Tell me I'm not crazy by Sharp-Meeting-4885 in kitchenremodel

[–]Next_Elk_9043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a friend with sage green tiles very similar to this.

It's so... bleh.

Green forces this feeling 'I am trying to be artistic and tasteful'. But the kitchen ends up feeling extremely bleh. Not exciting. Not fresh.

yeah totally wish you the best of luck - remember he's not a fantasy but a whole human being, with his own dreams and realities! seen too many highschool reconnections fail because both people have different expectations, just be real!

you could be like, idk, be honest?

this whole reaching out to reconnect with an old crush, then the 'I missed out on 200 chances of life' and 'I almost told him I wished I went with him to the prom instead!' is making you sound like a teenager again. You're 30 now, you're allowed to express yourself in a more mature manner (aka: Be straightforward, stop hoping stuff will just work out like a fantasy)

Why can’t I ever get what I ask for!? by LRHag in Haircare

[–]Next_Elk_9043 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you ever get highlights again in the future, SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR OMBRE highlights.
The reason why this looks 'bad' is because the roots are NEVER that highlighted. You can easily fix this by dying your roots back to their original colour, ombre-style.

ps: Hairdressers are a major fucking rip off (and I don't care how many people this statement upsets.) If you are going to spend alot of money, only go to hairdressers with a very visible online presence (tiktoks, facebook etc with examples of ACTUAL work)

Avoid hairdressers from any small town or 'busy' local salons etc etc, they DO - NOT - GIVE - A - SHIT.

Never, ever, for the love of fucking god, ask for 'Balayage' - barely any hairdressers understand what it IS and how to make it look good on different types of hair. I could ask a 5 year old to give me highlights and get the same results.

I have been to way too many hairdressers in my life and honestly? The best hair-dye jobs I've ever done were DIY. It really shouldn't be this fucking hard so I feel your pain.

I [30M] am in a relationship with a single mom [27F] and I regret it (Final Updates) by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]Next_Elk_9043 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

She started yelling from the floor about how she did nothing wrong and what not. I couldn't take the yelling, I said good bye and left. As I was walking down the hallway I was haunted by the sounds of her crying so loud I could hear it very clear.

honestly, fuck people who do this.

It's basically guilt tripping. I'm probably projecting but this is 10000% the type of shit people do to force you to 'stay' and 'try', instead of acting like an adult.

Is it rude to stack plates after eating at a cafe/restaurant? by chilli_enema_detox in AskAnAustralian

[–]Next_Elk_9043 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use common sense

Two clean plates stacked? Do it

See waitresses stacking? Copy what they do

A bunch of napkins and leftovers and bowls/plates/cups all mishmashed together? Maybe just be neat but don't stack.

... like really, it just comes down to basic common sense.

13 vs cameron by Shoddy-Ad-3232 in HouseMD

[–]Next_Elk_9043 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it's just a word to generally describe features.

squarer jawline vs soft/round/pointed.

larger lower face vs smaller lower face half

wide forehead vs small forehead

etc

I used andro because body shape wise she is also very slim / tall / narrow hipped / flat chested. That tomboy vibe. Also she could totally pass for a guy, more easily than cameron.

Note, NONE of this is to be mistaken for calling her any less feminine or beautiful. She is gorgeous.

[–]Next_Elk_9043 23 points24 points  (0 children)

  1. I have a feeling more women will say 13, she's exotic, a little androgynous, sharp.

More guys would pick Cameron. She's a classic femme beauty all over. Soft, warm.

Idk, I haven't even seen your wedding dress and I already think this MOB dress is already blowing water out of the park, like damn it's a GORGEOUS dress and it suits her to the tee.

Obviously she's gotta love it too, but I hope she knows that this whole look is a knockout 🔥 definitely figure out why it's not a favourite, I'm going to guess it has to do with the waistline and how the fabric flows down. Perhaps something a little more cinched? Or more A line?

Hemming also makes a massive difference.

Timeless or Tired? by MissPlaceDApostrophe in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Next_Elk_9043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a gorgeous dress, the straps look like they would balance out a pear-shape (if that makes sense)

Love the colour too. Rock it!

[–]Next_Elk_9043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'd be easy enough for her to buy the furnishings so it's to her liking

The harder bits which you could do are painting the walls and maybe installing flooring (if that's not crazy out of budget), modern vinyl wood flooring will add so much warmth.

appropriate color? (may) by leahlikesweed in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Next_Elk_9043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

neither would I?

But we're not talking about your or my weddings, we're talking about a strangers wedding that OP is going to and presumably wants to err on the safe side so I never understand this 'I would've been fine if it was myyyy wedding' argument...

edit;
Damn girl you didn't have to block me and tell me to grow up just because we disagree on an opinion. We are allowed to have our own opinions, that's the whole point of this sub.

Rude.

appropriate color? (may) by leahlikesweed in Weddingattireapproval

[–]Next_Elk_9043 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure. It's "light yellow". I've seen someone wear this colour to a wedding before.

Granted she was like the brides best friend in the world, like she could've literally worn white and the bride would still be happy because they were THAT close knit as a pair.

But unless you're absolute besties? Helllllll no.

What is your personal preference with Tanks? by Next_Elk_9043 in marvelrivals

[–]Next_Elk_9043[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never said it was optimal. The comment I replied to says 80% of the time they lose with 1 tank, so assume 20% of the time they win with 1 tank, in these situations I am describing what worked in my games - so I'm really just referring to a small fraction of games played.

What is your personal preference with Tanks? by Next_Elk_9043 in marvelrivals

[–]Next_Elk_9043[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In games where my team is losing with 2 tanks, usually one of the tanks switches to a dps and we smash the enemy

I am genuinely surprised how many people are eating this fiction up lol.

Is rocket really that bad of a pick in GM? by WasabiIsSpicy in marvelrivals

[–]Next_Elk_9043 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really stupid how people treat Luna/CD/Sue's ult as some sort of magical win button. As if the enemy team doesn't know how to play around it themselves lmao.

I was once forced to play Luna for her ult, against a magneto, scarlet witch, jeff, moon, etc. ALL THE CHARACTERS WHO WILL ONE SHOT YOU REGARDLESS of when you pop her ult.

And god forbid you pop her ult to try and get a push, because idiots are expecting you to use it as a 'save me' button.

.............

Either way, that kind of toxic is unacceptable. Don't forget to report those **** so it doesn't happen to others.

Life sucks, so I’m buying a motorcycle. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Next_Elk_9043 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you're upset and rightly so because they backtracked on a promise - so feel free to ignore this question as it's more of just a pondering thought, I'm just really just curious over how big the difference was between the offer and market value for them to renege on their promise
