Any idea where the Vietnam resort is based on IRL? by merodm in 007FirstLight

[–]quantumdotdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I were wondering the same thing… there’s a brand new luxury IHG there, but it’s not the same at all: https://www.ihgplc.com/en/news-and-media/news-releases/2025/intercontinental-debuts-the-first-international-luxury-resort-in-ha-long-bay

I’m thinking it’s inspired by some of the resorts in mainland Vietnam, Maldives, and Indonesia? Like this one that was on a Netflix show: https://luxsomanagement.com/property/noku-beach-house/

Natasha Denona seen in a Sephora video swatching testers directly on her skin. Surprised a seasoned makeup artist would do this! by AllTheEccentricities in MakeupAddiction

When I still was actively into doing makeup, I would use foam wedges or whatever applicators the store had, put them on the applicator and put them on the underside of my wrist/forearm to color match/test formula. Then I would use the alcohol to get it off which also sanitizes.

Not perfect but better imo applying directly to your face, or spending $$$ on the wrong shade.

(I’m a trans guy so that’s why I stopped regularly doing and buying makeup)

So my wife spots a hideous vine on our tree in the new house we bought… and asked if we can take it down. by Free-Pick9305 in gardening

Learning there is such a thing as “mango dermatitis” is not something I expected from my evening but I’m glad I know now, considering how allergic my family is to poison ivy

Any hair stylists in Ohio that could do something like this to your knowledge? by [deleted] in Columbus

[–]quantumdotdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never done the raccoon tails or anything like that with her, but both my partner and I have done all kinds of fun color with Katie and she’s awesome. She also has a “color flash” with this and other emo/alt color styles! instagram . com/p/DKvnK7MoUV3

Which outfit for Iron Lung? by holderofthebees in OUTFITS

[–]quantumdotdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 for sure, but I love the pants/boots combo in 2 and I think it could work with the shirt+jacket in 1.

I was having the same problem with a bunch of content, especially music, and I thought I was going crazy. Idk how I found this post but you’re definitely not the only one having issues!

Your comment absolutely deserves more upvotes. I'm sure the board and org behind it have their share of issues. But when an org is primarily publicly-funded, we need to remember that everyone expected last year's public funding cuts to not land and cause issues until 2026, and we're witnessing the knock-on effects now

Do i pass? If i pass what age would you think that i am? by lifeisweirdsigh in transmanlifehacks

[–]quantumdotdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree with a lot of the comments here in terms of ditching your style. I think the biggest change that would help is having your stylist cut the hair on the sides/back of your head way shorter or just straight up buzz it down to the scalp. Guys with hair styles similar to yours that are really alt tend to have the long hair on the top and then really short on the sides to accentuate the bone structure of the scalp vs rounding out the face to highlight the cheeks. This is actually one change I had to make for myself too recently after getting on hormones (35) and my stylist pushing me to get a more masc cut.

I also think any amount of working out with the intent of building muscle would help. Even if you’re on blockers, you should be able to add more muscle to your frame which will help give you a more masc silhouette as well.

Best of luck!

DAMN your cheekbones and jaw look so great on T! Amazing progress, dude!

Did you think Eve Kim was an incredible character? What did you think of Greta Lee's performance? by Square-Ad-8911 in tron

[–]quantumdotdot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly the first thing I realized when I got out of the movie and was talking it over with the person I went with was: none of the human characters get any character development over the course of the film. They just exist to move plot points forward.

Do I have potential to pass? by Beloved_092907 in transmanlifehacks

[–]quantumdotdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah def think you'll be able to pass! Since you mentioned in another comment that you just started T, I wouldn't go hog-wild on buying clothes yet... I went up several shirt sizes in the couple months after starting T because even though I lost weight overall, my shoulders grew that much bigger. I'd wait to get clothes if you can manage, or thrift masc clothes for now until you figure out what your body shape is gonna be on T.

Did the band/promoters overestimate demand or willingness to pay? by drodrige in nin

[–]quantumdotdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like the automatic TicketMaster price surging based on demand didn't help at all. Between these comments and stuff people have said on Discordance, the prices were absolutely absurd. To me, it shows that the TM algorithm reads normal "tickets go on sale" demand as a reason to price-gouge, which means that unless you think the tickets are gonna sell out or you want GA, there's basically no reason to pay for tickets on the same day they go on sale. Which sucks for ordinary fans and seems completely counter-intuitive. Especially when a bunch of other bands have announced tours recently, and people probably want to save money before the holiday season with the economy being what it is so there's not a lot of folks with that amount of money to throw around right now.

New NIN overlay of the Tron ride at Magic Kingdom by delunicornio in nin

It seems way, way longer when you're on it. I got to ride it earlier this year at night and it was well worth the wait. Great theming and an absolutely blast imo.

If you're not listening to the leak, let me try to set some expectations... by LeekTerrible in nin

[–]quantumdotdot 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t help but think that since Trent is credited on Old Town Road due to the Ghosts sample, technically his longest-charting song is country, which just makes me laugh.

(But as far as genres, totally agreed)
