I don’t think you have misophonia. Misophonia is where you have an irrational stress/anger response to certain types of sounds. These sounds set off your fight or flight response. My personal triggers are eating noises and dogs drinking water. I don’t make that my partner’s problem though. I think your partner is being inconsiderate and the constant loud noises are overstimulating for you. You obviously need quiet time to recharge/concentrate and your partner is trying to drown the world out. The whole situation sounds unhealthy and unless you both are willing to work on the underlying issues together it will only get worse.

I read that as “Gout controls the weather” and had a nice chuckle.

The place I sent my parrot to when he passed puts a numbered metal tag on each pet before they go in and the tag stays with the ashes. They also did a foot impression and sent the ashes back in a simple but lovely clay urn. It was a little weird seeing the ashes in a ziplock inside the urn but I totally get it since they were a small family business.

"Only thing stopping them from sending hired thugs to your house to shake the change out your pockets is the law. "

This is how I feel about ads. Ads are legal psychological warfare with the sole aim of stealing your money.

My first parrot Johnny. I purchased him for my husband as a surprise Valentine’s gift when we were dating/living together. While we had done our research and made sure we were ready to handle the responsibility, we were not financially in a great place at the time. My credit card was almost maxed but I made the impulse decision to call the company to get a limit increase so I could make the purchase. And while it did take me some time to get out of my young and dumb credit card debit I never once regretted getting my little turkey bird. He passed away from old age almost 2 years ago but I still miss him everyday.

They have. My FIL has routinely refered to her as “Camel hair Harris.” It’s childish and disgusting.

American here. I love the German meme communities if even I don’t always understand the joke. Thanks for letting us know how you guys are doing and I hope everyone lands safely in the new server.

What’s the point of using an added custom data card in power apps forms if it doesn’t have an update property? (I don’t actually expect any answer as I’m pretty sure Microsoft builds shit like this to purposely troll new learners. I just need to vent some frustration.)

Asinine. It’s a perfect descriptor and it’s succinct.

I installed Mint this past weekend. I like it and my laptop no longer sounds like it wants to blow up.

My parents had this conversation with me once I hit college. I was thankful that they were open minded and supportive but it was awkward convincing them that while I very much liked the opposite gender I had other priorities at that time.

When you have all the money and power of a god all that’s left is being worshipped like one. These people are very mentally sick.

Hey I can answer this. Was on birth control for over 10 years and did the whole skip cycles thing. Turns out I’m one of those lucky 1 in 10,000 that developed severe liver tumors! Seriously though a lot of bad shit can happen if you use birth control too long without breaks. It’s definitely not meant to be a permanent solution.

I’d say good old fashion politeness like saying good morning, giving someone a (real) compliment, and other small random acts of kindness. You do it because you want to not because you expect something.

Haha I took your advice and went to my settings to block it only to find out I already had done it. 😂

Well I would like to wish you and anyone else who’s celebrating a Happy Ramadan.

My husband’s 2003 Camry is still running. We have to rebuild the right front boot every 4-5 years and the plastic is beginning to dry rot, but other than that it just won’t quit. I think it’s got 180k some miles on it but at this point I’ve quit looking at the odometer because the car is going to outlive both of us.

This reminds me of a running gag my husband and I have. One night while I was at work he called me to ask where I put the colander because he wanted to make macaroni. It must have been a weird sounding one-sided conversation to my coworkers because when I got off the phone one of them asked me if “where’s the colander” was out code word for “let’s have sex tonight.” I told my husband the story later and needless to say it became our code word for sexy times.

I tell myself every day that I’m not working out for my beach body, I’m working out for my old lady body. I just want to be able to tie my own shoes when I’m 70.

They want something to feel special about. Conservatives love getting away with stuff that is “wrong” and since society has normalized a lot of previously “wrong” behaviors these people no longer have anything to feel special about. Subjugating others is how they get off.
