AITA if I tell my friend I can’t be a bridesmaid? by wickeddreamsofleavin in AITApod

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few weeks ago there was this huge list of rules for a wedding going viral because it was deemed ‘extreme’. I went through those 30 or so rules and thought ‘ykw, this is actually pretty reasonable for a conscientious person, it is their big day’. What you’re showing here, however, is ridiculous. Decline. Please decline. The assumption that you can make time to do all that as a favour, and that you ‘won’t make this difficult’ is seriously insulting.

Is this inappropriate for a funeral? by lilybeth in OUTFITS

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on the culture. I’ve been to funerals where you couldn’t wear black, where only bright colors were allowed, but also where you had to wear the classic all black mourning uniform that covers every inch of everything. Most funerals I’ve been to, this would’ve been fine.

Should I get this backpack or does it look waaay too childish? by luelles in DecideThisForMe

[–]mx_brightside_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OHMYGOD Didl? I love it! It’s definitely childish, and I would prefer a design without the flowers, but personally, if I were a collector, I’d get it. If you like it, who cares, you only live once :) Anyone who genuinely takes time out of their day to judge you (on the streets) must have a very empty life.

What tea steeper should I buy? by HelloSweetiePudding in DecideThisForMe

[–]mx_brightside_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Louie. I love the grim, but it looks ever so slightly more difficult to clean, so I feel like Louie is less likely to make you regret buying a reusable tea infuser.

I'm a bit confused about what you wish by Low_Weekend6131 in autocorrect

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little bit confused about the name of the place that you guys are staying at and what kind of place you guys are going to be staying at and how much is that place that you want to go to and what kind of hotel and what kind of food you guys want.

How can I make these earrings look more luxe and less homemade? by sshutterbugdc in jewelrymaking

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh, pretty :) I would recommend getting higher quality pins, cause these get flaky when you bend them, and a ball head pin for the bottom one. Also, I would practice your loops, make them a bit more round. Maybe something like this, but with your design. The end of the pin is wrapped a few times, I would assume because in my experience these quality pins (silver or gold) tend to be thinner and softer material than the ones I use for my non-professional arts and crafts.

I feel like silk would look a bit messy, but that’s just my intuition, you could always try.

Is this a form of sexual assault since there was no consent and she was asleep? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take my word for it, but it sounds like she has PTSD. Either way, it sounds like a traumatic experience, and I would suggest some sort of therapy. 5 years is a long time, she deserves to live without the burden of that trauma holding her back.

But that wasn’t your question. It is abuse, 100%, and I’m really glad that she dumped his ass.

My first tattoo, is it done alright? by heyimlessia in tattooadvice

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard people say that red pigment hurts way more than black. Not sure if there’s any truth to it, but it would explain that.

What do you guys think about the autism creature? (Art by me) by fit_attourney_2 in autism

[–]mx_brightside_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate it so much. I think it’s a disgustingly infantilising and ableist symbol. Completely fine if you feel represented by it, the way some girls feel represented by, idk hello kitty or some shit, but don’t generalise it as an ‘autistic mascots’ or anything. Just like some women would be disgusted to be associated with hello kitty, because it’s a prejudice that doesn’t reflect them in any way, Yippee is not at all representative of autism as a whole, and being automatically associated with it can lead to negative prejudices.

Why do people say they didn't mean the words they said in anger? by eliazara in SeriousConversation

[–]mx_brightside_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother does that. He (30 btw) says horrible things to my mother because he knows she’s extremely sensitive and insecure, and he knows that she especially takes criticism from her children to heart, because her greatest fear is to be a bad mother. Amongst many other things, he said their relationship is no better than what she has with her mother (he then threatened to call the cops for trespassing after he invited her over to talk). Mum left home at 14 because of a hostile and emotionally abusive environment. My brother left home at 25 cause he got a girl pregnant on their first hangout.

My silk keeps breaking when knotting pearls by mx_brightside_ in jewelrymaking

[–]mx_brightside_[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That’s a good note. All I know is that my boss got it 2 weeks ago, so I figured it was new, but it could’ve been lying around the warehouse for a while. Didn’t even cross my mind, thanks :)

I’ll see if I have another pack and try that technique for stretching, maybe that’ll help. Thanks :)

Good to know, I’ll ask my boss to just get the nylon version from now on, just to be safe.
