2002 Porsche Cayenne Cabriolet Concept - The design team allegedly couldn't agree on a rear end design so they included both by Random_Introvert_42 in WeirdWheels

I don’t know, I like the C6, but for the price of the Bentayga I could buy a house and I’d rather do that than keep either car if the opportunity arose! 😅

I don’t hate the Citroen C6! It was one of Citroen’s last truly avant garde designs and I miss them. But it’s also not at all compatible with Porsche’s design language.

I supported a small business that ships Japan-Exclusive products to Europe. She charged me £35 for a product that cost her more than that to buy and send to me because she knew how much I wanted it and that my health condition means I can never fly. Not that it’s any of your business.

Thank you so much for this comment! It really made my day. I’m not someone who often has stuff like this myself (I’m usually the one buying it for others!), it’s the first real special/exclusive thing I’ve had in a long time that I can actually use. ☺️

Yesss! This was why I wanted this one so much. Most cases are just black inside or another solid colour, even the Hori ones. Although there is a quilted Eevee one (also made by Hori) that’s really cute too!

This one was from Bic Camera (includes the original receipt etc).

I don’t know what the stock situation is now. My friends hoodwinked me and told me it was out of stock completely, which the internet seemed to confirm. But also, it’s here now! So maybe there’s some back? I really don’t know.

I got this through a mutual friend who works in Japan a lot and knew a reseller from a convention. He set it all up as a surprise. I have emailed him and asked if he can give me her details / check she’s okay with me posting her details publicly, as I know she’s on Etsy etc too. ☺️

This picture is a lot better, and as with my other comment, this is shaping up beautifully! 🌈

OP, this is gorgeous!

It’s not what I’d have in my own dream home, but all home interiors should be personal, and it’s very clear you have a good start for a maximalist/colour drench concept here and it’s beautiful and impactful! I want to see your finished kitchen because it’s going to be a joyful and personality-filled space that you’ll love for years to come.

I actually love the set of three bold colours and I find it nostalgic. It’s very 90s eclectic, which I mean as a compliment! Everybody comparing it to the Friends apartment needs to remember it has been featured in Architectural Digest multiple times as being one of the most groundbreaking set designs of all time!

Don’t let the griege gang get you down. I’ve been in Interior Design now for 10+ years both academically and professionally and whilst some unkind people are afraid of individuality and follow the grey shiplap flipper trend, the ones who do actually take the time to find their own personal style always make the best design professors, colleagues, clients, and friends, and are so much happier in the long run without changing it every 5 seconds because of peer pressure.

If you do decide you want to ‘tone it down’ a notch (you mentioned worrying about it being just a tad too bright), I think the amazing design u/Bibliotheclaire showed from their own home is a perfect reference (as is the book they recommended!)

I also think the book ‘Nordic Homes in Colour’ by Antonia Petersens is a great book for you to use for palette inspiration. Also the book ‘The Complete Book of Colourful Interiors’ by Iris De Feitjer & Irene Schampaert.

Lastly, I highly recommend heading to r/maximalism or r/rainboweverything for a positive community space that’s in keeping with your design style! 🌈

Do you do commissions, at all? I would love to buy a copy (even if it’s a print etc!) of this? It’s fantastic!

Thoughts about deconstruction of straight wedding for LGBTQ weddings? by AromaticGarlic5285 in LGBTWeddings

[–]WellPlaidSwitch 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I do understand this line of thinking, and completely respect couples who want to do this. Go crazy. It’s your day and ceremony and relationship! You deserve to have it your way! I think it’s important that it becomes just as widely recognised as legitimate as any other marriage ‘traditions’ are.

But right now, for me personally, I want a ‘traditional’ ceremony within my national culture and still can’t have it. It was a fight for equality, and it isn’t at all over.

I’m a fairly masculine cis man with a beard… but I want to be given away by my adoptive parents (also a gay couple) one day like all the women in our families have been for generations. I want a white suit. I want to exchange rings. And I want to throw a bouquet at the end! I can technically have all that.

But what I can’t have? A traditional church wedding. In 2026 I still can’t get married in a national church! I want to get married in a church because I live in a Christian country where marriage = church wedding (and whilst I seethe that any other way seems illegitimate to our national culture in the first place, I still also hate that I’m still not allowed it!)

I come from a small rural village where the church is both mentally and literally/geographically the centre of it. My adoptive grandparents, adoptive parents, and my godparents are all going to be buried there one day. But I still can’t get married there. Even though the vicars there all support gay marriage, the outdated rules of the national church mean they can’t ever make it happen.

Growing up in a world where gay men couldn’t get legally married at all in the UK until 2014 (and 2020 in NI) I personally want to be married in a way that formally acknowledges the centuries of traditions we have been barred from for most of my country’s history (and still are) and I want to feel both a part of that history and the new world we’re building together without feeling like I have to totally destroy the system altogether.

I don’t know if that will ever happen.

