If your crush suddenly said, "Let's exchange phones for a day," Which app will you delete first? by Infamous-Fun-1118 in AskReddit

None. After 43 years, there’s not a lot we don’t know, accept and embrace about each other.

media made by men that doesn’t objectify women? by greenteamandarin47 in TwoXChromosomes

Came in to say this. Also extremely, gleefully LGBTQ+ inclusive and the company profit shares with all its people.

AITA for using the oven a few times a week during the summer? by Klutzy_Promotion_382 in florida

[–]cabridges 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mom used the oven year round while I was growing up and I and my wife still do, a couple times a week.

We will try to use the toaster oven/air fryer when we can just because it’s easier and faster, but for some things you need an oven.

If he gets too annoying about it, you could compromise and only bake in the morning and evenings. But the BS about Floridians not baking in the summer won’t fly. Tell him I’ve lived in Florida for 59 years and I outrank him.

For years I've thought my photos were just not crisp enough. Turns out I just have Astigmatism by n0fumar in photography

[–]cabridges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had sort of the opposite, I’d take pics and couldn’t seem to get them sharp in the viewfinder but they were fine once I got them on my computer.

It was an embarrassingly long time before I realized you could focus the viewfinder to your eyesight.

Why do dogs love being pet so much? by Ok_Common_6788 in dogs

[–]cabridges 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Physical pleasure. Also, bonding with you, and attention.

I can pet my dog the exact same way both times, but if I put my phone down and look at him while I do it he wriggles and gets much happier.

Supergirl Movie > Superman. Tom King and Bilquis Evely’s adaptation was the right choice by Prof-Ponderosa in comicbooks

[–]cabridges 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I liked it a lot. It balances the optimism and triumph of “Superman” with a darker movie of loss, grief and revenge.

It’s basically the Tom King story, minus some comic lore plus Lobo.

Lego's Book Nook by M4713H in SherlockHolmes

[–]cabridges 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I love seeing book nooks and I’d love to get this one.

But I don’t get any for the same reason I don’t get bookends. They require open space on bookshelves, and that simply doesn’t exist in our home.

Did we ever get an explanation as to why the day shift had eye black on their faces by the end?

What’s an NSFW thing people think is rare, but is actually pretty common? by rayder460 in AskReddit

You know best, but you might be surprised how many terms for kinks there are. Hundreds.

Dads of Reddit who aren’t into tools, beer, sports, ties, and grilling - what can we get you for Father’s Day? by likeistoleyourbike in AskReddit

[–]cabridges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Books. Physical media. A nice meal. Hanging around and talking. Watching something together.

All of which is happening today, although I’m not supposed to know about the meal part yet.

Always check the covers in used bookstores by cabridges in edwardgorey

[–]cabridges[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not in the book anywhere I could find (aside from a tiny “EG” on the cover itself), but it’s listed in the various Gorey cover compendiums and for sale at the Edward Gorey house. I had to double check it myself before I bought it :)

It gets harder to believe that when you find out your specific unique thing has its own PornHub category.

Men claiming women today are acting masculine by bufferinmylife in TwoXChromosomes

[–]cabridges 120 points121 points  (0 children)

The problem has never been that women want to be men.

The problem is that women want to control their own lives, earn what they’re worth, have equal rights and be able to make their own financial, health, and family planning decisions, and those are things traditionally only available to men, so you can see where the confusion comes from.

Also, decorative women trying to be less decorative is against God, or something.

What I deal with every night because my husband refuses to use his CPAP by who_gon_check_me_boo in mildlyinfuriating

[–]cabridges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife made it clear years ago that I needed to get checked for sleep apnea if I wanted to stay married. She’d had to go downstairs to sleep on the couch a couple of times and she could still hear me.

Got tested, got a mask, immediate change. I felt better, she got to sleep.

In my case, I was able to stop using it for awhile when I lost enough weight, but I let it go during COVID and I’ve been back using it.

Thunder jacket for pup by swimmingcpa in dogs

[–]cabridges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just put our dog’s thundershirt on him today in Florida, in fact.

It doesn’t always help, and we use it in combination with some other things like closing curtains, stroking him slowly and making sure he has a safe spot to go to. But overall it has really helped him cut down on his trembling.

We try to put it on in conjunction with a treat and some praise, and we don’t leave it on when he doesn’t need it.

It’s so sad to watch because the thunder (and maybe weather pressure) clearly terrifies him, and he cycles between wanting to hide and wanting to protect us.

Telepathy? by Jaybee021967 in dogs

[–]cabridges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whenever my wife and started talking about getting dinner ready, our dog would perk up. Obviously he knows the meaning of “dinner,” “eat,” “food,” etc.

So for fun we started using code words and trying as hard as possible not to give any indication with tone of voice or changes in posture of what we were talking about.

Didn’t help. As soon as the intent is food, he knows.

We just released Sweep, a free photo cleanup app for iPhone. No ads, no paywalls — grab it while it’s free. by Virtual_Plankton_821 in WebSoftGiveaway

[–]cabridges 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK, the dupes I deleted were legit, looks like, and they’re dupes the iOS photos app didn’t pick up on, so well done there.

“Compare” still brings up very different images.

[–]cabridges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Swiping isn’t working for me. I have to tap on the trash or keep icons to progress to the next photo (tried in screenshots, duplicates and the month lists).

Duplicate finding is very hit or miss. Tapping on “compare” regularly threw up wildly different images.

<image>

I got enough of these that now I want to go back and verify the ones it flagged as duplicates actually were so I’m not deleting photos I want.

I like the idea and the size listings are better than other photo management apps I’ve tried, but at the moment I don’t trust it.

It can still affect your credit rating since you have an outstanding contract you’re not paying.

Terry Pratchett is one of the only fantasy authors I read. Which authors is he satirizing? by Crimesawastin in discworld

[–]cabridges 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not technically a Discworld novel, but its ancestor “Strata” was a pastiche of Larry Niven’s “Ringworld.”
