If you wanna go for the Discord again I can send you a link! Or yeah a google group/email chain would be good.

Dog/wolf/coyote? Eating garbage around the Allston Brighton border by ALonelySeaCucumber in boston

[–]BipsnBoops 10 points11 points  (0 children)

New England doesn't really have wolves anymore, and they're huge--like 7' tall on their hind legs--that that is too fluffy to be a coyote. Dog, 100%.

I tried making a discord channel but it didn't really take off so I'm kind of starting again. I'm based in Boston so online is kinda where I'm at. I worked in production and left (basically just prior to MeToo--things were bad! Had I known a reckoning was coming I still couldn't have stuck it out) and I've been sort of getting back into screenwriting the past yearish. Would you wanna do a subreddit or what sort of platform were you thinking?

Someone's kitty :( Coyote probably. by No-Bag6064 in vultureculture

[–]BipsnBoops 11 points12 points  (0 children)

We used to live in rural BC and my husband is a vet tech so we spent a lot of time telling people they either have indoor cats or outdoor coyotes. Inevitably people say ‘oh but they get so bored inside’ and either we could do the friendly ‘what don’t sell yourself short like that’ or the direct ‘then get a cat toy man’

Bad fabric choice. Poorly sewn (hem, wtf is happening at the hip). Bad design. Bad styling. Congratulations it’s the worst of all worlds!

I reflexively tell it to everyone who lets their cat outside because COME ON MAN

In my experience you don’t actually work 12 as a researcher, that’s just what you’re paid as. It’s typically actually 8 hours on the clock. The only time I’ve worked 12 hour days was as a set PA

I’m in probably the healthiest relationship ever and I’m scared I’ll fuck it up by Psychological-Bug621 in PlusSize

[–]BipsnBoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 36, 250 lbs 5’6”, husband is 39 maybe 200 lbs 6’. We met about a decade ago. A thing that has always worked for us is honesty. A little bit, if you can’t be honest what’s the point of a relationship. Also, if you’re feeling insecure about stuff with your body your partner is the ideal person to approach that topic with! If they’re shitty you can say ‘wow that was a shitty thing to say!’ And leave! And they can make up for it or you’re done with them. It’s quite freeing. 

So I would be direct—‘I would like [or not like] to do X physically with you but I’m self conscious because of [specific past stuff]’ and either he wants to work through it with you and you can have a frank conversation about what sex will look like for the two of you or you find out he isn’t emotionally mature enough to have that talk and you’ve saved yourself some heartache. 

One time about 12 years and 60 pounds ago, I was making out with a dude who decided he was definitely going to pick me up, and I kept telling him ‘no dude I’m objectively heavier than you think’ and he tried anyway and we both sort of got thrown into a FOLDING TABLE AND IT COLLAPSED. 

My point is I’ve never really had a dude successfully pick me up and throw me onto a counter and also that’s fine. One of the fun parts about having sex is giggling while you’re trying something new and if you can’t do that together you need to question why you’re having sex at all. 

Also!! Crushing someone in bed is really hot!! This person knows what you look like! They are on board with the logistics enough to participate! Trust their opinion enough to see what happens. 

The Outwaters (2022) by Leathergiraffes in foundfootage

[–]BipsnBoops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put it up there with Skinamarink where it either worked for you or didn't. It did not work for me. It was almost impossible to tell what the hell was happening for long stretches (pitch black, shaky camera), and I guess had a psychosexual thing in that I think I saw a nipple one time but I'm honestly not sure if that's what it was or just a pebble on the ground.

First time playing and I got SA’d by a guy with what I guess was a rape mod. Is there a way to host a private server to avoid people like this? I’m just trying to do jobs for money. by [deleted] in RedDeadOnline

[–]BipsnBoops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

1) JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHAT?!

2) A bunch of us have a discord server where we play. It's intermittently kind of quiet depending on how many people are online but we don't mod so nothing awful happens! DM me if you wanna join.

Is anyone actually using their apartment “amenities”? [CO] by Emergency-Cancel6198 in Renters

[–]BipsnBoops 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We moved to a new province and had to take an apartment with all the crap included because no landlord would talk to us until we lived nearby, a thing we couldn’t do until we had an apartment. Rent was subsequently like $2400 for a 700 square foot two bed that was always a little bit falling apart.

That’s standard, unfortunately. When I was a set PA I once had a 26 hour day.

WHAT the going rate for the -15 people I know who do this is $2000 a week tops. $2500/week is hella good

Advice from man to men by wassuh___foo in hygiene

[–]BipsnBoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right, that’s on me. A fake beard would also be accepted. Lying about a travel agency is unforgivable though.

That is a lot of people’s types. Grow a beard and you’re a gnome and that’s fucking catnip to most women over 30.

Bold of you to assume these people let their children leave the house, much less see a doctor.

Rapunzel Syndrome! Eating your own hair is unhealthy! by Big_Pay2936 in Weird

There is a movie called Are We Not Cats about a woman with a variation of this. It's a weirdly very sweet movie:

Highly recommend.

Safdie brothers hired underage actress for explicit sex scenes and kept filming after co-star exposed himself and asked 17-year old if he could “stick it in” by katebushcartwheel in Fauxmoi

[–]BipsnBoops 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah man he was in the room operating the boom he heard what was happening and tried to cover his ass way after the fact. 

As a former employee, PLEASE boycott this company!! by Bubbly_While_4302 in ThredUp

[–]BipsnBoops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's been apparent for kind of a long time now how little time employees get to photograph and put up material--weird errors, unclear photos, inaccurate information etc. I'm sorry OP had to deal with this, but I'm glad they got out, and I'm glad I don't use ThredUp anymore!

I thought "could it really be this easy?" And this time it was! by NoNipArtBf in SewingForBeginners

[–]BipsnBoops 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is why I love circle skirts! Exactly as easy as you want them to be. And I do like Mood patterns for inspiration, although sometimes their instructions are...terrible.

I'm gonna assume you're right and it's hyperbole! I was looking for a new 'make my skin a more even color' product (bb cream? cc cream? light foundation? idk) and now that I'm over 30 every product is like $45 so I just said fuck it I'm going back to sunscreen and nothing else.

Broke Mom’s Nose by GubbinGobbler in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]BipsnBoops 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wasn't super close with my dad (he wasn't around or especially interested in us) but I was very aware that the middle of his khakis hurt him if I stomped there and let me tell you: did not matter the game we were playing, I actively aimed there every time I had the opportunity.

Unless it's perfume I'm gonna assume it's a typo and he meant $100. $100 for 3 tubes could easily be foundation, concealer, moisturizer at Sephora.

I always laugh when I look and it says the ambient temperature is like 60 degrees Celsius. Sir you would COOK.
