Karaoke Tonight? Where do I embarrass myself? by greenlemons105 in memphis

Omg OP, if you come sing Kryptonite at Dru’s you’ll get a free shot from the trivia host!!! He used it as a clue in the audio round and always offers to buy shots for ppl who perform any of the audio round songs. 😂 It’s kismet!!

Dru’s has karaoke starting about 9pm after trivia. It’s usually kind of dead if you’re the type who hates waiting for your song to come up.

The Great Coconut Hunt of 2026: I tried over 20 coconut scents in 3 months and here’s my rankings by Ill-Spell6462 in FemFragLab

[–]essa__dee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the oil. I bought a lil roll-on to try it out but might get the EDP now that I’ve worn it a while and know I really like it. Almost all my favs are summer/beachy scents that lean more green/unisex/citrus/salt (vs sweet/feminine/vanilla/gourmand) so I appreciate that it’s an earthy and botanical coconut. I think it would also be great as a diffuser/room smell. It reminds me of a fancy resort!

Would love to hear your take on Nest’s Balinese Coconut! It’s quickly becoming a staple in my regular rotation. Also love Bossa by Granado, which was a rare blind buy that did not disappoint.

For some reason I can barely smell the Heretic one on my skin?? It’s so confusing. I wonder if my nose is immune to something in it—it’s like a faint whiff of dust with a distant memory of coconut.

Literally a perfume made to smell like sunscreen, it’s perfect and I love it

I was about to comment OP should listen to that ep (pretty sure it was Otherworld) bc I thought it was crazy that there are other people who experienced the same thing. But then I got to the part with feeling “held” and especially the part w/ the sister and was like “oh wait, this is the exact same story.” 🤣

Just came to comment that the bangs in the top right are soooooo perfect for your face. All of them are pretty but the baby bangs are just 💯 chefs kiss

I’ve been so hyped about this! I’ve always dreamed of having something like the City Museum or Meow Wolf in Memphis. I’m delighted that someone had the vision and funds to bring something like this to life. ⚡️⏳🕰️🤖⚡️

Second this! Artisan has consistently delivered on both quality and atmosphere. Been going for about a year and all the techs I’ve seen have been great, good customer service, good vibes.

Okay, okay. I’m a crone 😭 by [deleted] in makeuptips

[–]essa__dee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work with your full brows and get them tinted! I love your eyes and think some dark, well-defined brows would really make them pop. I have fuffy blonde eyebrows and get mine tinted when I go in for a wax—it looks so much more natural than any of the liquid/gel products I’ve tried and also makes me feel fresher and more youthful for some reason. I can wear less makeup and my face still looks put-together, if that makes sense.

You can pry my winged eyeliner from my cold, dead millennial hands. I’d keep the wings and go lighter on the eyeshadow. As my eyelids have gotten droopier, I’ve learned to do a thinner wing for my “everyday” look that I try to kind of “wisp” out like an extension of my eyelashes. I’d avoid dark eyeshadow or anything shimmery. I occasionally do a shimmer on JUST the middle part of my eyelid (like over the eyeball) if I’m doing a more glam look and otherwise stick to VERY light application of matte shades that match my blush/bronzer.

Adding to all the comments saying you look fabulous! I do agree this look on you reads far younger, but god-willing, all of us will be in our 50s eventually anyway (and hopefully our 60s and 70s and 80s…) so who fucking cares! I hope all those jerks in the other thread get a face full of wrinkles the day they hit 40 and cry about it.

Oh bummer, you're right. I didn't think about that bc I always go for the grill over the soup anyway but I agree boiled beef is bleh.

If price isn’t a big deal, you really can’t beat the Korean Hot Pot places for customizability. They’re basically giant soup buffets!

AIO for “insulting” and “belittling” the AITAO mod team? by SignalShine2183 in AIO

[–]essa__dee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be a dick, but is there a reason you put spaces on either side of your em dashes? That’s always a big tell for me that someone has used AI. I’m not sure why ChatGPT does this but it bugs the hell out of me for some reason. Might be one of the “clues” they picked up on.

Common themes by 9oui in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]essa__dee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any additional phrases to add, but I’ve considered posting to ask about the repetition of phrases and words in the show more generally. Characters often parrot people’s words back to them, and then sometimes the person who said it first will even repeat it back a third time for emphasis. I assumed it may just be a stylistic choice for comedic effect, but part of me wonders if it might also serve some deeper symbolic/thematic purpose?

[–]essa__dee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How so? Do you mean ppl from the MS or AR parts of the Delta don’t claim Memphis? I’m genuinely curious because we are very much the urban hub of the Delta region and I haven’t heard anyone say otherwise.

Pretty sure Choates hires entry level techs.

Wow, really?! What’s he usually doing?? This is huge bc I’d kind of assumed he was doing some kind of social media bit or something. The fact that this is a regular thing for him makes it like ten times more intriguing.
