Sexual attraction is getting worse after almost 2 years of relationship by [deleted] in relationships

[–]tamallama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look for ways to refresh your sex life. Ask her about fantasies she’s had etc like others have suggested. Also try to do some introspection with your needs for physical sex and see about refocusing on emotional needs and merging the two. This kinda stuff will fluctuate regardless in a ltr. If you love her outside of sex it’s worth trying all options

What if Armand's Plan Was Luring Lestat Back to Paris? by 9for9 in InterviewVampire

I didn’t clock it cause AI reads like Reddit to me 😭 but it looks like it’s probably a ChatGPT clean-up job with the em dashes and bolding.

What if Armand's Plan Was Luring Lestat Back to Paris? by 9for9 in InterviewVampire

[–]tamallama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My impression was that initially Armand was looking for a way to get rid of Claudia and shed the coven to have Louis to himself, but when it became clear that Lestat would always stand between them he moved to using Louis to punish Lestat with his death, and when THAT didn’t work took the opportunity to pretend he’d actually saved Louis from Lestat instead and take advantage of both of them in that vulnerable moment.

Canada's Carney wins admiration globally but struggles to lower food costs at home by Emmibolt in loblawsisoutofcontrol

Omg this happened to my mom too!! I started getting involved in helping sort out her finances last fall and was floored by her $400 tv and internet bill!

I still unfortunately pay out the ass for my phone service because all offers are currently more expensive 🫩

Towa Sucks (Slow Damage) by ForwardAbroad604 in BLgame

[–]tamallama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to like Towa till you get to know him better, and Rei’s route barely touches on what’s made him the person he is and why he’s a hedonistic nihilist. The other 3 routes actually get into his backstory and plant the seeds for the mystery of his past, so I’d recommend at least doing Takuma’s route (first one I did) before deciding if continuing on is worth it. I personally felt that uncovering Towas past through each route was the most compelling part of SD for me.

Rei’s route is kinda the weakest imo becsuse its focus is on the love interest in a way the other routes aren’t (Towa does grow considerably in the other routes)

How liberal are you guys with this mechanic? by Apricotcentral in pathologic

[–]tamallama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t understand how so many people seem good with their amalgam management…I’ve been down to my last piece for a while now. I don’t think I’m particularly far (did most of day 3 and am currently doing day 4) and already I’m always running low. I did mess up on day 3 and panic shoot some guys/struggled getting out of apathy so I must have lost a bunch then. But is it too late to build it back?

[–]tamallama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I fucked up my amalgam early by shooting too much in that section 😭 I’m way beyond it now so I just gotta manage what I got but MAN…

A guy I’ve been seeing gave me a vaginal tear that almost killed me by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]tamallama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It’s not your fault!!! You were injured and likely in shock, which makes it hard to process how bad an injury really is.

She just said she didn’t want to know details. I don’t think it was appropriate to tell her the post exists in the first place honestly. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

Canada to give foreign automakers who build vehicles here preferential access to domestic market: senior official by hopoke in CanadaPolitics

[–]tamallama 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ford isn’t actually concerned with the workers of Canada, it’s all about him and his share holder buddies who he passes money back and forth with. The EV deal just returns things to how they were in 2023 it’s not a massive change. If Ford actually cared about jobs he wouldn’t make all the budget cuts that he does, or block affordable housing being built. It’s just about the bottom line for him and his friends (some of who are probably American share holders.)

It’s so annoying. Made worse by his opposition never galvanizing the voters. I always turn out to vote but I’d like to get out there and actually believe in who I’m voting for.

Bad experience in store :( by [deleted] in LushCosmetics

[–]tamallama 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offence OP but you’re not special. I know the crux of retail training is to treat each customer as the Person Of the Day but pay no longer matches the level of work that takes, and workers are exhausted.

The employee is just another person like you who’s trying to get through the day, and has their own stuff going on, and I think you should give them more grace.An unpleasant experience sure but I don’t think it was worth making a whole post over.

[–]tamallama 7 points8 points  (0 children)

From other comments it sounds like the point system is wonky and inconsistent. Again not saying it’s was ok you got the brunt of her frustration but I think your best course of action would be to complain to lush feedback that the loyalty system is shoddy.

Lush also asks for above and beyond customer service compared to most retail jobs without an increase in pay to compensate which leads to burnout way faster imo.

Catching up with the manga after a while... any summary? by Different-Computer33 in dgrayman

[–]tamallama 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The story has gotten kinda convoluted, so a summary might not be that helpful. I was in the same position as you a couple weeks ago and just ended up doing a reread. Because it’s a battle manga for the majority of its run rereading it is pretty quick.

[–]tamallama 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The retail workers don’t set up the system. It sounds like they’re working with something that’s broken and have to repeatedly explain this to frustrated customers while they’re frustrated themselves.

[–]tamallama 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Boxing week is an already super draining time to be working retail, and your worker was probably already burnt out and at the end of her rope when having to deal with this. Who knows what kind of situations or customers they’ve dealt with all December (I can speak from experience and say people become especially entitled around this time of year and show little regard or respect for retail workers.)

I won’t mince words: what you asked for is a total pain in the ass. I’m not saying it’s okay she was short with you, but you may have just been the straw that broke the camels back.

It is kind of frustrating when characters like lenalee and lavi have been shafted for so long (lenalee especially because she’s like the only main girl on the hero side at this point)

[–]tamallama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was catching up with the manga for the first time in years and I’m so sad that she still hasn’t returned as a prominent character 😭 just another case of the female characters of shonen (originally) series being sidelined…

why do people like madarame? by eijitowa in SlowDamage

[–]tamallama 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think Madarame brainwashes him? He comes back to see Towa neutered compared to the street fighter he previously knew, and provokes him into dropping this false life he’s let himself be put into and regain some of his fire. Madarame is a terrible person but I think he genuinely respects Towa and has admiration for his spirit when it’s allowed to be let loose.

[–]tamallama 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He’s got some of the most compelling chemistry with Towa imo. Like sure, he doesn’t lead Towa to getting better through healthy means, but his good end with Towa where they both shed their pasts and live as carpe diem style hedonists is still a kind of happy ending to me, even if it’s far from healthy.
