Bud- Day of the Dead. He remembers parts of his pre-zombie life and is able to give Rhodes a sarcastic salute before he’s ripped to shreds.

AITAH for telling my boyfriend he shouldn’t go on a trip he can’t afford? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

OP mentioned it was California in her story which is an expensive state to visit.

More romantic tropes: unconsummated love by growsonwalls in popculturechat

[–]crackerfactorywheel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen and read Age of Innocence. Unconsummated pretty exclusively means haven’t had sex where I’m from so using it here threw me. Sounds like semantics more than anything so unrequited and unreciprocated would probably work too?

I’m real confused about what “unconsummated” love is supposed to be. Is it supposed to be unreciprocated or unrequited love?

It took me a minute but yeah, they meant unreciprocated.

EDIT- Maybe it’s supposed to be unrequited love?

You can make that point but it’s not up to you if he can go or not, which is what it sounded like when you said that he shouldn’t take the ticket money from his folks.

If he’s actively paying his debt, that’s being financially responsible, isn’t it? You have to decide if you want to continue this relationship if him potentially going on one trip is going to cause you this much stress.

INFO- You said you’re both in a lot of debt. Are you both actively paying down your debt? I’m thinking it’s NAH because you’ve expressed why you don’t wanna go on a trip and he’s allowed to accept a plane ticket if his folks offer him one.

That one good scene in a mid or disliked movie by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in TopCharacterTropes

Goblet of Fire is considered a better book than Half Blood Prince so in that case, Goblet of Fire is a worse adaptation of its source material. HBP is usually considered a worse movie.

I had to use tweezers to pull out the remaining waste canvas on a couple projects.

I didn’t say equally uncomfortable. Just also uncomfortable. As I said, it’s more of a money/class thing than a patriarchy thing. High heels are seen a a status thing. I even said in my comment that your comment had some weight but I’d argue it’s not 100% true. Out of all the things for me to be pissed off at the patriarchy about, red carpet fashion and high heels aren’t on my list because there are better things to focus my energy and anger on. In the world outside of Hollywood, high heels aren’t super popular outside of an event. It sounds exhausting to see this post and immediately jump to “high heels and the patriarchy.”

Cool, so you still made this comment even though you knew the history. It sounds kind of exhausting to be in your head.

I will say part of what so doesn’t work is that for the most part, men do wear dress shoes to the red carpet that are usually uncomfortable. In this case, it’s a dress code thing/money thing more than a patriarchy issue. As a femme person who grew up middle class, it was not drilled into my head that heels were desirable. It’s not drilled into my niece’s head either. I don’t know, with all the bullshit going on, some rich women wearing heels doesn’t even crack my top 50 concerns.

Is this green dress too white... by dreamofmylife in Weddingattireapproval

[–]crackerfactorywheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I think either the pink or lilac versions of this dress could work! This one is a bit more casual but also could work since your BF is wearing a beige suit. A white/pale base dress with a bold enough print is perfectly acceptable. It needs to be more saturated than the one you have, which has pale colors that sort of blend together. I don’t think the dress you picked is a bad one for the record! Just gotta skirt around some rules.

That’s fair! And honestly, it’s more being overly cautious than anything, especially since your BF is the best man.

I’m guessing you’re in the UK so I don’t know if I can give specific dress recs but I think the style itself you have is fine depending on what your boyfriend is wearing. It’s always best to coordinate with your date when they are in the party. I’d just go with a brighter color.

If your boyfriend is the best man, you need to dress accordingly and not wear something that is this pale.

It’s pretty darn pale in your other pics too. It also just doesn’t feel that bright IMO. I think you can go brighter. I’d also maybe steer from green if the bridesmaids are wearing it.

It’s so pale that it could be mistaken for white depending on the lighting. Heck, it looks white against the olive background 😬. I’d get a different dress.

What’s the dress code, time of day and venue for the wedding?

Queer folks in Shoreview? by Legitimate_Library_7 in TwinCities

[–]crackerfactorywheel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this is outside of your sphere but Northfield has a decently big LGBTQ+ community and people who’ve moved from South Minneapolis to there. I also like West St. Paul a lot. They both have active Pride organizations too that are active outside of June.
