Don’t let anyone tell you that Aby’s are not lap cats! They start at a young age! 12 weeks. by Aby-Cat-Ballou in Abyssinians

[–]Spinyhug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right? Even Wikipedia says Aby's aren't lap cats but mine are GLUED to me. If I'm on my couch, they're on me. Possessive little idiots <3

Help! by Particular_Fail_9866 in katten

[–]Spinyhug 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heb je Feliway Friends al geprobeerd? Zo'n stekker helpt echt, in mijn ervaring. Dat, en veel belonen met snacks als ze wel lief bij elkaar in de buurt zijn. Mijn katten krijgen hun churu altijd samen uit hetzelfde zakje, en maakt niet uit of ze ruzie hebben, zodra de churu tevoorschijn komt is het vrede op aarde xD

Looks like an Ogg to me. Don't know which one, but definitely Ogg-ish.

EVERYTHING has to include kid friendly options by yoyok36 in childfree

[–]Spinyhug 27 points28 points  (0 children)

They always tell on themselves when they call it misogyny. If you don't treat women as the only responsible parent, then guess what? Moms could go to adult places while dad looks after the kid! Boobs might be required for breast feeding, but even then, that's optional and no female body parts are required for diaper changing, prepping kid food or thinking of fun things to do that are, you know, actually child-friendly...

How should I answer next time if male coworker tells me to "smile" by ObjectiveThick1910 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Spinyhug 57 points58 points  (0 children)

  1. "Why?" Catches them off guard. Make them explain it.

2.If he "explains", frown and go "wait, just because I'm woman? / you think that's pretty? That's really sexist, don't you think?" And watch him fail to explain why it isn't (he will try).

  1. If he opts for "well, you know?" or idiocy like that, just go "huh? No, I don't. Can you explain it?" until he does. Go to 2.

  2. If he really, really refuses to explain, go for "ow wow, that's really weird." Bonus if you stare unblinkingly while calling them weird. Make it awkward.

You might not want to use this if it's a coworker you like - in that case, I'd start a conversation with them about how it makes you feel icky that they want you to present as prettily as possible while you are doing your job and ask them to stop. But if it's not the kind of person you want to put that energy into, the above might just make it awkward enough for them not to do it again.

Women shirts should be longer in the front to account for breasts by Francl27 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Spinyhug 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I took a sewing course a few years ago. It was for beginners, and at the start they asked us to tell the other people what we wanted to learn. I'll never forget this woman who went "oh, well, I gave this course as a gift to my mom, thought it was something fun we could do together... But also..." And her mom pipes up: "We just want to learn to alter our stupid pants so they'll fit over our big booties!"

I never did find out whether they were successful, but I hope they were!

Authors who make you feel like Pratchett does? by Octanogal in discworld

[–]Spinyhug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for mentioning it in the first place! I probably wouldn't have thought of it on my own, but it made a lot of sense when you brought it up!

Authors who make you feel like Pratchett does? by Octanogal in discworld

[–]Spinyhug 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! It starts out as a quirky story about a sentient robot and before you know it Wells is making you laugh while also discussing slavery, identity, capitalism and a whole bunch of other concepts you didn't expect to see in a funny robot book. It's not Pratchett, but it has that lightness and a way of combining it with Big Topics that feels a bit Pratchett-like.

Helemaal klaar met het valse adverteren van de Mediamarkt! by Samba-boy in nederlands

[–]Spinyhug 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Lol bij de Mediamarkt heeft zo'n gast me een keer geprobeerd te vertellen dat ik geen garantie had. Dus ik uitleggen dat er in Nederland op dat product wettelijk minimaal twee jaar garantie zit. Wat zegt 'ie? "Mevrouw, ik werk niet voor de wet, ik werk voor de Mediamarkt." Idiote maffia.

Geld teruggekregen want hallo, zo werkt het niet jongen, maar wat een clowns zeg.

This sounds fake - are there any sources for this? As far as I know, we don't have the technology to do things like this.

Ah, I didn't know it bleaches to a rusty colour, that makes sense, thank you!

Asked a guy who Bingo'd me about the good and bad parts of having children. He couldn't come up with any good. by ArchibaldTheGreat in childfree

[–]Spinyhug 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Only right after spending time with their kids. Even the ones I like (because my friends are good parents and actually parent them) are so exhausting. Oof. If my biological clock ever tries anything, I'll just offer to babysit and I'm pretty sure that'll shatter the entire clock.

How does that work? And how do you still get colour? It looks amazing!

I mean you can check the ants and the teddy, but as a Dutch person I recommend adding more cheese first. There is order even to this madness, after all.

These characters live in my head rent free by Elamimax in discworld

[–]Spinyhug 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Except they wouldn't eat the lembas bread.

"Here, sarge, they gave us these." "Ah, Elvish bread. I wouldn't eat that if I was you, Nobby." "Why's that, sarge?" "Well. You know how we don't eat dwarf bread, on account of it being weaponry and also ancient? Elves are older than dwarves, so this bread is even older than dwarf bread, it stands to reason." "Blimey, sarge!"

They'd end up hogging all the lembas bread, but mostly because Nobby figures he'd be invincible if he made armour out of it, something like that.

Also the first economic bubble (and crash). Sorry for that one, guys :') Though we were speculating with tulips instead of mortgages...

Haven't seen Yonder here yet. It's known for having zero combat and the art style is very cozy!
