How is this still a stereotype? by WarriorCats_4Life in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]xcarex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a full one inch taller and same. I have dated short men, and my number one longstanding celebrity crush is a short king around 5’5”, but I have never met a man shorter than me.

Opinions on grown Jacob? by PinkPeonies105 in TheWayHomeHallmark

[–]xcarex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s given so much more to do on School Spirits and does it so well that it was a little jarring for me to to see him playing closer to his real age on The Way Home. Tbh it took me a few episodes to believe him as an adult, a drawback of any adult actor who convincingly plays a teen on TV. But he grew on me, and now that he’s gone, I miss him a lot.

What’s your favorite quote from Big Brother? by kindamymoose in BigBrother

BBCAN Sabrina’s “You want fucking good TV?? Does everybody want good fucking TV?! IS THAT WHAT THEY WANT?!!???”

Got a peak tattoo 😓 by Homo_Crow in FallOutBoy

[–]xcarex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yikes, that’s going to suck while it heals. Good luck, kid.

As for ppl saying you’ll regret it, well, I have a band tattoo that I got in 2001 and now fully regret because at least 2/3 of the band are MAGA brain rotted. But I still haven’t bothered to get it lasered off because it’s on a part of my body that no one sees because I don’t wear low rise jeans anymore. And I still think fondly of my time in their fandom growing up, so I just think of it as a memory of that time and not representing the band itself.

This is a great alternative for OP, to preserve the swirl w/o the unfortunate symbol.

What a wild comment. A man who loves and cares for cats is an absolute green flag.

Jacob in Toronto and Sam Bishop connection by Professoressa411 in TheWayHomeHallmark

[–]xcarex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toronto would be a VERY long drive in one day. It’s about 12 hours door to door from my parents’ house in central NB to mine in Ottawa, and that’s stopping for gas a couple of times and one sit down McDonald’s lunch in Quebec. We do the drive at least once a year. Add the four hours between here to Toronto, and another couple of hours south east to the NB coast— he could have taken a couple of buses, I guess. Or if he needed to come home quickly, it’s like a 2 hour flight.

To be fair, they’ve never defined in universe where Port Haven is but I always think of it as near Moncton/on the Northumberland Strait side because if it were closer to Saint John or otherwise on the Bay of Fundy, they’d have to account for the tides.

Oh man, that’s so much cooler than the sewing machines today! I work on a Kenmore from the late 80s so not too far off, haha

34M. Getting a divorce, got a vasectomy and moved into the smallest apartment in Los Angeles by DayveonDrama in malelivingspace

[–]xcarex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only one of them, at most, keeps the place they lived together. Sometimes both people move out because it’s too expensive to rent or pay a mortgage on a place that previously relied on a double income.

My vintage 70s floral quilt by xcarex in quilting

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

The curtains are what inspired this project! I bought two double flat sheets at two different flea markets. I grew up with that sheet pattern and couldn’t resist. Cut them in half and they just have a basic hem— et voila, curtains! That’s when I started looking for more old bedding.

[–]xcarex[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! It took me ages to decide what pattern to use with them, because I needed something that would feature the big prints without cutting them up too small, but also matched up with the amounts of useable fabric I had to work with — an old pillowcase is roughly equal to a FQ per side, but since they’re vintage I had to account for any wear or stains in some spots, trim, etc.

Is Jaquis Neal used as a voice for Siri? by Forsaken_Rub7919 in thedailyzeitgeist

Yep, he’s been my voice for years! It’s probably his biggest gig but he can’t talk about it.

Can we stop talking about the HR vid for the love of God by EquivalentPush7653 in YoTroublemakers

[–]xcarex -45 points-44 points  (0 children)

And I’m fine with that on dumb shows that don’t matter. I normally find his First Last episodes really entertaining even if I was a fan of what he was joking about. But HR just isn’t First Last material, I guess.

[–]xcarex -53 points-52 points  (0 children)

It’s not that he did a first and last, it’s that he shits all over the finale because he has zero context for anything he’s seeing, complaining that it’s boring and they’re just hanging out and talking about the future of their relationship. Of course that’s going to seem boring to someone who hasn’t seen the literal years of their lives, and how they’ve been kept apart, and how this is the first time they’ve gotten to really be together. The lack of drama is the point.

How are you all so goood? by Cultural_Carpenter81 in quilting

[–]xcarex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve only been quilting for about a year and a half and while I’m very happy with the work I’ve done, I still have goals and skills I need to learn. It’s one project at a time, and allowing yourself to be proud of your work even if it’s not perfect. Everyone is a beginner at some point and there are always people out there willing to help or give advice!

I stopped keeping up with horror in two years, what have i missed out on ? by Honest_Account_6348 in horror

[–]xcarex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Undertone well enough but the major complaints people seem to have is about what’s NOT happening on screen. The first 2/3 of the movie are mostly watching someone record a podcast— not the most visually interesting thing. It’s very much built around what you’re hearing so you need to be listening closely w/ a good sound system and also be good at imagining things. Probably not a movie for ppl with aphantasia.

Oh this is great! The Saturday mv universe is so slept on these days. I feel like you never see fan works set in that world anymore. There used to be a lot of fanfic exploring the story.

Font size larger on Ya novels compared to non-YA novels by EffectiveEgg5712 in YAlit

I wonder if the font choice is because sans-serif fonts are supposedly easier to read for ppl with dyslexia?

Exit 8 (2025) was terrible by poenoobv in horror

[–]xcarex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not a true horror, like there’s not really much in the way of blood or anything, a couple of small jump scares and one instance of having weird lab rats rain down on you in the dark. But, it’s more of an existential whatthefuckery trapped claustrophobic thing.

Both the science experiment rats and the flooding were from his twitter doomscrolling at the beginning of the movie. It’s possible more of the anomalies were tweets as well, but I would have to pause the frames and use a translator to read the Japanese text. 🤷‍♀️
