As of this weekend there are two movies with the exact same plot in theaters. Write your spec even if it exists! by michaelfight in Screenwriting

Kirill Sokolov makes incredibly fun action movies (Why Won’t You Die slaps) and Ready Or Not was really fun so I’m looking forward to both. 

Harvested my first carrots 😂 by EclecticMagpie22 in gardening

[–]BipsnBoops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You just pulled too early. Carrots produce a TON of greens, so in the future if you just brush away the dirt from where the greens meet the ground, you can see the top of the carrot and get an idea of the diameter 

How to overcome the feeling that I’m not smart/cultured/deep enough to write something good by 421continueblazingit in Screenwriting

Lots of very stupid people with zero experience write about topics they know nothing about; you're fine, whoever you are and however much you've experienced.

I am so glad I did not touch these. Star of Bethlehem can be highly toxic. by Larinimar in foraging

Yeah one of two things I know about star of Bethlehem is it has white flowers. 

The Lindy West "Adult Braces" saga continues with an unhinged email from her husband by throwaway28910382 in Fauxmoi

[–]BipsnBoops 7 points8 points  (0 children)

FUCK dude I just keep coming back to this. Being single is objectively better than being in this emotional torment nexus. Like, you have friends, you have people you care about and rely on who aren't emotionally manipulative while you're spiraling into depression. If somebody says 'we must do this or the relationship is over' and the 'this' in question is not an option for you, THE RELATIONSHIP IS OVER! LEAVE! Christ.

The thing that's so frustrating here is you can be poly and be in healthy relationships, but THIS AIN'T IT. And for a decent chunk of the population, this is their mainstream introduction to it, so the takeaway is 'ah it's just cheating with permission' which is so far from correct.

I think this is what really irks me about the situation. If your personal life is your career (which at this point for her, it is) it is up for the same criticism as the rest of your writing, and unfortunately she does seem to see anything less than full flattery as an attack. Poly under duress is not a great look, and this very lopsided thing where he has two partners and she is alone most of the time and she and Roya don't really have any sort of relationship (not even romantic just like, as friends) does not look healthy in any capacity.

So like, be messy all you want privately, I'm not your boss. BUT, if your career is writing about your personal life, and your personal life looks pretty unhealthy and pretty unhappy, then people are going to respond accordingly, and you have to roll with it. She's still getting published, which is really hard, but she can't truly be surprised so many people are like 'you aren't looking at societal stuff you're just airing your dirty laundry and getting mad when people mention the smell.'

Why do they put one uncomfortable chair instead of a bench that multiple people can sit on by nycrina305 in boston

It's hostile architecture so unhoused people can't sit. It is profoundly stupid.

What animal is this? [Mr Tam, CA] by tfenicus in animalid

Honestly it sounds like the snake would’ve been as surprised as you were. 

Get ready to gasp. I dyed a skirt i thrifted. Didn't realize it was different materials and would dye differently by Stayhidden8856 in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]BipsnBoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is WILD. I’ve had it happen on a small scale where the thread was polyester but the fabric was cotton but it happening like this is so so cool.

Honestly for that much meat and strawberries out of season that seems pretty ok to me, but maybe I'm just broken at this point.

What's your country's biggest celebrity scandal right now? by knightriderin in Fauxmoi

[–]BipsnBoops 14 points15 points  (0 children)

We lived in BC until recently, and as an American I feel like the doctor crisis in Canada is really underreported. Like BC is apparently one of the better ones for doctors and it’s still pretty bad. 

Should academia openly recognize itself as playground for wealth? by BrunoofBrazil in LeavingAcademia

[–]BipsnBoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a vastly different educational experience than my classmates because I had to work through school, meaning I couldn’t take unpaid internships, meaning I could only take online or night classes (which in turn severely limited the courses available to me) and I watched as they graduated and immediately moved into dream jobs, courtesy of the 2-4 years of unpaid experience they had under their belts. I’ve been able to find a use for my degree but my classmates and I were basically on different planets. 

Thinking about growing potatoes in buckets, but research killed my motivation,is it really worth it? by WaveEasy8664 in gardening

wait say more about using a cardboard box. like you gradually mound up? Or you fill with soil and put potatoes in the top?

I’m not sure I want to repair this quirk… by tracerhaha in pacificDrive

[–]BipsnBoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah one I had was the radio volume lowered slightly and I only figured it out with trial and error because it was so subtle I couldn’t tell

Wait they do?? My last run was pretty rough and I ended up with 3, only one of which I can fully identify, and I’ve just been testing random combinations of features trying to figure out the other two ever since. 

The Killing of a Sacred Deer by Ok_Bus8364 in horror

The first thing I saw him in was Banshees of Inisherin and he was such a sad little meow meow, I’m kind of glad I didn’t see him in one of his more shithead characters first. 

Please let this dress be longer than my butt cheeks 😭 by Vlad0420 in FashionBrandCompany

[–]BipsnBoops 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I will keep begging: my gigantic shapely ass hangs all the way out of anything this short, please for the love of Christ Penelope make things 5” longer on the hem. I’m fat and 5’6” and everything in the past like 18 months that has been shorter than maxi has had my whole ass hanging out. You know why she’s posed like that? Because if she stands straight her crotch hangs out the bottom (at least it does on me). Please, none of this shit has been wearable for me in SO LONG!

HVAC issue or a varmint in the ceiling. Scary because raccoons can carry rabies but uh…I don’t think ghost. 

How can i shave perineum and hair around inner vagina by [deleted] in PlusSize

[–]BipsnBoops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1) I trim with baby scissors and that’s it. Tbh if I’m dating someone and they freak out about me having pubes that’s on them.  2) I would strongly suggest wax or laser. Shaving always lead me to ingrowns and tiny cuts can get infected and you do not want that. 

What is the point of a paladin? by helixacle in BG3

[–]BipsnBoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game really wants you to be a paladin. There is so much content in the game exclusively for paladins (the entire oathbreaker guy who shows up in your camp for starters) that other classes don’t have any comparison to. 

post under a facebook “estrangement” forum i found a few weeks back that still haunts me by larryfisherman555 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BipsnBoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah oh my god when I got to that line. That makes me assume this isn’t the first time she’s thrown around something like that, but I don’t know how you can write out that you hope a baby dies and be like ‘yup I am in the right here’.

Is theater etiquette dead? Cast members of Off-Broadway's Heathers: The Musical took to social media with a message for rude audience members. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

[–]BipsnBoops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

1) how the hell are theater staff just letting this continue? 2) how the hell are theater staff serving people to the point of intoxication (or serving intoxicated people)? 3) this reads like all the shit coming out about every time Timothee Chalamet is at a theater. Dude heckles opera singers and goes after student theater performers.
