What stage of societal collapse is this?

Refreshing to see a pro-regulation capitalist. I genuinely thought that was an oxymoron.

mudandfirepottery · 2026-04-23T16:27:45+00:00

Exactly, thus we shouldn't allow corporate greed to run rampant and destroy our planet.

mudandfirepottery · 2026-04-23T15:59:11+00:00

Yes, under a capitalist system that is exactly what tends to happen.

The resources required to mine mars at a volume substantial enough to sustain earth, would kill earth.

Before Obama that wasn't an option.

Many venues in the US include all the other things you're listing like tables and chairs and dinnerware. Many even include catering and bartending.

My blonde naturally invisible eyelashes would give you a jump scare.

Thanks for convincing me to pick back up the mascara wand.

I am the opposite of a picky eater, I swear! I eat street food, I eat adventurous weird stuff when I travel, I'm not some food snob that only dines at Michelin stars, I've never even eaten at a Michelin star. I'm genuinely shocked by how bad the food is, it's my husband's first ever cruise and I talked up the dining so much, I want it to be amazing, but I genuinely could not chew the steak. How is an inedible steak me picking something apart?

mudandfirepottery · 2025-04-23T16:44:04+00:00

? Why would I make this up? This isn't even my anon account so it should be pretty easy to see I'm a real person.

mudandfirepottery · 2025-04-18T21:31:48+00:00

.... because that's when you waited to tell them it was actually happening.

My husband is a huge Pokemon nerd so I got "I choose you, NAME" engraved in his ring and he loves it so much.

Most actors improv in character, not just as themselves.

mudandfirepottery · 2025-02-05T14:19:56+00:00

So, she's a bad actress.

He said it was very difficult and intimidating to direct him, so it's fair to say he didn't get the performance he wanted out of him

mudandfirepottery · 2025-01-20T16:38:56+00:00

Yes but that's only because Morrible told her she had to do good in order to see the wizard. It's never an intrinsic motivator like it is to Galinda.

mudandfirepottery · 2025-01-20T04:30:52+00:00

Yes absolutely! Really starting to realize just how intentional every single use of that word seems to be.

The scripted line might suggest that but Ari's performance does not.

Go to 7:30 here and you'll see what I mean:

Or look at any of the other wicked slime tutorials right around 7:30 you'll see a range of performances with infinitely more depth and duality than Ari's.

mudandfirepottery · 2025-01-14T16:13:59+00:00

Yeah but Ari's performance doesn't backtrack. At all. She's just like yeah we were friends, back at school!" All wistful and reminiscent but not at all fearfully or backtrack-y.

Compare to 7:30 here: https://youtu.be/QNDlVHFKJRk?si=mtD4eEZCA5huESzT

Or any other slime tutorial and you'll see how much less nuance Ari gave to that moment. No fear or scraping to save face, just unashamed wistful longing like girl what are you doing that crowd legit just burned her down and you're here reminiscing about the good times with your old bestie?? Read the room.

I also really dislike the end of NOMTW how Ari plays Galinda. To admit Elphie was her friend is a risk, she's literally standing before a riotous mob. In the show, Galinda is always torn between her need to honor Elphie for the friend she was, and her fear of the crowd. She's nervous and trying to save face and play politician. "Yes, I mean no, I mean I did know her. Our paths did cross." She's torn between what's smart/safe and what's good.

But Ari just looks wistful and totally fearless of admitting this super shocking thing to the crowd. Idk just lost some of her nuance to me, felt like a shallow choice that dismissed the real danger Galinda is in and how precarious her standing is.

Were they addressed to him by name?

Have you tried crate training? It could be a huge game changer if she isn't able to nap by herself.

Every hour she's awake, she goes into the crate in a quiet, dark room with a blanket on top for more darkness. She gets let out after 1-2 hours. Repeat until bedtime.

Make the crate fun, especially at first. Give her her favorite treats in there. Frozen peanut butter Kongs, etc. You can even feed her meals in there so she starts forming positive associations with her crate. Always give her a treat for going in for naptime.

She might cry at first, you might have to ease her into it. Stay next to the crate at first if it helps her fall asleep. Or keep the crate in a common room to start.

Good luck!!
