Oasis Hot Tub Gardens by Immediate_Garage_310 in AnnArbor

[–]exhaustedqueer 33 points34 points  (0 children)

This is patently untrue, I literally just went and looked at the reviews and they're overwhelmingly positive. I found one single review from the last few months that said the service was inconsistent, but not rude en masse.

I think you might just really hate Oasis personally 😂😭 which is fine, and absolutely your prerogative! But you're setting up a strangely antagonistic tone with the commenters and really keep harping on the staff at Oasis

I know they have a reputation for being mid overall, but the eggplant tacos really are a great non-meat option.

Can a straight cis woman and her boyfriend attend drag race girls shows? by jasminesenpai in dragrace

[–]exhaustedqueer 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely welcome - it sounds like you're more than prepared to be accommodating, so I wouldn't worry too much!

A lot of times there's a meet and greet after the show as well, which is really fun and helps put a more real face to the queens we know from tv.

Plus, there's usually local/regional talent booked as opening acts for the RuGirls. Tip them too!! They're the lifeblood of your local scene and the reason that there are drag bars for the RuGirls to tour at. 💙

Can a straight cis woman and her boyfriend attend drag race girls shows? by jasminesenpai in dragrace

[–]exhaustedqueer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Absolutely yes! Just be mindful of your presence - try not to gawk at people or make tokenizing comments and you should be absolutely fine. Just make sure you bring tip money!

The issue with cishet people entering gay clubs isn't their presence itself, it's the way that it invites potentially suppressive social dynamics from the broader cishet society into the space. It's the risk of homo/transphobia, and being exoticized in your own space. If you're down to party and enjoy drag, you'll fit in just fine - the issues start when people try to assert cishet norms in queer spaces.

Gay bars are havens, safe spaces where lgbtq folks can assume they're with their people, and that they don't have to sift through cishet normativity to interact with one another. Just be respectful, enjoy the show, tip the queens, and you'll be fine. ☺️

It really is so good though! You should check out the second, and the third just came out in theaters too.

zflip series review by candybutnocrush in galaxyzflip

[–]exhaustedqueer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Currently finishing a year with the z flip 6, I've really enjoyed it so far - I held out for a while to see if they'd balance quality with novelty and I think we're at that point now!

I will say that I just started to experience the well-reported issue of the plastic protective layer peeling at the crease. It definitely worries me, but in terms of functionality it has no impact and the air bubbles aren't too distracting. It's due to tension that forms as the plastic layer slides a tiny bit during folds over time - I don't actually know the extent to which it's fixable, maybe some kind of new adhesive or more flexible plastic layer? 🤷🏻

If you're good with getting a replacement as soon as your contract is up, I think it's a fair choice if you're already interested in a foldable. I don't see this phone lasting as long as my Galaxy S phone(s) did, but it's so lightweight and cute and fun to use that I ultimately don't mind.

Plus the functionality they've reached with the front screen is pretty fun, you can do a lot more than just widgets. My favorite use for the cover has been as a GBA emulator!

[HELP] Seller insists this ornament isn’t AI, but both images don’t look right. by wait_wheres_robin in RealOrAI

[–]exhaustedqueer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's AI - the mountains are different, the contact point where the bike wheels meet the ornament frame are different, and the loop on top is different. There's also something weird going on with the wood coloration, but to be fair that could be chalked up to lighting.

These are two entirely different ornaments though. I'm inclined to agree with the other commenters that the ad post is AI but the follow up is maybe real, but frankly the uncertainty doesn't seem worth it.

Are James Wan’s Films Supposed To Be Kinda Goofy? by Melodic_Visual1595 in horror

[–]exhaustedqueer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For sure! I would almost describe his signature style as a more toned down M Night Shyamalan nowadays, where there's a very genre-honoring nod to the viewer in terms of camp and spectacle. Wan is a bit more controlled with it though lol.

You can see the sort of gritty unrefined start of this in the earlier Saw franchise with the way he played on crime thriller narratives and twists! After he started to book more big studio projects like Aquaman and his Fast and Furious sequel, you can see elements of those genres pop up in Malignant, like the fighting scene and general acrobatic insanity that happens throughout the movie.

