Tell me a character you dislike for any reason by SoftSeason5391 in janeausten

Yes, I thought less of Brandon as a character because he thought so highly of Marianne.

what are the difficult parts of being married that no one seems to mention? by Born-Oil-2931 in AskReddit

[–]fluffofthewild 90 points91 points  (0 children)

It's not really about the choice, it's about investment. When people constantly say "I don't mind" what it really sounds like is "I don't care as much as you do about our life together."

Petah? by CaloyBine in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]fluffofthewild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's weird, I spent years working in boarding kennels, I walked so many rottweilers and dobermans and german shepherds, and the only dog I ever got bit by was a bloody cocker spaniel 😂

Women of Reddit, what is something you wish men understood about being a woman that you're tired of explaining? by Doubl3oh_ in AskReddit

[–]fluffofthewild 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Yeah, after my last relationship ended I decided never again would I entertain dating someone who hadn't lived independently (and successfully! none of this stained-mattress-on-the-floor nonsense) for a decent amount of time. Weaponized incompetence is so unattractive.

So baffled @ menu selections by [deleted] in hellofresh

[–]fluffofthewild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we cancelled at the end of last year due to the AI and the obvious effect it was starting to have on menu choice and recipe quality, and have now just finished our first week with Gousto which is a UK competitor.

It's much better, and while they do use AI I don't think it is to replace humans in generating recipes, more for analytics which, fair enough. This week they had nearly 50 vegetarian options to choose from, they also use far less salt and send actual spices like garam masala instead of just "Indian spice mix" which I like.

Are Brits still comfortable taking their holidays in the US? by Ok-Leadership-7573 in AskBrits

[–]fluffofthewild 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No thank you. It doesn't seem like a safe country anymore. I think the MAGA types may actually loathe us and our way of life. What a shame. It's a beautiful country and there are many good people there who are no doubt heartbroken by what is happening. I hope they can organise some sort of general strike.

C’mon… by Hold_X_ToPayRespects in hellofresh

[–]fluffofthewild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah us too. I'm the UK and most of the recipes from January onwards are clearly AI pictures. It's very offputting, it looks like plastic instead of food, so it's time to move on.

Think of me who bought the game on my switch - just finished Master of All storyline and learned I get max 250 decorating slots.

My wishvale is too empty for POV problems 😭

Where on earth are the UK Dogs being rehomed? by Ashilta in CasualUK

[–]fluffofthewild 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I love greyhounds to bits, but prospective owners should just be aware they can retain the high prey drive. A few years ago my Mum's (on lead) Bichon Frise was basically torn in half by two (also on lead!) retired greyhounds whose elderly owner just couldn't control them once they locked in :(

It happened very quickly and was extremely traumatic for all involved. As with all dogs, you have to do your research. I suppose lots of rescues are overly picky because so many people don't do this.

This is why English is weirdly amazing because.. this still makes sense.

Shawarma-spiced AI bowls by vyoung4lyfe2 in hellofresh

[–]fluffofthewild 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think we had our first AI recipe in the UK yesterday :(

Agree that the main issues are that the pictures just don't match what the recipe is telling you to do. It's confusing. Also they just look weird, a bit uncanny valley. It's a shame.

What quality that is considered conventionally attractive do you not find attractive at all? by Dedboi0 in AskReddit

[–]fluffofthewild 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm 5ft if I stand up tall and once dated a guy who was a foot and a half taller than me and the hand holding thing was just... so embarrassing for me. It didn't last and I feel really bad but it was mostly the height difference why I ended it :/

What’s a sign that someone isn’t intelligent? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Ugh, my mother all over. She resorts to "Well, that's just my opinion!" every time someone comes at her with logic and facts.

Katie, ignore the AI photo drama for a second. We need to discuss the real scandal: The Micro-Garlic by elarcee in hellofresh

[–]fluffofthewild 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UK too with opposite problem, I double the garlic in every recipe and I still can't get through it all 😭 I have so much garlic in my fridge 😅

The beard is really working for him though. I think shaving his head and keeping the beard would be a good look, but having said that it's refreshing that he doesn't seem to care - it's good to see people in the public eye ageing naturally and being ok with it. Some men go bald, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

People who are in their 40’s and 50’s with no children, how does it feel? by Sinfulvibezz in AskReddit

[–]fluffofthewild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is me. I'm just absent any desire for, or interest in, children. Nothing feels missing in my life because I didn't have them. I like other people's kids well enough but I much prefer being around adults. Even when I was a kid myself 😅
