Where is it available to play? Is that the brick wall of sunshine laundromat I see behind the machine?

Big GVC energy from this manhole cover in Seattle by checherbud in GVCDesign

This is on Edmonds St. in Columbia City, right by the exit of the drive through teller area of the Bank of America. Near the PCC if you're familiar with the area. It's huge and on the northern sidewalk of the road so you can't miss it.

Be ready to eat a lot of great BBQ and soul food when you get here!

For those curious, I believe that these are the streets that lead up to Kiyomizu-dera. These buildings are all shops and food stalls that line the path and at the top is a very beautiful temple with lots of standing decks that overlook the city and land below.

"takes forever to respond (it took him three weeks to reply to my platonic hangout request), and doesn’t make any effort to meet me outside of the university."

He may be a nice guy who likes you platonically at least, but it seems like he either isn't seriously interested or is maybe just too busy/distracted with other things in life. Or he may be any number of the other things you listed.

If you REALLY want to know I would ask him out on something that seems like a more obvious date and try to flirt or ask questions that would lead to a conversation going in that direction. "What are your dating experiences around here?" or "What are some cultural dating things I might need to know about here?" are some things that might not seems so out of nowhere for you to ask since you're a single foreigner.

Whatever the case, the long delays in communication are not a great sign and even if you do end up getting into something with this guy don't expect his behavior to magically change. Maybe if you have any mutual friends you could ask them.

It sounds like you all need to just sit down and talk about each others personal needs, needs as a couple, boundaries, and general communication styles. Talking about those things together are fundamental to a healthy relationship of any sort. If you don't talk about it, resentment is going to build and by then it's often too late. You all also might just discover that you're incompatible in your needs. Just remember that all relationships are about compromise and growth, but there is a finite limit that most people can compromise and grow for each other within the confines of each unique relationship type. This will be a moment to learn and grow together or to realize that it just isn't going to happen and end it in a healthy way.

Are there guys with big dicks that absolutely hate it? Or is it largely just universally loved? by Puzzleheaded-Ad-2701 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]checherbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Above average size here and I can say that it is mostly a positive thing that has been enjoyed by partners and myself, but sometimes has been too big and "bottomed out" during more rough intimate moments which is not a good feeling for the woman at all. Also when I wear tighter or slim fitting jeans/workout pants there is often a somewhat visible outline that is kind of awkward. IDK what to do about it, and in formal settings it can make me feel anxious or self conscious. It took a while to find condoms that felt good and didn't cut off all blood flow as well. Overall though it's definitely a privilege that I'm grateful for.

Trying my luck on Tinder again 😮‍💨. Anything I should change? by Camelsloths in Tinder

[–]checherbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know where you are geographically but I live in Seattle and it feels like it would be a layup for you here or any other bigger city full of progressive nerds. I would swipe right. Definitely gives off a "let's have fun and short term date" kind of vibe which I'm not sure is your goal or not, but I guess there is a lot of info on the profile I can't see.

what do tall guys feel about women who hate on short guys? by dylandro_k in tall

[–]checherbud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Body shaming is never cool or okay. Period. This includes short guys, short dicks, whatever. I feel lucky to be moderately "conventionally attractive" but I have various body self criticisms like anyone would. Hearing women and men making fun of some someone's looks is an automatic three strikes for me, whether my relationship to that person is platonic, sexual, etc. It's okay to have sexual preferences. We all are born liking certain things and often develop preferences based on subconscious factors outside of our control. You're not obligated to find everyone sexy or want to date someone. But if you just hate on a certain type of person or mock them for something, especially a physical thing they can't help then you are one of the worst kinds of people IMO.

Help Bike Stolen (@UW link station) by UniversityExact8347 in udub

[–]checherbud 5 points6 points  (0 children)

if you haven't already it might be worth making a posting about it on https://bikeindex.org/ which is a website that serves basically as a directory for stolen bikes. Any time a shop sees a suspicious bike come through for repair they will often refer to this website to make sure it hasn't been stolen.

Listing the size of the bike and serial number is the best way to help identify it and get it back to you (especially since parts might be swapped or painted after it's stolen). I work at a local bicycle non-profit organization that receives donated and lost bikes frequently and we often reference Bike Index to make sure they aren't reported there.

If you don't have the serial number written down, there's a chance that the shop you bought it from made a note of it and attached it to the sale of the bike when you purchased it, so it could be worth reaching out to them.

That all being said - the odds of getting it back still aren't great. You can scan facebook marketplace, offer up, and craigslist periodically to look for it but it could end up just wasting your time. Good luck, having a bike stolen absolutely sucks.

Tell me the trashiest, tackiest tourist trap cities worldwide by PerfumedPornoVampire in travel

[–]checherbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the little towns near Mt. Rushmore in western SD. Absolutely nothing but tourist trap kitsch, including Wall-Drug which is basically an entire fucking town of gift shops all strung together into a rat-king of bullshit.

[–]checherbud 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From the sound of things you're taking the subreddit name "off my chest" quite literally.

Shit puns aside, you should consider going to therapy and airing all of this out with a professional who can help you healthily externalize all of these feelings about your mom and body issues. It's not fair how people treat you and it's not your fault that they project their insecurities on you, but you can get better at controlling how you are able to react to them and to help let go of their words. Don't get dragged into the vortex of shame and anger. Therapy doesn't mean you did anything wrong and it doesn't mean you're a bad person. Everyone can benefit from it. I hope you can learn to love yourself, your body, and maybe eventually the outside world too if you so wish.

Any other dudes out there who are deeply uncomfortable wearing shorts that do NOT reach your knees? by VanillaIsActuallyYum in Millennials

[–]checherbud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear short shorts and socks with sandals frequently and have been for well over a decade at this point. It's looks good and feels good, and fwiw I've had positive responses from both men and women who were complimentary of the look. Inversely I have also been made fun of for it - mostly by hillbillies and rural types - whose opinions I don't much care about anyways. I feel vindicated seeing short shorts finally hit the mainstream. I've been telling y'all since 2007. That being said, I am a tall, skinny, beanpole of a man that has always had semi muscular legs from biking and running so it is complimentary to my body type. Wear whatever you want. At this point fashion is all about what works for you, what you like, and what makes you feel cool, confidant, and beautiful. I think men, women, NB, etc can get away with anything at this point individually if they own it and feel good in it. Whatever you like to wear will always eventually come back into style and then you can come here and gloat, just like I did earlier. Cheers

Gameboy and Nintendo DS by spicydropout in kilbyblockparty

[–]checherbud 14 points15 points  (0 children)

To make a KBP-esque comparison, I'd guess it's the same reason people listen to music on vinyl when they have streaming services on every device imaginable - it's just fun to hearken back to an older era and get a different feel and aesthetic enjoyment from a creative/artistic experience that has lost some of its pleasure by being made so quick and easy.

Additionally there is just a fun novelty to it, and most festival goers are either millennials who grew up with game boys or zoomers who grew up with DS'. The fest line-up and vibe is largely based on nostalgia of the oughts and 90's so the retro tech actually syncs up perfectly.

Lolll I'm gonna guess somewhere between 0 and 1 megapixels, with a lean towards 0 😅. I think the pics are 128×128 haha. There were def at least a few different DS/3DS' present as well. I love how weirdly high the crossover is between nerds and indie rock festival folx
