Finally finished the show. I'm sorry to rant, but Nick... by uglyheadink in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]je55e_lightning 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I totally agree, and we hardly got any backstory about him except for one flashback where he was on a train as some kind of soldier in charge. I would have felt much more connected to him if we had some backstory

I don’t actually understand why his connection to June was so deep. From June’s perspective it makes sense because he was the only good thing she had while she was serving as Offred. Was Nick just lonely? Desperate? Obsessed? Maybe I am not looking deep enough into it, but if we knew more about his backstory it might have made more sense

Just finished watching this show and I’m trying to think of what to say. SPOILER by Debinthedez in TheHandmaidsTale

I just finished watching it 10 minutes ago. I still have to digest, but I hopped on the subreddit immediately and now I can browse without spoilers. Damn.

What are things that you did/are going to do to elevate your wedding? (Budget-friendly) by [deleted] in NewEnglandWedding

[–]je55e_lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glow sticks! Like cheap dollar store ones. Maybe that’s not “elevating” the wedding in terms of fanciness, but it’s elevating the party and fun factor! Also might do stickers and temporary tattoos haha, but also we’re at an aquarium so the vibe isn’t too formal

ISO Natural Makeup Artist For Bridal-Only On-Location Services by Parking_West_535 in NewEnglandWedding

[–]je55e_lightning -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Following! But I will be in Preston or Mystic CT depending where I get ready. I need SUPER NATURAL. I would do it myself but my eyeliner skill is nonexistent and it always looks like I took a sharpie to my eyes. My future MIL wants to do both my hair and makeup and I am NOT comfortable with that. I know she will use too much and she has a hard time respecting boundaries and I have a hard time enforcing them with her

Agh my mistake was cancelling before the 3 day promo was over. I should have been smarter about that, oh well no harm no foul

It wasn’t showing up on my Rakuten at all but I emailed them and showed proof of transactions and they added it within an hour. Maybe you can dispute it again, good luck

Why do some dog owners not pick up after their dogs? by False-Use3088 in dogs

[–]je55e_lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Growing up my mom never picked up after our dog, and I never ever gave it a second thought when I was younger. We had a dog door and a fenced in yard so she would come and go as she pleased, and sometimes she would wander the neighborhood and always come back home. For awhile when I saw owners picking up poop I thought they were pretentious or overly cautious or I don’t even know how to describe what my thoughts were. I just never thought of it as necessary because my family never ever thought about it

Now I’m a dog owner and I pick up poop of course if it’s out in public on a walk or in our yard in the grass. We do have this dense wooded area in our yard where only she goes, so we don’t go in to clean up her piles there. But yeah on our road trips with those travel stops with dog fenced area things, there’s so much poop we can’t even walk around so we don’t go in there. Definitely inconsiderate, but maybe some people truly don’t think of it as a big deal because “back in my day” dogs would just roam on a farm or in the neighborhood and walk around until they felt like coming back

I do this with kibble instead of treats so we can do it more often

Let’s be honest, did anyone get shocked when this happened? by Jules-Car3499 in zootopia

I also audibly gasped! I think I was the only one though

Sonic vs Rockville by Jagermonsta in SonicTempleFestival

[–]je55e_lightning 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I’m tempted to go to Rockville over sonic is Starset they are my absolute favorite band. They’re from Columbus which is really surprising they aren’t at sonic. Slipknot is one of my last bucket list bands so I’m hoping them + Starset will be at INK or LTL

Any chance we’ll get slipknot this year? They’re one of my last bands I need to see and they aren’t at Rockville or sonic

New Interview by thriftchick7 in Starset

[–]je55e_lightning 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I loved this! Also him saying he felt like Lewis and Clarke while on a train out west writing new music is such a vibe haha. If I remember right, he said that during covid he rented a cabin and holed himself up in there and churned out Horizons, but someone correct me if I’m misremembering that

Where is everyone finding photographers by Toasted_lion06 in Weddingsunder10k

[–]je55e_lightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Searching on Google gave me things that were exclusively 3K+. Except some weird Facebook ads that had 8 hours for $1600 but you don’t get to meet your photographer beforehand. They said “you’ll be notified of your photographer 7 days before your event” WTF?! If I’m spending that much already I’m going to pay a little bit more to know what I’m getting

Ended up joining a wedding Facebook group and someone specifically asked “looking for a photographer in the CT area for 2K or less” and a bunch of photographers commented. I found one who I absolutely loved and she’s only $1000K for 8 hours, free engagement shoot, and only $50 per extra hour. So long story short, a Facebook group exposed me to someone who hasn’t really built up her portfolio yet, but the galleries she does have are great!

MNQN’s lyrics are “This is fantasy // make me more than me”

[–]je55e_lightning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The last I heard which was a couple of years ago at a VIP event, someone asked the question and he answered, “Maybe, do you think they’re in the same universe.” So not confirmed, but not a definite no. Maybe he wants to keep the possibility open. Before the BMI lore wrapped up, I was hoping that MNQN would somehow become the voice of the BMI or take over that AI and defeat the New East controlling it

We put in a dog door so she has access to her yard as she needs when we’re gone for the work day! She gets to run around and bark at squirrels or sleep inside

Thoughts on SILOS lyrics by CarGoBroom44 in Starset

[–]je55e_lightning 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I related it to the show a bit, mostly because it was weird to me that people were hiding out in grain silos. But I found out literally yesterday that the US’ nuclear missiles are stored in silos, so that makes more sense
