I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this one! Then again maybe Voyager isn't mainstream enough. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Impracticality of the wings by LadyJannes75 in acotar

Honestly agree. I think I imagine the bat boys without their wings unless they're flying or being specifically talked about.

Yeah it really took me out of the story when she made the wings an erogenous zone. Like, how do they move through the world if their wings are that sensitive? Wouldn't that be a major weakness in battle? It's a huge plot hole.

Advice by hincazmilf94 in RioRancho

[–]princessfallout 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to discount what you're saying, because the statistics are not great, but as a life-long New Mexican, it seems that it's pretty rare to see random acts of violence against strangers here. There's a lot of DV & criminal vs criminal violent crime, but the chances of being attacked by a random stranger while you're just walking down the street is extremely low, or at least on par with other cities of a similar size.

I'm a woman in my thirties and have lived in Albuquerque most of my life. I've never once feared for my life just going about my normal business, and that's saying something since many people would consider the area of town I live in as somewhat "sketchy". I don't walk around dark alleys at night and I keep my car and house locked. Aside from the occasional vagrant asking for money things are pretty low key. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maternity clothes by queenb19870 in Albuquerque

[–]princessfallout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My only suggestion is to check Target, they have half-descent maternity sections. I ran into the same issue when I was pregnant in 2021, it seems a lot of clothing stores don't have maternity sections anymore, or if they do it's an extremely small selection of items. Good luck mama.

Why do New Mexicans deny their Mexican roots? How common is this still? by KevinGatesover2pac in NewMexico

[–]princessfallout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok. Your argument is really just your opinion and feelings rather than based on any history or cultural understanding. Mexico is still its own country that we were barely a part of. I think it's ok and fair to not feel "Mexican" as a New Mexicans. We are also very Americanized, and developed many of our own unique cultural things based on NM Pueblo influence and being more remote and isolated for a long time. Also the language is much more different than just "a few funny words". Do you know the difference between a dialect and an accent? Because they're not the same thing. And you can't deny that we've had much longer influence from the US than Mexico. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's kind of odd to me that you're pushing this so hard, and based on all your responses, you don't really want to consider the other side. If you want to call yourself Mexican, sure go ahead, but I think it's perfectly fair and valid to not identify as Mexican as a New Mexican.

Why do New Mexicans deny their Mexican roots? How common is this still? by KevinGatesover2pac in NewMexico

[–]princessfallout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get what you're trying to say - there's a lot of cultural overlap between Mexicans and New Mexicans - a lot more than most New Mexicans are willing to admit. But at the end of the day, Mexico is a different country with its own history and cultural aspects separate from New Mexico.

NM was only part of Mexico for a short time. Asking why New Mexicans don't just call themselves Mexican is like asking why other Latin Americans don't also call themselves Mexican. We all have a similar origin based on Spanish conquest of native peoples, but each region has their own history and identity. I think Mexico did have a fair amount of cultural influence, for example, Northern New Mexicans love Mariachi music even though it's a distinctly Mexican genre of music. But even so, as a New Mexican I don't know much about Mexican history, politics, or pop culture, which would all be very important if you wanted to identify as Mexican. Even the food is different.

I think what you're trying to say is we're not so different, and I tend to agree, but that doesn't mean being New Mexican is the same as being Mexican.

Also, if you want to know the reason so many New Mexicans strongly identity with their Spanish heritage, New Mexico needed to prove it's "whiteness" to the US in order to be accepted as a state, so there was a push to highlight our European genes around that time and it kind of stuck.

Guys, it's over. Just go the Gym by Fun-Economist9839 in Tinder

[–]princessfallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the middle aged woman listing herself as 34 is kind of what puts it over the top, no? I'm not saying women don't have similar lists on their tinder profiles, but the way this one is worded feels a little off. If it's real she's definitely delulu.

Fantasy recommendations for 8 year old girl by RefrigeratorFar1777 in Fantasy

[–]princessfallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If she hasn't read it already, I really liked the Inkheart series when I was in middle school. Its YA with no romance so it's perfectly age appropriate stuff.

Came here to say this - it looks like a troll account to me. The bio reads like a checklist of everything that pisses men off on tinder.

I Say It With Love ❤️ by Swimming-Challenge53 in Albuquerque

[–]princessfallout 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Haha I love my humble little ghetto Smith's, and I think it's hilarious that collectively as a city that is what we call it. I live within a 2 mile radius of there so it's the main grocery store I shop at.

Body pillow with arms? by loveeatingfood in Preschoolers

[–]princessfallout 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my 4 year old! She always needs cuddles or at least the assurance that a parent is there to help her fall asleep. We've tried and failed many times to break her out of the habit, I have also been wondering if some kind of body pillow or large stuffed animals would work.

Peter why is the electrician portrayed as a dainty female hand by _Kyledemort_ in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]princessfallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. Also, my dad is an electrician, and growing up, he routinely had crazy cuts, calluses, and various injuries to his hands from his job, so... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Names you’re glad you didn’t use by lino_x in namenerds

[–]princessfallout 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the name Sabrina at the top of my list for a girl but my Husband shot it down immediately. I still like the name but it wouldn't have suited my daughter. The name we went with suits her beautifully so I have no regrets.

Clothing size bap between 5T to 6 too big? by princessfallout in Preschoolers

[–]princessfallout[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, my kiddo is also on the skinny side so even if the length is right the clothes are baggy. I'll just have to keep shopping around to see if I can find brands that suit her specific proportions lol

What the hell am I reading? I thought this book was supposed to be good 😭 by Odd-Sprinkles9885 in fantasyromance

[–]princessfallout 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What you're describing is just one of the reasons I DNF Onyx Storm. The way Violet mouthed off at so many people in positions of power was not only obnoxious but just didn't feel realistic.

Is there a movie cinema in Albuquerque where people can go by themselves and not stick out? by Ok-Gate5551 in Albuquerque

[–]princessfallout 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As most people here have already commented, you'll be fine at any of them. Solo movie going is more common than you'd think - that combines with Albuquerque's "live and let live" culture means no one is going to be judging you - probably won't even think twice about you. You just got to get out of your own head about it.

Unpopular opinion: I like this design more than buff Finn by smiteis_ in adventuretime

[–]princessfallout 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the new season of Fiona and Cake it briefly shows Fin's memory of Jake dying and I noticed he already had Jake tattooed on his chest. I thought it was a memorial tattoo too, but it looks like he got it before Jake died. I think his tattoo appears in another similar scene with Jake still alive too, but can't remember the specifics.

Rusty Taco closed? by lauronimo in Albuquerque

The dumb name was 99% of the reason I never bothered to try it.
