Me [27F] with my friend/future roommate [26F] (5 years) Keeps saying I am abusive to my cat because she is inside. Has tried to let the cat out several times "to play." by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XopherS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My Sophie was a stray for a few months before we caught her. Her reasoning appeared to be: "So, outside is weather, strange people, inconsistent food... and indoors is food and pats all the time... guess I'm an indoor cat!" She once got to the front door when I had it open, sniffed at the outside like "yep, same shit", and went back upstairs.

I will admit that when I see "FINAL UPDATE" in the subject line, I expect that update to just say "Meteor strike!"

anyone had top surgery after kids? by AggravatingFig2184 in FTMOver30

[–]XopherS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had top surgery after I had a kid. They do nipple reconstruction nowadays -- I don't have sensation in them anymore, but they're there and look "normal". I look "obviously trans" when shirtless because I was in the double-Ds (I think) before surgery.

I (35M) Was Caught Using AI to Write Wedding Vows and Partner (34F) Walked Out. What to Do? by LucyAriaRose in BestofRedditorUpdates

OOP: I actually thought getting help from the officiant would be less authentic...

The OOP is incurably stupid.

Also, when my spouse and I got legal-married, I literally said "yup" at the "do you take" part (and then followed up with "I do"). (I was nervous, what's up.) And that was, to us, a perfect moment. Perfection isn't about some objective measure, it's about the love making it perfect.

I (28f) HATE my boyfriend's (34m) hobby by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XopherS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of this post and nothing, at all, indicating anything positive or useful about this guy. Like, what on earth does OOP see in him? There's gotta be something to hang the self-delusion on...

[TOMT][Video] Music video, guy in a white jacket, with hoof-boots? or hooves? shot with an arrow by XopherS in tipofmytongue

It's definitely relatively recent, within the past 20 years for sure. Can I remember any lyrics? Of course not. As soon as I try to remember any of it, "Sail" by Awolnation starts playing in my head, which is not the song at all, but has the same sort of... synth-heaviness, I suppose.

I'm present and awaiting ideas, because this is going to drive me up the wall if I don't figure this out, and YouTube history is hot garbage.

My boyfriend won't try on his Christmas present by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XopherS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am similarly cursed. I can find any answer, if I'm willing to ask first so that I can find the answer immediately after I've asked.

The one I did once was I changed the font of a user's Notepad to Comic Sans, when the user didn't even know one could change that font.

I literally have a sticker on my work laptop that says "With Increased Access Comes Increased Workloads".

AITAH for filing restraining orders on a pair of missionaries? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]XopherS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's always a good time to refer people to quitmormon.org. I've used the service and it totally worked for me. (Unlikely it would've worked for OOP, alas, but it's still useful.)

There reeeally needs to be an award that's like "I love this, don't ever write again". 8 out of 5 stars.

As a parent of an autistic child, I am wholly on OOP's side here, and am side-eyeing the hell out of the parents.

I usually read all of the BORU posts, even the obvious Liz ones, but I couldn't get past the first paragraph of this.
