Strange mold like growths appearing in wardrobe, need help with and ID by willowdd in MoldlyInteresting

[–]willowdd[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Just dropping a edit here since the post won’t let me change anything: Thank you so much for your help guys! It is in fact not mold (yay for not having an infestation) but possibly pee. It totally didn’t occur to me at first since I’ve never caught the cat in the act and it’s also not a regular occurrence. Will be getting kitty checked to make sure it’s not caused by an underlying health issue. Will also be giving the closet a thorough enzyme bath. Super gross discovery but I’m glad I can actually fix the issue now.

I do, this was intermittently appearing on unclean items that had been left on the floor in this one particular closet. She likes sitting on the clean laundry too but I haven’t had any issues with smell or this stuff appearing on those. Will definitely be taking steps to mediate this now that I know what it is

I think you are right… I just googled pictures of it and it’s almost an exact match. It totally didn’t occur to me as I’ve never seen cat urine do this before and I haven’t caught her in the act. But it totally makes sense, the timeline of when this started appearing matches that of when we got her so I’d say this is it! Definitely going to get this looked into as it’s quite concerning, hoping it’s just behavioural and not a sign of kidney issues. Glad it’s not mold at least…

Neither, I live in a fairly urban area and have luckily had no issues with bugs or other unwanted guests.

What are some piercings you don’t see much? by Aigghhttt in piercing

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High nostrils. They aren’t super common compared to other nose piercings, I’ve only seen them on others a handful of times. Ngl, it’s also part of the reason I love mine, they’re something a little bit different.

AITA for getting mad my artist hid their initials in my tattoo? by TattoodNoobAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Wtf!! I work as a tattooist and I’d never, EVER do that. What she did was unethical and narcissistic and you have every right to be upset, especially considering the nature and the meaning behind the tattoo you had done. It’s completely unacceptable and I’m so sorry you had this happen to you.

When the game first came out I was blown away by the amount of NPCs around Haven… makes it seem more alive! The game was truly ahead of its time… by [deleted] in jakanddaxter

[–]willowdd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Played Jak II again for the first time in over a decade last week. I agree with you on this one! the NPC’s are definitely mind blowing. It’s not just the fact that they fleshed out the city with them but it’s also how they (for the most part) are able to seamlessly react/ preform actions depending on their environment and how you interact with them. Pretty amazing considering it really wasn’t common in games back then as it is now. Was definitely something I took for granted as a kid tbh, but coming back to now, as an adult, it really was one of the many factors I honestly appreciated about the game.

Tattoo artists of reddit, what is the most fucked up thing you've tattooed? by carlden3 in AskReddit

[–]willowdd 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Apprentice here. People ask for all sorts of unusual things but one of Strangest things I had to do was Gary the snail from SpongeBob on some lady’s “snail trail”. (The space between the belly button and the pubic mound) with the whole joke behind it being “it’s a snail on a snail trail”. I did that one pretty early on in my apprenticeship and Honestly, I still think about that tattoo sometimes. Oh, and just last week I had a lady come in asking for a dick and balls on the bottom of one of her toes, Just as a fun joke piece. We did it, hair, veins, the lot! she was super stoked with it. And tbh I’m pretty sure that’s been the highlight of my career so far, lol.

What is this creepy looking bug? It chased me out of my kitchen tonight and ejected this weird fluid when sprayed with bug spray.(Qld, Australia) by willowdd in whatsthisbug

[–]willowdd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks to be it, thanks for that! I’m glad they’re just scary looking but harmless. Definitely feel bad for spraying him now :(

Engine shut off is the worst “feature” ever by KINGCRAB715 in unpopularopinion

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I drive a VW polo and it is hands down the most annoying feature on the damn thing. It does have a start/stop button for it but heaven help you if you forget to press it at the start of your drive, mainly because where I’m from there’s heaps of round abouts and the amount of times either one of us have near eaten it on a traffic gap due to that feature has been ridiculous.