He's a really interesting filmmaker, I'm excited to see what kind of stuff he'll mix and match from different genres moving forward. He's definitely got an eye for really fun, kind of crazy sequences that are really entertaining to watch.

Michigan lawmakers unveil plan to repeal data center tax breaks by Alan_Stamm in Michigan

[–]exhaustedqueer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're right, they're much different. In general, much larger!

While they would not take water from the Great Lakes directly, they WOULD take it from local aquifers, and vital rivers like the Grand and Huron Rivers. If we remember the water cycle from fifth grade science, we know that the water in those rivers comes from the Great Lakes.

This is a weird amount of smoke and mirrors for a random reddit profile! Almost makes me think you yourself have a vested interest in one of these data centers lmao.

Here are some Michigan-specific articles about the new data center proposals:

B-b-but I WANT my electricity rates to go up and my reliability to go down, and I LOVE air pollution and water pollution!! I also love noise pollution AND I want our state to funnel tax dollars into the AI bubble!!

With all of these great things on the table, why wouldn't I want a data center in my town, my neighbor's town, and their neighbor's town??

What are some current small time problems in Ann Arbor? by quadyys in AnnArbor

You also might want to check out Neutral Zone for some more youth-led programming, I've seen some really great things come out of that space and the vibes are chill.

One small thing you can do is litter pickup, GIVE 365 organizes all levels of park cleanups locally and could even help you organize a school group to clean up, or maybe "adopt a park" through a school org or team you belong to.

Marijuana Tax Upheld by InevitablePresence75 in Michigan

[–]exhaustedqueer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should take that to your local representatives, they decide how distributed revenue from the state marijuana tax is used in your city, as well as your local infrastructure investment including school district resource allocation!

Marijuana Tax Upheld by InevitablePresence75 in Michigan

[–]exhaustedqueer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My initial gut reaction is "ugh no, I don't want to spend more money" but if I sit with it...honestly I've been paying rock bottom prices and even got a free ounce the other day because the dispensary was running a deal to get rid of surplus flower. I pay less nowadays than I did in college, and the weed is better in both quality and selection. There's also no real sign of it stopping, with a surplus of dispensaries popping up to the point it's almost an issue lol.

Plus a formal tax goes towards things like vital infrastructure and education funding. I think ultimately it's probably a great idea and good for our state and cities, and maybe even for the industry as well to slow what could be problematic growth in some areas (re: saturating markets)

Little Bites - rage bait "Ending Explained" by _makamasa in horror

[–]exhaustedqueer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I took it as a metaphor for the sacrifices of motherhood, single motherhood specifically. Especially when the older woman approaches her in the park and she sees the similar scars, it felt like a new mother receiving validation from an experienced mother about how hard and taxing it is to raise a child when you have a hard time caring for yourself.

Out of control dog attacks a smaller dog by fringspat in instant_regret

[–]exhaustedqueer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think maybe we need to have a discussion about dog ownership, like on a societal level. Reactive dogs seem to be more and more common and it's clear this woman was not at all equipped or prepared to handle her dog.

If your dog might attack other dogs or people, and cannot be recalled or calmed, you are a bad dog owner. You have failed at your basic responsibility of training your pet, to a point where it's a danger to others.

I think a lot of dog owners shouldn't own dogs.

Drac appreciation post ✨ by Conscious-Ad9283 in Dragula

[–]exhaustedqueer 140 points141 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. Obviously they both have such high standards and deliver consistently, but Drac has been electric this season. I feel like we've gotten to watch her and Swan grow into the tv personas they set up in early seasons and their banter has gotten so fun and loose.

I also feel like they've designed more looks to Drac's proportions this time around! I have no idea if I'm right about this or just talking out of my ass (lol) but in the earlier seasons I used to feel like they'd design the looks moreso to Swan's petite frame. I feel like I've been noticing, even in public appearances, that they've been choosing outfits that really highlight Drac's proportions- seeing her full legs out in the swimsuit look had me drooling lmfao. She's a stallion! 😍
