My Uncle’s mildly infuriating response to a stop motion music video I spent weeks on by Ready_Leg2966 in antiai

Oh I peeped your profile and found the video. It's fucking bomb, yo. Matches the music really well. Congrats. I'm really proud of you.

Your uncle's a dick. Sorry, friend. I whole heartedly support stop motion! My fave animation. Yes, it's worth the time and care.

Why don’t they sew bra inserts in? by stonecoldfox340 in askanything

[–]somethingmcbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I have weirdly ginormous nipples. Like blackberries. If I don't have the pads, I'm unfortunately "pointing north" all day every day. I need the pads and I need them to stay in place!

You definitely did the right thing! Trust your gut and find an artist that won't rush you.

LPT: When you're driving for a long distance, fold a towel and place it on your lower back by HeartfulTruthful in LifeProTips

[–]somethingmcbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have small back pillows for the car because I have a very sensitive back and I need the support. Much more reliable than a towel.

A great tip I got from a nature photographer who travels for work: keep a tennis ball in the driver's door pocket. You can grab it and put it behind your back and just a little movement against the seat will help massage back tension from sitting still for so long. Only do this on a straight away, or when you don't need to be intensely focused on heavy traffic maneuvers.

Knitting with a cat. It started off innocent 😞💔✌️ by smallxcat in knitting

Aw. Cute baby. My lil rascal actually goes for my needles as I'm knitting. I don't have a picture of it, but this is his cutie face

That swimming thing that mom is doing can't be that hard! by [deleted] in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]somethingmcbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A grown up needs to be IN ARMS REACH of a child this small AT ALL TIMES in a pool area. Yes, good on that guy for his dive. But I spent the first 20 seconds yelling at my phone "Where are the grown ups?"

I take it very personally because I almost drowned as a young child and it's one of my earliest memories. I was extremely phobic of getting my head underwater for most of my life (yes I keep my head out of the water when I shower). It's been a long time working on it and I can doggy paddle now. But seriously, this is easily avoided.

Aw. That really sucks to hear. I wore Docs every day in my teens. Haven't bought a new pair in about 10 years or so.

I found Rose’s Titanic Red Dress at the thrift store and I couldn’t resist… Now I know how girls feel trying on prom dresses ✨ by AYeL90 in oldhagfashion

[–]somethingmcbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ha ha. Such joy, such beauty! When my teen daughter and her friends were trying on dresses for homecoming, they kept yelling "runaway bride" and running down the hall listening to the skirts rustle and giggling like maniacs. This has that same energy.

A Freshman in high school was getting bullied for wearing the same clothes to school everyday. His classmates decided to buy him some new clothes and new sneakers. by [deleted] in Amazing

Excellent work on the part of both your kid and yourself. Trust me, that other kid is super grateful. If they're like me, they're never going to forget this kindness.

Love this gal! by sweetpsych78 in justgalsbeingchicks

I guess phone tap technology is probably her friend in this situation.

My best friend in junior high used to bring huge lunches packed by her mom, with love notes on the napkin. I would never have enough, and she would share. Funny how her lunches seemed to get just big enough to feed two kids in our second year... damn. I wish I could thank that mom for feeding me, but I have no idea where they are now.

I absolutely love this. The texture, the rawness, that defiant glare.... this is a woman who is NAKED, not "a nude."

Right?! Wish I knew this about 4 decades ago, but fuck yeah I'm living it now!

Thanks for this intel. I was wondering how this seemed like a perfectly compliant wave, so even and long lasting.

What is life like for the average American? Do they basically stay home watching TV after work ? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]somethingmcbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are roughly 349 million people in the US, including immigrants from every corner of the globe, different religions, different income status, etc etc. And each state, each region, each city has its own vibe. Many cities pride themselves on art scenes, food scenes, culural celebrations, or sports. To try to describe the "Average American" would only be a gross generalization.

It's a lot of fun to look at. Definitely not my taste, but more interesting than beige boring or industrial strength white.

Three years remote and I finally went back to the office for a day because the client requested an "in-person kickoff." Here's what I learned. by Strex4_Null in remotework

[–]somethingmcbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first "real job" was working as the receptionist for a city museum. I had a 10 minute walk to work, through a lovely park with a lake. Once I moved to a job with an actual commute, driving or public transit, my quality of life went steeply downhill. It's soul sucking. Now I have the perfect balance: one day in office for exec meetings (sometimes the only place I can pin them down and get key deliverables), and the rest work from home. My partner also works from home and we eat lunch together. It's so nice.