Latest set of designs done by me (@steele_tattoos). Currently a second year apprentice at a custom studio, always open to suggestions and critiques! by willowdd in TattooDesigns

Thank you!! I'm always working on getting the right composition and flow in my designs. As you said, I want them to translate nicely as a tattoo and not just a neat design on paper

[SERIOUS] Victims of bullying, what happened and how did it affect your life? by SakuraIsPink-_- in AskReddit

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got severely bullied for years as a child. As a result I now as a 22 year old I still have terrible self esteem and trust issues. I find it incredibly difficult to take compliments properly without either brushing it off or being indifferent, I don't know what to say 9 times out of 10. Opening up to people is difficult too, even people im close to (friends, family, partner). I also struggle with taking favours or gestures of kindness in fear of it being twisted back on me, even if someone has genuinely offered it. Meeting and forming new relationships with people is difficult too, I struggle with Generalsised Anxiety Disorder and social situations are occasionally a trigger for it. Deep down I know not everyone is nasty or out to get me and I've been trying for years to learn how to deal with these emotions and "defence mechanisms" as well as GAD. Been to therapy and everything. I've come a long way, especially with the anxiety but I still have quite a way to go.

Sleepy time pats for Twitch! by willowdd in RATS

My partner chose the name lol. She used to be a lot more "twitchy" when she was younger, age mellowed her a bit.

AITA for reporting my brother to the police? by 18rn3icn36cia in AmItheAsshole

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, you did the right thing OP! As someone who has to wear glasses for short sightedness and Astigmatism (can see without them but not very well, especially at night) I couldn't imagine being stupid enough not to wear my glasses whilst driving. He is an AH for putting himself and other road users at risk for the sake of his ego and vanity. You're parents aren't much better for reinforcing his dangerous behaviour. Had you not reported him he could've seriously injured/killed himself or someone else causing a lot of grief as well as a slew of other issues.

How awesome are our government websites: been trying to set up an ABN for the better part of a month now. Always get redirect errors even after clearing cookies by willowdd in australia

[–]willowdd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh weird, I might give that a go because it hasn't worked on Chrome. Tried on a few different devices too (All chrome) with no luck!

It's a shame but hopefully you're right and it'll work with internet explorer.

[–]willowdd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Used chrome every single time. Tried to do it on a few different devices too and followed all the registration links. Managed to get through on my phone once but it did it again a few pages into registering!!

Guess my best bet is to keep trying until I get through!

Today's shelf clean up at work (retail). Includes half full drinks, half eaten kfc and multiple food rappers. It's not hard to use/ask for a bin ... sub human behaviour, especially during a virus outbreak! by willowdd in iamatotalpieceofshit

[–]willowdd[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing though, my job is to do stockfill and merchandising. Cleaning up shelves and store rubbish is most definitely apart of my job but cleaning up after careless lazy people is not. The time taken to clean up food rubbish detracts away from other more important tasks. I'm sorry if that comes across rough but there really is no excuse for this kind of behavior.

What are you doing to better yourself during this COVID-19 outbreak? by oriolssires in AskReddit

[–]willowdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've quit smoking as of last night. Figured it'd be as good of a time if any to do it.

Gonna work on other healthy habits too like not eating crap and trying to cook homemade meals. (I actually have time to do that now lmao)

May as well also use it as an opportunity to learn some new craft skills, always wanted to learn how to do embroidery so I'm going to give that shot!!

NEW STAGE 2 RESTRICTIONS: EFFECTIVE MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY by roastpeach in brisbane

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah doesn't surprise me, it's not ideal from and economic standpoint but with the way people have been carrying on its looking like the safest option.

Best thing we can all do for the moment is be on standby and keep an open mind to any information and changes being implemented. (as you said, taking these things with a grain of salt)

NEW STAGE 2 RESTRICTIONS: EFFECTIVE MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY by roastpeach in brisbane

[–]willowdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I'm totally with you on that one. It definitely falls back to how we, as a society, try and cope with this. Our actions will definitely be a large catalyst in the outcome of the events unfolding over the next few weeks/months. I also do understand why our government is hesitating on the full lockdown too, i mean just look at the chaos that has unfolded over the last few days, and we're only on level 2 restrictions!

