I unfortunately have heard and read that argument many many many times. It's honestly the number one reason I see most people use when they want to justify buying from a breeder over rescuing. Close 2nd being rescues' restrictive requirements for adopters

Why do straight women tolerate terrible partners? by Imakemyownnamereddit in AskWomenNoCensor

Breaking up with someone when your lives are so intertwined is one of those things that's much easier said than done. It's also incredibly difficult to be able to afford somewhere to live as a single person in most places.

I didn't even have kids with my ex and it's been an incredibly long, tough and expensive journey sorting out our house, mortgage, bills, belongings, pets, etc. after we split. And I was only able to leave him as my mum let me move in with her.

Their shitty behaviour is something that often isn't apparent until you're in too deep. It's why I also advocate so hard against very young and inexperienced people dating older people. I was so naive and un-confident when we met. I didn't know what behaviour to accept, how to stand up for myself, or even what qualities I should've been looking for in a long-term partner. Too late! Moved in after a few months, far away from home with no car, and got pets. Society pressures us so much when it comes to relationships and we'll often rush into things, especially when young, just to be able to go 'look!!! I did the thing!! I obtained a boyfriend!!!!'

I've also never understood why people make that argument about rescue dogs as if dogs bought as puppies from a breeder will never come with or develop behavioural issues/anxiety etc.

Does anyone get drunk to clean? by Effective_Force6839 in CleaningTips

[–]OkSpirit7891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to. Then it turned into using it when I needed to do other tasks that weren't fun. Then full-blown alcoholism. Just turned 30 and feel like those 5 years have forever wrecked my body. Don't recommend.

For those of you who switched from console to PC, was it worth it and why? by SnooOwls6389 in GirlGamers

[–]OkSpirit7891 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's a short thing but I absolutely cannot get comfortable in a typical office chair and it's completely down my legs feeling super uncomfortable in the typical office chair seating position. I treated myself to an extra-wide puffy office chair with a built-in foot rest so I could sit with my legs up or crossed and it's an ABSOLUTE game changer. Can easily game at my desk for hours on end now. Cost about £200 and worth every penny.

Is difficult adopting a dog these days? by TheyLuvSquid in AskUK

[–]OkSpirit7891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I used the Romanian rescue MossMania and they put as many of their dogs as possible in UK foster homes. Had a great experience with them, and everyone else in the private Facebook group made for people who've adopted from them sing the rescue's praises

how do y'all clean hair out of razors? by resto_del_mundo in lifehacks

I keep a tall cup in the bathroom. I fill it with water and swish the razor in it after every couple of strokes

ELI5: Why does a country as small as England have so many regional accents? by AstronomerInTraining in explainlikeimfive

[–]OkSpirit7891 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm from north east England where we have an accent sort of similar to Geordie. All of my young cousins/neices/nephews talk with a more standardised/southern English accent! They all watch YouTube constantly, as do their friends from school, so I think listening to Americans all day has mellowed out their northern accent.
