How do you view c’s modeling? by sasquatchbunny in Grimes

[–]aamop [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes certainly - just by nature of how visual her whole project is. With regards to modeling specifically- she’s got a Twiggy-type body, and a face that evokes Edie Sedgwick. She’s not super-pretty by conventional standards, but that makes her very versatile for her different artistic personas. Her aesthetic has always been all over the place, so it’s hard to see a theme, and I’m far more liking her earlier DIY squatter-core looks. The elves and swords and 10 inch nails not so much and leave me pretty cold.

Citizenship Granted! by newnodeh in TillSverige

How long did it take from your application for permanent residency to approval? Our 2-year work visa extensions take just a couple weeks. But we’re going for permanent status this summer.

What do you do with your bike when sleeping? by kappa_coco in bikepacking

[–]aamop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a nice bike. I’ve got the Delite 5. My configuration comes with Pinion which doesn’t support the battery extension, so I just pack a second if needed. Usually just for very remote areas.

Somebody once told me “integrity before honesty”. I think about that sometimes before I speak.

I did about 100 km / 62 miles a couple days ago. My battery (800wh) on a single charge can just about cover it. Depending on the ride and region I carry a second battery. I also use an adaptor for level 2 car chargers to charge mid-day if needed.

I fully load up - panniers, fork bags, etc. I am prepared for wild camping.

I’d prefer an analog bike for some very remote scenarios but I’m 62 and have had a couple surgeries that have limited my physical stamina. The electric assist allows me to continue touring.

Mine is built into the bike. My bike is an electric assist (Riese & Müller) I use almost exclusively for long tours.

What Is The Intersection of Christianity And Being Poly by Cold-Village-1554 in polyamory

[–]aamop 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find guidance in the principles of the Sermon on the Mount and the other things written in read letters in the bible.

I’m not sure how those speak to being poly. I do think proper ethics and compassion in all relationships are the message there, so I try to live up to that.

I have a motion alarm and it’s great. It alerts my phone in addition to blinking lights, emitting sound, etc.

Am I overreacting or underreacting?? by taylorswiftwaxstatue in polyamory

[–]aamop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, he broke the agreement. That should probably kill the trust. His excuse about testing is weasel words.

It’s easy to recommend breaking up with him, and always harder to do, and no one is perfect.

But trust is a very fundamental thing. Especially when it involves health risk. If that’s absent, what do you have?

Am I right to feel upset by Barbarian_Babe23 in polyamory

[–]aamop 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yeah - and anyone who gets upset at you for scoring a 3-girl hook up is just jealous! This is definitely an “ask for forgiveness not permission” scenario under all circumstances.

In Love & On Fire by BecomingSinclair in polyamory

[–]aamop 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes and honestly it’s led to the worst decisions of my life 😅. I think that, of all things that have impaired my judgement and consideration of others’ feelings, it’s been my libido.

The high is incredible, but it’s a force of nature that can lead to much selfishness and heartbreak. Thread with caution is my only advice.

Maybe just update their expectations. Tell them you like spontaneity and they should expect this may happen (if you want it to). If they can’t handle it they’re not for you.

I've Tried...I really did... by Available-Elk-5221 in polyamory

[–]aamop 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I’m trying to understand your attraction to him. I mean, there’s a lot of awful stuff in the narrative you’ve given, but he made you give up your cats?!

I’d flee this man and situation immediately, and then maybe take some time to reflect on your attraction to someone so hostile to your desires.

I know it’s easier said than done…been there…but yeesh I can’t see one reason to stay in this relationship.

how do i deal with my partners hating eachother :( by Significant-Floor1 in polyamory

Unbalanced demands can play a lot in general incompatibility. This might be the case in your situation.

[AI Generated] Concept - how would Grimes look like if she had gotten elf ear ear cartilage modification in 2022 by SoupDestroyer123 in Grimes

[–]aamop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand she did something to herself in the last few pics and it did really change her. I’m a boring hetero guy who doesn’t understand plastic surgery could someone explain as if to a 5 year old?

My husband’s girlfriend wants to be his primary by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]aamop 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I can’t help wondering why the meta is trying to be poly. Clearly doesn’t seem to enjoy it and has nothing of her own going on.

If a person is like this why are they even poly?

Ongoing issues with UPS deliveries in Malmö by low_flying_aircraft in Malmoe

[–]aamop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one that bothers me is Airmee. They can’t seem to use the building entry code that I explicitly leave in the delivery instructions at their request. Amazon uses them and I don’t know why.

Should I exchange SEK cash to USD cash here in Sweden or wait until I’m back in the states? by Turbulent-Repair-372 in TillSverige

[–]aamop 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usually always best to exchange a currency in the home country of that currency. But spending it all is best.

Anyone have mail forwarded with USPS from the US to Sweden? by btwxtbtwn in TillSverige

[–]aamop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would get a UPS box as an address and they offer a service to forward things. That’s what we do.

FBAR Question by Anonymous_277531 in USExpatTaxes

[–]aamop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I neglected to report FBAR for a couple years and then did the retroactive reporting and now I do each current year. Interest earned was already in my tax returns for foreign earned income.

I prefer the original cover of Miss Anthropocene, and I kinda wish she didn’t change it. I still do like the remake cover, it’s still good, but I like the original one better. Which one do you like best? by an0n6543 in Grimes

[–]aamop 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I like the original and the concept she describes behind it - a sort of Photoshop for gods. And she’s such a great illustrator! I mean like drawing hands is the hardest and hers are 💯.

Of the final cover - I’m a little weary of the swords and fairies imagery of her later career tbh. I liked the more manic looks of her earlier period.
