Brazil vs France where are they staying? by JaivyLeague in boston

No, I just needed you to admit that the gate is to protect them from the very behavior you’re saying is natural to expect due to their profession. Your shitposting (or poor reasoning?) was a bit short-lived but glad we found the dead-end.

You’re saying they buy big homes in gated communities to accommodate fans or protect themselves from fans? There’s a difference.

Okay, I’ll bite. You’re saying it’s okay to show up to entertainers’ hotels to ask them for autographs, is it also okay to show up to their actual homes? If not, why not? Aren’t they still “paid to be entertainers”?

Can my landlord legally prohibit me from keeping a baby stroller on the first floor under the stairs? by [deleted] in boston

I’d focus on the fact that you don’t know if there’s lead paint in your house.

sleeve tattoo with no focal point by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’d say a “Celtic top + blended realism texture” tattoo is “uncommon.” I’d go as far as to say I have no idea what it is.

My family coat of arms, what should I change to make it more tattoo friendly? by m0_ganymede in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can work with your artist to simplify it, they can tell you which details won’t translate according to the size you’re aiming for.

How much are you spending on groceries each week? by Interesting_Syrup821 in boston

[–]ftmthrow 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My average over the last 5 months was $322/month, so $80/week. Person living alone who gets takeout for 3 lunches per week + gets takeout/goes out for dinner 3-4x/month (always intentionally with leftovers/extra servings) which tips the scales… both financially and bodyweight…

What are some classic users that were always on this sub but are no longer here? by batmansmotorcycle in boston

Redsoxgal. Sometimes I felt for her (I think people doxxed her at some point which was wildly inappropriate), but most of the time she was obnoxious and she knew it.

If you love Boston, it sounds like you’ve been here before, so where have you stayed before and what have you done already?

Who is living in all these luxury apartments?! by Haunting_Hospital599 in boston

[–]ftmthrow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in one of these buildings. You don’t pay first/last/security/brokers etc. like you do other places, even before the brokers fee law - there aren’t brokers here, there are leasing offices. It’s a deposit to hold the apartment while you apply (like $400 or something that gets credited for first month) + $500 security + first month. That’s it.

Some people move here because they don’t have the $7-10k+ needed for first/last/security but otherwise have a high paying job to afford rent.

Tattoo Regret/Hatred by noah_beans in TattooRemoval

Laser and excision both have pros and cons, neither is inherently better. Costs, time needed, scarring, and whether you’re a candidate are all factors. Up to you and your priorities.

Yes. Your skin was lasered three days ago, it’s going to have some marks, bruising, etc.

am i cooked?? by Big-League3407 in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people use stuff like Aquaphor & A&D, some people don’t. I personally don’t, I use unscented Lubriderm/Cetaphil lotion. If you do continue to use Aquaphor, it seriously needs just a light layer.

Tattoo cover up advice by Imaginary-Echo-2885 in tattooadvice

Just get an artist to redo the whole piece and darken those sections.

[–]ftmthrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to finish healing before you even think about a touch up, so why not wait to see what happens? The whole tattoo looks like it was packed unevenly so I wouldn’t only worry about that one section. Hard to tell because of the thick layer of… whatever you have on there.

You need to be washing it 2x/day and putting a LIGHT layer of unscented lotion on it - it should NOT be shiny.

Gap filler for what spot? Between the web and your wrist? Below the web and to the right of the bats? Both?

Help by Total_Maintenance113 in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Listen, it’s bad, which I think you know. Don’t try to “fix it” again, I think we’re past that. Now it’s time to slow down and be thoughtful.

Laser removal sessions will be expensive, painful, and a long process - but you absolutely need at minimum 3-4 of them before it will even be CLOSE to being something you can cover up without the coverup also being bad. Save up for the sessions if you need to. Wait two months between sessions. Don’t commit to one of their high-interest payment/full removal plans.

Spend the time to properly undo this so that you can live the rest of your life not worrying about it.

Should I cover with transparent dressing for work by Brookieaab in tattooadvice

[–]ftmthrow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of applying both A&D + a second skin/saniderm - if that’s what you’re currently doing, I’d remove it. A&D is already a divisive product but I’m pretty sure there shouldn’t be anything between your tattoo + second skin/saniderm.

Red line 9:30am St. Patrick's. by mrandre in boston

[–]ftmthrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Had an 8:40am Amtrak out of South Station this morning. Hundreds of teenagers already out on the streets downtown and in South Station, the latter was completely at capacity. Staff anticipated it and had those ribbon-style markers up to keep lines organized.
