EfreetSKThe wife, the problem, the reason [Arcade Rage]
DiplomjodlerTime to buy a dishwasher.
embThere’s an old Mitch Hedberg joke that goes something like “This shirt is dry clean only, which means… it’s dirty”
I think the same applies exactly for dishes that aren’t dishwasher safe. I have a dishwasher but my sink still has a pile of dishes waiting.
Simply only buy dishes that are dishwasher safe.

Rusty@emb @Diplomjodler3 do you want a frozen banana?
This, but both ways. Neither my wife nor me washes the dishes regularly. Needless to say a dishwasher was a game changer.
Sisko UrsoBut you still have to somewhat wash them before they go in the dishwasher.
Only sometimes. Just put everything in as is and hand wash what doesn’t come out clean. This applies more to newer washers rather than the old ones that just redistribute the filth.
Sadly I have an older one that requires more pre washing.
Dozzi92I remove solids, especially vegetable matter, cell walls and all that. But mainly a fork over the garbage, and on some occasions a light rinse.
And I’ve seen every TC video there is. Even made a patron account just to sub to him. But I could never get the desired result from dishwasher dust, and so I’m a pod man, and I’m happy with what I see, and that’s that.
Allegedly that is the fault of the pods your using ;) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHP942Livy0
Your dishwasher is better than you think (tips, tricks, and how they work)
Let your dishwasher do the work for you!Links 'n' stuff:The Connextras video on my dishwasher's program change-up:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kp3bjm55xw...
The easy fix TL;DW (though you should, Alex is great) is to, right before starting the dishwasher, run the hot water until the tap is as hot as it gets. Drastically improved outcomes.
I took away from his video it’s to put detergent in both spots because there’s two rinses. The running to get hot is just cherry on top to help more
I switched off of pods a few years ago to just dishwashing liquid soap and it has been better.
@Zwiebel @siskourso dont use pods, run the hot water from the sink before starting dishwasher. Make sure your dishwasher is actually plumbed right. Mine was a separate line not tied to the sink so it ran on cold water for the first 2 minutes.
venusaurI’m the one who did the dishes, cleaning, groceries, kids, after I cleaned she would make a mess then yell at me for being a slob and not keeping the house clean, also I worked full-time. When the dishwasher broke she blamed me because I’m the only one who loaded/unloaded it. when I fixed it with proof it wasn’t my fault, it was still my fault.
abusive relationships really mess with your senses of reality.
That’s painful to read. Hope you are able to untangle yourself from that mess.
Did you manage to get out?
Yo are you still in aforementioned relationship hell?
no, she still is a nightmare because kids and custody battles, but I’m not in a much healthy poly thing.
Dude are you me? Similar situation, my ex was/is a raging narcissist who would absolutely trash the house. Kitchen was a disaster because she was an aspiring cake decorator who never bothered to clean up after herself and would fill entire 8 foot folding tables with her crap for weeks on end. Never lifted a finger with the rest of the house, actively trashed everything and her strategy was to wait for me to reach a breaking point where I had to rage clean for my own sanity, then she’d do it all over again. She was and is a shit parent and a deadbeat. There’s sooo much more and it all ended poorly… For her, at least. I’m out of that situation now, but it took me a long time to admit I was in an abusive relationship.
However little resources are for women escaping abusive relationship, there are even less for men. there should be more resources. When I called the police when I was being hit, all they told me is that if I were to touch her they would take me away. but me getting mauled is OK for them.
My saving grace was that the last time she hit me, it was on camera. Video evidence goes a long way toward forcing the hand of the police.
my daughter saw her kicking me while I was in the floor, it was recorded (audio only), police said it wasn’t enough evidence, despite my daughter’s testimony.
Ack no, not in my house. I cook, husband does the dishes usually. I clean the dishwasher filter, maintain the machine and tell him not to clean the dishes before they go in. He doesn’t usually wash my cast iron because he was messing it up (which is not easy to do but he managed it) but all the regular dishes and most of the pots & pans are his world because he wants me to cook.
The opposite is normally true for my SO and I. They will still accuse me of making the mess but once I sort things into piles and show the mess is from them they are always very surprised.
SomeonelolThat would only serve to piss off my SO.
I think one of the issues couples have with cleaning is that everyone has different schedules and approaches
I never clean during weekdays, sorry but work fucks me up and when I come home I want all relaxation
When the weekend starts after my Saturday morning I’ll go on a quick cleaning binge, and then Sunday night I do another clean binge and repeat
I think, there are some things that can’t “wait”, dishes, always after meal. I never want to arrive in my kitchen and it’s full of dirty dishes.
i don’t own enough dishes for it to be a problem
Spend two hours of your precious weekend cleaning or 15 minutes once a day so it stays clean throughout the week.
Hmmm decisions decisions.
Same. If it’s something I can just rinse or wipe down I’ll do it now but if it’s going to require elbow grease it will keep til Saturday (or soak til tomorrow when it will be rinse and wipeable). Saturdays are for cleaning. Every few weeks I take a Monday so I can deep clean without regret.
ChristianI always found it overwhelming to get started on big messes, so cleaning everything up immediately would get around my executive dysfunction. When I got in a relationship with someone whose approach was to be a human hurricane and then deep clean every once in a while it was a culture shock and it took years of me being a bad partner to become more responsible. I didn’t really understand the executive dysfunction so I self-loathed over it.
Is it meant to be obscure? I only recognized it because some youtubers I watch played it for a couple weeks.
I can’t even remember the name of the game and I still recognised it. That’s the sign of a game with a distinct artstyle and therefore probably not a bad sign on your part.
Only if it’s bad that I recognized he’s on buried city, wielding a kettle in front of a wasp and a rocketeer
TattorackMy wife says im pretty good with these things over other guys shes known. My main thing is hey if im doing dishes or laundry its because it needs to be done and other things I might do get pushed down. Im unemployed right now though so not much of an issue of having time.
I do 75% of the house work. Fuck this dated noise.
Oh chill out. The entire premise of this strip is that the guy in the third panel usually DOES do the dishes. Don’t be so fragile and masculine.
Worthless bickering that’s divisive.
Then way the fuck are you partaking?
Where did I post divisive comics or content designed based of 50 year old norms and stereotypes? I’m not quite following your logic.
Men like you are constantly under comics like this bitching and moaning discrimination over the literal smallest issues. It’s truly pathetic.
