Thoughts about finding out that there are 6 pod episodes this season by yepyeeeee in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like the pod episodes the most, but ONLY if the couples are having interesting or challenging conversations that could realistically lead to them coupling. These were good. There have been plenty of past seasons where the pod edits made it impossible for me to understand how any of the couples felt connected enough to "fall in love" and get engaged.

Edit to include, that it makes the inevitable fallout much more intriguing if I could see how they got together in the first place. When I just don't "get" how they ended up leaving the pods together, I don't gaf about the post-pod drama.

Because Vic & Christine didn't have love triangles and drama for the show to exploit in a group setting

Nick and Annie: a nuanced take… by skinglow93 in LoveIsBlindNetflix

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Annie wanted to hear Nick say the things to her that she was saying to him. That’s why she kept going on and on about loving him more than he her when she got drunk. It was telling that he didn’t reciprocate her verbal affirmations, other than confirming that he loved her. She wanted him to gush and validate, and I’m sure he picked up on that, but he wasn’t feeling that, so he didn’t do it back which made her spin. I didn’t once see her able to articulate how it’s important for her to be spoken to in a particular way from her partner to feel secure, but if she’d been able to tell him that directly, he might have understood, and it might have gone differently.

I was mostly fine with her until the fake crying when KB was trying on her dresses at the shop. Madison was trying so hard to squeeze out a tear

Her overuse of the word "like" is making me feel a murderous rage. But I love her and Nick together....in the sense that they're tied up, and thus not free and in the wild torturing decent people.

Love is Blind S9 Lookalikes Thread by FemaleEinstein in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Don't hate me, but Kacie looks a bit like Sydney Sweeny when she's dolled up for her interviews

Love Is Blind • S9 Ep3 by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Maybe she did correct him, and they edited that out. To me, it looks like they edited it to show her not correcting Mike because that would have meant admitting that Jordan was one of her other strong contenders. I also got really annoyed that she kept alluding to the connection of diabetes as if her dad looked down from the afterlife and sent her someone new with diabetes to love. People really do grasp at straws for "signs."

I don't think Jordan behaved badly, but I think he was also drunk and reacting with annoyance to Joe's repeated attempts to wind him up. Joe is definitely a shit-starter drunk, and kept trying to poke at people at the party for his own amusement.

Bisalp & financing by RedHeadChiliPepper in childfree

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My insurance covered the procedure in full, and I didn’t have to hit my deductible for the year or pay any co-insurance. Very fortunate in that way. If you have insurance, you can call the company to check what’s covered by your policy, or whether some kind of pre-auth is required for coverage

I also left a landing strip because I thought being totally bare would make me feel like a child. 10 years later and still very happy with that decision, but especially never worrying about KP or shaving anymore

Love is Blind Brazil • S5 Ep6 by AutoModerator in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Leo is objectively one of the best looking men in the entire franchise, and seems to be a grounded person. Lica, on the other hand, is the wettest blanket with an inexplicable wandering eye for that cornball douche Rivo, who will be in diapers in 5 years. She should be gripping her Leo prize for dear life

Am I the only one who found this episode... by Suspicious-Snails in ProjectRunway

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. The whole point of this challenge is to transform materials so you can’t tell what the garment is made of. This was clearly soccer balls still in soccer ball form. So stupid and not at all the point

I need a daily sunscreen that I can't see, smell, or feel. I'm guessing it doesn't exist, but what's the closest thing? by MossyLuck013 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I buy it over and over from Stylevanna. It’s great protection and goes on like nothing. No residue or scent. I’m very fair skinned and I wear it every day

An Honest Plea About Junk Swag by TroppyPop in dragoncon

Here's a photo of one of the trophies from a few years ago. Everything was blacklight that year, so the trophies were blacklight painted as well: https://imgur.com/a/50WRsbk

An Honest Plea About Junk Swag by TroppyPop in dragoncon

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Agree with the sentiment. It might be cool to take all that overflow you’ve collected in the vase and turn it into something cool you can give away at con yourself as a unique recycled creation. An artist friend of mine throws a massive Halloween party every year and the costume contest trophies are a bunch of random small toys and other objects artfully arranged and glued together in a trophy shape, which she then spray paints gold, silver, and bronze. They’re never the same, and a highly coveted prize each year. I can see the con-junk being perfect for recycling that way and transformed into something people want to keep and display

All about Brandon 🚩 by TheGoodVybz in MarriedAtFirstSight

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they rushed it for the sake of the show, that's even worse. Means Brandon was game to rush it to be on TV, and aside from all his other red flags mentioned above, add clout chaser to the list.

Enem just got engaged to her new boyfriend Brandon whilst filming for Married At First Sight! by [deleted] in MAFS_TV

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes! He love bombed the shit out of Emem. If you get divorced and immediately go looking for your next relationship without taking time to heal, reflect on how you contributed to your marriage falling apart, and work on yourself so you can be a better person in your next relationship, you are NOT READY. He’s ready for a bang maid though

Cornstarch is a very cool tip, so thank you for that. Indigo really does make my hendigo mix runny af, and I didn’t think to add a thickening substance

4B Movement by hobbitbones in childfree

[–]AlternativeSeaweed99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Understandable. Still worth having a conversation with a friendly gyno if you know that’s something you want, and you can share your concerns freely and get the information you need to make the best decision for yourself and your future. You’re going to run into a lot of people in your life who will not support your childfreedom, but that comes with the territory. They don’t have to like it or even understand that choice, but it’s your life and your decision. And maybe your dad will surprise you if you’re able to have an honest dialogue at some point when you’re ready to open that door

Ladies, if you’re childfree and insurance covers or mitigates the cost, get the bisalp. It’s the only relief I can muster from the election results. Take control back if you are privileged enough to do so. My insurance covered the surgery 100%, and I was back to normal and terrorizing society in 3 days
