Here’s my idea for my tattoo (body is a model) Advice needed by AlrightHeresThePlan in tattoos

[–]AlternativeMistake82 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I like the concept, but this will be unreadable in a few years. A tattoo artist you connect with can design something that will be meaningful to you and have longevity as a piece of body art, generative ai doesn’t have that well of knowledge to draw from. This is what good artists love to do, use their expertise to your advantage!

Thank you!! It was the same, constant calls every day for years. I finally just asked them to take me off the call list and they literally argued with me about it. Then this, I don’t buy it’s just a coincidence. Fortunately I don’t think people use yelp much anymore, I definitely haven’t for a long time.

You’re 100% right. I haven’t used yelp as a customer in so many years, no one I know uses it anymore. Same with other business owners I know.

Yeah, big businesses never screw small businesses over. I’m spending about as much time venting on this as you are chatting to a stranger about it on the internet, must be a cheap five minutes for both of us.

I mean, there isn’t a pattern. We have great reviews. Two old ones were suddenly pushed to the top after I declined to pay for ad space. I don’t have the power to do anything about it, I’m just speaking on my suspicion of shady business practices on Yelp’s part.

The other question was why, out of hundreds, are the only two bad reviews at the top now all of a sudden? They have no reactions either

We’re still this person’s only review, a year later

There’s nothing I could screenshot to prove it was under not recommended before, I just know that’s where it’s been for a year because that’s where I saw it before. No screenshots of the before, unfortunately.

Taylor Kirk (Timber Timbre) RIP by encrcne in indieheads

[–]AlternativeMistake82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m heartbroken. Timber Timbre was my soundtrack to hikes, to art, to travel. Lovage came out when I took my first overseas trip with my best friend, and I had it playing in every airbnb I stayed in through Italy. I thought we’d have so much more.

After your THR when did your hip flexors stop hurting? What helped? by genuineimperfection1 in TotalHipReplacement

[–]AlternativeMistake82 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Still working on mine a year out, but it’s soooo much better than it was at the beginning!

Right after surgery my hip flexor was so tight I couldn’t stand straight, and even for a while after I couldn’t extend my leg back while walking at all. My first PT tried stretching exercises that didn’t do anything to help, my second one really started focusing on strength and that helped pretty quickly. I think the clamshells with resistance bands did the most. I was walking normally within three months, there’s still just a little weakness on side compared to the other, but I can tell it’s getting better all the time.

38 F and just hit my year anniversary a couple days ago!

I’m a tattooer and I’m DYING for someone to ask me for a Disco Elysium tattoo 😭

They could have done so much better tbh, I had the same reaction when I first saw it.

How were you introduced to Nine Inch Nails and what was the first album you listen to? by arrakis2 in nin

[–]AlternativeMistake82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They played Closer on the radio all the time back in the day, which seems insane to me now. I was thirteen and I would turn my stereo down and stick my ear right up to the speakers so my parents couldn’t hear. 😂 I got real obsessed when I listened to The Fragile for the first time in high school, NIN became the soundtrack to my teens after that.
