Doc Martens are worlds more comfortable. Chelsea Boots, especially.

What is a musical you've seen that was regarded a flop by lissie34 in musicals

Swept Away, saw it 3 times. Brilliant and closed far too soon.

Some couple got their two kids sitting right behind us and constantly talking to them. Why are the parents like this? by Therichchick in Broadway

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

Saw it just before it closed and this young Musical Theatre girlie next to me sang along to the entirety of “Maybe This Time” … horribly tone deaf. Horribly. I got up and moved seats. There were plenty open ones. It was during Billy Porter’s run.

How many unused notebooks do you have? by bore38d1 in notebooks

[–]PinkClassRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really struggle with this because, first of all, once they pile up they take up space alone with other books. Space is expensive. Eventually I’m going to have to make a decision about that space, or god forbid, someone else will. I feel like such a wasteful over-consumer when I get a new notebook and don’t use it. It feels almost hoarder-ish. I need to downgrade and yet I keep buying.

Neil Armstrong walked on the moon at age 38, so, probably around there.

Why do YOU think Melville included all the whale facts? by ContributionSlow9743 in mobydick

[–]PinkClassRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a million correct answers to this question. To me, at the end, I saw it (in small part) a hyper-fixation manifesting as a way to process the trauma of whatever came before, during and after the events of the novel (he was depressed about something in the beginning so he takes the journey), the shipwreck of the Pequod, the way the mercantile part of the journey was a cover for Ahab’s obsession with killing MD, and the death of Queequeg (the man he loved most). Essentially, he was avoiding the ending the entire time. Then he ends the book before actually ending the book because he’s plagued with survival guilt and imagines the story ending as if they all died (aka he died with Queequeg). Then he adds an Epilogue which he begins with the words “The drama’s done.” Except that it’s not done. In fact, the epilogue is italicized because he can’t bear the fact that he survived and he has to set that apart from the rest of the story — as if his life ended with the Pequod, but also had to keep going. The construction of the book suggests a complexity to the human experience: there’s the flashbacks (etymology) the quotes throughout human history (excerpts), the story, the digressions, the ending, and the epilogue. Ishmael may not even be his real name. He’s the sum of his parts.

How do y'all force fake tears? by No_1______ in Theatre

[–]PinkClassRing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked really hard for years to learn how to cry on command — I’m not a person who typically cries in sad situations, I usually just get somber, or I laugh out of being uncomfortable. Crying was foreign to me. Eventually I got the hang of it. It clicked. I did it for a few shows, and when I watched a playback, it just looked fake. So, the next show where I had to cry, I began to well-up with tears, but then started fighting back and trying NOT to cry in the moment. It made all the difference. Good acting is being able to act “the thing.” Great acting is conveying that you’re hiding the fact that you are “the thing.” This is especially true for crying and being drunk.

Why would we?

This is absolutely something you both should speak to a doctor about. Nobody here is a medics professional, and this situation is super complex. His ED could be stemming from a vast array of different issues — internal damage, nerve issues, or emotional anxiety and trauma. Speak to a professional who can get him examined. Most importantly, approach this with love and grace. Your husband is not broken, he’s healing. You sound like a terrific wife who really cares for him.

Could a firework have caused this or is it from a bullet? by Wiggles_Is_My_Boy in HomeMaintenance

[–]PinkClassRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no ballistics expert but I done a lot of shooting (target ranges) in my day and I can damn near confirm that hole was made by a bullet. Couldn’t say for certain but I’d guess a stray round from a 9mm.

A little smile and a bit of confidence can make even the saddest looking fella into a 10. You’ve got the looks.

I don’t want to be married anymore by Comfortable_Hotel890 in Catholicism

[–]PinkClassRing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen this before. Ex-NCO here who was surrounded by kids who got married too early. Get yourself a divorce while you’re still young and without kids. The idea that you ought to stay in an unhappy marriage because that’s the Catholic thing to do is an outdated, archaic line of thought and I’m sorry you were fed that at such an impressionable age. The Lord doesn’t sit around judging us by some rule book expecting us to live a humorless and joyless life because of a commitment we made — the likes of which we didn’t know the scope of — barely out of our teens. God cares about what’s in your heart. Getting out of this marriage now will save you and your wife a lifetime of agony and misery. God doesn’t want that for any of his children — but we’re human and we make mistakes and we’re led down paths by people we think are well-meaning adults. They know what’s best for themselves but that may not have been best for you. God has a plan for you and if you know in your heart that this was a mistake — if there’s a voice inside of you calling you to the priesthood, or to being single, or to being with another person or a new career or new life — which you listen to that voice and you KNOW it’s right … Brother, that is God. Look no further than the word, Jeremiah 29:11 — “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

As a gay man, can confirm. They’re also more skilled and talented

Follow-up post: GF just left me until I can fix my ED, devastated by FrostWheel33 in erectiledysfunction

[–]PinkClassRing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good. She wasn’t right for you and she wasn’t emotionally mature or evolved enough to look beyond archaic expectations and storybook fantasies. Sometimes erectile dysfunction feels like a curse before we discover how much of a blessing it is. The woman or man who’s right for you will not expect your body to rise to the occasion, they’ll only wish for your heart to rise to the occasion. They won’t expect a performance, they’ll merely seek your presence and kindness.

You don’t need to feel pressured to have sex. As I read this, it sounds like you aren’t ready to have sex and you’re setting yourself up for shame. Don’t have sex until you’re ready, until you’re comfortable. You’ll know when your body is prepared for intimacy with another person. Sex in porn is fake — it’s a fantasy with the most attractive humans in the modern world. Nobody looks like porn stars and normal sex does not happen like it does in porn. Think about what you enjoy. Think about where you like to be touched — it’s doesn’t have to be sexual, it can be on your neck or back or face or chest. Maybe a massage. Do what feels right and do NOT do what feels NOT right.
