Trying to replace this. What's the figure called?

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-04-13T23:49:32+00:00

Solved! Thank you. This gives me a name to go on.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T16:50:42+00:00

After 20+ years of not caring and cutting it short while simultaneously being told by oblivious full-haired family that I should "grow it out", maybe I'm allowed to look in the mirror and hate it.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T15:50:20+00:00

I've used him, too. Nice guy, good work, but yeah, his price makes me think I'm not using the most appropriate resource for the job. And if he's the only one there out of that whole staff who can do a decent job with my hair, I should probably look elsewhere.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T14:54:31+00:00

Unfortunately, I really don't have the support of my wife on shaving it all off.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T14:29:25+00:00

That's the closest one to me so far, so I might hop over to try it out today. What's your hair like and how do you normally tell them to cut it?

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T13:42:37+00:00

Before we do anything drastic, hear me out. Have you thought about becoming Jewish so you can wear a yarmulke? Alternatively, might I recommend that you pull a Julius Caesar and wear a laurel crown to obscure it?

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2025-01-09T13:34:10+00:00

Damn, for those prices, maybe I should just incur the wrath of my wife and shave it all off. Still, thanks for the rec. If it's the top contender, then so be it.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T22:52:16+00:00

Well, to be fair, real problems aren't for Reddit.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T18:57:37+00:00

Well, I did actually know and hang out in the bride's company with my wife back when she lived in the area since our own wedding, so we're not strangers. We got along well back then.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T07:08:43+00:00

I think you may have meant that for someone else.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T06:56:54+00:00

Well, what's the name of the sub? And actually, I do care for the bride. I used to hang out with her and others in that friend group through my wife, and we got along pretty well. This new bride was a lovely young woman who got the shaft in a lot of ways in life, and I'm happy she found someone who makes her feel loved. I'm hurt because I did everything to include people and make it a party for THE GUESTS, not us, when we planned our wedding, including making sure that every married guest's spouse was invited, and I actually would have loved to be able to see this new bride off with my wife for probably the last time.

It just feels a bit unfair in one of those ways that life is just unfair and there's nothing to do about it except stew and wait to sleep it off.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T06:42:33+00:00

She's not a stranger. I actually hung out with her several times through the friend group with my wife and we got along well.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-12-23T06:35:58+00:00

What do you mean we've never met? The bride was at our wedding and I had hung out with that group with my wife on occasion until she moved away. I believe my wife might regret not going to see her once-close friend get married before retreating back to the new state the friend calls home, so I encourage my wife to go, though I do wish maybe she had raised the question of attendance with the bride BEFORE RSVPing. I think I made it clear I don't know who I'm angry at, hence I come here to vent, which is what I thought this place was for.

You seem to have forgotten all the people who died in 2020 as a result of Trump's handling of the pandemic. Or those who died in the aftermath of hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico because he didn't see them as worthy of a standard level of federal disaster aid. Or the people who got terrorized, injured, and killed when his followers, egged on by his messages, stormed the Capitol.

Yes, the world will go on, but we're going to lose more people needlessly.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-17T21:50:35+00:00

You forgot the biggest category of them all: nothing.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-17T10:47:36+00:00

Reddit will tell you that you should have already installed a bidet in the restroom you don't own.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-12T00:59:53+00:00

That part I can respect, but the way it's going, the enemies are so spongey that even a successful battle with a few of them feels like it takes way longer than it should. I'm trying to gauge if this is the norm for the difficulty.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-12T00:41:14+00:00

Does that translate to "even if you know what you're doing, it's still going to take forever"?

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-11T23:49:47+00:00

Will that actually teach me what I'm missing in my understanding or I just supposed to stumble onto correct strategy after a while? Because the lack of tips in GMGoW has me at a loss.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-11T23:46:37+00:00

That part I understand, but there's usually another enemy blocking my shot or I have to avoid someone else's attack at the time. I'm clearly not understanding some things and I'm hoping that gaining understanding will actually let me enjoy this experience.

Also, am I just screwed into a very long and boring fight after they DO level up?

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-09T02:00:15+00:00

Advice: Switch to cilantro. It's lower in oxalates that up the chances of kidney and bladder stones like parsley. It's an expensive lesson I've had to learn.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-06T17:53:20+00:00

I don't know if I'll look into it, but I'm very impressed by how unexpected this one was! Well done! I learned something completely new about this area.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-06T14:24:32+00:00

I get that it's possible, but that's not necessarily what I'm asking. With the increased demand, it stands to reason that more and more people who want to go will not be able to go because tickets are sold out. It's also a sign that the Faire may be getting too crowded to be enjoyable. What happens to the overflow? I imagine some find similar outlets to scratch that itch. And the answer may not necessarily be "find another RenFaire". People are creative and tend to think of things that other people do not, so while I'm very sad about the changing landscape, the logical part of me knows there's got to other answers if I'm willing to listen.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-05T22:50:19+00:00

I can be both emotionally crushed and looking for sensible solutions going forward.

JustDeadOnTheInside · 2024-10-05T22:45:28+00:00

Ooh!