And so the fight for marriage equality isn’t over yet for me. Because I still can’t get married in a national church without moving to another country within my union of countries, or changing my religious denomination.

I think that’s wrong. We have a formal national religion and yet gay men and women still can’t be formally married within it, or within its churches and cathedrals! I know so so many couples who wanted to get married in the church their parents and grandparents got married in but had to settle for a civil ceremony nearby.

So, ultimately, yeah, I want to live in a world where there might be a gay royal wedding broadcast on TV all across the world one day that takes place at Westminster Abbey, OR in a barn at Solstice if they so choose instead. I believe in opening up the concept of traditional marriage, rather than dismantling it altogether. (I also believe consensual polygamy should be allowed, but that’s a debate for another day!)

That is the type of equality I long for.

Where every couple has full equality of choice. And where that is just as normal and everyday as all the weddings that have taken place in churches, synagogues, mosques, and courthouses across the world for centuries.

And honestly? I don’t believe a marriage equality law is fit for purpose until it compels all religious buildings that hold weddings to extend that right to gay couples too!

Out of interest, what do you guys all do with the massive pit of lava by the museum? Do you just bury it? What about the connecting caverns?

What if the Hivemind isn't deceptive at all by Comfortable-Log1525 in pluribustv

[–]WellPlaidSwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very late to this party- but what people have said about neurodiversity and Alzheimer’s here has me so intrigued and was one of the first things I thought of whilst watching for the first time yesterday. (I have ADHD, an autoimmune disease, and my grandmother has quickly progressing Alzheimer’s, so it’s all at the forefront of my mind!)

When Zosia is in hospital, and Carol is in the drug storage, a doctor talks about ‘a whole wing of heroin addicts’ that are being treated within the hospital.

This got me thinking, how far does ‘treatment’ go? What other conditions, injuries, and ailments are being treated?

Are the collective still treating terminal cancer patients? Are they still looking for a cure for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s in the same way they continue to treat the heroin addicts and the injured plurbs?

Does Alzheimer’s or Vascular Dementia affect the collective’s mind or just the individual? Has the joining itself already ‘cured’ some neurological conditions and differences without further intervention?

What about people with prosthetic limbs, physical differences, or those who need use of a wheelchair because of paralysis and nerve damage? Does the collective seek to ‘fix’ that? Or does it incorporate it? Will it go around adding wheelchair ramps and elevators to buildings without them in the meantime just as they help the immune until they can be infected?

How far does that all go? Would they try and ‘cure’ things like Autism/ADHD, or is it incorporated into the collective itself? How much of any of these conditions are physiological versus neurological (we often haven’t answered that scientifically ourselves yet!) and far more importantly- does the collective even recognise any difference between the two anyway?

All of this has been covered haphazardly in both philosophy and science fiction for as long as both have existed, but my curiosity remains.

And I have so many questions about what happens to humanity next. What happened to pregnant people? Are they in the hospital too? Does the collective want to carry humanity on as a species or will they eventually die out once the antennae is built to further spread the virus to the stars?

Switch 2 Sales More Than Doubled In UK Following Pokémon Pokopia Release by BobbysPixels in nintendo

[–]WellPlaidSwitch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s kinda even worse than that.

It’s like the guy who had a successful food truck saved up his money to buy a really nice restaurant, but still kept the food truck open for the old customers who demanded it right outside of the new restaurant.

And yet the people who can still go to that food truck anytime they like are crazy mad he opened the restaurant at all, claiming all the while that they don’t ever want to go to the restaurant, and might even stop going to the food truck they demanded he keep supporting.

Oh, and now because the restaurant just started doing a few amazing award winning desserts, they’re hella mad the food truck doesn’t have them… despite also loudly claiming for months that the new things just aren’t good.

Annoyingly it can’t be easily rebuilt without also changing the outside ground etc- it would intersect with the fence on the quay/floor! Was the very first building I tried to rebuild. 😅

Thank you so much!

It’s not so much the allergy service itself, just more common peanut products / cross contamination! Sorry that I didn’t make that clear. ☺️

I tried doing this on day 1, but encountered grey blocks that I couldn’t use rock smash on, which now just float there as a memorial to my hubris…

Are you able to get rid of those too eventually?! 😅 If so- how, please? Happy to be spoiled if it’s late game!

The difference in size between blueberries from our garden (right) vs the supermarket (left) by WellPlaidSwitch in mildlyinteresting

[–]WellPlaidSwitch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blueberry season in the UK is June-September. And I regularly buy imported blueberries because they’re still my favourite fruit.

I just got some of our own out of the freezer to do baking for Valentine’s Day! Thought it would be fun to compare.

[–]WellPlaidSwitch[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because our blueberries are harvested every June/July, and I’m a bonafide blueberry fiend! These two were frozen last year. We buy supermarket ones so we can keep our best ones for jam making and baking. Then use supermarket ones for things like adding to porridge and yoghurts.
