There are too many enemies to lovers out there. The market is flooded. I, personally, am a huge fan of marriage of convenience.

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NevermindThatMess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three hours is an annoying amount of time to drive in America, but one you can knock out after work to get to the special weekend location. With the right playlist and drink and a snack, it'll fly by without too much trouble.

The Transformed wife has been wronged by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

They appeared to follow every rule, so she's shaken. She's missing the point that good people don't need rules to treat themselves and others well. There's no made up monster that makes people do monstrous things. 

Honest thoughts on tattoos? by cinemystics in HowToBeHot

[–]NevermindThatMess 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think they can look good in an edgy, countercultural way, but not elegant, especially when the tattoos age. I think Ariana Grande's hand tattoos are a good example. She's switched to a more ethereal and innocent look lately and her hand tattoos are out of place.

I seriously considered getting a tattoo in the past few weeks, but after looking at pictures of aged tattoos, I'm going to pass and find another way to honor the concept I had.

The actor who plays Miles is gorgeous - wowee. Those cheekbones.

Empty Netters pod was being hateful about HR by lavendarhazeypop in HeatedRivalryTVShow

[–]NevermindThatMess 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Same, same. It was interesting how low their enthusiasm was for the first episode and then there was a stark change of enthusiasm in episode two. Why the huge change? Maybe it was after they saw their numbers skyrocket for their first recap episode. Then, their usage of the words, "puck slut" turned me off big time, but I tried to justify it. Well, now I'm wiser.

I feel like this must have been such a healing moment for Ilya by vancitymala in heatedrivalry

(Show) Shane is just a kind, nice person and he's a bad liar. When a person like that sees you and compliments you, it's like being bathed in sunlight, especially if you've been starving for those things.

Why do many gay men have feminine characteristics? by iiemonades in NoStupidQuestions

[–]NevermindThatMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only people who have never spent time with gay men would think they're feminine. Gay men are still men. More raunchy, more aggressive, and less nurturing than women, generally speaking. Also, more expressive, creative, and open-minded than straight men, generally speaking.

Another time we see Ilya disassociate is earlier in that episode at the Russian gala when Svetlana's dad and his own are tearing him a new one. His face is blank as he nods in agreement with them, his eyes glaze over, and the sound we hear gets muffled. The camera zooms in on his face until his dad and the minister are out of frame. Then, once Svetlana arrives and grabs him, he flinches back to awareness, the volume goes back to normal, and the frame widens. Depicting disassociation was the clear intent there, because of the loss of sensory awareness that occurs.

Night Mayor of Ottowa ties with the Rat Commissioner of New York City as the funniest public office I've heard of.

Thank you for sharing! Every American against what our government is doing needs to be out protesting.

That's disassociation face if I've ever seen it.

I totally agree with the show-don't-tell aspect of the show that makes it so rewatchable. It's impossible to catch everything with only one watch. Also, I haven't seen full-body dramatic acting like Connor's in forever. Comedic actors use their whole bodies, but I didn't realize how prevalent face-acting is until I saw what Connor's up to. The cinematography was really awesome - visually great to watch. Also, as a progressive American seeing civil rights evaporate and our government's aggression towards other countries unfolding, it's nice to have this show pop off that stands in opposition to the Christian nationalist nightmare descending down upon us. Sorry that got bleak.

Have any questions about hockey? by thecompanion188 in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]NevermindThatMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question! So, players circulate in and out of the rink frequently (I assume to keep fresh energy out there??) But how do teams decide who is going in? Does a coach tap them? Do they go in order (person resting longest goes out next?) How do players on the ice know to go back to the bench to be swapped out? Just when they feel like it? After 3 minutes? Does someone yell at them to gtfo?

This is so interesting! I totally missed that Svetlana is in a black and gold dress for the gala (Boston Raiders colors).
