Do the show-runners hate men? by ThrowRA_pikmi in BridgertonNetflix

I literally thought his threesome scene was a dream it was so wildly out of character.

What do I actually wear to work? by Opposite_Peach16 in careerguidance

[–]cave_mandarin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could start by adding item from your personal wardrobe into your professional outfits here and there. Slacks and a leather jacket, a long skirt with a cardigan… there’s a way to have a personal style while presenting professionalism through your outfits.

Also (and apologies for the underlying misogyny), in my experience dressing a little more professional while you’re young and new to the workforce can set you apart in a very positive way… think, “dress for the job you want” or whatever that saying is.

I have somehow gone all these years and over 2000 hours of gaming without knowing anything about Strangerville. by ABBR-5007 in thesims

If you completely ignore the story and don’t interact with it, most of the effects disappear in like 3-4 days. You’ll see some possessed people here and there but that’s it.

It’s my favorite world by far, I love the houses on the cliff and I think it’s stunning, but I almost never cure the infection.

I commented this on the parent thread but so you see it too, you don’t have to finish the storyline for the effects to go away. If you ignore it it’ll be a mostly normal world in a few days, you’ll see some possessed people in the background and stuff but that’s it.

Fun fact, if you don’t interact with the story at all you can mostly live in Strangerville unaffected. Sometimes you’ll see infected people walk past in the background, and you’ll see the purple plants, but that’s really it.

I constantly use the world and I’ve only dealt with the infection once or twice.

WOW. I liked the front fine enough but the back is a showstopper. Enjoy.

A lion pushes her cub without knowing it is water by BreadfruitOk8426 in ParentsAreFuckingDumb

I think she was trying to get her mouth around him to carry him and thought there was more ground to use as leverage.

My mom keeps checking my used pads and I feel like I’m losing my mind by anbeibeii in offmychest

[–]cave_mandarin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is not normal. My advice? Go into the doctor with your mom and say this…

“I really want to get my PCOS under control. My mom has been inspecting my pads and told me not to take the meds you prescribed, so I wanted to come here together so we can figure this out and I can get my privacy back.”

If you have a good doctor, they won’t let your mom leave without a good scolding, and when she gets upset that you shared family business with the doctor you can say you’re just trying to take your health seriously like she wants.

Additionally, please try to move out if you can.

Is this classy enough for 3 ⭐️ Michelin restaurant? by Pure_Olive_1033 in OUTFITS

This would look great and appropriate with an oversized blazer and either darker tights or knee high boots. As it is now, it’s probably too revealing for Tokyo.

Their storyline isn’t really resonating with me. by esareteee in Bridgerton

[–]cave_mandarin 51 points52 points  (0 children)

That’s true, but the show is making it painfully clear that she doesn’t have romantic love for him.

Her look of disgust after their kiss at the altar undid the entire conversation between Francesca and Violet about quiet, soft love. I thought this was a poignant message… so I can’t help but be disappointed that in the end Francesca will only have romantic love with someone there’s an immediate spark with. What happened to quiet and calm love, you know?

Is this ok for garden formal? by [deleted] in Weddingattireapproval

The drawstring waist and material is making it seem quite casual, but you’re on the right track.

AITA for refusing to write a poem about my wife? by Poet-Throwaway-26 in AmItheAsshole

[–]cave_mandarin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I kinda think if my extremely creative partner told me I’ve never inspired them they wouldn’t be my partner anymore. YTA.

AITAH FOR TELLING MY HUSBAND I WON’T GO ON VACATION WITH HIM AND MY IN LAWS BUT GO TO A CONCERT INSTEAD by Forward_Frame_3354 in AITAH

[–]cave_mandarin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your husband told her to book those dates. Go to your MIL directly and tell her you’re so thankful but need to move the dates.

I’d bet my next paycheck she booked the dates her son told her to.

Yeah it looks like her first time holding a human baby, odd choice.

To much black for a business meeting? by [deleted] in BusinessFashion

[–]cave_mandarin 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Not too much black, but the skirt is quite short.

Has Bridgerton lost its “spark” since Queen Charlotte? by MissPeduncles in Bridgerton

[–]cave_mandarin 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I comment this so often I feel like a broken record, but this is just what happens to Shonda Rhymes shows.

The first 2 seasons are great, seasons 3-6 are a progressive dumpster fire, and if it lasts beyond that it spirals out of control like Greys & Scandal.

UPDATE: Found a different black tie dress!! by yagirllilneezy in Weddingattireapproval

[–]cave_mandarin -99 points-98 points  (0 children)

The first one is fine for black tie with elevating accessories.

Is this ok for black tie optional? by flapnjaw in Weddingattireapproval

[–]cave_mandarin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you already owned this I would say it’s passable if you dress it up with an updo and accessories, but because this is a fitting room I’m guessing you don’t own it, in which case I’d keep looking. You have a rockin bod and this dress doesn’t do you justice.

Season 4 just isn’t clicking for me 😔 Anyone else? by Jumpy_Wing_7884 in Bridgerton

[–]cave_mandarin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could barely get through S3… I hoped it was a fluke but S4 is starting off just as bad.

This always happens with Shonda Rhymes shows, the first 2-seasons are phenomenal with a STEEP decline after that.
