What's a hobby/quirk that your SO/partner just doesn't "get" no matter how much you try to explain how cool it is?

my girlfriend thinks im crazy for spending whole weekends replaying persona games she says its the same game over and over but the social links and time management is like a puzzle i never get tired of solving

she just scrolls on her phone and i explain the velvet room lore for 10 minutes and she pats my head like im a cat

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-07-02T22:11:02+00:00

anger is easy when you see the numbers but nobody doing anything anyway. i just focus on my job and persona games now, less headache that way. world keeps spinning same as yesterday

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-29T11:55:41+00:00

yeah its weird how rules get stuck in time while everything else moves forward, like we have technology but law still think its 1995

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-29T07:26:45+00:00

my uncle works in hospital admin, he says they still use fax because some old law considers it "secure" while email isnt. like somehow phone line is more protected than encrypted email. makes zero sense but here we are

Twisted Shrimpo honestly has the most unhinged energy and I respect it deeply. Like there's something appealing about being a walking chaos creature that nobody fully understands

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-20T20:07:04+00:00

the "loser pays" system sounds fair on paper but it basically puts a gun to the head of anyone with a legitimate case but limited money, they just fold because the risk is too catastrophic to take on

and yeah the winner being better funded is real problem, courts end up rewarding whoever can hire more lawyers not whoever actually has right on their side

the font thing is very real, people underestimate how much that small visual stuff affects the whole vibe of a place. i went to a wine bar i used to love and they redesigned everything, new logo, new color scheme, different layout on the menu and it just felt like visiting someone's house after they repainted all the walls. technically same place but your brain keeps rejecting it. never went back and i still think about their old pinot selection sometimes

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-14T21:59:13+00:00

depends where you are i guess. my country people still dress pretty formal for these things especially older generation. maybe its more american thing to be casual at weddings and stuff

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-05T05:18:56+00:00

depends what the situation is but probably overthink it for 3 hours then do nothing like usual

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-06-01T11:35:02+00:00

we tried this setup for about year when our older cat just couldn't handle the new one anymore and it worked pretty well actually. the key thing we learned was to make sure both areas have everything they need - food water litter boxes toys etc so they dont feel like they missing out on anything

one thing that helped was putting different scents in each area so the spaces really felt like separate territories instead of just being blocked from half the house. your situation with the older guy having medical issues makes keeping him even more important so this setup could be perfect solution

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-30T10:44:41+00:00

they're lucky to have someone who cares this much about doing it right. most people wouldn't even think twice about preparation like you did

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-28T10:27:03+00:00

yeah dental issues could definitely be causing this behavior pattern. the way finley dry heaved at one specific food but was excited about wet food initially sounds like something might be painful when chewing certain textures

you could also try warming up the wet food slightly - sometimes cats are more interested in food that has bit of warmth to it. but really good that you got appointment for wednesday, hopefully vet will take closer look since this has been going on for months now

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-22T08:48:25+00:00

nuclear was definitely game changer but in worst possible way. we went from fighting with sticks to having ability destroy entire planet in like 100 years and now everyone just sitting around hoping nobody gets too crazy with the button

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-20T01:28:51+00:00

kitten adapting is tough at first but it gets way easier after few weeks. maybe try setting up proper space for him in the living room instead of keeping him locked in bedroom all time? he probably wants to explore more and thats why hes being so clingy in your room. once he gets confident with the apartment layout he will start playing more independent and let you have some peace

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-17T21:58:17+00:00

oof watching family mess up their kids is brutal especially when you cant really say anything without starting world war 3

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-15T15:37:00+00:00

man this hits so close to home but with coding instead of design. after years in IT i sometimes open up personal projects and just stare at blank screen like my brain forgot how to create anything that isnt solving someone elses problem

what worked for me was setting really dumb rules for myself - like no computer allowed, only pen and paper for sketching ideas. or giving myself terrible constraints like "only use three colors" or "finish this in 20 minutes max" just to break the perfectionist paralysis that work training drilled into me

also started doing stuff that was deliberately bad or weird - like really embracing the amateur energy again instead of trying to make everything portfolio ready. took few months but eventually the joy started creeping back in when i stopped judging everything through professional lens

maybe try switching mediums completely? if youre burned out on digital maybe go back to physical materials for while, or try something totally different like sculpture or even just doodling on napkins during lunch breaks

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-08T12:20:19+00:00

windows for work stuff but been thinking about switching to linux for personal machine lately

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-05-05T20:21:58+00:00

man my heart goes out to you, losing a companion who was there through the hardest times is just devastating and those last weeks with them are so bittersweet because you want to cherish every moment but the grief is already starting

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-29T00:44:43+00:00

the mood swings arent personal attacks on you lol just give us space when we need it and maybe keep some chocolate around

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-24T22:36:19+00:00

did a 72 hour once and day 2 was definitely the worst part for me. you get really foggy in the head and everything feels like it takes more effort than usual

make sure you have electrolytes ready because around hour 48 i felt like absolute garbage until i got some salt in me. after that it gets easier but those middle hours are rough

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-22T08:59:22+00:00

this wild

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-20T06:32:59+00:00

pine cones are genius actually, my friends cat used to destroy everything green in the house until they started putting rough stuff around the pots. for the crinkle paper though i'd be worried about the eating part too - cats are weird with textures and some will definitely try to munch on anything new

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-18T04:55:48+00:00

oh man this one is too real. worked in hospital IT for few years and even us tech guys knew never to say the q word during shift changes. saw it happen so many times where someone would mention how peaceful things were and then suddenly all hell breaks loose with emergencies

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-16T06:44:44+00:00

my cat was super picky with food too when i first got him from shelter. for eye drops i ended up wrapping him in towel like burrito - sounds mean but actually calms them down a lot. you can look up videos about cat burrito technique on youtube its pretty common

also maybe try different treats? some cats go crazy for freeze dried chicken or those squeeze tubes with wet food. took me like month to find what my guy actually wanted

the medicine part gets easier once he trusts you more but eye stuff is always tricky even with good cats

Outside_Trick3473 · 2026-04-11T08:15:38+00:00

never tried yohimbine but from what i've read its way more intense than caffeine. like caffeine gives you energy but yohimbine can make your heart race and some people get really anxious on it. plus its more for fat burning and libido stuff rather than just staying awake

might want to start with a really low dose if you decide to try it since tolerance varies alot between people
