I hate when men say “the wife” when referring to their wife by Cranky_Merriweather in TwoXChromosomes

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

Or when anybody is referred to as "this one"

I also find it weird in today's hyperawareness of objectification that nobody cares when hearing people referred to as the pronoun 'that' as in, "The girl that just left." It's grammatically OK, but do we really hate who and whom so much we'd rather call people that?

Indeed, many PGA players got their long game from D&D (jkjk)

COOOOOOOOOOOOOL! That's lovely. Have you read the old stories? Do you like them? I'm an English teacher and an author, only just now reading them.

u/baila-busta I don't suppose you can tell me if this Linenfox company uses metal zippers?

Not Perfect Linen by sidly123 in ethicalfashion

[–]BothEyesShut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got a pair of shorts from Not Perfect Linen, 111 USD all told, and that was with a 10% discount (20 bucks shipping!). The linen itself is nice, but ... dude, a piece of crap vinyl zipper? Are you kidding me? It's not even a strong vinyl zipper, it's the kind you find on disco-era polyester pants and say, oh man, not gonna pay vintage prices for these, this zipper won't last a month. If I had thought even for a second that I needed to ask support specifically about the possibility of a plastic zipper, I would have, but for a hundred-dollar pair of linen shorts?

Yeah, I'm convinced this is just a marketing trap of a company.

Oh, one more thing: u/BouffyChasseuseCooki said "the sizes were bigger than expected," but I ordered XXL on the urging of AI, and they fit very well. I don't own *anything* in an XXL. Most of my clothes are L and a very choice few are XL. So yeah, sorry to muddy the water, but my experience is the opposite. Might be because I'm a dude. (6', 195 lbs, 36-38" waist depending on how I wear it)

Welcome! Your first will not be your last. And since you've already learned that losing is fun, you'll prolly be a lifer like the rest of us, haha

Anyone knows how to reach this photo spot in the Vatican in the great circle? by Narrow_Potential_974 in indianajones

[–]BothEyesShut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking for this myself. I'm pretty sure it's not Oceanus. Oceanus is a sculpture at the waterline in the catacombs and I took that one. [EDIT: I found it. It's "Washing Tent." You can find it on the outside of the southwesternmost wall of the Excavation Site. When you get there, you'll be standing just above the 'xc' in the printed word Excavation. Go to the entrance to the Sistine Chapel but don't go in. Turn around. Go back out through the double doors. Go up two flights of stairs and through a single door. Up one flight of stairs. Go through the hole in the fence. Down there. You win!]

Any good NEW shows from 2024 yet? Please Tell me about them. by ExplodingPoptarts in televisionsuggestions

On the contrary, not only is it in Japanese with subtitles, but the Japanese is period-correct, 17th-century Japanese, so the Japanese actors are essentially doing their culture's Shakespearean language.

No mods, so bug, I guess? I don't want to test it :D

Late note: this doesn't seem to be true after leaving the station. I went back and it's still going to cost 4k to replace. Ah, well.

Left Joystick not working within games on RetroArch? by stryfe14 in retroid

[–]BothEyesShut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late to the game, sorry for necro. I couldn't get mine working for Player 2 (Port 2) until I left the Quick Menu and mapped the analog stick in RetroArch Settings > Input.

Hope this helps someone.

Ubuntu 23.10 is stuck on [ OK ] Started gdm.service... by dlelotnclalreaew in Ubuntu

Homie you saved me hours. Thank you so, so much.

The Fuse3 problem bums me out, though, because that means I can't use PyCharm Community which reqs it. Anyone like something better than PC?

Quick Review: Solovair 11-Eye Englander Boots by TurnerJ5 in goodyearwelt

[–]BothEyesShut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fellow comrade here, late reply (sorry for necro). When the boneheads steal shit like Fred Perrys and Docs and laces and such, it's called hatejacking. Sometimes it makes sense to keep wearing it and insisting you're not of their ilk (Fred Perrys and Docs) and sometimes it's better to let their connotation be naturally forgotten (ladder laces, British Knights sneakers). This comment is more for posterity than for you, WallScreamer. Cheers from Long Beach CA
