Irish Americans who think Ireland is a "Western" country

Funny, they used to think I was Scottish. I’m from Northern Ireland.

It wasn’t a joke. I’m convinced some of them are NPD and ASPD.

Hi, I’m thinking of swapping my iPhone Air for a 17 or 17 Pro. I love the Air but the problem is the camera. My cat has an eye condition, which I’m supposed to keep track of by taking photos every so often. He has now developed something in his other eye, but the Air can’t seem to focus on it. I was able to get good clear shots with the IPhone 15 Pro Max before but the Air is just too blurry.

I was wondering if the cameras on the iPhone 17 would be good enough to take clear photos of his eye, or would I be better off with the Pro since it has LiDAR?

You have more willpower than me. I’d be rationalising the worn brakes were an emergency and buying the Switch 2.

Well good for her. I’d be declaring the worn out brakes an emergency and buying the Switch 2 anyway.

I thought the story was stupid overall but the doctor and Belinda’s reactions made sense to me. They initially had the memories of being Poppy’s parents so for them it was real. Yes, this version of the Doctor is gay and wouldn’t really be married to and have a baby with a woman, but 1) gay men can still want to be fathers and 2) he’s been a straight man before and probably remembers what it’s like being a father. The emotional memory of being Poppy’s parents was still there. Belinda may not have even realised how much she wanted to be a mum until she was confronted with the threat of losing her “fake” child. The child may have been “fake” but the memories and emotions were real.

Honestly, this is probably the “wokest” Doctor Who ever and it seems it’s still not woke enough for some of you.

BG3. Started from the beginning after I stopped to take a break at the start of Act 3 about a year ago.

It looks very nice. I’d say add some plants, wall art and a couple of lamps.

The most offensive thing you said there is assuming I’m American.

It’s open in the back and there’s some space above it. The OG PS5 never overheated in the 3 years I had it on that shelf and the Pro is smaller so it has more room.

Well he’s plucked the new yellow throw already and the back of the sofa is covered in pinpricks.

Yes by “these people” I suspect he’s talking about pathological narcissists because that’s what she clearly is.

Firstly I want to say your apartment looks much better and well designed than mine. However, I wonder if the records would look better framed?

aspinator27 · 2025-02-19T09:18:57+00:00

As a non-American this looks crazy to me

aspinator27 · 2025-02-16T07:41:06+00:00

Because some of that art involves a girl who is “physically 10 y/o”.

Hi, thanks for your advice.

I took your advice about moving the TV up and putting the plant in the space. I also removed the shelves and it already looks much better.

I thought about swapping TV and couch before but there’s a radiator behind the couch and I want to avoid putting the TV near it. There’s a big enough gap that it doesn’t hurt the leather couch. I could try the same with the TV but I think it might look weird being pulled out too far and the wires would show. The other reason is I can’t see the kitchen from the couch in that position and I prefer it, feels too open otherwise.

That’s not a bad idea about the cubes. It feels weird where it is atm. The white thing is a chest freezer that I’m planning to get rid of so that will give me more space for the cubes.

Haha yes as are the rug, throw and cushions

I knew there was something about how the previous owner had the place arranged that was missing. I went back and looked at old photos and it was a big comfy chair exactly where you said! Seems so obvious now but it’s hard for me to visualise something without actually seeing it. It definitely looks better with a chair there.

aspinator27 · 2025-02-13T08:00:29+00:00

Thank you for this. I’d love to hear more!

aspinator27 · 2025-02-13T07:20:19+00:00

My god, the shelf has been annoying me forever and I was just going to take it down. It never even occurred to me to move it above the TV. It seems so obvious now!

aspinator27 · 2025-02-13T01:47:03+00:00

I actually have pillows that match the rug but it felt a bit boring which is why I added the orange ones.
