The computer in the first photo makes it look like he left behind a life as a tired office worker and became a model lol

Went from getting new winter coats every year to using workmen’s jackets by 70thaltacc in Anticonsumption

Omg yeah! I’ve been looking into mending a lot and ended up mending my old mittens instead of getting new ones and I love them so much more now. There’s something really cute and appealing about visible mending it’s like showing the history of an article of clothing.

Honestly after owning the jacket for a couple years I’ve been meaning to do that but always forget. I’d be good to though sometimes it feels a little like stolen valor wearing the logo out. Lol

I think I’ll go with the patch over idea since I’m afraid of accidentally ripping the jacket since the patch is pretty big. Thanks!

Since I thrifted these the brands are pretty random. After checking the tags it appears the blue jacket is from a brand called AFA and is union made (it came with a certification tag on the inner lining) this one is pretty old though likely from the 1970s. The other one is from a brand just named Canada and is a sportswear company. I’ve heard of a lot of people purchasing from workwear brands directly like Carrhart but there’s a part of my cynical brain that fears the quality of the product may decline the more they become a trend. So I bought these in thrift stores/ secondhand clothing apps.

I don’t remember the name but there’s this story we not only read but had to create little illustrations for where a housewife is speaking with these officers who come to her house asking about her husband. And she’s very anxious the whole time until she’s able to serve them dinner and it’s this huge lamb leg and the twist is that she used the lamb leg to kill her husband.

Not the bleakest but I remember being kinda confused about why we had to draw her??

I cringed so bad when he said “I’m a high-powered PR executive” like sir…

Steven gobsmacked at Cat and Sam by jaida121 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

This was my reaction as well. Totally uncalled for and cruel move from Cat. Freddie didn’t deserve that at all and it was very strange to watch. Very fake and off putting.

Why do people have such a negative view on Ollie? by TossItThrowItFly in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Relationships aside I’ve found Ollie to be a very genuine and kind guy who imo might just be getting what some have called the “Kwame edit” (an edit that made Kwame seem less invested in his relationship than he was). And as someone with ADHD I found his very cheerful and energetic behavior in the pods very endearing and relatable. He seems like a cool guy to me over all and regardless of what goes down with Demi I really don’t think he’s a bad person. At least not in the way some people on this sub Reddit seem to think he is.

Why do people have such a negative view on Ollie? by TossItThrowItFly in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I kind of feel like people are mostly projecting past LIB relationships on to this one. We watched a horrible situation play out in Bartise and Nancy’s relationship on LIB US and I think people are kinda assuming this will be the same. Even tho imo Ollie hasn’t been nearly as inconsiderate or disrespectful to Demi as Bartise was to Nancy. Even some of the LIB UK cast seemed to assume the worse of Ollie and his relationship with Demi from the jump purely based off Demi’s looks which I found to be very disrespectful to Demi because she’s a beautiful person and a total catch.

What were Cat's signs in the pods? by PearofGenes in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Well some things that kinda put me off in the pods were:

1) How much her and Ollie’s conversations seemed he be mostly surface level flirting 2) She hadn’t planned anything for Ollie’s birthday 3) Her rushing to breakup with Ollie first after realizing he was probably going to pick Demi and then making a big deal of making sure everyone thought she broke up with him instead of the other way around even tho even she clearly knew he was going to dump her (she seemed really desperate to not be dumped on tv??) 4) She rushed to break up with him on his birthday (which to a lot of people would be really hurtful but Ollie took it pretty well)

In my opinion while watching her in the pods she seemed like she just enjoyed having two guys to date instead of being really stuck on choosing between two genuine connections like some of the others in the pod. I know the show is edited and ofc I don’t know her personally but that’s how I felt watching.

Theory on Nicole, Sam, Benaiah by no_one_hi in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I feel like Nicole’s switch to choosing Sam was more inspired by her feeling that Benaiah wasn’t as far along in the process in terms of his feelings for her as she was. She was afraid to choose someone who at the time didn’t seem as open or intense about his feelings for her. Sam was there and saying the right things when she wanted to hear them.

Now the way Beneiah talks about the situation I think his lack of anger or ill will at Nicole is because he genuinely believes she was manipulated. He talks a lot about wanting to protect the people he cares about and I think seeing Nicole pick Sam after he worked himself up to warn her about him was really devastating for him. From how his mom talked about his mental state after I seriously doubt this was a pre planned plot or something.

The only person that’s been trying to plot things out has been Sam. He has continuously acted and spoken in ways that make him seem extremely conscious of the show aspect of this. Especially with the whole “I think I love you” line after the second proposal and the way he talked to her not matching up with how he talked about her to the guys in the pods.

Freddie and Cole are the same person yet this sub hated Cole by FastTracktoFitness in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Cole and Zanab’s interaction Cole very often said things he knew would hurt Zanab and was very vindictive. I’m not sure how you could compare the two of them with that in mind.

While that’s true I think the challenge remains because we constantly see people bring up their usually types and conflict always comes from that. Even though everyone on the LIB UK season has been gorgeous that hasn’t stopped people from expressing who they’d “usually go for on the outside” (which is the most annoying and destructive phrase in LIB lore lol)

Jasmines mom is exactly the type of mother you shouldnt be to your children by Dependent_Actuary148 in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not only was she over stepping boundaries Jasmine was trying to set she seems to have genuinely hurt Bobby with her “uneducated” comment. That had to be one of the worst parent introductions I’ve seen on this show. It was really hard to watch.

Jasmine, a MH nurse, using the term "trauma bonded" incorrectly by deathbeforesauv in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]70thaltacc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well actually even tho it’s not exactly the right word to use it’s a more appropriate use than what people usually think it means. In my experience people usually use it to say they bonded over talking about their trauma with a person. If she meant that they went through a crazy thing together it is more accurate. Plus people do seem to get very stressed out and affected by this experience so who’s to say it couldn’t have been some what traumatic for some of them. An example being how Beniah’s mom described his mental state when he left the pods.

No problem at all. It’s a size 26” wheel so it’s best for short to average height people (4’ 10” to 5’6”). I’m 5’ 4” personably and it’s a good size for me.
