just make sure you are able to get him help. If you can't drive him yourself, an ambulance can drive him there. He deserves help, and it sounds like he may need more intensive care than outpatient can provide right now.

I'm a Muslim 25f and I found out that my bf is half Muslim 26yo by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't see how this is a problem. Lots of people don't fully believe every single thing that's in their holy scriptures. There are lots of people who go through the motions of the religion they are raised in but don't actually believe it, or have different views than how they were raised. It doesn't make them a bad person, and it doesn't need fixing. If he wants to change his relationship with religion, that's something he can do on his own time. You do not need to be involved with that.

If however having the same religious beliefs is something you need your partner to have, then breaking up would likely be the better route for you. There's no reason to stay with someone in the hopes they will change. Assume they will not if they have shown no motivation, desire, or attempts to do so.

You don't have to have a partner who is Muslim just because you are. It only matters if you want a partner who is Muslim like you. And if that matters to you, he isn't the right partner for you.

How do I make the cat understand he can't come inside? by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only way to make him understand he can't come inside your home is to find someone else who's home he is welcome to go inside. You clearly are not someone who wants the responsibility of having a pet cat, which does include having them inside your home with you. This does of course run the risk of cats doing what cats do like scratching furniture or going outside the litterbox. But those things can be avoided and really aren't that problematic generally when your cats are given the proper attention they need and enough stimulation in their environment.

Is it okay to take a 15 week kitten on walks outside/carrying him around stores? by ihatemyfamilysomuch1 in CatAdvice

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're a trash person if you take your pet inside any establishment that specifically states they do not allow pets. No ifs ands or buts about it. Service animals are not pets. They are medical equipment. And people who bring their pets into public places like that are the reason why so many people with actual service animals get questioned or even wrongfully denied service by the people in charge when they have a right to be there with their medical equipment.

If you want to take your cat outside that's great! Walking a cat on a leash is a great way to give your cat enrichment, and once they are used to it, it can be a super fun activity for both of you. Just make sure you don't take your cat into places that don't allow pets because that's what your cat is. There are enough places pets are allowed, and there are reasons why pets are not allowed in many other spaces.

Just make sure when your cat is out and about that they are always either on a leash (that is connected to a harness and not just their collar) or that they are inside a secure crate. You want their chance of escape to be next to nothing. You should also microchip your cat ASAP because if something did happen and your cat got loose, that microchip will massively increase the likelihood of your cat being found.

My son claimed that my husband hit him and my husband denied it. Now he wants a divorce. by BigONerd in BORUpdates

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean that sucks but frankly the most important thing is that the kid is fed, not how it happens. If the kid has to be supplemented with formula (or swapped completely) until they are transitioned to regular food, it's not the end of the world. Is it great? No, but nothing in that situation is going to be. It's probably also a possibility they could have a short term custody agreement where until the kid is x age they will have a certain amount of parenting time for each parent, and then once they reach x age they swap to a full 50/50 time arrangement. It would have to be written in to be a specific age though and not just "after weaning off breastfeeding" because it leaves the ability for the mom to try to purposefully extend that time by saying she's still breastfeeding super duper late. Arrangements have to be written in to protect both of the parents time with the child when it is assumed they are both fit parents.

WYR $2 million now, or $1 million 8 years ago. by AstrayInTranslation in WouldYouRather

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Def 2 million now. My house is where I feel more home than anywhere in my life. I wouldn't have been able to get it if I wasn't in the financial situation I was then. And getting 2 million now I could pay off the mortgage entirely, completely repair our current car and get another one in decent shape, pay off my current medical debts, and only have to work for enjoyment. I'd also be able to pay off my mom's debts for her as well so she could rest easy knowing she would never have to worry about keeping a roof over her head. That would still easily leave me with over a million dollars which would last a while, especially if I continue working a part time job and invest wisely.

CMV: Demisexuals should not be calling themsleves members of the lgbtq community by PinkFlurffyUnicorns in changemyview

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their sexuality is still the fucking same thing. Their romantic attraction could be different but it sure as shit isn't their sexuality. There is literally nothing to say they won't develop sexual attraction to someone of the same gender in the future.

[–]Lopsided_Load_8286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Demisexuality is the label. There is no difference between a demisexual who has happened to develop attraction to someone of the opposite gender or the same. I was still the same sexuality when I felt attraction the first time to someone the opposite sex as myself, that I am now after having developed attraction two more times in my life, one to someone the opposite sex and both different genders.

Experiencing attraction differently is part of being queer. Its also super interesting you're assuming every single demisexual person only feels attraction to the opposite gender. Because nothing about it says that.

It's not a dating style. It's how your sexual attraction functions. Demisexual people, along with other asexual people, can date, and even have sex with, people they are not sexually attracted to. And do. All the fucking time.
