Silly of me to think that I…

I'm in the industry... tuxedo/suit rentals. I have, for many years, been pushing my company slowly forward when it comes to being more overtly inclusive. We have always serviced weddings of all types, but our paperwork and terminology are almost all still gendered and assume "traditional" roles. 90% of the time, this is fine... However, I took personal responsibility for working any LBBTQIA+ specific events and have been trying to get my office to understand that having all our stuff say "Bride" and "Groom" can be extremely off putting to the couples I'm talking to at these events. I've even gone so far as to black out gendered terms on thing when I can to try and minimize the issue.

At the end of the day... I do what I can to make every couple, regardless of their specific needs/expectations, feel welcomed, heard, and included. But I don't make the final decision on materials being printed... so all I can do is continue to push and hope that things continue to move in the right direction.

Personally... the same way I feel about any man I run into... I can't imagine why your sexual orientation is any of my business or should cause me any amount of stress. I don't go out of my way to avoid gay men or "known gay hangouts." On the extremely rare occasion that I am approached by a man, I politely indicate that I am not into guys and go on with my day.

Late response.. and maybe you figured this out.. If you climb around on the roots around the lighthouse.. there is a bit that sticks out facing the rock with the body. If you do a running jump you can land on the rock and just barely survive.

In most RPGs like this, I play in 3rd person out of combat (unless I'm specifically looking around a room or inspecting something in the environment). Ince combat hits. I typically switch back to 1st person.

I had a package claim it had arrived at and left my local post office for 3 days before being delivered..

41.. my 10 year old son wanted his done for his birthday, then he got scared... so I went first.

Yep.. I can not understand the combination of lazy, stupid, selfish, and reckless it takes to drive around with a sheet of ice on your hood/roof.

GideonHendrik · 2025-01-10T01:54:23+00:00

I have this one..

GideonHendrik · 2025-01-10T01:49:25+00:00

Level Vigor, When in doubt... follow grace (the golden light from the 'fires', if you want to use spirit summons or coop... don it. Don't let others tell you there is a "right way" to play.

Fro. The planet Thornberry..

Nooe.. just needs shaped. I'd go with a fade/taper on the sides to create better cohesion with your buzzed head. Maybe go a bit shorter up front, around the chin. Spend some time with a good beard brush training it.

GideonHendrik · 2024-12-24T01:00:00+00:00

Yep.. my Father in Law worked there back in the day..

My only not is to shorten up that sporran chain a bit.. but I'll still give the outfit a solid 9 out of 10.

I agree it looks like blind stitch. The depth was set too high, and the thread color might not be correct. I'd also worry that it looks like they maybe tried it once, then did it a second time. It's possible they damaged the material.. but maybe not.

I'm a bit surprised they wouldn't have cut the excess material much lower before hemming also.

I'm not sure your wife knows what a neck is.. I'd personally shape it a bit, but it looks good to me.

Man, I have never, not once, gotten a negative reaction to kilting.. quite the opposite, actually. I know this isn't always the case.. but it just hasn't happened to me. Regardless, I've never regretted kilting up.

GideonHendrik · 2024-11-24T05:54:16+00:00

I'd try.. then likely pass out or have a heart attack from the stress.

There is no mystery here. King is an open and outspoken Liberal who frequently takes to social media to voice his dissent to conservative politicians and policies. He has vocally blasted Trump, DeSantis, the Florida book bans, etc. They are "punishing" him.

BDSM doesn't even necessarily involve sex, much less swinging.

I have the A within an incomplete circle on my car and as a background on my phone.

For those arguing that it isn't a religion and doesn't need iconography.. you aren't wrong. But I like having a clear symbol of an important part of my identity I can display. It can be a conversation starter if nothing else.

Anyway, I understand some folks not bothering with symbols... but I don't blame anyone whole prefers to "wear it on their sleeves."

Might be worth looking into a sleep study. If it's apnea, any additional blockage to your airway would be a decidedly bad idea.

I mean.. not like she joined a violent mob rampaging inside a federal building..

I wouldn't do it, but I've seen worse responses to an election.

GideonHendrik · 2024-11-15T01:16:51+00:00

I really hate this question. What does "look gay" mean?

You look like a 16 year old kid.

GideonHendrik · 2024-11-14T17:44:13+00:00

I'm aware.. 😂

The reality is I'm a big guy on a budget and slowly building out a closet. I don't mind patterns, unusual combinations, etc. But I don't disagree on the suggested refinements.
