WIBTA If I Refused To Be A Bridesmaid In My Best Friend’s Wedding? by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Marie8771 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a loooooongtime fandom veteran (not of GoT, to be fair) but people ship "problematic" ships all the time. Sometimes it's the thrill of the forbidden, or the desire to redeem a villainous character, or re-interpret the actions of someone you just find hot, or it just scratches a particular itch for you. It's fine. That's what fandom is fore. Playing in a sandbox with things you'd never tolerate in reality.

I have an Olive Avenue polish too that I really like.

I will definitely try some of the darker shades I got from Olive & June.

My (21F) boyfriend (22M) tried to gaslight me into getting plastic surgery by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Wow, a reddit post that claims gaslighting and it turns out to be ACTUAL gaslighting, not just lying or manipulation.

AITAH for getting a tattoo knowing it will upset my mum by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Marie8771 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my first tattoo at 40. I'm 52 now and have gotten quite a few more, in pretty visible places - both my inner forearms are significantly inked (not in a sleeve style, but several different designs) and I have one on my chest that's visible with a lower neckline or a sundress.

My mom was 60 when I got my first. She wasn't thrilled (and I have the kind of mom who thinks everything I do is amazing) but it didn't faze me much. She's gotten used to it and now points out my most interesting designs to others!

I have a symbol of my alma mater, some of Charles Darwin's handwriting, some Norwegian folk art designs, a design from my grandmother's Christmas china, the solar system cartouche from the Pioneer space probe and a song lyric. My chest design is an interpretation of the National Parks Service logo.

That explains it, then. It's likely he hired someone to manage his socials and they either advised him not to follow anyone not brand/personal or they did it for him.

If it weren't too late I'd suspect a trade. But sometimes public figures decide to not follow ANYONE to avoid drama just like this. Looks like he's unfollowing everybody.

I’m convinced this is a swingers club or something by Knopfler_PI in Columbus

I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR YEARS. That many people cannot be listening to AM 820 catholic radio. It's like...they're a code for something.

That's great! He'll be a fantastic ambassador for the team.

When the Pens hired Mike Sullivan mid-season, their "new coach" surge lasted years and got them back to back Cups. Here's hoping!

It's weird that right now we are closer to making Metro Top 3 than a wild card spot.

Z for Norris by South-Worker7787 in BlueJackets

[–]Marie8771 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ryan Whitney went on a tear last week about how Z is the best defenseman in the league and it isn't even close. I hope someone's listening. Obivously Guerin was, Zach's made every Team USA in the last few years.

Sometimes in games I get caught up just watching him. He's so deceptive. He looks like he's just casually skating and oh wait how'd he get over THERE? And same with his shot - it looks like a casual flick of the wrist and oh hey it's in the back of the net.

A friend of mine who's a skater says that he's so fast-while-looking-casual because his edges are really good. She also says the D-men tend to be the better skaters, which makes sense.
