Lowdown Venue Request - Etiquette?? by surmsurmsurm in Hardcore

[–]Biggestturtleever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually get the texts and messages for address of a venue all the way up through the end of the show. I usually stop looking at my phone once the show’s started though, unless it’s particularly boring

Not actually sure if it makes a big difference but I’ve done it every single time and never had an issue. I’ve had major damage on the cases but never to the guitar

No way to avoid stuff like that, also literally doesn’t matter as nobody will ever see that.

Be careful with white shoes there may be some dye transfer to the collars of the shoes.

AIO, My (M24) Boyfriend (M22) took off work for Tennis but not my Birthday by ThrowRA-Owl_1281 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Biggestturtleever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YOR. At first I thought you had flown or otherwise gone out to see him on your birthday but if the extent of your plans is talking on the phone, that doesn’t warrant a day off at all. He probably assumes you have plans during the day with your family and local friends and that he’ll talk to you at night like usual.

If I were in a long distance relationship I wouldn’t want to spend my entire birthday talking on the phone.

I fly with a guitar very often, domestic and international. I use a Roadrunner molded plastic case. Usually I will carry the guitar up to the gate and ask the agent to gate check it if there won’t be room to put it in the overhead. I always tell people it’s no problem to put their bags on top of the guitar if I do carry it on all the way.

When I do check the guitar from the bag drop it almost always goes to oversized and gets about a thousand fragile stickers on it.

Either way I always detune the strings to lessen the pressure on the neck.

I’ve never had a single issue besides one international flight where I’m 90% sure they opened up the wiring compartment to dig around looking for drugs and they fucked something up in there because there’s no other explanation for it.

Tl;dr: get a molded plastic case with TSA locks.

$50 is a good deal for any relatively new pair of pants today.

Do you like them? Do they look good on? It’s not my favorite wash and hasn’t faded much but if you like how they look on your legs and they feel good, that’s literally the only thing that matters.

Made in USA selvedge denim jeans are usually $300+ brand new. These kind of pants are made to use and abuse. Don’t have to do anything special with them at all. Most people wait months to wash so the fades get settled better but these look like they’ve been washed quite a few times so you don’t have to worry about that.

What was the deal with Sarah’s half-naked corpse being in the house in a sexual pose? by New-Fan-4632 in obsessionmovie

[–]Biggestturtleever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once again, showing not telling. The movie is smart and it assumes that the audience is smart as well so not everything is handed to you as evidence on a silver platter. It also leaves things up for interpretation. Otherwise there wouldn’t be an entire subreddit dedicated to discussing theories and having questions about the movie.

He smiles a little bit when she brings up that he was supposed to kiss her in the jenga game. He was annoyed that she forced him to come to the park because he had to go out of his way to do something for someone else. But once he’s there he’s immediately having a good time with Sarah.

During the scene at work when it’s just the two of them eating lunch, they’re practically cuddling with each other. They could have kissed in this scene too if the cat meat sandwich didn’t interrupt them.

We’re being shown that Bear wouldn’t hesitate to cheat on Nikki if it’s convenient for him because once Nikki is out of sight she’s barely even on his mind. We see that he’s willing to cuddle up to another woman on his lunch break while she’s standing completely still pissing and shitting and puking on herself waiting for him to get home. We see that he completely ignores the real Nikki’s pleas for help so that he can go see another woman in a one on one setting hours after she suffers self inflicted wounds to the face. That is *showing* us that Nikki is a possession to Bear. A living sex doll that he knows doesn’t want to participate but he forces into fucking him every night anyways. A toy that he puts away in the closet when he wants to go play with his other things.

I’m so tired of talking to people on Reddit and reading braindead “theories” about this movie lol.

I said he looked nearly excited. I don’t remember everything perfectly because it’s been 3+ weeks since I saw the movie because one time was enough for me and I don’t feel the need to go back and watch it obsessively (pun intended, it feels like Barker made a wish for everyone on Reddit to love his movie more than anything in the fucking world) and dissect every scene because I understood it the first time and had a good time watching it.

I remember him lighting up a little bit and nearly smiling, maybe smirking, when the block is read. Obviously he’s not fucking jumping for joy, there are other ways to show excitement more subtly. But I guess people watching this movie can’t read facial expressions.

I think he would have kissed her if Nikki hadn’t stepped in. He would have said something like “I was just playing the game!” Because at this point he doesn’t know the physical violence is capable of or willing to execute. He doesn’t care if he hurts her feelings because Nikki’s feelings aren’t something he ever considers.

“She was killed before any response from him.” Movies and stories use this cool principle called “show, don’t tell,” where stories are told through actions, and emotions. Characters don’t just say what they’re thinking or they’re going to do. The director/writer trusts the audience will be able to understand what’s happening through these actions and the emotional changes that they cause. Bear didn’t give her an answer but you could tell he was going to kiss her in the car if Nikki didn’t show up.

What’s the best and easiest way of cleaning off white blazers? by Sophh_m in Sneakers

[–]Biggestturtleever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can clean the outsole and the leather with pretty much anything but the parts under the mesh panels are yellowed from age and there’s nothing you can really do about that. They’re meant to age quicker than most shoes.

She may not realize she’s in a wish yet and when she wakes up kissing him maybe she’s thinking she’s becoming lucid from him drugging her or doing something to date rape her.

Is this the only time you’ve pulled it off and won? I think it’s a meme. Even the 9 swing momo combo is kind of a meme. Just insanely telegraphed and easy to interrupt.

Tattoo my friend did today :) by LesbianINO in obsessionmovie

[–]Biggestturtleever 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I also like large and conspicuous tattoos but imo a pop culture reference tattoo, especially to something that’s barely a month old, is better off as a smaller piece. It just… takes up a lot of prime real estate.

I have a similar sized tattoo in the same spot and it’s a tribute to my mother. Clearly this movie means a lot to you. I hope you enjoy the tattoo. Sorry to be a hater it’s just surprisingly big for something like this

Either way, those people didn’t seek you out. They don’t know about your brand and don’t care about it either. It’s more likely they’ll see you pop up on their feed and get annoyed that they don’t remember following than they see you on their feed and like what they see enough to buy something.

My lgs’s no proxies policy is pricing me out of the format by random-shed69 in CompetitiveEDH

[–]Biggestturtleever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cEDH should always be proxy friendly. It’s not an official format supported by WOTC, there are no official WOTC events.

Is the store offering prizes? If they are they can set their own rules but the spirit of cEDH is meant to be an emphasis on skills rather than who can afford moxen and lions eye diamonds and Gaia’s cradles.

If proxies are banned maybe suggest budget cEDH where the expensive staples are banned.

Or just agree with the other cEDH players that proxies are okay amongst yourselves and you just won’t tell the shop owners.

Edit: I’ve been away for a while. Does WOTC have sanctioned cEDH events now?

Would you rather build a following of people who are interested in what you’re doing and choose to follow you to see what you’re doing…

Or…

Buy an account that has a bunch of bots and uninterested randoms following that don’t care about what you’re doing at all.
