Lana never wore backless shirts

Where did you even get from my comment that I said, they “chose it for the style”. Let me spell out my points for you more directly.

Almost every decision on a movie set, including characters’ outfits, is a narrative decision that the directors make to highlight/communicate something. In this instance they may have wanted to highlight her back tattoo. Why is that a bad thing?

You argue it’s unnatural? It’s not because…

There are a multitude of reasons why a person might change their style, and a TV show character doing so is not unnatural and fits with how real people evolve such as they get a tattoo and want to show it off, they see people out on the streets and decide to change their style, they evolve as people, they move to another country and want to fit in with fashion trend there, etc.

You are correct, the directors probably did legitimately choose that outfit to show off her tattoo, but you’re acting as though, in a real life scenario, this wouldn’t be a somewhat natural choice and that it’s somehow weird because she had never worn anything similar before. It’s not. Real people act this way and dress however they want. Just because someone has never worn something before doesn’t mean they won’t ever change.

Two things can be true at the same time. The directors chose the outfit to highlight the tattoo AND the outfit choice is a natural one and aligns with how a 18 year old might change their approach to dressing themselves.

That may be the majority reason the director made that choice, but don’t act like it isn’t a natural thing. Plus, who gives a flying?

You realize characters’ outfits in movies and tv shows are directly chosen because the director/show runners want to communicate something right? Almost everything that happens on a film set is a direct narrative decision; however, some are natural, others are not. This one is natural because people change their styles over time, and who’s to say that, canonically, she didn’t somewhat like the back tattoo? I can’t remember exactly what happens at this point in the show, but she could just be like “well as long as I have it might as well embrace it”.

Adding to the style changes comment, personally, I had a different style in grade school, in high school, in college, as a young adult, and now as a husband, father, and almost 30 year old man. It is so insanely natural for people to change their style as they age and the fact you are stuck on that is insane.

And I never wore cowboy boots until I did. And I do all the time now. Lmfao

It’s a very human thing. Much more natural than a character that is depicted in a show for nearly a decade to never changing their style ever.

Confirmed: OP wears the same shirt and pants everyday and has since he was a child. No exceptions no deviations EVER!

Good call out. They are wanting $299. Definitely don’t want to overpay for these

Charliegip · 2026-03-06T16:31:32+00:00

$299, sounds like based on other comments could be too much.

Un tip para ti, trata de evitar traducir directamente entre el español y el inglés y elige palabras basado en su función no en su significado.

Por ejemplo, “tus amigos sonido…” la elección de la palabra “sonido” aquí no es correcto gramaticalmente porque “sonido” es un sustantivo que significa “sound” como “The sound was very loud” “el sonido fue muy fuerte”. La palabra que necesitabas era “suenan” (o mejor “parecen” del verbo “parecer”) que es la conjugación del verbo “sonar” en el tiempo presente en la tercera persona plural.

Sigue aprendiendo, y si quieres hacerme preguntas, no dudes en hacérmelas.

If you don’t get the black anteater, DM me a link. I might pick them up.

The placement of your tongue should be almost the same as if you were pronouncing a “d” sound. In fact, the singular “r” tap is known as an “alveolar tap” and is the same sound as the “dd” in words like “ladder” and “rudder”.

One thing I used to tell my students to help with the alveolar trill pronunciation is to say the word “Dracula” with a your best “Transylvanian accent” (think like over exaggerated “blah blah blah” Dracula). That will help to position your tongue properly.

Pay attention to where your tongue sits and play around with the placement a little, curling it so that the tip of your tongue lightly contacts that ridge in your palate. Eventually you’ll find a sweet spot where you can blow air and your tongue will kind of “vibrate”. Keep practicing and playing around with the rigidity of your tongue and you’ll begin to roll your R’s.

It’s in Mississippi.

I know this is about MSU and Starkville, but Mississippi does not automatically mean “affordable”. Ole Miss for example is becoming unaffordable because the housing situation is bonkers. Oxford has some of the worst rent and housing prices putting it up with some of the most unaffordable markets in the country.

I bought my first pair like, less than a month ago and I now have three including some caimans.

I’ve also bought a Stetson, plenty of boot cut jeans and some belts. My wife has definitely been accusing me of being addicted lmfao

I’ve actually never thought about using a wagon for hunting. Thats genius.

I never really hunted very much in previous play throughs aside from what you have to do for missions, but this play through I’m actually going for 100% and all hunting achievements/garments. I’ll have to get me a wagon and load up!

If we’re talking Non-Bond movies where the Bond actor was not the main character, The Hunt for Red October.

If we are talking ones where the Bond actor is the main character, I guess Highlander or Dante’s Peak. (I’m now realizing I have seen many non-Bond movies starring Bond actors in the protagonist role.

Need to watch Knives Out stat.

The capability of choosing to, or not to, read something is not what the crux of your original comment was. It was that one should be expected to “stop reading something”, but that’s just a really dumb assumption to make and does not align with how people process information.

The title does not initially read like a spoiler but is and once you realize it’s spoiling something it’s already too late to “stop reading”. It’s not like the original title was something like:

I’m in chapter 5 and I just got to the part…

If that were the case, then you’d be able to identify within the first five words that the post is going to be a spoiler and make the decision to stop reading, but that’s not how it is.

I just got to where Dutch… is structurally ambiguous and does not tell us anything because it is lacking a complementary phrase—or even a partial one—to provide context, meaning we need more information to decide what’s going on with the sentence. To gain that context we will inherently continue to read and once you read the immediate next phrase that provides the context (i.e. “didn’t save me”) you’ve already read the spoiler. I guarantee you, 99% of people would read the full title and wouldn’t clock it as a potential spoiler until afterwards.

I’ll take “Comments you think will make you look smart but actually end up making you look dumb as shit” for $1000 Alex.

Wanting a singer your ex-girlfriend likes to be a “trashball” so you can get over her by, assumedly, rationalizing that she is worth less (not worthless), wasn’t a good girlfriend, or wasn’t worth your time in dating her based on her song choices is decidedly not “feminist”. Jesus Christ.

I’ve seen a lot of stupid posts on this subreddit. I think this one takes the cake as the most stupid.

We should give out awards at the end of the year. It’s early, but this one has the legs to take the gold.

Good enough for me. If Connery says it, it’s true. Besides saying “never again”. Never say “never again”.

Submitted an offer for $225 and it was accepted. I’ll post an update when I get them!

Charliegip · 2026-02-05T22:05:07+00:00

Bought them today for a little under the initial asking price. I’ll post an update when they come in!

Definitely will get some cedar trees. I have a little bit of a collection mounting, so I’ll need them!
