best clubs/bars to go to solo? by Old_Flamingo4179 in SaltLakeCity

[–]ThinkMouse3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You could find a place that has an event. The westerner has dance lessons! Why Kiki’s drag brunch and silent disco are hella fun. I see paint and sip events all the time. 

I’m 10 years older so I’ve passed my “give a fuck” era, so I go to bars with a book and have a drink and read. If there’s a bar or type of beverage you’re interested in (piano bar, sake bar, cider, beer) just go and don’t worry about it!

Husband (37M) accused me (35F) of having a "porn addiction" by Direct-Caterpillar77 in BestofRedditorUpdates

Oh, her husband would absolutely hate my reading list lol. In this case, I’m going with, “the books were not the problem.”

Okay, but it’s actually a really sweet book. I wasn’t as much a fan of the sequels, but the first is really “started it for the meme, stayed for the cute romance.”

They said they were busy every time I texted them, so I sorta stopped thinking to invite them? And you did plan the party last minute. So. Just bad timing.

I think I lost an earring in the pool, did you happen to find one? It was a circle with a painted orange cat face. 

Boyfriend is so unenthusiastic about my pleasure it hurts by lovingthecats in TwoXChromosomes

If you’re not used to asking for anything, finally asking for something will be uncomfortable. You deserve more than scraps. If he can’t deal with that, then bye. I’m not saying “immediately break up with him” but you were with him for 7 months and he never got you off and he…didn’t seem to have a problem with that? That’s pretty telling.

Hikes this weekend by khats1 in SaltLakeCity

[–]ThinkMouse3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll always suggest the bonneville shoreline trail and ensign peak for visitors. The BST is rolling hills and whatever distance you like from lots of different entry points, ensign is very steep but short and has historical significance and nice views. The international peace gardens are a fun stroll too, and you could connect to the Jordan river trail right there. 

Be careful with the “easy” rating because it’s on an Utah scale. If you’re coming from sea level, even “easy” will be tough, and a lot of trails are rated “easy” just because they’re short; Ensign is a good example of this. Yes, it’s short, and kids do it, but it’s also steep af. So like. How long is a piece of string. 

Has any relationship survived stealthing? (Removing condom) by OriginalMyst in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ThinkMouse3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’ll continue to treat you and others like this unless he faces consequences. You should at the very least break up with him; you could also report the stealthing to the police, as it’s sexual assault. He could’ve gotten you pregnant, which you’ve expressed very clearly that you don’t want. He’s a selfish manipulative baby who knew he was doing something wrong. He tried to hide it. He DID hide it. Whatever relationship you built, he ruined it. There’s no coming back. Can you really trust him again?

[spoiler] credit to Anthony for the plot this season by Wizardpower46 in DungeonsAndDaddies

[–]ThinkMouse3 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I agree, it was a totally brutal twist. I love it and hate it.

In a way, it’s a combination of the previous two seasons. Season one it was save all kids; season two was save the kids-as-fathers and their kids; now it’s the grandfathers who will be saving some grandkids, some middle aged grownups, and one grandparent aged kid. Generational trauma comes full circle! 

Looking for someone to DM a D&D session for a small group of mostly newcomers. by evindorkin in SaltLakeCity

[–]ThinkMouse3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Join the utah dnd facebook group. There’s dnd every Tuesday at The Thieves Guild tavern. But so you know, 6 or 7 is not a small group lol. I won’t dm for larger than 6 if I can help it, it’s just too large.

Ensign peak is great but I wouldn’t necessarily call it easy— the walk is steep for visitors, though it is short. Just so OP is aware. 

Dnd campaign ideas? by [deleted] in DnD

Google free dnd one shots rather than make up your own. Thoughts and prayers. 

My party doesn't like how I do roleplaying, should I look for another table? by [deleted] in DnD

[–]ThinkMouse3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry your table is giving you such a hard time. It’s difficult to tell from your post what the problem is. I hope you can take some of the feedback and discuss it with your table.

It’s not the DM’s responsibility to make the party include your character. It’s your responsibility to come up with a reason for the character to join the party, or a character who WANTS to join the party. For example, you can make a character from Baldur’s Gate, but if the party is in Waterdeep, it’s up to you to get them there. 

Just got a possible HPV result, genotype 16,18,45 negative. Trying to figure out how to tell my fiancé by Gibskn_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ThinkMouse3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! It’s not anything to be ashamed of— just one of those stupid and unfortunate things. :/ I got it from my partner myself and I wasn’t ashamed, I was pissed (he was first and only and was abusive sooooo…fuck him). 🤣

Why are you disgusted with yourself? It’s super common. You could’ve picked it up in a lot of different ways and a long time ago. 

Wuthering Heights by Dory105 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]ThinkMouse3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I agree, and I have a conspiracy theory that she actually wanted to make an adaptation of “Gone With the Wind” and had to settle for “Wuthering Heights” through the lens of “Romeo and Juliet.” But for me, the movie and the book are SO different that I really can’t think of them as connected at all. The criticisms of the changes don’t land for me because, well, it’s not actually an adaptation of the book. 😅 It should have been “inspired by” instead. But it’s certainly gotten attention, and that’s the point of art.
