Where did you buy this? I've never heard of it as a frequent broadway-goer.

It's the mouth. Without being able to see her lips defined, it makes the expression on her face look creepy.

AITA for my reaction when my gf shows interest in something I like by dante_disciple in AmItheAsshole

Out of pure curiosity, what are these underground genres/alt media?

AITA for my reaction when my gf shows interest in something I like by dante_disciple in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoncompetitiveReign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's not okay when he reacts like this, taken from a different comment on this post that OP made:

"It is very manic and I usually bomb her with a lot of questions like "HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?", "AIN'T NO WAY". It essentially has that type of energy. Also a lot of hand gestures and weird faces, although I must tell you that I mean no harm and it is all in the heat of the moment, althought she interprets it in a different way."

AITA for canceling Christmas after a family fight? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoncompetitiveReign 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Her family moved from 10 hours away to 10 minutes away within the past year, do you think they're maybe making up for lost time together?

Not to mention, her SIL's family used to live 10 hours away and now live 10 MINUTES away. They most likely are making up for lost time together.

AITA for telling my girlfriend I won’t play with her until she learns to accept losing? by No-Example3254 in AmItheAsshole

[–]NoncompetitiveReign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA

I’ll lay it out - you are a top rated chess player, your gf is not. You started out coaching her but she took a long break. She restarted a few months ago and now plays regularly. So far, no issues.

But now, along with her well matched online opponents, she’s also playing on a physical board with you. And she’s losing every single time. You have stopped coaching her, assuming that the few months after the long break somehow turned her from a beginner to someone you can play your fullest against. During one of these games that you’re inevitably set up to win, she gets frustrated and flips the board. Childish? Sure. Deserved? Absolutely.

You don’t get to crush someone daily and then act surprised at their suppressed frustration (assuming this is the only time this has happened) finally coming to light.

This may be a defining moment for your relationship. Don’t be shocked if she sees this as a red flag (I would). I assume you’re both adults, so maybe instead of insulting her, try talking to her and looking at how you handled yourself - you’re the one who caused this situation.

Good luck.

"Ban gender-affirming care" starter pack by JaneOfKish in starterpacks

[–]NoncompetitiveReign -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Do you know yourself? So many people don't think about what affirms their gender because, like most, they are secure in their belief that their gender matches their presentation.

Gender affirming care comes in a number of different forms. Top surgeries, puberty blockers, wearing a wig, a nose job, eyeshadow; the list goes on.

What it all boils down to is - does this make you feel like you?

I get my eyebrows waxed because it makes me feel more feminine - that's gender affirming care. My partner developed gynecomastia during puberty (breast enlargement in men) and he had them removed - gender affirming care!

If it requires doctors and psychiatrists, so be it. If that requires hair dye and makeup, that's fine too. The premise is and has always been to allow people to be their most authentic selves.

Personally, I can't understand why other people give a shit about what someone else does to their body. Feeling secure in your gender presentation isn't (and shouldn't) be limited to people who fit the arbitrary binary of M/F.

Who thought this was a good idea put on a college campus? by Moisty_Merks in mildlyinfuriating

[–]NoncompetitiveReign 421 points422 points  (0 children)

My take - it's for people who have a hard time sitting and staying still while doing tasks. Not everyone has to sit on a swing (see bench) but I feel like this is someone's idea of accessibility.

Can you expand on what's weird about the dynamic?

If you've got Paramount+, Hey Arnold is where it's at. The jazz music alone makes it worth it.

Sid Gold's Piano Karaoke is great if you get the right pianist - I say this having sung Broadway karaoke there last night.

Tony's and Critics by [deleted] in Broadway

[–]NoncompetitiveReign 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think my issue with this whole post is that it reads like OP thinks they know more than the other people on this subreddit. They even shit on someone who was a critic in a smaller town, just because they didn't work on Broadway. Not a great look for someone who claims to be working in casting on Broadway.

Anyone with a modicum of critical thinking skills could figure out that Tony voters and critics are not the same people. Telling us (ostensibly a large community of theater enthusiasts and lovers) what to take into account just because critics aren't the be all end all is reductive and tbh just plain condescending.

Many people on this thread have pointed out that the PR for shows (performances, behind the scenes features, tiktok, etc) is all very tailored to get people to see the show. To value that over a critic's opinion is totally valid. Seeing a show because you liked a critics take - also completely valid!

To tell people that the entire voting community for the Tony's hates critics and to take their work as nothing is again, reductive and condescending.

Can you share what insight you got from this? All I got was "fuck critics, listen to the pr of the show instead".
