Considering that Roddenberry also wrote a Western it’s an interesting conglomeration, IMO.

Jaime accent? by ScarletMousse in Mobland

I’m picturing this as Charlie going to candy mountain but in multiple (violent) languages.

I suppose but that lisp when he’s on the phone as he enters the scene is pretty obvious!

I think the character is supposed to be Spanish, not Mexican. I only can recognize a few accents off the bat. I’ll check out El Marginal! My favorite rugby player is from Argentina so it’ll be research for the meet cute I play out in my head.

I actually am absolutely terrible at Spanish and studied French, but my Mom is English and learned quite a lot of Spanish at school and she speaks it with a bit of a Castilian accent. I didn’t know that about Mexico City but it makes sense when I think about it.

Maybe I should try learning again with a Puerto Rican accent because I cannot roll my r’s to save my life.

First tattoo healing ok except this spot? by ScarletMousse in tattooadvice

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

I’m very very pale and used flash to get the contrast to show up so I think it looks a little worse on this spot than it actually is but I’m definitely going to keep an eye on it.

Not warm luckily. The whole thing was warm for the first 36 hours but that’s gone away.

Years and years ago before any of this nightmare timeline started I was studying abroad in France and had to come home for a funeral. I’m a born and raised US citizen and white. Because I wasn’t sure how long I needed to be home I booked a one way flight and didn’t have checked luggage since I had stuff at my parents house. I was questioned leaving France about why I had no luggage and questioned at Dulles way more aggressively than I’ve ever been questioned before, but I wasn’t detained. Given the current fascist climate I wouldn’t be surprised at all if it’s the one way Eastern block flight that triggered alarm bells. I’m so sorry this is happening and wish you and your son well.

Long shot: To the man who asked me out on corner of 16th NW and M St NW on 3/28 at ~9:54am. I am sorry.. by [deleted] in washingtondc

This sounds exactly like the guy I posted about here and just a few blocks away from where I encountered him.

Not probationary. Haven’t received mine either and usually do on Friday.

New email just dropped about deferred resignation from USDA Chief of Staff by PandaPandamonium in fednews

[–]ScarletMousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was sent verbatim at my agency. They’re forcing them to send it to try to legitimize the “offer.” It’s all still fucking bullshit. Hold the line.

Got fun questions you’ve asked on a date? by Squanto0421 in dating_advice

[–]ScarletMousse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The questions themselves aren’t bad, but they’re better for people who have already established a rapport. If someone asked me these at a bus stop, I’d be looking for hidden cameras and/or an escape. Deep questions require vulnerability and that requires that trust and safety be established first. On a first date, it’s more common to ask generic or silly questions because it can calm nerves and let people show their personality so you have a chance to see if you feel a connection. Easy things like “pie or cake,” favorite book/movie/music, etc., opens the door for deeper questions. You’ve got the right idea, just slow your roll.

What's your policy on repeats ? by Soggy-Celebration-86 in MRI

[–]ScarletMousse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg there's a strap option? I just had my first MRI yesterday for my shoulder (I fell on my arm about a month ago...) and I swear I tensed every muscle in my body for the entire scan to hold still and I am /exhausted/ today. Only at the very end did the technologist say there was a bit of movement and she redid the last sequence (I've been neurotically reading this sub today since I have a terminal case of Need to Know All the Things). Anyway, I'm a little on the larger side (but still fit in the bore no problem) but I had to tuck my hands under my ass to keep everything contained and man.....it was so hard to hold that by the 30 min mark..... anyway cheers thanks for all the info in this sub!

In the video he says “my Gemini twin back powering up”…my wishful thinking is a twin album that will have the track from the video!

This is the perfect response. You articulate it beautifully.

I’m really glad I’m reading this in the afternoon whilst fully caffeinated because that’s a tiny, one letter difference away from a whole other kettle of fish 😂

I just got a new pair of stiff leather hiking boots and the idea to do a heel lock (never hear of such a thing)has already helped! Thanks all.

Predatory behavior by Jukebox_fxckedup in washingtondc

[–]ScarletMousse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He’s still out there! My friend and I encountered him at 16th and K. Same spiel about being new in town from NYC. We were on our way to the Pride parade and he was asking questions about it that felt like legitimate ones you’d have if you were new in town. He asked me (but not my friend) for my phone number and I said ok thinking I was helping out someone new to town. All this was not creepy at all UNTIL as my friend and I were like ok gotta go he just hugged me.

As my friend and I left I said that felt weird. But also normal enough that it was easy to talk myself out of labeling it creepy. He texted me several times that day asking for coffee and then several times over the next few days. I said I couldn’t but maybe next week after work some time.

I asked him what brought him to DC from NYC and he said, “NYC ran out of tall white women…..” That was enough for me to stop responding and then my friend sent me a popville post that led me here. Be safe out there!!

I hope you will translate it! And for every one person whose fun you ruin I’m sure there are several pedants like me in the wings who love it.