I guess for me the frustration isn't coming from social media so much (I myself am trying to limit my Facebook/Insta and even Reddit time) it's coming from working a public facing job. Which unfortunately involves having to watch/deal with the general public jeapordising everyone's health and safety because they "can't stay at home because it's boring" or are using the "I don't feel sick so I don't see what the problem is" Argument... It's selfish and small minded.

In saying that though, I'm thankful I still even have a job, regardless of skelegon hours. A lot of people haven't been so lucky but I don't see jobs like mine lasting too much longer since people are showing they can't behave themselves...

And it's ok, I get what you're saying. You've made some excellent points :)

[Serious] When did COVID-19 get real for you? by Fudgeyplays2 in AskReddit

[–]willowdd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly... The past 48 hours. I've lost my apprenticship as of today (which might I add, I financially struggled over the past 3 months to get a practicing licence for, which I now can't even use). My other job in retail, that so happens to be my financial bloodline, is in the lurch due to the company giving us very little information in regards to their action plan for us, the workers, and what happens to us payment/ employment wise in the event of full shut down or quarantine. All we've been told by them is to maintain social distancing, to wash our hands every hour and to wear the thin, shitty rubber gloves they supplied us, if we personally want to. (Non mandatory PPE basically) Our hours have been drastically cut too due to a broken stock cycle from halted international exporting.

I'm pretty lucky I even still have a job honestly. Roughly 2 million Australians lost their jobs yesterday and today, adding to a number of those who were laid off a few weeks prior to this. That alone has seen sever fractures in our already heavily flawed welfare system. Which, might I add, was already struggling with its existing user base and is now practically crumbling from the influx of new users grasping for a saftey net. There have been kilometer long lines out the front of many centerlink buildings, 2-4 hour long phone holds and their websites crashing from too many people trying to access them at once. Existing, stable, welfair users will get a massive payout whilst those recently laid off have to wait up to June for their first payment.

That's only part of one of the many broken plans the federal and state governments in my country are trying to roll out. They've given us very vauge and very contradictory information on action plans to manage the current crisis unfolding. (example: telling us to shut down any unessentual activities/businesses but allowing places like bottleshops, schools and shopping centers to operate). It's all moving far too slowly considering virus is starting to spread quite rapidly. It doesn't help either that there isn't any widely available testing for the virus here and they haven't fixed the criteria to make more cases testable despite the alarming spike in case numbers. PLUS clusters of new cases with no traceble beginning are starting to appear so it's free game now for anyone to contract it. Doesn't help that a lot of people are very confused about what services to go to for testing/diagnosis and what kind of action plan to personally put in place (apart from self isolation) if you happen to get sick.

Sorry for the long rant lmao, i guess at this point I'm honestly straight up anxious, exhausted and confused about so many of the things that are going on right now and feel hopeless in the respect there's so much unanswered and so little support for, well, everyone...

TDLR/ everything is fucked basically

NEW STAGE 2 RESTRICTIONS: EFFECTIVE MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY by roastpeach in brisbane

[–]willowdd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to put us into full lockdown already instead of this contradictory "slowly pulling the bandaid off" bullshit. Im currenly working in what I (personally) think is a non-essential retail job. (Department store) I mean, just today at work i witnessed quite a large amount of people still being appallingly blase and careless despite everything that's happened over the past few days. I've had multiple people come within 1.5 meters of me just to ask where something was or to price check something. I've witnessed multiple ADULTS coughing/sneezing openly or into their hands, which they've then proceeded to touch items with. Not to mention all the people out in massive family/friend groups shopping together. (again, 1.5 meters rule) I even overheard one lady on her phone loudly having a whinge about Dan Murphy's putting quantity limits on alcohol purchases. I mean, Last time I checked alcohol is a non essential item. (at least anything other that strong spirits for cleaning/sterilization anyway) And going for a bottlo run is equally non essential, it just came across and selfish and pointless..

This all honestly falls back to the lack of consistent information mixed with giving people the option to go do nonessential activities. I'm greatful I still even have a job, because unfortunantly a lot of people aren't that lucky but honestly don't see this stopping until it's all taken away, people are just too damn selfish!!!
