Reply to I made this with my hands by Antsculpt
I once asked someone how they made the wares they were selling in Cuenca, Ecuador.
He said with great bluster and pride, "¡con mi manos!"
Nice work, please tell your hands they did a good job.

So good it's almost inappropriate. This is very interesting but personally I'd let it slide.
Love this.

This is the best explanation in the thread. Nicely done.
Real estate is a good investment in my opinion. But just like all investments the key is to buy low and hold/leverage or sell high.
Easy enough to say and it can be done, good Lord willing and the creek don't rise. Takes time, energy, money, and luck though.

Obviously a subreddit full of whack jobs is a far better source of information.
But I'm glad you disclosed where you get your info from and what you consider a reliable source. I'm sure that will help OP properly contextualize your suggestions.

I am 100% certain that subreddit is full of pseudoscience.
OP, please do not go to that sub and work yourself into a frenzy.
No, it's not good to be exposed to mold. However, the most likely outcome is allergies. Like, regular allergy symptoms. Many insane "medical conditions" are attributed to mold exposure without evidence.
Again, I'm not saying mold is good for you. I'm saying alarmist pseudoscience doesn't help anyone.

No, not necessarily. It matters which cardinal direction each wall faces.
And what you've said about it being more pronounced up near the ceiling does not square with my understanding of the situation. It matters where the air supply diffusers are directed, the position of the doors and windows, and other factors like insulation.
I'm not saying there's definitely no additional water intrusion, but I'm not understanding the reasoning you're using.
Edit: thanks for confirming that the "reasoning" you're using here is... None. Suspicion. Alarmism.

Yes, it does: you are going to struggle to really get rid of it in that case, because you can't remove the substrate on which it's growing, which is the plaster. It's porous to a degree, which will have allowed the hyphae of the mold to get down into the material.
I don't usually deal with that type of construction, I deal with drywall, but since the impacted materials can't be removed, I'd focus on killing it, sealing the wall, and not allowing it to return.
I recommend covering up any HVAC returns in this space while you remove the wallpaper and clean the walls. I suggest a quaternary ammonium to clean and kill, and then when the wall is completely dry, apply a coating that is designed to prevent mold growth. There are many brands, PPG makes a good one. Kilz makes a poor one.
Then do your best to ensure you keep your home within bounds for air quality to prevent condensation from occurring indoors. I don't live in a cold climate so I'd need to look up some additional details regarding that, but you can check ASHRAE for guidance.

It's an exterior wall with wallpaper on it. That's acting as a vapor barrier. There may or may not be additional water intrusion, but there doesn't need to be for this to happen. Water is condensing between the wallpaper and the wall bc of poor insulation and temperature differentials from outside to inside, that's my assessment.

You should not put wallpaper on exterior walls. There's mold growing behind it now. The drywall should be removed and replaced. Do not put vinyl wallpaper back on these walls or it will happen again.

Reply to comment by cognitivexdissonance in Can’t take a relaxing bath without this one (Zelda) asking for head scratches by cognitivexdissonance
Ha, I figured she would not want a bath of her own, I just meant she looks very happy in this picture. Cats love to play of course. My tuxedo likes to play snek (he likes long skinny toys, his favorite thing ever was a robe belt) and my other cat likes crinkly ball (mylar toys sold for cats, but it's just shiny crinkly stuff like the shiny balloons are made of).
Whatever she's into other than escaping and eating plants, I hope she stays happy and healthy!

I have a tuxedo with a very similar face, pink nose. Do you notice that sometimes the nose is very pale but when they're happy and purring a lot or being active, it's very pink?
It makes sense but it's cool to observe. She clearly likes bath time!

Reply to Boyfriend (22M) seems upset when I(26M) want time alone or to spend time with my grandparents by [deleted]
It sounds like he's bothered that he wasn't invited to be part of the celebration, which I can kind of understand, but I'd need more information to know if that's reasonable or not.
Such as, do your grandparents know you're gay, do they know you're in a relationship, have you met your bfs family, has he met the rest of yours, etc.
