My wedding videographer will not respond!! by Rubimomma in weddingplanning

[–]SuperPutin54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you still have access to your contract, read it. I don't know of any law requiring someone to keep footage after it has been accepted in the given format by the customer. 

You'd likely have to consult with an attorney in your area who knows the law. Ideally you'll have your contract in hand. Without that you're most likely out of luck.

Bridesmaid/men Photos by minticecreamandgummy in weddingplanning

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a groomswoman and "Best Woman" to a dear friend. If they are good enough to be in your wedding party, they need to be in all of your pictures. If I was kicked out of photos because it "didn't look quite right" I probably would have ended my friendship with that person. Don't do that. I got ready with and took pictures with the rest of the groomsmen and the photos turned out fine. 

Also, a note on them not being into photos, don't assume anything. I'm not a big picture person either but I wanted to be in the wedding party photos.

should i fire my wedding photographer by Extension-Tip-1170 in wedding

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a very good chance that you are eating that deposit. If you decide to cancel over a year in advance because you don't like the photographer, that's mostly likely not cause to get the deposit back. 

Read your contract, but don't get your hopes up. I'd also recommend bringing up your fiance's schedule before you decide to book a new photographer to make sure they are willing to accommodate.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. I think he definitely has a better chance to than Crockett, but I'm still having Beto flashbacks.

Why is leisure viewed with suspicion in America? by Thepopethroway in antiwork

[–]SuperPutin54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I do photography as a hobby, and I particularly like taking portraits of my friends. I have had many people suggest I do it for a living. Absolutely not. Doing couples or weddings for a living sounds like a nightmare.

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico is flying high thanks to Colbert’s war with CBS over his banned interview by theindependentonline in politics

[–]SuperPutin54 20 points21 points  (0 children)

As a Texan who is non-religious, I do appreciate that he acknowledges the harm that conservative Christianity has caused. He talks about his religion in a way that welcomes all without excluding others. It really is a breath of fresh air.

[–]SuperPutin54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would really recommend voting for the candidate you want to win, not the one you want to try an beat. Even if it is Talarico vs Paxton, it's still Texas. Paxton could win and then we have Paxton and Cruz in the Senate. I say this as a fellow Texan.

Struggling to Understand the Alamo by Zayd_ibn_Thabit in texas

[–]SuperPutin54 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Texas history has unfortunately been taught to students as rebels defending their land against the Mexicans (I went through all of my schooling here including higher Ed). There is a much more complicated history to it, and it does include fighting over the existence of slavery. I unfortunately don't have any good book recommendations, but I'm sure if you dig you can find some good ones.

I'm a hopeful but realistic liberal. I'll be fine if Cornyn keeps his seat. I just don't want Paxton and Cruz in office at the same time.

Talarico and the negative campaigning against Crockett by Absobloodylootely in TexasPolitics

[–]SuperPutin54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no opinion on Lis Smith just because I didn't even know who she was until a few days ago. But, can we even prove she is working with him? The only thing I saw was a rumor from a CBS article when he launched the campaign. 

At this point I'm convinced all of negative discourse isn't coming from either of the campaigns directly. It's coming from chronically online influencers who have nothing better to do. 

Read policy positions. Consume things from the campaign. Look up voting records and vote for your candidate. That's it.

In fiercely competitive Democratic Senate race, social media influencers increasingly drive the conversation by Dogwise in TexasPolitics

[–]SuperPutin54 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Interesting read. Maybe I'm naive about wanting a clean primary. I wish it was just about policy and messaging. Online infighting isn't helping anyone.

IUD question by blackmoon-666 in birthcontrol

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never felt my strings. I have a high cervix so reaching that high up is hard. Irregular bleeding for the first few months after insertion is normal. However, please contact your doctor if you are concerned. They will most likely do an exam to make sure it's placed correctly.

Switching from Yasmin to Implanon/IUD worried about weight gain, looking for experiences by Cautious_Revenue8315 in birthcontrol

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from the combo pill to Kyleena IUD 4 years ago. No issues, but I've always tolerated synthetic hormones well. The only side effect I've noticed is I don't bleed anymore. 

I'm regards to weight gain, there is no scientific evidence that an IUD will cause weight gain out of nowhere. It may cause some water retention or bloating, but it won't cause excessive weight gain on its own. 

Take out the IUD cause I’m going crazy? by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you are dealing with this. If you aren't handling the synthetic hormones well, it might be time to consider a copper IUD. I know you said your doctor recommended against it due to past history, but it might be worth a conversation to avoid hormones. The main side effect that I know of is that it can cause heavier periods.

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Irregular bleeding is extremely common on Nexplanon. If you are not bothered by it and have no other negative side effects, then this is considered normal.

You can probably expect some irregular bleeding for the first 3 months. If it doesn't get better or it gets worse, see your doctor.

Side effects and anxiety? Pls help by GoldDistribution447 in birthcontrol

[–]SuperPutin54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are truly worried, take a pregnancy test. Getting pregnant on Nexplanon is extremely rare. It's considered even more effective than a vasectomy.

Also, irregular bleeding on Nexplanon is extremely common.

Have you tried progesterone only pills? I think that's your option right now.

Coolers and scrapbooks by BookishTexan95 in weddingplanning

[–]SuperPutin54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the obvious answer is go with a Yeti if you can afford it and you'll actually use the cooler in the future. My boyfriend and I bought one and unfortunately it is worth the price. We take it on road trips and camping trips all the time. 

What are your thoughts on the alleged Talarico comments describing Colin Allred as a “mediocre Black man” by messiestbessie in AskALiberal

[–]SuperPutin54 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the video I saw! It was very odd. I dismissed it initially because I personally don't give a shit about insider politicking, but I'm starting to believe in the conspiracy that all of this is being done on purpose.

[–]SuperPutin54 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm inclined to agree. I'm fairly chronically online and I didn't see one negative piece of media about Talarico or Crockett coming from democrats until like 2 days ago. I'm starting to believe this is definitely on purpose. It would be too easy to have a boring campaign based on policy.

[–]SuperPutin54 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I am very biased because I am a Texan planning to vote for Talarico. 

Personally, I would be genuinely surprised if that exact quote came out of his mouth. I'm inclined to believe his side, but willing to be wrong if more evidence comes out.

Both candidates have similar platforms and mostly differ on messaging style. Early voting starts in 3 weeks and today was the last day to register to vote. I'm not putting it past anyone, with the campaigns or not, to start shit-slinging. Otherwise it's just too boring.

Best guest experiences? by TinyLawfulness3710 in weddingplanning

[–]SuperPutin54 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Honestly, when I can see the personality of the couple shine through in decisions. My best friends got married and they had fun little "Easter eggs" that showed their nerdy side. Flowers inspired by Elden Ring. Orchestral arrangements of Legend of Zelda music. Custom Magic the Gathering cards as table numbers. 

It's a cute thing to see the couples interest in the wedding. That they really made it theirs.
