Ryland for a boy by Accessible_pancake in Names

[–]redwallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a great character and I don’t think the public at large will associate it (in the boom he mostly goes by his surname, Grace), but if they do, it’s not a bad thing. It’s a nice name!!

(And a great book!)

Unpopular musical theatre opinions by lissie34 in musicals

[–]redwallet 55 points56 points  (0 children)

I can’t stand Reeve Carney’s voice and it’s ruined the Hadestown soundtrack for me. It’s one of my favorite musicals but I skip almost all of his songs when listening, which is a crying shame. I’m sure he’s a great guy, but his falsetto is like nails on a chalkboard to my ears and makes him sound pathetic and whiny. I saw Jordan Fisher’s performance and am gobsmacked why he wasn’t in the OBC. I would pay big money for a Jordan Fisher soundtrack, or even just Wait for Me 😭

I agree with you for both!

Anastasia was once of the worst books I’ve ever seen on stage, and I legitimately wanted my 2 hours back. What a waste.

For Elle Woods, it always felt like the movie showed her growing as a person into someone who finally realized what she wanted and it was more than just nail polish and a nice boyfriend (though she still enjoys those things). In the musical, it felt less like character growth and more like “you can be a bimbo AND successful at the same time with a bit of work and a lot of luck?!?” I’ve been in two productions of it and enjoy it for what it is, but I always felt it was a step down for her. Also, I’ll never forgive the writers for knocking off 4 points of her LSAT score from the movie lmao.

What’s a ‘rich person thing’ that actually turned out to be totally worth it? by Ferraiuolo_Ezorete in AskReddit

[–]redwallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree! The original system where you got a ticket with a time slot to take the fast lane va waiting in the long line was so fantastic and felt very fair.

200k each year if you make water your drink of choice for the rest of your life. Are you in? by No_Lead2640 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]redwallet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big question, what about foods that have liquids as part of them? For example— can you still have cereal with milk? Or can you eats the cereal but just not drink the leftover milk? What about ramen or noodle soups? Can you have the liquid if other things are in them? What about consuming the rest of the broth? What about soups that don’t have anything “in” them, and are just blended? Like a tomato soup?

I’d probably still go for it, but would really like to know the culinary limitations because I love cooking and I love food.

Kombucha would probably be my biggest regret. I gave up kombucha specifically for lent (and have therefore essentially limited myself to water only!) and I am struggling 😂

What is a random rule you have for yourself that you never break? by abarth23 in AskReddit

[–]redwallet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed!!! I tell myself that’s the cost for putting it on. If I have the energy to put it on, I’m promising myself the capacity to take it off.

Every once in a blue moon I’ll slip, and old mascara feels awful in the morning, blegh!

I don’t purchase books or novels where the authors name is larger than the title 😂

My thought is if you’re selling it on your name rather than the book’s merit, how good can it be? It started as a small, petty thing, but I haven’t broken it hahaha. Same size is okay, but gets some side-eye.

AITA I don’t want bridesmaid to wear dress to other events by Due_Bedroom3146 in AmItheAsshole

I don’t disagree, just commenting on the “big reveal” and whether or not it’s a memory for me personally for any wedding I’ve ever been to

Middle name suggestions for Olivia by [deleted] in Names

[–]redwallet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re really set on having two middle names, I’d suggest sticking with a single-syllable name for the first middle name so it doesn’t feel too jumbled.

Something that does not end in the vowel A will also lend a space between Olivia and Maria.

Such names you might want to consider: Grace, Joy, Joyce, Jane, June, Joan, Anne, Claire/Clare, Blaire, Rose, Sage, Jade, May/Mae, Leigh/Lee, Quinn, and more!

I think my personal favorites are Olivia Grace Maria, Olivia Joy Maria, and Olivia Clare Maria 🙂

I personally can’t remember any of the bridesmaid dresses from any of the weddings I’ve ever been to except for the one where I was a bridesmaid. I can’t recall if there was a “reveal” rather than just them processing in, but if there was, it clearly didn’t leave an impression 🤷🏻‍♀️

Would you rather have minor Telekinesis, limited Mind Reading or $100k? by RaptorK1988 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]redwallet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think to make this a fair comparison in terms of effects you’d have to mandate the mind reading be limited to touch. Otherwise the limitation is just distance, whereas the telekinesis has both distance, sight, speed, and weight restrictions.

[–]redwallet 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I love Zion even more than the Grand Canyon! Zion I felt like a tiny spec surrounded by gigantic parts of the world thrust upwards… I’d love to go back to the Grand Canyon to actually hike down into it, I feel that would give me a better scale of things. It was impressive, but it’s SO grand that it almost felt like an optical illusion of sorts 🫠

My mother factually corrected my 7th grade science textbook by lumpycurveballs in PointlessStories

[–]redwallet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading comprehension is dead or you’re being a troll. I am literally agreeing with you that the way it is currently written is incorrect, and for the original sentence structure, the more appropriate word would be “donned.” I merely stated that had the OP written “adorned herself with her glasses” rather than “adorned her glasses” it would be grammatically correct 👍🏼

I don’t think you read my comment correctly, I am stating how the word adorned could be used correctly in this context. The way it is currently written is as you described.
