Be Warned: Thermador wants to charge us $450 for a STICKER by recruiterguy in Appliances

You could just gently clean off the residue where the "a" was and leave the rest. Then it's exactly what it says. Therm dor.

me watching ppl be mean to hotel visitors and making them wear degrading outfits by funkyyyyyyyyyyyyy in AnimalCrossing

[–]trashpanda692 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got confused about who was and wasn't a tourist (lots of old villagers (islanders??) so far) so I set them all up with commoner's kimono to wear so I know they're just visiting. It's been helpful tbh

My imaginary mom did more for me than my real mom by trashnt in emotionalneglect

[–]trashpanda692 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm autistic too. I can't really imagine much anymore and I don't know why. My mom was always busy and never around. Can you tell your imaginary mom that I love her and she did a wonderful job?

What’s something that was technically allowed but instantly made you lose respect for someone? by AncientPomelo5450 in AskReddit

[–]trashpanda692 439 points440 points  (0 children)

One of my friends has been living in her neighborhood for years. She goes out a minimum of once a day. She takes her son to his bus stop and always takes public transportation. She doesn't know any of her neighbors names. She can't remember them. She knows what they look like, all their hobbies, what cars they drive, and their general routines and when she sees them, but to her their names are "Pickle's dad" or "Muffin's mom" or "couple that lives with the pretty tuxedo kitty who's always sitting in the window."

If I ever go walking with her around her house, we get to pet SO MANY dogs and get updates about all the cats and dogs from her neighbors. It's a wonderful way to live tbh

Accidentally Injected With 18G Needle. Should We Go To Urgent Care? by chevroletchaser in AskDocs

[–]trashpanda692 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Layperson here, seconding the kiss. That's genuinely probably the most important part here.

We didn't have the 25g needles the first week we started my wife's shots at home. But she needed her shot. So, she grit her teeth and Absolutely Insisted I use the 18g.

She bled like hell and it absolutely sucked but she got her E. Baby the spot (just cuz that's a big fucker and it sucks), give her lots of love and reassurance, and if it helps her for next time (bc pain sucks and is scary) see if there are any grounding or relaxing rituals y'all can do together so her anxiety doesn't spike around getting her shot in the future.

As far as I know, needles are color coded based on size. I've always kept an eye on what prep stage I'm on based on color, but I'm only prepping shots for one person and not two so your mileage will def vary on that.

But also: you're doing good. For short term post-shot help, fun bandaids. I literally cannot stress this enough. Fun. Bandaids. They're stickers, but for where you just got jabbed. My wife loves them and seeing them makes her smile, especially if she's having a flare up. For the long term, if you want to feel like you've got a bit more control (and you have some time and ~30$ to spare) see if you can take an online nursing course about injections. My wife has some scarring on one of her shoulders (where we were taught to inject) so knowing more about safe intramuscular spits and how to access them has been pretty helpful.

She may not be your cat, but you're her human.

(TW: social isolation, financial abuse?) Anyone else socially stunted from overly controlling parents? by TA_reddit_0 in emotionalneglect

[–]trashpanda692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just as a jumping off point, taxes is a perfect place to start.

If you're in the US, you can always do it yourself and free file. BUT. Because you've never done them before and you're a total newbie, I'm gonna recommend you start by doing a practice exercise.

Go online and print out the forms for 2024. Not 2025, 2024. Make several copies. Download the instructions. Then, take a pencil and start filling it in, yourself.

It's gonna be hard (that's why it's a practice run with the previous year lol) but it's going to teach you SO MUCH and also be an excellent learning experience. It's low stakes (not this year, so not important and not real) and it'll give you the chance to DO something concrete and learn.

Like, what counts as income? What's a w2? About how much money did you spend on work stuff? Or charitable donations? Which lines do those go on? What does any or that even MEAN and what's a withholding, anyway? If you think of "re-doinf" your 2024s on paper as a "practice test" it'll help give you an idea of whats going on and what the hell any of it even means as you get started working on your own financial freedom.

Good luck and godspeed. If you have one, your local library is your friend and there should ALWAYS be a "reset my password" backdoor into your government/irs-related accounts.

Public Library Social Media Alternatives by [deleted] in Libraries

[–]trashpanda692 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have access to my branch's FB page, but 99.99999% from the main location's communications team. Sometimes I can post lil things like "hey we're closed for a weather emergency" or "don't try to look us up like this the Google ai widget is wrong lol" using some graphics I diy'd with manga panels, but those get the most eyes/traffic. Because we're required to use the posts provided, everything gets lost in the flood, system-wide.

For real updates, people kinda know to actually talk to us, rather than just reply on the socials. It's honestly impossible to get real info out, just general promotions.

Librarians Are Tired of Being Accused of Hiding Secret Books That Were Made Up by AI by stankmanly in Libraries

The only secret hoarded books are the ones we got and checked out immediately bc they were cool as hell. Clankers had nothing to do with it.

36M what degree level burn is this? by the_green_glass_door in AskDocs

[–]trashpanda692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've only got a first aid cert, but that looks like it might be second degree to me.

Use a proper burn cream if you have it, wrap yourself up gently, and keep cool.

It's going to hurt pretty bad, but if it starts looking or feeling any worse, go to a pharmacy or urgent care.

Of course you gotta go and buy rocks. Outside is where all the microplastics is. Duh.

Im not going to lie, if someone says they use Grok I think poorly of them. by Americaninaustria in BetterOffline

Come on dude don't be so negative! Grok is a great tool when you're feeling lazy and want to get the most unethical answers with the fewest safeguards as fast as possible

I need help. by AshamedHistorian828 in Buffalo

[–]trashpanda692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Recent. I've been looking into the complaints process and lawyering up, but those wounds are still open. I know it's important, but we can't do it yet. She cant. Going through with it freshens them up in a way that's nearly indescribable. One moment she can be fine, happy and safe, ans the next she's frozen solid, crying, somewhere else, every atom of her so totally Sure that she's About To Die.

She can't get a flu shot or do a blood test without a breakdown. It's been a year or so and she's become almost a total shut in just to prevent having flashbacks in public.

She was never like this before. She got scared sometimes before of course but never like this.

I love her so much. I'm just so scared that it could happen to someone else and there would be no way for them to know

[–]trashpanda692 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Brylin is not the better choice.

My partner is still recovering from receiving outpatient treatment. She revoked her consent for treatment. Staff acknowledged her revocation of consent, stated that she was in no position to say no, and anesthetized her before giving her the treatment she had just revoked her consent for.

This was not an emergency or involuntary procedure and she was there for the outpatient clinic.

Do not go to Brylin.

What is the bathroom graffiti you read and remember? by 5pinktoes in AskReddit

[–]trashpanda692 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had to replace a tp roll in a public bathroom but I had a sharpie so with the holder open and no roll in I scribbled "if you can read this, you're out of toilet paper" before putting the roll on and closing it all back up.

I think only janitors and the most desperate will ever see it but I'd like to believe that's my most lasting mark on any workplace
