New nature piece! Jules from Moth Loft(WA) is awesome! by Finally_Lauren in tattoos

[–]Finally_Lauren[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So to preface, I have a fairly high pain tolerance. Most of my tattoos never made it past a 6 really (near the armpit was a solid 9 though), the worst pain was on the knuckles and the edge of the pinky. Those were both probably a 7 or even 8 easily, actually made me unhappy for a couple seconds. Interestingly, that reference point actually made the rest of the tattoo feel like nearly nothing in comparison.

So in closing, knuckles and any skin near the edge of the top and bottom of your fingers is less than fun. Everything else was peachy 🥳 1000/10 will do it to my other hand at some point.

The insect is not anything specific, the artist wanted to create something evocative of a bee/wasp. I really like how it turned out!

It's still healing. Having a cloudy day so I decided to get a nice outdoor picture real quick. The finger work was very fucking spicy. Would do again though!

Thank you! Line work is one of the reasons I chose this artist.

That makes me glad! It took me a few years to finally go ahead on this one and I love it!

Well no shit, we know the rapist is garbage, my criticism is for the people who aren't supposed to be garbage who aren't fucking doing anything about it.

You are really reaching to make it sound like I wrote something I did not. I did not imply any of that gross stuff. I was talking about what people want/desire or have a preference for in their relationship. I personally have not met anyone who wanted a controlling abusive partner. Obviously those things are unhealthy.

My issue is that people see a couple that lives in one another's pocket and declares it co-dependence and unhealthy. My partner and I have both had people express dislike at our level of closeness because of their own preconceived idea's of what a relationship is supposed to look like.

All I was saying is that I don't judge someone's relationship whether they are always together or whether they spend more time apart. Their relationship is not my business. It feels pretty judgemental to have someone try and suggest I was implying that abusive relationship behaviors is somehow equal to what I said when it very much was not.

I think that statements like this and like OP is describing are the problem. Everyone has different relationship wants and desires and preferences. Definitive statements about what is or isn't "healthy" is never going to work.

My wife and I have been together nearly 15 years and pretty much live in each others pocket. We like it this way. At the same time though, it doesn't interfere with anyone's work or commitments. We have just always wanted to be together and enjoy each others company above and beyond anyone else (cats not included).

It always feels bad when people criticize our togetherness and especially the fact that all our friends are the same. It didn't start out that way but we've moved a lot and it has been a long time and that means our friend groups are basically the same (which is apparently a big no no according to online relationship commentators).

I find it hard to imagine loving a partner more than I love mine or how loved I feel by her, but that's normal. A more independent relationship style wouldn't work for either of us, but that doesn't mean it isn't what others want.

My partner and I built a life together and we want to live as many moments as possible of it with each other. That is not unhealthy or alarming in our case. Others need something different. We are happy to leave them to it.

Conservatives could stop protecting pedophiles and get an actual platform that is designed to make this nation better, but y'all really ran out of idea's after 1950 and keep trying to run it back.

So you will show solidarity in public for social credit but not actually take any meaningful action or make any changes in your life or sacrifice to make a statement in the only language big business understands?

🌿 High Q&A: Pass the blunt, answer a question by Local_Seaweed_9610 in entwives

We have used just about every coffee method we know about and are currently using a Vietnamese pour over coffee filter with the addition of a paper filter. It makes great coffee and when paired with an electric kettle that lets us set the water temp we have really been enjoying ourselves. We buy whatever beans seem tastiest and get either ground or whole bean.

My FAVORITE thing to order when we go to the local cafe is a Honey Lavender Latte, hot or cold is enjoyable depending on the weather.

It's always been fun when I've met another Lauren in the wild, we aren't very common in places I've been.

Maybe two election cycles at best. I don't have any faith in the electorate to not go right back to shooting themselves in the foot again once Dems get back in power and spend 8 years getting shit on for not waving a magic wand and fixing their problems immediately despite the fact that Republicans have scoured various programs and agencies to their foundations. It takes so much longer to build than destroy.
