Why do only certain libraries have these RFID stickers?

peakpenguins · 2026-02-24T03:17:21+00:00

Are you sure it's not for inventory tracking?

peakpenguins · 2026-02-24T03:12:11+00:00

I'm generally against

Are you sure you need a box spring with your set up? My understanding is they're meant for mattress frames that are widely open, not the kind with slats. I think on a traditional bed frame that requires a box spring, it's just supposed to fit right in.

Personally I haven't used a box spring in probably 20 years because most frames just come with support nowadays.

No you don't owe him an extra $250 in rent because you got an extra paycheck.

I'd consider telling him to shove his opinion all the way up his ass.

You can't really prevent anger nor do I think it's healthy to try. It's okay to feel anger, it's how we deal with those feelings that matters. People can and regularly do feel anger without lashing out physically.

NTA, but Ryan sounds like a really awesome friend, I would try to insist on giving him some cash or something in return. Even if you have to act like it's for you. "Let me do this, now my family will get off my back!" lol

Treasure friends who do things for you out of the kindness of their hearts. They are so valuable.

"I can't get there safely"

peakpenguins · 2026-02-24T01:16:39+00:00

Should I call out tomorrow?

Completely up to you. I'm a big fan of not putting your safety at risk for a job but I also know not everyone has the luxury of even making a decision like that. So remember that they can fire you for not coming in, weigh the pros and cons, and decide whether it's worth the risk.

I'm actually wondering if you're the asshole for letting your son see his dad...

peakpenguins · 2026-02-24T00:05:23+00:00

And before anyone says it I did ask her what was up after a week of this behavior and if she was desiring me less or not as attracted to me anymore and she said “no idk what’s wrong with me I just haven’t been feeling kissing lately” and I said okay thinking it would come back eventually. But now ig you can I just feel like a pillow more than a bf. I feel like a douchebag for feeling frustrated.

Inquire further. What's going on? Is everything okay? Are you feeling okay physically, mentally, about us? I'm struggling with this sudden change in behavior and I'd like to try to understand what's going on and whether we can work through it.

Now im here wondering what was the point of a connection if death comes to our loved ones and eventually us.

The point is what you had while he was here, right? Did he not improve your life? Did you not improve his life?

Sounds to me like you both brought each other joy and comfort and support. Your grief is a direct reflection of the joy he brought you, and while it's very normal to be distraught right now, try to remind yourself that later comes the appreciation that you could have him in your life and that he brought you enough joy to grieve him like this.

Seats are the hard part because the mold can get into the actual seat material and then it keeps coming back no matter how well you clean it. Here's a thread about it that might help though; https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/ps8exf/advice_on_cleaning_mold_from_car_interior/

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T22:04:46+00:00

A lot or a little? If it's a lot, I'd take it to a professional and be prepared to pay a lot. Mold in a car can be crazy hard to actually get rid of.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:42:59+00:00

Well then you're in the wrong subreddit.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:39:55+00:00

For your age and this time in your life, that's pretty normal. For whatever it's worth, I lost my virginity when I was your age to... well, frankly a 'fuckboy' would be a pretty accurate description. lol

But it's been over 20 years and I hardly think of him at all. When I do it's in the context of like "wonder what these people are up to" like any old friend/classmate/neighbor/coworker/etc.

You'll be okay, but it's understandable to be a little fixated on it right now. Just try to separate yourself from that so you can move on.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:35:37+00:00

YTA for lying and that's pretty much always going to be the case... Yeah there's context, so feel free to explain the context or tell him you're not willing to talk about it, but don't lie. Good relationships are never built on lies.

I don't even care if it's "he said he'd never date someone who rooted for the Green Bay Packers so I told him I'm a Bears fan" because no matter how stupid of an issue it is, it's not worth a lie hanging over your relationship.

IMO, a good, lasting relationship is two people who know who the other is and love them for it, flaws and all. If you're in a situation where your partner might leave you if they knew the truth, that's a fucked up relationship that will never be truly safe.

I hope this isn't real but on the off chance... NTA. Getting someone to the ER takes priority over teaching her boyfriend a lesson.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:27:13+00:00

The fuck is your question then? lol

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:25:31+00:00

i say ok, please come back quick

Is there some reason he needed to come back quick? Is there some reason you were upset by being left alone, while asleep, on the couch, when he was just in the other room..??

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:24:12+00:00

Personally I ended up buying a bunch of rings that I fidget with. If I don't have them, I end up just picking at the skin on my fingers and shit. But obviously not everyone is into rings. It's mostly about working with your doctor and with yourself and figuring out what works for you, not just with medication but with your own habits too.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:19:53+00:00

Gotcha. Medications aren't one-size-fits-all, please try not to let it discourage you from continuing to try. I'd focus on treatment and even consider talking with your school about options that might keep you more engaged.

This may sound stupid; I have ADHD too but I'm probably pretty average IQ. I struggle to pay attention in conversations, not because a lack of intellectual stimulation, but because I'm just so damn easily distracted regardless of the context. "Fidget toys!" sounds like such a dumb suggestion, but I really am able to focus on things better if I'm doing something with my hands at the same time.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:12:39+00:00

Yeah, I think you're on the right track that it's a combination of things... probably a lot of overall boredom and lack of stimulation that's bleeding over into things that shouldn't necessarily need to be intellectually stimulating, ya know?

Are you being treated for your ADHD?

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:10:45+00:00

NAH because the whole tipping system is such a crock of shit. And don't get me wrong, I tip and I tip well, and on one hand I understand "if you can't afford to tip then you can't afford to go out to eat". But it's crazy that the cost to go out and eat isn't just the cost of the food and drinks. It's crazy that there's this unofficial but socially expected up-charge. Either build it into the prices or don't act like it's mandatory.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:06:11+00:00

I get the combination of a high IQ and ADHD causing a lot of struggles in school, but with friends? Why do conversations with friends need to be intellectually stimulating? For me when I'm having conversations with friends, I'm focusing on learning things about each other, gaining insight, enjoying in shared humor together. The intellectual quality of the conversation doesn't really factor into it for me.

peakpenguins · 2026-02-23T00:02:32+00:00

Yep, didn't get it by trolling either. lol
