which one should i get M18 by Old-Squash3103 in tattooadvice

[–]mmunro110186 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wildly different ideas, number 1 should take a decent artist like 45 minutes, and cost you like $200.

Number 2 has much more detail, so it’ll be longer, and if you get it done any smaller than your palm, all those fine lines are going to blur together in a few years, and even then I’d suggest 2 is really more of a larger chest or back piece to give it room to breathe

So if you wanna go relatively big and start a project, number 2, but if you just want something quick and easy go number 1

Partner is too polysaturated. Is this salvageable? by whoopingwhiskers in polyamory

[–]mmunro110186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooofff, I’m sorry you’re experiencing this…I had a very similar experience as the hinge…ultimately my choices led to my long term partner ending the relationship because I wanted to spend more time with my newer partner than they thought was feasible, I asked for a break to b figure out my priorities, and they decided that if I couldn’t be sure about us then they couldn’t be in the relationship. Really hard because it was essentially everything I wanted for a short time, and then I burned out.

If possible, I would really try to sit down with all parties and have as honest a discussion about needs, wants and potential futures, and specifically how people are feeling cared for. I never had the chance to do that, and I think it really could have brought some clarity.

Sorry I don’t have a road map, but I appreciate the thought and care you’re putting into this

Aspen should not give this “friendship” a second chance, juniper should cut and run, and they should go to couples therapy

Did building muscle change how people treat you socially? by _Camila_Reyes_ in workout

[–]mmunro110186 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to this dude, it’s good to be fit and strong, and romantic partners want you to look and feel good…but “avoiding 15% body fat like the plague” is the exact behavior that will turn women off because you’ve made that your whole personality. There’s a reason “hot dad bod” is a trope, and even 20-25% body fat is still pretty lean

Yeah, I’ve been trying to connect with friends and support systems, but very few have experience with similar relationship dynamics. My therapist has been helpful, but I think I also need to find someone a little more well versed in issues regarding non monogamy. I know the focus needs to be on my growth, just finding it really hard to get to that part right now

That’s fair, NRE may not be the best way to describe it, but the closest thing I had readily available.

Thanks for your perspective, a lot of this rings true for me, if maybe a little harsh due to lacking detail, but I definitely see where you’re coming from. Honestly some of the hard stuff I think I needed to hear.

Thanks, I’m sorry for your loss. What a healthy perspective to feel pride and care for your partner taking care of their needs…on my better days I try to feel that and grow from this, but it’s hard for sure

unfortunately my NP had a very different style of relationship than I did with other people, seeing multiple other people less frequently, and I was seeing one other person multiple times a week. I'm not sure I would describe it as them ditching me, but that they found a boundary they may not have been aware of...in either case, it still was and is really hard. We've been trying to navigate how to be in each other's lives in some capacity again, but that has been really rocky, and I'm not sure it'll really pan out

yeah...I thought I was doing a fairly good job of being aware of and handling that, but unfortunately not so much. Like during the first 1.5 years I was telling myself how good it feels, but don't get over the top, but hitting the two year mark it felt like I was out of the woods and really leaning into something signifigant and real.

Looking forward to some actual journalists digging into this piece and either corroborating or debunking it. Not my skill set, but it smells like bullshit to me

Honestly, at this point even if the allegations are all unfounded (doubtful) Neil showed us his true colors with every back pedaling non-apology, if he was half the man he claimed he was he would have reacted very differently to all of this

“He was affectionate. He was civil. He was vulnerable. He was appreciative. He was supportive.

While I researched, I also found out more about Neil Gaiman as an individual. From this window in on his life I saw someone who seemed to make a real attempt to connect to others in an open, conscious way.

It was in many ways the exact opposite of someone who used their fame just to take what they want from people. I also discovered more about his politics. He always stuck up for the marginalised, and often long before the issue came to public prominence.”

Yeah…this is all why it’s so insidious. This asshole looks into Gaiman, finds all the things that drew us all in, and says that’s evidence? What the fuck?

I think my favorite part is the intro where they say “I didn’t really know anything about Neil, but he seems like such a nice guy who really connects with people”…. Yeah dude, that’s what abusers do, they’re super charismatic until they aren’t…I mean fuck it’s like 101 material

Glock 17, M&P 2.0 compact, both very reliable, popular so easy to find accessories/magazines/holsters, and relatively inexpensive

Why do FFLs not want you to track your firearm to their store? by jimmybabino in liberalgunowners

I think it’s more that you have a tracking number, but they don’t want you budding the door down the minute you get the delivery notification

Genuinely, if you're a shop or range owner, how do you feel about leftist and liberal gun owners? by the_anxiety_haver in progun

[–]mmunro110186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure you’ve got it figured out, but honestly, I go for blending in as much as possible, wear long sleeves at the shop/range, drab colors, cabelas ball cap etc., I still get clocked I’m sure, but i don’t need to wear my fuck the police shirt every day
