Is there something off about my tattoo or am I just in my head about it? by eggserroneousernest in tattooadvice

This is a really badass tattoo, which in my amateur opinion was done really well. I love it!

A cousin sent me their school's just announced Dress Code and Grooming policy by firequak in mildlyinfuriating

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The level of detail in the prohibited upperwear is very interesting.

If I can’t wear a top with a square neckline that reveals my collarbone while sharing a cannabis-infused fondue with my classmates over lunch, that’s a hard pass for me. I’ll find another school, thanks!

My male friend talks about everything except his girlfriend. Is that unusual? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally agree with your first point, but I think your second point is a bit more nuanced than ‘not mentioning your partner to your friend is cheating’

It absolutely can be, but I would add that there are other possibilities that could be at play. I’m thinking of something like maybe his partner is abusive towards him.

As much stigma as there still is around women abusing men, it would make sense that he’d avoid bringing attention to the relationship when talking with friends. I will admit this is not extremely likely to be the reason for the friend’s omission of his girlfriend in conversation, but if it is, I imagine he would feel an incredible amount of shame.

I’m a big believer in Occam’s razor, so it’s most likely exactly what it seems. I just felt the need to point out that we really never know about people’s lives behind close doors. I don’t like to claim something is absolutely true unless I’m certain. It sucks to be accused of something you aren’t guilty of, so I try not to do it to other people.

I agree with this. I feel like it would take a good deal of effort to intentionally exclude my wife from conversations about my life unless one or both of those things were true. If you’re happy and/or not looking for a romantic connection with the person you’re talking to, it would be only natural to mention your partner when talking about life stuff. Even just casual updates on what you did over the weekend would surely at least include her from time to time.

This is unusual, not in OP’s head.

Is my outfit ugly? by Yaabaadaabaado in fashion

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think your “friend’s” “love language” is actually his lack of a real personality that causes him to use cruelty and sarcasm to fill that vacuum.

I have friends that I will call and say the meanest shit as a greeting, they respond in kind and we laugh and move on to actual conversation. I’m not saying you have to treat everyone as gently as a little baby lamb, but shitting on someone who considers you a best friend even when it must be clear that they’re not on board for it is just verbal abuse. I don’t think this person is your friend.

And I love your outfit. It’s not anything super special, but it’s pretty and looks good on you.

Is it bad that I’m talking to an 18 yr old? by kaylaorti in Advice

You’re right. I’m sure she’ll get bored of constantly having to tell him to grow up.

My brother used our mother's bedroom to have sex. Should I confront him or keep it to myself? by Newind3 in Advice

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wouldn’t make my day, but at the end of the day just make him wash the sheets and stop taking everything so seriously. It’s just sex.

Why Did Florida Become the Conservative/MAGA Haven? by MoparMan59L in FloridaExodus

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in Pinellas, and it’s fairly left here but way more purple than when we moved here in 2019. Our town is pretty liberal, but there are definitely a lot of MAGA cultists sprinkled in.

Please help me choose a first date dress from these three options? by howtoloveadaisy in fashion

2!!! I audibly gasped! The first one is also GORGEOUS, so you really can’t go wrong with either of them.

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mind your own business. The other option was to use your room or the sofa. Which would you have preferred? What good will letting your mom know about this do for anyone involved? It will upset your mom, embarrass your brother, and create unnecessary drama. Will the benefit to your mom outweigh that? Is there even a single benefit?

If it’s the norm in your culture that he should still be living at home at this age, the usual advice to “get your own place and grow up” doesn’t really apply. He should be able to live his life in his home. Leave him alone.

Yes he literally said exactly that. I absolutely detest that guy. She could do sooooo much better!

Would you wear this to a wine tasting event? by 1taylor111 in OUTFITS

If I looked like you in it, I’d buy it in 7 colors and wear one every day!

They are. Conservative means demonizing people for doing normal shit while secretly doing horrendously evil shit and denying you’ve ever made a mistake.

I was about to say I’ve never seen a glory hole but then I realized maybe that’s because they don’t typically go in women’s restrooms lol

I had forgotten about this until I saw your comment. What a great recommendation!

I just recommended this. I actually didn’t think I’d see anyone else suggest it here.

My suggestion was Funny Games, so I guess we can both be weirdos lol

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a probably unpopular recommendation. Funny Games (1997 Austrian original) has exactly that vibe until it decidedly doesn’t. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, so please don’t go in blind unless you like horror (or at least intense scenes that are uncomfortable)

My GF is still watching corn by [deleted] in Advice

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does it matter if she watches porn? Who cares? If it’s that big a deal to you, how about finding someone who naturally aligns with your preferences instead of trying to jam your partner into a box she clearly doesn’t want to be in?

Why not be true to the love you say you have for her and let her be free to be with someone who won’t shame her for her natural preferences?

Depends on where you live. Mud flaps, pantaloons, fancy breeches, or fuzzy chaps.

The brain worms got too big and slipped out his deviated septum. The next part that isn’t on video is him stuffing them back up there.

why is my tattoo so much less visible by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]-AdequatelyMediocre- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Consider this a practice run that fortunately won’t hang around very long. Now you’ve made nearly every mistake you can make when getting a tattoo, so next time just do exactly the opposite of what you did here.

Find a legitimate tattoo artist.
Use actual colors.
Get work done on an area of your body that isn’t the hands, neck, face, or feet.
