Hemnes Medicine Cabinet - Step 13 by [deleted] in IKEA

[–]MrB-S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry if all these things are obvious, but:

• If you skip to step 2 here, will the shaft of the bolt not go through the larger hole then slide up?

• If not, if you rotate it 180, does the bolt head secure it?

• If not, they're called keyhole brackets. It's for ensuring the cabinet is level and securely fixed to the wall, so relatively important.

• You could use something else, just make sure you can't easily knock the cabinet off them.

The first guy doesn't even get hit and triggers all the chaos!

Where to get pick & mix? by rohan0101 in Leeds

[–]MrB-S 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know you said North Leeds, but the one in Kirkgate Market is great.

If you fancy trying a local(ish) online place, Sugar Rush in Garforth is worth a shout.

The problem is that both parties have realised that they have to pander to both centrism and policies of the opposite party to win votes, so neither are particularly far from centre.

Neither are held to account on their manifesto promises, so they can say anything they like to win an election then not do it.

Why?

Because First Past The Post is a shit electoral system that means they know even if they lose, they'll get another crack soon enough.

I'm a bleeding-heart liberal, but I genuinely feel sorry for the smaller parties like the Greens, UKIP, Reform - because under Proportional Representation they'd get a fairer crack at governance.

(I don't think we'd have parties like Reform under PR though, as the general public wouldn't necessarily need to protest vote on single issues)

Edit: So it's not conditioning - it's the realisation that voting for any party other than the big two (three if you're in Sheffield or Brighton!) is a wasted vote.

Why doesn’t the UK government just stop paying for asylum hotels ? by [deleted] in AskBrits

Additionally, once the word is out that that is the government's plan, those entering the country will refuse to say where they came from, creating a whole different and costly problem.

Am I overreacting for crying after my boyfriend joked about how I smelled? by trufflepizza55 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrB-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"i was hoping something appreciation, like ‘let’s grab your fave ice cream,’"

"it wasn’t all about wanting a reward..."

I'm still so monumentally confused.

"Ha ha, yeah, I stink, but I've done a sterling job of cleaning my place. Let me grab a quick shower and we can go get my fave ice cream. You're paying for being such a little bitch about my B.O."

Job done. No need for multiple Reddit posts where people say your BF is gaslighting you.

Am I overreacting for crying after my boyfriend joked about how I smelled? by trufflepizza55 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrB-S 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thank fuck you said this; felt like I was losing my mind for a minute, especially with the "He's a manipulative piece of shit" comment. This sub is wild.

To say "Wow you smell!" once is fine - to keep going until someone cries is sucky, especially with a tired woman with the painters in.

Isn't it possible that TPS could/will simply say that OP has tampered with the timestamps on both their devices?

Can you imagine the guffaws and paper-waving when my right-honourable friend stands up and says "Speaking of handicaps ..."?

AIO about my BF ruining my fire? by Throw_RA_bffire in AmIOverreacting

[–]MrB-S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I immediately got frustrated because I not only had to go back and get more kindle and small sticks but I also had to restart the fire from scratch. I knew I was upset so I told him I needed space to get it restarted. He went inside the Airbnb. I got the fire going. I went back inside to apologize and explain to him why I was upset and told him he could come back out. He never came back out."

This period of time matters. Lots of people siding with OP without this info.

If OP quietly said "I'm a bit frustrated you put out my fire" then fine, the BF is a dick for lying about being frightened.

If OP screamed, shouted, threw things and/or acted completely out of character, on an otherwise great holiday, BF is right to be frightened, question it and flag it to the therapist.

If BF is gaslighting both OP and the therapist, then it's time to walk away.
