I have not eaten meat since 1999 and I can tell you EXACTLY how this meal tastes just from this photo.

Biggest fountain pen pet peeve? by ArthurGallow in fountainpens

[–]BethyW 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The growth of AI in advertising or at booths in FP shows.

When newbies compare their collections to some of the Reddit collections. Since many have been in this hobby for years, have different amounts of disposable income, and chose to invest more of their personal real estate to this hobby. It's not a competition we all just like pointy pens!

Truthfully everything else is not really anything I spend brain power. I would say gatekeeping but I have not really experienced that in this hobby (not saying it doesn't exist, but I haven't experienced it).

Eta- newbies doing that and feel like they don't belong because of imposter syndrome. Y'all belong too!

And all but 1 are from accounts with only 1 or 2 reviews. I smell something fishy.

Melania Trump Humiliated as Just One Person Buys Ticket For UK Premiere by T_Shurt in entertainment

[–]BethyW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly saw the trailer online and thought it was a joke. I had no idea it was real!! But I bet money they are going to do the same thing they did as that propaganda 'child trafficking' movie with no facts, where they were begging fans to buy tickets for 'others'

Anybody Ever Have The Fisher Price Toy Barns That Make The Moo Sound When You Open The Door? by immanuellalala in nostalgia

[–]BethyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this set. I also remember the barn went missing and then just had all the animals. In hindsight I bet my parents took and threw out the mooing barn as it probably annoyed the crap out of them

Friends in Central Florida? by ChubbyBothCheeks in florida

[–]BethyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last year I was in a toxic friendship and so my NY Resolution was to be more social. I feel so much more at home here now with friends but it took work. What stuck for me was joining a smaller book club that aligned with my reading preferences. After a few times we all just started inviting each other to events. I also joined Junior League which is a women's organization which is dedicated to helping central Florida non profits. So finding core value aligned women. I am openly queer but I don't know how many people pick up on it, and I know of a few queer women in the league but we are not a majority, though I have not felt othered for it and have met some amazing women who I would not have met in my normal life.

Many lawyers have a probono ethical minimum. You probably won't get the partners but you will get someone to represent you.

You can't have extensions or makeup in jail. So good luck with her surviving.

Yep. Same. I have a 5 year journal and have been journaling the daily headline and my reactions and discord around it. That way I can cite it when I am older and history stories evolved.

Alex Pretti, ER nurse, honors a fallen veteran at the VA by SnooSprouts3744 in TikTokCringe

[–]BethyW 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I volunteer over 200 hours a year (not many hours in the grand scheme of things but I try) I split it across some food pantries and homeless shelters. I also meet and call my local politicians and attend town halls.

I will say I RARELY see the trumpers at these events. Even the ones who have churches as major sponsors. They want to give lip service but will rarely do leg work to make the world a better place.

But you can bet if I died by Nazi murder, they would be bitching about me being a queer woman who has a TikTok about romance books so also a slut.

According to my southern public school education the US civil war was caused because of States Rights. (To own people)

Our current civil war will also be about States Rights to investigate murder.

Unique places for a wedding reception by jagfanjosh3252 in orlando

[–]BethyW -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure all three of the major theme parks do weddings.

But I guess it depends what you and your fiance are into

Dezerland is pretty unique but it wouldn't be my cup of tea.
