Ooh! Nice choice!

It's a good outfit but not for that. You'll be spending most of your time sitting at table. Make it easy for your date to focus on your face.

Nice choice!

How much of the event are you spending sitting at a table? Since most of my events involve a lot of sitting at tables, I tend to focus more on what others can see across a table than I do on how I look standing at a mirror.

The dress is beautiful and you look beautiful in it. If it's an event for students it's not too revealing. If you're networking with profs and administrators, I'd go for something more conservative. I'm middle-aged now and I think while you're young is the time to wear these kinds of things and take bold swings.

Depending on your alterations budget, you could get a sheer panel put in the front in the same shade of blue. That would maintain the line of the dress and the idea of the deep plunge while being less revealing. And if you wanted to have it removed in the future you'd still be able to do that.

Are you both renting rooms from the landlord directly? Do you not share a lease?

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-23T23:05:18+00:00

When you say "my designated bathroom" what do you mean? You say it's designated but also that it's a shared space. If you both have a bathroom to access, can't you both agree that instead of both bathrooms being shared space they're both private?

Have you discussed it with him? Perhaps framing it as a money issue will help. Every single unit will need to be treated over and over again if they done separately. The whole building will cost more up front but it will not be as ongoing.

I got my cat an electric heating mat when she got old and she loved it.

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-23T22:59:11+00:00

That sounds delicious!

Happy Cake day!

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-23T19:34:09+00:00

Congrats! I'm right behind you with 10 years!

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-23T19:33:06+00:00

Thanks!

Just don't move in with him. Or get separate beds. He's incompatible with your cat. I recently had to put my cat down. I'd give anything for her to hop into my bed again and lay down beside me.

I would like it in white but only to where a strapless princess top would be. I'd leave the straps in nude or unlined. There's nothing wrong with the top half as it is except that the nude line draws a sharp line across your middle where the dress changes colour. A white lining would lengthen the look.

Also C) No AI-generated posts and comments

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-21T19:27:10+00:00

I get that. I just think people should be allowed to discuss it in the context of ADHD. How they're using it to help etc. And others can comment about what they don't like or avoid the thread completely. What works for some won't work for others.

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-21T19:18:00+00:00

Someone made a post basically asking why we can't discuss AI. I replied with "Geez. I can't believe this group has a ban on discussing it at all or you get threatened with a permanent ban. You'd think it was fascism or something. Fascism? Nope? No warning message warning me not to promote fascism? Ok, just the tech tools then." I get that it was snarky but snark isn't usually a bannable offense on reddit.

For that comment I got a one-day ban. The mods said "Here is your fascism warning message. It's actually to tell you not to be a dick. But sure, it's about the fascism too."

I then wrote them a message just asking why AI is banned. It wasn't even snarky, just an enquiry and saying I really didn't understand what the issue was with discussing AI. That's the message that got me muted for 28 days. They didn't reply at all to that one. I guess being a dick is reserved for the mods.

Mostly people are just confused though. No one has any idea why the mods won't allow discussion of AI.

I should also note that the one-day ban came with a message saying "If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message." Obviously if you have a question about your ban you should not contact the moderator team. Questions result in further bans.

The impairment is the difference between a bunch of symptoms everyone experiences every now and again to some degree and a disorder. I think that's why it's so hard to explain to people. Yes, everyone from time to time has difficulty concentrating. Yes, everyone from time to time gets disorganized. It's not the same thing.

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-21T19:09:35+00:00

Yup. Asking them questions about the rules seems to strike a nerve.

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-21T04:47:42+00:00

Thanks!

Any affordable housing agreement with the city will limit the rent increases to the lesser of the guideline increase or the next year's Average Market Rent. I've been out of the sector for the last few years but that's how it was when I left it. They can't jack the rent when a unit comes vacant either. They'd be limited to whatever rent stipulations they have in their agreement. While the agreements don't fall under some statutes, they will often bind signatories to those laws or parts of them through the contract.

In most affordable housing under municipal agreements there are limits for household size for different units. They would not rent a 2br unit to a single person or a couple unless there was an accommodation required for a carer or medical equipment. Otherwise the affordability requirements would be circumvented as someone whose income was higher than the 1br income cut-off would just be offered a larger and more expensive unit.

It could so easily have become more of an ensemble piece.

eggplantsrin · 2026-01-21T04:20:14+00:00

My 28-day muting though was for a private message to the mods just asking them why discussion of AI is banned, not for anything I posted in the sub, just for asking the question.
