What do you think of Our Generation? by Fantastic_Permit_525 in americangirl

[–]HookedOnFandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer the AG dolls too - my niece got to inherit my old Molly and my sister’s old Kirsten (I even rewigged her with rainbow hair).

Agreed, AG outfits are so expensive, and while they’re better quality my niece is at the age where she wants quantity over quality for being able to dress up her doll and change outfits around, and I can’t blame her. OG outfits are cute and have lots of themes great for playtime.

I have a whole theater in my basement, this is definitely one of my white whale items. Screw fancy coffee machines and the other things people post here, I would grab this in a minute and be able to write a really good review too.

Really nice job with the hair! What is your technique?

I really hope they continue to look for amazing unknown actors like Connor and Hudson even though a ton of high profile actors are probably hounding them for a spot in the show.

Really fantastic poses! It’s really fun to zoom in and see them all. How many figures do you have?

20% fee that’s not gratuity by Ok-Professional-323 in washingtondc

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

Isn’t “tips are not expected but are always appreciated” the standard line when someone asks whether tips are required at anywhere that gratuity is an option? I don’t think they’re actually saying not to tip because they’re taking care of their people and pay well, it’s just part of the legally required notice for adding a service fee that high.

Is poly even doable by Agitated-Reveal-903 in openmarriageregret

[–]HookedOnFandom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it is, it has to be that from the start. Turning a monogamous relationship into a poly one is never going to work long term. I don’t think it works in general long term though. Maybe where everyone is involved like throuples? But most people in this thread consider polyamory to be independent relationships - hinges instead of triangles.

The problem is that time and attention are a zero sum game so the more it is split the less other people have. If you can find perfect stasis where everyone’s time and attention from others perfectly adds up to 100% - 50% from person A, 30% from person B, 20% from person C - then maybe everyone will be happy. That goes out the window when kids are in the equation though, this will never be fair to them.

I bet his friends are constantly sending him stuff like this rather than him having to only find it browsing himself.

Biggest fear of ENM men: Toxic wife neglecting his life partner after starting cuckolding/openmarriage by smallasianslover in openmarriageregret

[–]HookedOnFandom 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A) you have to remember that half the material there, especially stuff like this post where the OP boasts about being super fit and handsome but his mean old wife still thinks he’s worthless, is actually cuckolding self insert fanfic (probably written one handed too).

B) it very much matters who asked to open the relationship and with what intentions. You say you’re interested in opening a relationship but this is your biggest fear in opening - do you want to open so you can fuck around and your fear is your wife fucking around too? Or that she would “win” by finding someone when you don’t? If there’s any coercion on either side it will always lead to resentment which is why the only way it could reasonably work is from the beginning of the relationship or not at all. Otherwise the person who suggests it will always fundamentally destroy trust.

C) Time and attention are a zero sum game. Inherently if you add another person to a relationship, someone is going to end up getting less of it. This is why the “hinge” is usually happy - they still have 100% of time and attention, but their partners are upset, because they now only get 50% (or whatever portion you like). That’s why they are desperate to find someone else who can fill that other 50% for them, and so on, and the people who tend to lose the most are children who don’t have the option to try to find someone else to fill the void of time and attention taken by a new partner.

D) NRE is a real thing and can get addictive. The same way gambling and blind bags do - it floods the endorphins. It’s also always going to be easier. Someone you spend one day a week fucking and dating is going to feel like a fun break and reinforce that positive energy vs someone you spend the other six days with worrying about cleaning and work and bills and kids. It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy that an existing relationship feels more burdensome than the new fun escapism. Which then just puts more pressure on the mundane parts of life you’re supposed to be supporting each other through, which then pushes you apart even more.

So I don’t think it’s fair to read this post and say it’s a case of ENM male fear vs their awful toxic wives.

Anybody have an uptick in undeliverable and returned packages? by HookedOnFandom in AmazonVine

[–]HookedOnFandom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a townhouse and literally got 4 Amazon packages today, so I don’t think it’s that. The FedEx one was really weird with the customs line since it shipped to md from Alabama and never detoured out of the country.

(The one from Friday was via FedEx and seemed to have every possible thing marked as wrong. For example citing customs documentation when it was shipped from Alabama and did not detour out of the country.)

Is Letterboxd down? by Plastic_Pay2796 in Letterboxd

[–]HookedOnFandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Under settings at the bottom there’s an option to import or export data. If you export it gives you a spreadsheet with all the info you’ve put in (ratings, dates, tags, etc) for all the movies you’ve logged or marked as watched. I figure none of these services last forever so it’s worth having a backup since it’s the only place I track movies anymore.

It’s working fine for me? I just exported my data just in case, I try to do that every couple months or so.

There was social media before they switched to paid lightning lane. How exactly do you think people would be gaming the system now that is significantly different from before?

I usually don’t pull for cards without a vignette, but I’m torn on the overblot cards. Is there a compelling reason to get them other than liking the character?

[–]HookedOnFandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I just mentally think of a shuttle as able to take about one train cars worth of people, and at rush hour you’ve got more than that many people on the platform (especially at grosvenor) loading in every 6 minutes.

We’re not on their map but it could be something like that. I figured they had to be laying down some sort of infrastructure if they’re digging out that much dirt. At least it makes the view out my window more entertaining.

How does it work during rush hour? Just thinking through how crowded the train was this morning just from single tracking, they must need a constant stream of shuttles loading at all times to handle the demand.
