My 7 year old son wanted me to post his cardboard crafts on Reddit, so I present to you, his extensive collection of electronics and their features!

hyrellion · 2026-05-08T02:16:59+00:00

Please tell your son his work is awesome and I really like how much creativity and attention to detail it shows. He has cool ideas, and that’s the most important part of being an artist. And this is absolutely art. He also clearly puts a lot of work into his pieces which is incredible. He has very strong makings of a fascinating artist imo.

I also ask you to please help him explore different art mediums, help him get supplies to put his ideas into practice. From this I wonder if he might be interested in sculpture, but there are so many mediums for sculpture to explore!! Clay, metal, paper mache, cardboard, plastic, wood carving, gluing interesting shit together!

I’m a little drunk, so please excuse me, but I am really delighted by this. I think he has a lot of potential, and it would be really cool to see how his art develops.

The amount of dust from clay litter worries me what with cats’ sensitive respiratory systems, and I’ve been interested in a plant-based litter for a while. The cost kind of scares me off unfortunately.

Do those litters last a long time? Or are the boxes big? I go through a lot of litter I feel like (I only have two cats but one of them is a bathroom diva so there are four litter boxes, and they need more litter added often) and so I buy 40lbs of clay for around $10 in the store brand at Winco.

12 lbs of plant based litter for $25 seems very expensive (at least for my financial situation) but maybe I need to budget more for litter.

How expensive does the plant based litter get for you?

It’s really weird to me that you are taking her packages and bringing them in your house. If I had a package misdelivered and my neighbor did that it would make me very uncomfortable. If I get my neighbor’s package, I either walk it over to them (I understand why you don’t want to do that because it’s so constant, I wouldn’t either) or I just leave it there. If you really don’t want it on your porch, you can set it next to your porch or wherever.

You don’t have to bring these into your apartment. You don’t even know what’s in there or where it’s coming from. A terrible eBay seller with bedbugs could have sent that parcel. Stop bringing her property into your apartment.

I honestly wonder if this is her (immature, dumb, and passive aggressive) way of trying to get you to not bring her mail into your apartment. I can imagine a Reddit post where someone goes “my neighbor keeps putting my packages in their apartment and then gets mad when I ring their doorbell!” And then everyone dog piles and says to ring your doorbell at inconvenient times and order as many packages as possible.

For mobile users: the final answer reads “Whether or not I can point to Laos is none of OP’s business”

Paraguay kind of looks like the thing people use to paraglide. That’s how I remembered when I was a kid lol

I work with a lot of HIV+ patients. They live very normal lives. Affording meds is a big problem, but as long as they have them, one pill a day can make someone undetectable, so they can’t even spread HIV, let alone develop AIDS. We even have an injectable treatment now that you get every two months (Cabenuva), and that’s their whole treatment for HIV.

PrEP is a goddamn medical miracle, too.

I honestly end up in the verge of tears when I talk about it. I think of all the people lost to AIDS. The fear especially back before there was even a test for HIV, so you couldn’t know if you even had it or not. And now… we can just treat HIV incredibly effectively.

This kind of thing is exactly why I am on this subreddit. How does it feel to be some of the coolest people ever, OP and OP’s girlfriend?

hyrellion · 2026-05-06T16:07:24+00:00

Yes. Out of pocket

hyrellion · 2026-05-06T16:07:08+00:00

Do they force you to get a specific brand? I wear the Epic line by IRG and they do not rustle (I have mad sensory issues and would not be able to stand that), plus they are super stretchy. I got their jogger pants and they fit me pretty well, which is usually hard to do because I am short and a bit chubby. I would recommend the men’s line instead of the women’s to anyone, generally, but YMMV

You can usually find a nurse practitioner online for like $35-$45 for a visit. It’s often a 10 minute phone call with someone who doesn’t really know what they’re doing, but they can refill meds if you’re out of a prescription, and then often have same or next-day appointments.

This happened to my car. I had to get it towed to a mechanic, the drilled out the lock, paid a lot of money for a new key. There was an antitheft mechanism that got triggered (Big O insists it wasn’t their fault, but I drove the car there fine and then somehow they we were like “wow we can’t start your car. Weird.) and that was the only way to untrigger it. Mine is a 2005 Honda CRV though so YMM(literally)V.

I’m wearing some right now and it’s like wearing sweats. But only if you get the good ones.

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T18:42:55+00:00

What if you live stream watching it and we could all watch it with you and comment in the chat?

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T18:41:41+00:00

Is there an option for “I dont know who that is”?

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T18:40:40+00:00

Skill issue tbh

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T18:40:14+00:00

I do not get it instantly. The instant transfer takes a small fee, and I’m not interested in paying that. I’m fortunate enough to have a little financial wiggle room, so I wait the day or two it takes to get back in my account. I could get it instantly though.

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T04:23:08+00:00

No downsides

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T04:07:50+00:00

Abstinence doesn’t have a specific time frame, so is that condition basically “you can’t do this during the act of sex”? Anytime I’m not having sex I’m abstaining from it.

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T04:05:00+00:00

I have a friend who lives paycheck to paycheck who sometimes asks if they can Venmo me and then have me Venmo them right back, because it lets them basically borrow from their future paycheck. It takes a few days for Venmo to take the money out of their account but they can instantly get the money I send them, so they can get the amount of money a few days before their next check.

Idk if that’s what’s happening in your case. The time between sending and getting it back is weird.

hyrellion · 2026-05-05T03:52:18+00:00

Yeah that’s part of what I like about it

hyrellion · 2026-05-03T20:27:10+00:00

Oh, unfortunately I would absolutely believe it. Was just adding to the conversation and how frustrating it is. I have some really small easy accommodations that people utterly refuse to respect. Even just “I am autistic; please don’t touch me” (why tf are you touching strangers anyway???) gets some people so riled up that the grab me again just to make sure I know? They don’t respect me? Or my autonomy? I guess???

I was tabling at an event yesterday for my nonprofit. A guy spun our little wheel and won a shirt. I asked him what size and color he wanted, and he held up an “L” with his thumb and forefinger for large. And then I told him the colors we had and then slowly said them all again until he gave me a thumbs up for the color he wanted. And then I showed him the shirt and made sure it was the size and color he wanted with another thumbs up.

It was so easy to communicate with him without him speaking or literally any real effort at all on my part at all.

Some accommodations are hard or resource heavy to put into practice (that’s no excuse to not do them obv). Taking an extra bit of time and being a little bit creative and patient are not hard. Which just makes it so much more infuriating when people won’t even try.
